Years ago, I read that there was a guide to colors of eye shadow one should wear based on your eye color. While I do not remember all of the rules, I remember that those with blue eyes should wear neutral to make the blue of their eyes pop more...while those with brown eyes (like … Continue reading Is Purple My Color?
This is what happens when you watch too many SFX videos on Instagram followed by some annoyance at work. While I'm not sure the final product truly conveyed what I was picturing, it was not a bad start. If I did it over again (and I most likely would), I would add some more edging … Continue reading What Lies Beneath
Last Saturday, my husband and I were browsing Half Price books as I had recently finished The Other Queen and needed some new reading material. I was filled with glee when I looked over and saw a new copy of Alice Isn't Dead by Joseph Fink and quickly moved to giddiness when I realized it … Continue reading Alice Isn’t Dead
To everyone (mostly myself) that has been distracted from my eye make up due to my brows, I got fantastic news: I *finally* got them cleaned up. A quick stop by Brow Art 23 in the Mid Rivers Mall to get them threaded and I feel some what human again*. Cheers! ❤ McKenzieMua

Based on these experiences, I ordered two more eye shadow palettes and a … Continue reading Karity Matte Palette -Rainbow
During Tarte's end of the year sale, I picked up the Fierce and Flirty Eye Set (because I'm a sucker for cats). I also wanted the chance to try some of the other Tarte mascaras since I am in love with their Lights Camera Lashes Mascara and I figure it's been a while since I … Continue reading Tarte Maneater Liquid Eye Liner
Welp, I have returned from the land of the semi-dead. Seriously, I considered drilling into my face at one point if it would give me some pressure relief. That's neither here nor there and we got make up to discuss...starting with yesterdays... Holiday party with the in-laws mean that I wanted to keep things on … Continue reading Look Ma! I put on fake flashes…kinda…
Sorry for the lack of post yesterday - I've been battling a cold turn sinus infection for a few weeks now and it got the best of me (I'm sure my New Year's Eve mimosas did not help either). Anyway, for accountability sake, I wanted to post some of my goals for 2019 that have … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions – Beauty Edition
A few months ago, I ran across a make up brand on Instagram that I had never heard of before: Karity. While I see random brands pop up in ads from time to time, what really caught my attention was the reviews and the price: all reviews raved about the products and the price for … Continue reading Karity
Earlier this week, I was playing around with my new beloved Urban Decay Elements Palette since my Sub Zero look turned out so nicely. I did not have a theme for this one really - mostly going with greens and browns and trying a new eyeshadow technique I found via Wayne Goss on YouTube called … Continue reading Left Eye Lazy
