<span style="font-size: large;">Makeup Makeup Makeup!!!</span> Of course I have been watching YouTube videos... as always and I came across a brand called <a href="http://www.citycolorcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">City Color Cosmetics</a>!! I watched a few videos and I was sold!! I am a makeup junkie... I just can't stop. But at least I am using it more now!!! Anyway, I checked out the website and found A LOT OF STUFF!!! The prices are amazing and the products a not that bad either! Once I got everything unpacked I decided to use a couple of the products for a look... 95% of them were great. The Curl Mascara just didn't work out to be what I wanted. I did like the brush tho... but the product wasn't what I like in a mascara. I did a haul video for these, but I forgot a few items. The Smokey palette and the Be Matte blush in Blood Orange. </div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uq59xgR2wAE/U-4wvEuDl6I/AAAAAAAABkc/mvZzsGsChKs/s1600/2014-08-15%2B11.23.53.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uq59xgR2wAE/U-4wvEuDl6I/AAAAAAAABkc/mvZzsGsChKs/s1600/2014-08-15%2B11.23.53.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a> The Smokey palette has 12 small circular eyeshadows. Looks like 2 mattes, 3 satins and the rest are like a velvet or frost. 2 double ended sponge applicators are included. This palette doesn't have a mirror... but that looks like the only thing that is missing. I did mini test of the colors and they are pretty opaque (I used the sponge apps... which normally sucks in the color so I am excited for when I use a brush) I should have taken these pictures next to items so you could tell the size, but since I didn't I will tell you that this palette is about the size of an iPhone 5. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The Intense Blush Quad in collection 2 is the coral quad. All 4 are super pigmented!! Use a smaller brush tho. Just because these are a bit powdery. A round flat brush like the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/146/826/Products/Brushes/Face/109-Small-Contour-Brush/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC 109</a> or <a href="http://www.target.com/p/sonia-kashuk-kashuk-tools-dense-blush-powder-brush-no-24/-/A-14024596#prodSlot=_2_5" target="_blank">Sonia Kashuk</a> brush like this will do nicely!! I totally plan on getting the other 3 collections. This collection feels smooth, finger swatches are good on even bare skin. Of course the colors will not be this pigmented on the cheek with a round brush... but you could surely build up the color to where you would want it. The deep coral one is really interesting!</div>

Listen I wish I could tell you that this is a quad to travel with.... but it's just soo <span style="font-size: x-large;">big</span>!! See my video to see this puppy next to my face. Watch my haul video on YouTube to see. Speaking of the video I forgot to show two products The Smokey palette and then the Be Matte blush in Blood Orange. Just the name is interesting enough. I haven't tried this blush on the face yet, but I put a brush to it and applied to the back of my hand. It runs a bright coral color. I need to start wearing this soon for it's all most the end of the summer. Not saying you couldn't wear this all year around, but alone.. I think mid September is the max. Well that is it for this post... I hope you guys watch my video below to hear more thoughts and visit the City Color website!!!<br />

<b><span style="color: #93c47d; font-size: large;">Wow it has been a while!</span></b> But from the title you can see what I have up to! Busy busy Mom here... and I noticed how easy it is to let ones self go.... I was rocking some CraZy eyebrows a few weeks ago! Then I just got sick of looking like I was so run down.<br />
Here are the steps I took to getting back on track!!<br />
<br />
*<b>Cleaned out my collection</b>. I tossed mascara, lipglosses, and liquid foundations.<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oBYlvykiprM/URcO4UofanI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/YevEzBWPWzI/s1600/aveeno.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="209" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oBYlvykiprM/URcO4UofanI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/YevEzBWPWzI/s320/aveeno.gif" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">*These wipes are fast and dual textured!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
*<b>Cleaned and separated my brushes</b>. I took a hard look at which brushes I was really really going to use daily. The rest I put in brush rolls. This might not be something you have to do... but I have well over 100 brushes ...rut ruh.<br />
*<b>Lined up my skincare</b>. I switched from face washes back to remover wipes and <a href="http://www.aveeno.com/facialcare/clear-complexion-cleansing-pads" target="_blank">Aveeno</a>'s pre-everything disc. I find those quick and I can use them with one hand;-)<br />
*<b>Moved some stuff around.</b> I no longer have a makeup desk... (I know right!!! But the new baby needed a spot to sleep:-)) So things like MAC Brush cleanser and Fix+ moved into the bathroom. Note about bathroom storage. It is best to only keep products that are not temperature sensitive AND covered or sealed there. Brushes and general makeup can get bacteria build up fast. If you must store in the bathroom... move items as far from toilet and tub as possible. And just for extra protection spot clean brushes before use.<br />
*<b>I went back to basic makeup.</b> It has to be fast when it comes to being busy... or I guess I could wake up at 5am (yeah right) So it's just clean, prep, foundation, brows, long lasting liner, mascara, touch of blush and I have been using liner to fill the lip then adding a gloss. Done! Some this like this...<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8fRGq5cdqjM" width="480"></iframe> <br />
<br />
*<b>The last thing I did was trim my makeup bag...</b> I now carry the bare essentials in the makeup bag since I now have diapers and wipes also in my purse!!<br />
<br />
Trust me it was super hard going from full face to not a scratch... but coming back to a happy medium was great. I also plan on visiting my old store to see the new trends... so I can start feeling connected again!!!<br />
Being a mother of 3 little boys (who are crazy, but fun) is hard work... but not impossible! And looking halfway decent is possible.<br />

Here are some easy items to get into for beautiful skin!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Zgc9Lji0JE/T8TmoCqgC1I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/5lTi_sHP7jE/s1600/Water.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Zgc9Lji0JE/T8TmoCqgC1I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/5lTi_sHP7jE/s200/Water.jpg" width="132" /></a></div>
<b>Water</b>*: Refill your body with this primary component. Keeping hydrated during the warmer weather is not only necessary but good for your skin!! With the added sun protectors you will be using it is important to have water help flush the skin ie. sweat! If you are not a big water drinker try using enhancers like MiO or Crystal Light. Another helpful hint... you can get your 8 glasses of water a day in just 4 16.9 oz water bottles... with <b>3.70oz extra a day</b>!!<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pe5HaRY3l5g/T8T8YKpkCXI/AAAAAAAAAwo/Q5Yo4RWLEr0/s1600/100_2861.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pe5HaRY3l5g/T8T8YKpkCXI/AAAAAAAAAwo/Q5Yo4RWLEr0/s320/100_2861.JPG" width="240" /></a><b>Cleansing the skin</b>: Look you've heard it before...from your parents first I'm sure ... "Go wash your face!" Makeup, SPF, sweat, and the environment all can pile up on the skin! It is SUPER important to wash away the grime from your skin DAILY!! On light makeup days I use this combo! I cleanse with the MAC <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/179/19308/Mineralize-Charged-Water-Cleanser/index.tmpl" target="_blank">Mineralize Charge Water Cleanser </a> I just use a cotton ball (or cotton pad) and then <a href="http://www.neutrogena.com/product/deep+clean+long-last+shine+control+daily+scrub.do?sortby=ourPicks" target="_blank">Neutrogena</a>'s new scrub what helps tackle shine with rice protein! Find your combo and work with it!<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>SPF+</b>: Enough said. Every skin tone needs sun protection!! EVERY!! Walking down a city block for shopping, heading to the beach, watching a ball game, or having a picnic in the park.. all sunblock situations! Good thing is a lot of our skincare items have some SPF built in! SPF is perfect all year around, because even tho the summer time sun feels stronger because of the tilt of the Earth, it has the same strength year long.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><b><br /></b></b><br />
<b>Diet</b>: Not dieting... but what you eat and ingest into your body! Enjoy your cocktails with the girls, get down at the weekend BBQ, and get a creamy soft serve every now and then get back to your regular routine!<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Sleep</b>: With Summertime parties and people starting their days earlier plus still holding down the 9 to 5's it is easy to get run down! No matter your age we all need time to repair our bodies and that's what sleep does for you!! Check out<a href="http://www.sleepfoundation.org/article/how-sleep-works/how-much-sleep-do-we-really-need" target="_blank"> this article </a>about sleep for more detailed info! There is not the "magic number**" that is important, but the kind of sleep we get!!<br />
<br />
Those are my 5 Summer Essentials for beautiful skin. Not saying you won't get a flair up or suffer a burn, but these will help keep your skin healthy and happy for most of the time!!<br />
Enjoy Summer 2012!!<br />

<span style="text-align: left;"> I went to the Hey, Sailor unveiling event last night at MAC! I had a blast!! The hors d'oeuvres were cute with sea themes, the drinks looked yummy and lagoon colored! There was a tap dancer and sailor boys doing tattoos! I wanted to share a few pictures of products and some of the event!! I will have a video up by this afternoon showing everything I got!! </span>My Best friend and I arrived at 7pm... Thank goodness it had stopped raining by then, cause there was a sizable line at the door! As we entered, the tap dancer started her thing... See looked just like the visual except she was a blonde!! All the staff was decked(haa haa no pun intended) out in cute sailor hats, gold accents, and vintage looking skirts! Music was blasting and everyone was testing, swatching, eating, getting tattooed, and having a good time!! <span style="text-align: left;">Full reviews of these newbies will be out within the week!! This MAC collection comes out in the USA on May 24th!! </span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">Here are the goodies I picked up!! </span><span style="text-align: left;">Enjoy!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KnENs0AnEW4/T6vEiZELuvI/AAAAAAAAAoY/2LNIvkqJYWY/s1600/sail3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KnENs0AnEW4/T6vEiZELuvI/AAAAAAAAAoY/2LNIvkqJYWY/s400/sail3.jpg" width="308" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">On<b> May 15th</b> I am heading out for some makeup and partying at a local MAC store for the Hey Sailor collection Unveiling party!!</span> The <b>US launch date is May 24th</b>... the collection will be show and sold at the Unveiling party and then packed back up until the 24th! I love these parties!! A ton of MAC artist friends will be there... talking up the collection and just being friendly and fun!! Most of the time there is no makeup applications done, but you'll get to swatch the colors, quickly try on a gloss I'm sure, and also pick up any regular products you might need! At past parties... a blank paper with a list of the collection is given out...where u can check off which products you want! Then once you've check off your item(sssssss) give it to one of the artist there and they can pull your stuff for you!<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b2S5W8rKjrA/T6vHcmfZo8I/AAAAAAAAAok/9ksoUa1uLhM/s1600/mac_heysailor014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b2S5W8rKjrA/T6vHcmfZo8I/AAAAAAAAAok/9ksoUa1uLhM/s200/mac_heysailor014.jpg" width="130" /></a><br />
<br />
To see if your local MAC store is having an event call or check <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC</a> Cosmetics website... Look toward the bottom of the menu bar (Find a Store or an Event). When you do find an event by you... make sure you call!! Most stores do a staggered entry times...starting 3 to 4 hours before reg closing times depending on the location. And there is a limit to the amount of people!!<br />
<br />
Now if you need all the details please check out Temptalia. Christine did her usually wonderful info spread on this collection!! So please check out her <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-hey-sailor-collection-for-summer-2012" target="_blank">blog </a>her for the run down on the colors and prices! I have seen the collection in person already and I have to say... I am excited!!! The colors are prefect for this time of year and into the summer season! I don't even want to talk about the packaging!! Hey! if you can't wait to the US launch date... this collection is out in Europe already... so if you have a friend....<br />

<div>
Here is a thought for all you who want to be a MAC artist. At the Unveiling parties <b>Store Management, Trainers, and District Management </b>ARE present! Dress your best(not necessary in all black!!) Talk to a lot of the artist and introduce yourself. NOTE: This is not a time to tell them your resume... but just be charming and note worthy. Also come back to the location within a week or so if you are looking for a MAC career. Dropping off a clean resume and if possible portfolio! Good Luck.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was just talking to one of my makeup artist friends and we were talking about the strangest, weirdest, or just out of the ordinary place we've done makeup!! </span> I have to say the weirdest place I've done makeup was on a bus into the city... I was on my way to an early morning photo shoot.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UTAd3IcpYXY/T6mw3GBXhJI/AAAAAAAAAn4/knjY6Yw4-DU/s1600/bus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UTAd3IcpYXY/T6mw3GBXhJI/AAAAAAAAAn4/knjY6Yw4-DU/s320/bus.jpg" width="320" /></a>I jammed into my seat next to a young lady, kit between my legs, carry bag on my lap... I was touching up from the walk to the bus station and I heard... "Wow you have a lot of makeup in your makeup bag..." HAHA... she of course had no clue... we started talking and with in minutes I learned she was heading to an early lunch with a old college roommate!! She was nicely dressed, perfect hair do... and NOT A STITCH of makeup on!!!! I was like... would you like me to do a little on you? Haa haa we had about a 30 min ride so in between the bumps and shifts we did the WHOLE face! I did wait until we stopped at Port Auth. to do her mascara... the last thing I needed was to be sued for jabbing her in the eye! We parted and I cleaned my brushes at the start of my photo shoot! My friend's story is a bit similar... she gave a lip-over on a subway! Seems like the girl was over blending and way too much lipgloss...<br />

The best thing about lip stains out there now... most of them have the marker tip just like the Revlon ones do! This helps even the most unsteady hand. Check out the <a href="http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Lips/Lipstain.aspx">Revlon Just Bitten</a> line.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WiopoJrQSpY/T6ksCwnQvfI/AAAAAAAAAns/wDFp71flUdk/s1600/rev.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WiopoJrQSpY/T6ksCwnQvfI/AAAAAAAAAns/wDFp71flUdk/s320/rev.jpg" width="164" /></a>The most important thing with lip stains is <b>LIP PREP</b>!! People you have to prep your lips... if you do a sugar scrub the night before and sleep with a heavy lip balm... you should be all set!! I found that when I was first testing it... I didn't prep well and the color came off uneven. Keeping on the older skin more that the supple skin.<br />
Revlon's Just Bitten comes in a range of colors like Fate, Forbidden, and Midnight which are deeper to the lighter shades like Passion and Instinct. The retail prices will always range... but look for sales at places like<a href="http://www.ulta.com/"> Ulta </a>and CVS. After you have applied the stain to your lips, Revlon suggest to wait 30 seconds and then apply the satiny lip balm that is on the other end of the stick. Everything is all in one on this product! I haven't had this wand for that long, but I have noticed that the cover for the stain end has a cap that is a "double cover". I don't think this makes it air tight, but it insures that it snaps into place each time. So make sure when you replace the cap you hear a snap!<br />
So all the lovely stuff is out of the way... let's get to the cons. I only have but one con, but to me it's a biggie!! The lip balm end of the product.... arggg! The lip balm comes with about a 1/4 inch exposed and that's it... it does not wind either up or down. Being that you can't wind it down... you have to be very gentle with this or it may snap! And since the balm is the product I will have to apply more than the stain... I find that it will not out last the stain! So even tho I love the color range is great, staying power is awesome, and the lip balm is a satin balm effect.... the balm will finish or snap before I've used all the stain! Maybe Revlon will come out with a refill??<br />
