Blues and Greens with MAC Art Supplies and MAC Trip
Howzit, holmes? Hasn’t this felt like a long week? I woke up this morning feeling very (see picture above).
Because a little color always helps, I reached for the MAC Trip Cool Eyes Palette and a few things from MAC Art Supplies, as well as Benefit’s permanent collection and a Lancome mascara.
In a little while I was feeling 100% better and kinda like this…

A Rose in the Heart of the City: Meet Chloe Eau de Parfum
A friend of mine used to have an apartment in please-don’t-call-it-‘Frisco with the most amazing, magical flower garden. Hidden from the street, it was in the center of the building on the ground floor, and all of the apartments overlooked it. Each time she’d open a window, a rainbow of beautiful floral fragrances would waft up from the garden and blow right into her living room.
Chloe’s floral Eau de Parfum ($85) reminds me a lot of that apartment, to that time in my life when my heart pumped to the beat of the city, and I’ve been wearing it practically nonstop for days!
As a matter of fact, I’m even wearing it to bed. 🙂
Do You Have a Favorite Place To Do Your Makeup?
Classy…
I love the look of fancy vanities and dressing tables, but truth be told I prefer to park my booty on the floor in my office upstairs (aka Tabs’ room). There’s a big mirror propped up against an old desk beside which I keep my brushes and the products I’m currently using.
Comfy…
Do you have a favorite place to do your makeup? Is it in the bathroom? Bedroom? Or on the train to work? 🙂
Here’s an idea for simple, affordable makeup storage perfectly suited for bedroom floors…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

The Castro Theater
I’ve always liked the front of San Francisco’s historic Castro Theater.
A Rose by Any Other Name…
I just LOVE the vibrant color! 🙂 Brings an instant smile to my face.
A Little Bit of Rock N’ Roll with MAC Art Supplies
Every day this week I’ve been hitting the ground running (on a treadmill, that is). We’ll see how long it lasts, but I’ve been going for a run first thing in the mornings. Fittingly, the first song on my iPod’s workout playlist today was Motley Crue’s Home Sweet Home, and it FIRED ME UP! — so much so that I felt like rock n’ rolling into some pink and purple makeup for my face of the day.
I used a couple of items from MAC’s permanent line along with an Estee Lauder Michael Kors blush and two things from the new MAC Art Supplies collection (Pro Longwear Lipstain in Stylesetter, and Pearglide Liner in Designer Purple).
Drop me a line in the comments if you’d like to see a tutorial of this look.
Eyes: MAC Eyeshadow in Ricepaper (entire eye), MAC Pigment in Pink Pearl (lid), MAC Pearlglide liner in Designer Purple (lashlines), MAC Technakohl in Graphblack (waterlines), MAC Studio Fix lash (lashes); Cheeks: Estee Lauder Michael Kors Blush in Sunset Pink (apples), Benefit Hoola (contour beneath apples); Lips: MAC Pro Longwear Lipstain in Stylesetter, MAC Cremesheen Glass in Petite Indulgence
