Here are some pictures from my birthday weekend in March. I honestly can’t remember what was on my eyes except for the last picture. I have on the MAC Colour 3 quad. Bruised Plum on the lid and Black Tulip/Jungle Moon in the corner and crease. My face has the usual.

Can I just say I love the Colour 3 quad. It gives me life!
Next to Nothing is my favorite shadow. It was the reason I seriously considered buying a second Tempting quad. If anyone ones a good dupe let me know. My search has been pointless.

I hope everyone had a fabulous and wonderful New Year's! This look is basically a recreation of a look I wore to a wedding last year except I was using Ulta Minerals. I wasn't all that thrilled with the Ulta Minerals so I did a lot of layering of similar colors since we were running late and I did not feel like washing my face and starting over. Hence the 1000 many shadows.

I love creativity. Whether it's makeup, sewing or crafting I try to make my make visions into reality. Here are my experiments mixed with sprinkles of random ramblings here and there.
