Grand Entrance

I've been meaning to do this post for a while but for some reason I haven't. But here it is at last!

Just wanted to share with you the beauty of MAC Grand Entrance LE e/s and a little dorky swatch thrown in as well.

As you already know from my previous post on the MAC Love that look collection, the starflash finish is my absolute favorite along with veluxe pearl which can be very similar.

MAC describes it as a frosty peach beige. As for me well I don't see much of the peachy-ness, but it is a beautiful shimmery champagne color.

I use it all over my eyelid with something simple like Carbon, Espresso, or Shadowy Lady on the crease. Or just as a higlight on my inner V, and it makes me look very bright eyed and awake which is always a good thing :).

I always go for e/s that can be used over and over on a daily basis but that also look amazing for a night out and this one is very versatile, since you can pair it with shimmers or matte finishes and still looks amazing.




Also it photographs beautifully! (Hope you like my swatch lol)


Grand Entrance has been compared with Stila Kitten, and apparently it's a really good dupe for it, I can't tell because I don't own it but in pics it looks really similar. So if you missed GE, you might want to check out Stila Kitten.

Def. one to have! I loooove it!

Face Makeup Rutine

One of the reasons I love reading beauty blogs is because I get to steal a peek at what other girls use on their faces on a daily basis, I'm just curious like that and I figured you are too!

So that's why I decided to show you girls what I have been using almost every single day for a couple of months.

Yes, I said months because once I find a rut I like and works I stick with it for ages (I'm very habitual and have issues with change...but that's off topic lol <3)>

♥ MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 (NC30)

This is my holy grail foundation and I have no idea how I could've lived without it for so long. I'm fairly new to MAC and makeup in general, so this is only my second bottle of this amazing foundation. It has medium coverage, spf 15 which is always good, and most importantly it stays put, even in the heat it lasts the whole day without running. What else can I say, LOVE it! I truly recommend trying it.

♥ MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 (NW 30, 20)

Again, this concealer changed my life! I have some serious issues with undereye dark circles, and tried a few concealers that were awful and didn't do any good, but then I found this and omg! I swear this stuff is great and it will cover almost anything. Only downside is that it's a bit drying, but it has too many pros to pay attention to that.

♥ MAC Prep+Prime

I didn't get this when it initially came out, but I'm happy I finally did. It is an amazing setting powder that will leave your skin feeling super smooth and silky. I like it because it helps control my oily T zone. I will def. buy it again.

♥ MAC Select Sheer/Loose Powder (NC 30)

I like to use loose powders to set my foundation, and my prep+prime hasn't been able to truly replace this one. I love this one because it has a bit of micro shimmers on it whereas the prep+prime is completely matte.

♥ MAC Matte

In an effort to control the insane oil production that my T zone produces I got this. To be honest I'm not really sure I love it yet (even though I want to). You're supposed to use this underneath or on top of makeup, heck sometimes I even do two layers of this and still it doesn't convince me. Let's see what happens... If you have any suggestions to make it work please let me know, it will be truly appreciated by my shiny nose. :)

♥ Nars Laguna Bronzer

A cult favorite. And with a reason. This is the best bronzer ever, not too brown not too orangey. As many others I go through love and hate phases with this one but overall I love it. So if you're fair you do need a light hand and the right brush. I use this to contour and dust a bit on my cheeks and temples, not too much. I recommend you getting this, you will love it to pieces (and maybe hate it sometimes...but no j/k this is love)

♥ Chanel Double Perfection SPF 10

This is what I use if I need to touch up during the day. This is a powder that you can use wet or dry, and it works as a foundation as well. It's really silky and soft, plus the chic packaging doesn't hurt either.

So that's about it! Any thoughts or recommendations for me? Let me know!

Let the nail polish obsession begin...

I have always loved nail polish.

I remember when I was five and use to wear nail polish with multicolor glitter to kindergarden, yeah I was allowed and I loved it. Fast foward 19 years later and guess what?! I still love nail polish haha! I have a pretty decent collection of polishes but only recently have I discovered the wonders of higher end nail polishes, I'm not talking about the crazy expensive Chanel or YSL nail polishes, just plain and less expensive OPI, Orly and the infamous China Glaze.I'm not a professional manicurist or anything, I just love nail polish.

Here are some pics I took just to share something with you guys, I hope you like. And btw lets ignore my cuticles and the fact that I can't seem to paint inside the lines haha :)

I'm all about pink so is no wonder this is one of my favorite nail colors, it's called Basket Case (like the Greenday song that I also love). This color is almost exactly the same as the MAC Heatherette collection packaging, so if you like it I truly recommend :)

Here is my Heatherette inspired look...

This is what I used: Orly in Basket Case and Cover Girl Boundless Color in Disco Dazzle (405)


Hope you like it

OMG my first post! <3

Hey guys!
Thanks so much for stopping by and reading my blog, I hope you like and stick around for awhile. Here I will post anything that I love, really. I'm just here to have fun and make new friends. I've been reading beauty related blogs for almost a year now, since I discovered the makeup community on youtube. I have a youtube account (http://www.youtube.com/pinklumpysugar23) but I still don't have the guts to make some vids of my own, but I sure will someday... I'm just shy LOL. But anyway let me know what you think, I love to hear from you guys! :)

So here it is my first blog post yay!!! I'm so excited <33

xoxo Kathy
