How to: Depot your MAC e/s. Easy!


Wow, I feel really productive! 2 posts in a row?
I think I might be going back to my old hobby of blogging haha 

I am sure there are a BUNCH of How to depot your mac eyeshadow tutorials out there but I decided to share this anyway

It is SUPER easy. It takes less than 5 minutes

Shall we start?

First things first,

You'll need
-A straightener
-A knife
-Your MAC eyeshadow that you want depotted

This is MAC Newly Minted in case you're wondering


Step one:
Preheat straightener and grab your knife and pop out the eyeshadow

Step two:
Place the piece that you just popped out in to your straightener

Wait a minute then put the other piece in to the straightener

Step three:
After 30 seconds, take out the pot (leave the eyeshadow for another minute) then pop out the sticker label

 After, take out the eyeshadow and push it out

 Step four:
Place the sticker label into the eyeshadow
Step five (optional):
Buy a magnet and place under the eyeshadow. I didn't do this step

 Then place it in your eyeshadow case :)




Hold on to the pot. Collect six and go back to MAC to get a free eyeshadow or lipstick ;)


I hope this helped!

My MAC 15 Eyeshadow palette

Hello, ladies...and gents. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
I saw "Identity Thief" with this guy that I've been seeing for a month last night ;) haha. It was a great movie. I am so fond of Jason Bateman, that's why I decided to see it and it's because the trailer looked hilarious. You should see it when you get the chance.

But anyway, I have finally completed my MAC 15 eyeshadow palette!
That took awhile.

I started collecting MAC eyeshadows in 2010. I started buying them in a pot form but then I think around March 2011 I purchased an empty case palette and bought 4 eyeshadows in a refill pan form and I just started collecting and building my palette

2 years later... I finally completed my first MAC 15 eyeshadow palette!  Yay me
It took me such a long time because I was in love with Urban Decay eyeshadows and I bought most of their palettes.



From left to right 
Row 1 : Gesso, Ricepaper, Nylon, Dazzlelight, Brule
Row 2: Amber Lights, Poison Pen, Soft Brown, Sable, Espresso
Row 3: Contrast, Coppering, Stars and Rockets, Beauty Marked, Carbon


I have more but they are in a quad form or pot form. I am thinking about buying a new palette case and depot all my eyeshadows...but then I really dislike the new MAC palette packaging so I'm debating

Nylon is my favorite highlighter! Can't you tell? haha


Thanks for looking!

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE MAC EYESHADOW?

Benefit They're Real Mascara = HOLY GRAIL MASCARA

Holy shit, guys! I think I just found my holy grail mascara!

I have been searching and searching for the perfect mascara and I think this is the one.

Personally, I love dramatic eyelooks so a dramatic lashes is a MUST.
This mascara makes my lashes look so long. I didn't even think that my lashes could look like this.



Excuse my nails. I need to do them soon. Can I just say that I freakin love shellac by the way?

Anyway, I received the sample mascara on Sephora and just fell in love with it right away. I decided to purchase the full size mascara. 


I think it's the brush that makes this mascara so perfect and the thick fiber formula.
Here is me wearing them. Two coats.

PROS:
- It really does lengthen the lashes
-Very dark. Which I like
- Good Formula
- Makes my eyelashes look "fake"

CONS:
-Very Pricey. 23 USD

Overall, I think this is the best mascara I have ever tried.

Here is an instagram version and how it looks with dramatic make up ;)


WHAT IS YOUR HOLY GRAIL MASCARA?


Neutral eyes + Red Lips = Best Combo

Hey dolls, It's almost the weekend!

Well almost the weekend for me, since my week ends on Thursdays. No school on Fridays. I freakin' love college!

Today, I decided to do this FOTD. I've never really been a "natural" kind of girl since I am such a huge fan of dark makeup but I decided to give this a try.

The red lipstick makes the look complete in my opinion.
I love it

MAC Archie's Girls FOTD

I was thinking about picking up this collection. I was looking at the swatches and most of the lipsticks got me. 
Originally, I was going to pick up Betty Bright, Daddy's Little Girl,Ronnie Red and Girl Next Door but when I went to my local MAC counter, everything was sold out and I only got my hands on Girl Next Door . Bummer. 
The rest of the collection didn't really catch my eye.





The lipstick was a lustre and a little bit too sheer for my liking but it's a perfect baby pink for everyday look. Not too bold but not too boring.

By the way, I used OPI Alpine Snow on my nails in case you're wondering

I used -

FACE:
Smashbox Photolight Primer
MAC Face and Body C4
MAC Harmony
MAC Pro Long Concealer in NW20
MAC Prep and Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
MAC Pearl Cream Color Base

EYES:
Lorac Behind the Scenes Primer

-Tease, Black Out
Lorac Pro Palette
-Sable, Champagne
MAC Blacktrack fluidline
