Ancient Egyptian Series: Osiris

So, in my Ancient Egyptian inspired series, I decided to go with Osiris. He is one of my favorite Gods of the Ancient Egyptian pantheon (I have him tattooed on my arm and had named my cat after him!) Osiris was married to Isis and was the father of Horus (and Anubis, but that's a looooong story). Osiris was killed by his brother Set and lived in the underworld and was the God of the dead. If you have ever seen depictions of the weighing/judging of the heart, you then saw Osiris presiding over it and passing judgement on the deceased.

Ancient Egyptian Series

So, I have decided to start a series based off of Ancient Egyptian Gods, Goddesses, icons, symbols, etc. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to do such a series because ever since I was a little child I was obsessed with the Ancient Egyptian culture and mythology. I will not try to make looks exactly like the hieroglyphs, statues or artwork but instead the looks will be inspired by whomever and whatever I am choosing at that moment. 

So, without further ado, we shall start the series. I am going to start with Isis.

Isis was considered the patron saint of women, mothers and children. She was also a goddess of magic. Isis is also a moon goddess, yet gives birth to the sun, creates and sustains all life. She is wife to Osiris and mother to Horus. I could go on and on, but you could look her up.

Here is the look that I came up with for her, nothing too elaborate:

My Belated Valentine's Day Look

I am posting my Valentine's Day look a bit early because my boyfriend and I didn't get a chance to go out until yesterday. I did a orange type look. So, here it goes.

Product Review for up & up Makeup Remover

The up & up Makeup Remover is an oil free product. I was skeptical about that at first because if you look at it, the product is a solution (I don't remember chemistry, maybe it's not a solution, lol), water and the other ingredients that it is made up of, and they are basically separated, an example of this would be putting oil in a glass and putting water in it, the two would not mix and would be separate layers. Well, this is what it looks like in the bottle. To use the product, you shake the bottle to allow the to halves to temporarily mix, they use the term activating, then with a clean cotton ball or pad, you close your eyes and remove the makeup.

Brazen and Bronzed Look

So, I did a brass and bronze look yesterday well, not on me on my friend because she was going out (again, lol), but here's how it turned out:

Carshow Time - Look with neutrals

A view without my glasses, this one actually allows you to see the Blue Brown pigment better.

Purrr-ple: Look done with purples

I did this for a friend because she was going out for a party and asked and I obliged.

This is the first close up shot, sorry, she was standing at an angle so it's not dead on.

Blue Moon: Look done with pretty blues

This is the look I wore while being out and about today.

Back to Mac Program

I figured I would touch on the Back to M.A.C. program because people have a lot of questions about it and I even had one and got mixed answers until I called and went into the stores.

For those that do not know about it, the B2M program is something that M.A.C. has been doing for a good while now. I think that this is a great program because not only does it help encourage people to recycle, it helps the environment AND you get something for free. I mean, what more could you want.

Anyhow, the program works like this: If you take six (6) empty primary packages (and I'm not talking about the boxes, it's the plastic and glass packaging that the product is in) then you can get a free lipstick.
