I'm going to see Sara Bareilles in concert today! This mani was inspired by the colors of her Blessed Unrest album.
So excited!

I've finally decided to try Bad Fairy. Despite my excitement for its release, I put it away as soon as I received it because it looked so orange in the bottle. I was almost certain it wouldn't suit me. It's not as bad as I feared, but I still don't see myself wearing this again.

I'm not sure why I waited so long to try this. It's beautiful! Blue India applied very well, which I can't say for some of my other MAC polishes. I need to hit up some CCO's to find a back up asap. Any sightings?

I'm not really the colored liner type, but Leticia, of Cosmetics Aficionado, posted a couple looks that inspired me to give it a go. Tightlining allowed me to keep the definition around my eyes that I always seem to lose when using colored liners.

It's been a while since I used my MAC palettes, so I thought I'd show them some love. I chose to work with my neutral palette. Continue reading for a breakdown.

At the moment, at least. :) NARS Dolce Vita is probably the first and only lipstick I'll ever use up and repurchase. It's great on its own, but I was in Heaven when I paired it with MAC Viva Glam V last week. Love.
I've been wearing this combo every day for over a week. I'm addicted!!

I forgot I owned MAC Honour until a fellow MuT poster requested a comparison of that and NARS Albatross. Luckily, it didn't take me too long to find it tucked away with all my other unused pro pan blushes. After a quick self-scolding, I got to work. I added Sertao to the comparison because, quite frankly, Honour is so much closer to that than Albatross. On with the show!
Sertao, Honour, Albatross
Same order in swatches:
Sertao is much more opaque than Honour, but if applied less heavily, they're basically identical on my skin. Albatross gives off a strong yellow-gold sheen. Definitely different.

I stopped by MAC on my way home from the city. Why? It was on the way, and I felt the need to try their concealer. I wasn't even afraid I'd be tempted by anything there, since I'm all about NARS right now.
Anyway, I was greeted right away and told the SA that I wanted to get a rec for an under eye concealer. She comes back, applies it, and then hands me a mirror....if I were drinking water, I would've done a spit take.
It was soooo dark and red! I walked over to a different area where there was brighter lighting, but it still looked horrible. I asked, "don't you think this is too red and deep?" She replies, "well with your undertones, any other color would turn ashy." So basically she was telling me that this was my only option, and I would just have to settle with it if I wanted a MAC concealer.
LMAO! This girl was obviously an idiot, or she thought I was an idiot. A blind one at that. Even if I had planned on buying anything, I would've dropped it all at that point.
I asked for a MAC wipe, took that shit off, and headed for the door.
