I do love a limited edition collection! This collection was kinda disappointing, not for the results but the many coats it took. I applied 7 coats to get it this thick. 1 coat would be good for a top layer on top of another color, but alone...

Anti-Valentine's Day Makeup


Happy Valentine's Day! Well, a couple  weeks later...oops?

This was a look I threw together for the anti valentines day dinner I went to with the girls. A lot of bad lighting ( it was night time ) and an iphone camera. I need to buy a replacement charger for my cybershot, stat. 

While, I had a list of products used - it went POOF! Most products are Urban Decay and Makeup Forever.
