New Spring 2011 MAC WONDER WOMAN Collection!

As a child growing up in the 80's I was never into barbie. I was however into WONDER WOMAN! So you can imagine my excitement when I heard about the new MAC Collection for Spring 2011!!

Maybe one of the best parts of this collection is you will get more "BANG" for you buck - with this collection there will be OVERSIZED packaging to mimic her taste for larger than life things! - How awesome is that!?!

I'm also super excited to check out the limited edition BLUE makeup brushes!

I think that this is seriously one of the most exciting collections that MAC has come out with in awhile!

This collection will be available Feb 10 - Mid April! I CAN'T WAIT!

Expect to see Blue, Red, Gold's and Plums :)

WET N WILD Creme Eyeliner - REVIEW

I purchased the wet n wild creme eyeliner in BLACK and EGGPLANT at Rite-Aid about a year ago. I have used the product pretty frequently, and they have not dried out, and are just as good as when I first used it. I bought a similar product at coastal scents for nearly twice the price of this, I used it once, and went to use it a month later and it was all dried out! :(
This was $3.99 and is an absolute steal! It has a very smooth application - I DO NOT like the brush that it comes with as it is too thick to get a nice line with. I recommend using your own liner brush, if you have one. The pigmentation is amazing, it's waterproof, and once it dries it does NOT budge. You can blend it out if you do it as soon as you apply it. I've heard some complaint about removal, but I use my own oil based remover, and have no problem at all :)
If you're looking for a more budget friendly alternative to MAC fluidline, Try this! I will be repurchasing! I just wish they had more colors!

5 Min Neutral Eye Look

I think I am going to aim the majority of the tutorials to be very quick and simple - 5 Minute Face tutorials. With 2 kids running around, sometimes that's all the time I have, and I think it will be fun! Today's Look is again with Spectrum Cosmetics. I used the " Get the Look" 3 piece Stackable in Tiny Bubbles ( light cream) Sandalwood ( golden brown) and Soil ( matte brown)
It is $8 for the set and it's available here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/64438566/get-the-look-3-piece-stackable-soil

I also used the Spectrum Cosmetics Mineral Foundation in Beige. It is $12 for a 20 Gram Jar http://www.etsy.com/listing/65095618/beige-matte-mineral-foundation-20-gram
and the eye primer which is $7 for a 5 gram jar:

Here is the finished look - If you like it please subscribe, and read on! :)
Step 1 and 2 Apply your foundation, fill in your brows, and prime your eyes
Step 3 Apply TINY BUBBLES under the brow, and in the inner 1/3 corner of your eye - There will likely be fallout as you see here, but don't worry, it will easily brush away!

Step 4 Apply Sandalwood to the outer 2/3's of your eye and blend
as much or as little as you want

Step 5. Take a TINY amount of Soil and place it on the very outer edge of your eye, and blend

it slowly into your crease.

Step 6. Apply eyeliner, and Mascara, and you're ready to go :)

OR You can now apply your blush, and lip stick.

I opted not to apply any lipstick, but did add a bit of Charming Pigment as my blush!
