My sister's wedding...(Family Friday)

I won't dole out apologies and explanations as to why I haven't blogged because frankly, who cares?! HA! One of my (4) younger sisters got married back in June and of course I did her makeup. We went with a traditional 'pinup' look, except rather than a red lip I opted for a blue based, hot pink one. Enter: M.A.C. Hollywood Nights lipstick:







I think it went well with her spray tan (err...coloring? KIDDING!) and gave a bit more unconventional twist to the look. Behold, Magpie:

CONGRATULATIONS MAGGIE & TOMA!! xoxo
Happy Family Friday!

I love sleep...

I'll be honest here. I love to sleep. I could sleep 12 hours a day, EVERY day. I come by it honestly, my mom is a champion napper. That being said, as much as I love makeup I cannot possibly get up in time to do a full face like I used to when working at M.A.C. Enter: the Stila Trendsetting in Tokyo palette

I have a lot of (ahem) free time at work so occasionally when I'm bored and feel like sprucing up I'll put on my trusty Studio Fix powder and reach for this palette. The big pink color you see at the bottom of the photo doubles as a cheek color and a lip color (a little dry for my lips but meh...). I put a little color in my face and grab a 217 brush and swipe a little of the champagne color over my lid, add mascara and voila! I have a face on! Do you have quick makeup staples that you reach for consistently? In the interest of honesty, sometimes I reach for a lipstick as blush. Shoot me.
Happy Friday!
