You know who has the *best* makeup?

Rihanna. Am I spelling that right?

I'm not sure what she does professionally... I think she's a singer? I don't think she's an actress. I really only see pictures of her.

Not only is she gorgeous, but she's not afraid of COLOR. That makes me so happy. No bland, boring neutral smoky eye. I saw a picture of her in a smoky eye done right- with a splash of blue.

She's gotta be a MAC girl. She looks awesome.

You know who has the *worst* makeup?

There are tons, but right now, I'd say Carmen Electra.

I thought her makeup used to be kinda hot, what with the whole Pam Anderson thing going on...

But have you SEEN those Max Factor ads? They're so bad, I just don't know what to say. It looks like Carmen fell asleep while babysitting, and the child decided to use mommy's makeup on her. Actually, I think a five-year-old could do better than the makeup artist for those ads.

I'm sure even my ass could do better.

They must be paying her a hell of a lot for her to agree to those things. Like easter-egg coloring gone wrong.

It's not sexy, it's not edgy, hell, it's not even pretty. In fact, I'd say it's downright hideous. It's not even the colors themselves that are so bad. It's the presentation- they can't decide if they're trying to be artistic or glamorous. It doesn't make me want to buy Max Factor, it makes me want to point and laugh.

I would say Christina Aguilera has had some pretty nice makeup if she wasn't so damn orange. Lay off the fake tan, already. JUST BE PALE. IT'S OKAY!!! YOU ARE ORANGE AND YOU LOOK ABSURD.

I was watching LA Ink (I think that's the right one?) the other night and I got all excited when Kat was doing her makeup and IT WAS ALL MAC! I was like, "LOOK! LOOK AT ALL THE MAC!! THAT'S SO AWESOME!!"

She has pretty awesome makeup, too.

I'm such a dork.

Well, here's my eye from Saturday. I couldn't get the glitter to capture on film... How do you photograph glitter? I can't figure it out.



It was bright orange and purple with tons of glitter. It looks a little dull without the sparkle. I guess I will just have to practice my camera skills. I'm a n00b.

Wanna see something cool?





Not enough polish for you?

Here's another hundred...




And here's my eye for the day:




MAC Shroom, Sprout, Humid, Deep Truth, Woodwinked. Laura Geller Wonder Wand. Urban Decay Honey liner, with MAC Engraved underneath. Almost the same as yesterday, but with green this time.

This whole taking pictures thing is kinda fun, actually.

*gasp*

I have pictures!

I just so happen to have a camera with me today...

Too bad it's not an exciting makeup day.

Here's my eye for the day. It's from the MAC 2005 Ornamentalism warm palette. Rich Ground fluidline as liner and Laura Geller Magic Wand to highlight. Bland, yes, I know, but it's the first time I've used Cranberry.





And the nails. Zoya Roxy. It's very luminous and hard to capture on camera.

Natural light:

Bottle, natural light:




So... while I have a camera in my hands... What should I photograph? I have no idea.

Wow. Just... wow.

Someone sent me this link and I'm not even sure what to say. I just want to wring this nutjob's neck...

I am speechless. I can't decide if I'm angry or sad, or what's worse- the poster or the commenters.

Even if I wasn't the crazy, makeup-obsessed person that I am, I'd still find that advice and attitude appalling.

We don't care about ourselves... Makeup is unnecessary because I'm married... Who needs more than one eyeshadow? I don't care how I look or smell.

Makeup isn't clutter. Ever. It might be unorganized at times, but seriously, clutter???

She must look like an ogre... MAKEUP BAD! NAIL POLISH CLUTTER! MUST HAVE EMPTY HOUSE!!! GRRRRRR!!!

Regarding the "new" Sephora fall catalogue that just arrived in my mailbox...

What the crap, Sephora?! This is pretty much identical to the last catalogue! Why did you even bother to print and mail this piece of crap?!

Seriously, this is getting to me. I look forward to getting the new Sephora catalogue and now I'm sorely disappointed.

There's nothing even new or interesting in it. Sad.

I did just see the new Urban Decay palette online and I'm SO getting that once it's in stock. It's nine of the new Deluxe shadows, plus a mini Primer Potion. I have to have the mini 24/7 liner set too. I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket...

The Sephora holiday catalogue better be good. Grr.

I really love makeup. Seriously. It just brightens my day. Doesn't that sound cheesy? I know it does.

I should have some sort of career in makeup. I've thought about it.

I don't know if I could be a makeup artist, cause the idea of touching a bunch of strangers makes me cringe... I tried the work at the makeup counter thing, I just couldn't tell all those lies to make a sale... I could do nails, but I don't have a license and some people have really gross hands...

Maybe something will come up.

Maybe I would invent the perfect silver eyeshadow.

I've been on the quest to find the perfect silver for a long time. They're either too grey or too sheer. I usually have to layer a bunch of things to get the color I want, and even then it's not perfect.

MAC has let me down... They don't have the perfect silver. They always have the perfect everything!

I stumbled across this brand called Fyrinnae and they have silver and chrome. I ordered a few samples, so we'll see. Maybe I'll find "the one".

I'm trying to do the silver smoky eye today. Urban Decay Uzi with the silver from last year's MAC Formal Black palette (can't remember the name.), Softwash Grey pigment, Frost pigment, Black Tied and Make Up For Ever Diamond Powder. It's nice, sure, but it's not SILVER. I want metallic sparkly goodness! This is just kinda metallic glittery grey.

I should really take some pictures. Blogs are boring without pictures.

I finally got Boudoir. Smells kinda funky, but the bottle is beautiful.

I have noticed that when I post, I use the letter "I" entirely too much. I usually begin my sentences with I and I also talk about myself a lot. Today is talk like a pirate day. Aye.

I'm disappointed with OPI at the moment. I think they changed the formula of their polishes and now they're all thick and goopy and take longer to dry. I'm wearing Suzi Loves Sydney and it's just not the same!

They also seem to have switched entirely to the pro wide brush. At first I loved it, but now I think it's too wide. I miss the old formula and the skinny brushes. Maybe I should write them a letter.

I'm getting excited for holiday collections. Let's hope I have the cash to drop by then!

Did anyone else notice that the L.A.M.B fragrance smells exactly like Benefit's Maybe Baby?

Not that I was expecting anything more from a celebrity fragrance, but, coming from Gwen it should have been at least interesting.

Death to the fruity floral! You need to die now!!!
