I must warn...for the quads, I used a primer and the 214 brush and layered the shadows 2-3 times to achieve the color, they only color that swatched well the first time from the quads was hazy day...

MAC Me Over Swatches

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I have been doing 60 hour work weeks and haven't had time to post BUT, I did get some swatches for you guys today. My favorite MAC store is doing a presale/preview of the MAC Me Over Collection and I have some swatches of some items that the bloggers didn't have. Enjoy.

Houses of Hogwarts: Slytherin

The final house but definitely not last is Slytherin. It's MY house! (if you couldn't tell). Slytherin's colors are green and silver and their mascot is the serpent. I love Slytherin, the house totally has a bad rap, but I do understand why...I the nail pics for this came out good enough and good thing because I am still wearing it but it is chipping a bit at the corners.

Houses of Hogwarts: Gryffindor (Using Semi-Precious MES)

Next up is Gryffindor! Not my favorite house because I am saving the best for last, lol. If you can't tell, Slytherin is the BEST. Anyway. yes, Gryffindor is up. I didn't go as red as I would have liked with this look, but oh well...I can always do it another time, especially since I have to re-take the nail pics, the gold Konad stamping polish barely showed up in the pictures. Gryffindor's colors are red and gold. I decided to use more colors that I got from the Semi-Precious collection, which are Golden gaze and Smoked Ruby. This was another quick look because I work it to work(and wore my shirt with Harry on it, surprisingly one of my co-workers got it, lol). Thank Ok, enough with this, on with the look...

Houses of Hogwarts: Ravenclaw (Using Semi-Precious MES)

Next up for the houses of Hogwarts is Ravenclaw. I actually like Ravenclaw, they are intellectuals and a love smart people, hell, I find nerdy and geeky guys absolutely adorable...but that could be because I am that way myself. Hermoine was close to being a Ravenclaw but she is very brave and strong, so I see why they sorting hat placed her in Gryffindor. Ravenclaw's colors are Blue and Bronze (the movies changed it to Blue and Silver for some odd reason *shrugs*) and their mascot is the Eagle, not the raven as one might think due to the misleading name. I used two eyeshadows from MAC's Semi-Precious collection since I just spent a but load of money on that collection (Shh...don't tell my boyfriend, he'd kill me).

Houses of Hogwarts: Hufflepuff

Ok, so...I'm a geek, LOL. I LOVE the Harry Potter book series, I don't know if I can say the same for all of the movies, no, I can't. I HATE some of the movies, probably the majority of them. So, I have kinda failed on this because I meant to start posting these once a week for the weeks coming up to the final movie, but as you can see I waited until the last week. I am starting the series of with Hufflepuff, probably my least favorite house because they are so blah...LOL. The looks I did were pretty quick because I actually wore them to work, so they aren't outlandish or anything, they just incorporate each houses color. Hufflepuff's colors are yellow and black, so those are the only two colors I used for this eye look...oh and a quick nail too(as always I took the pic before cleaning them up and moisturizing my cuticles :( please don't judge, lol)

Red Soldier Look using Sugarpill, MUFE and MAC Smoked Ruby

So, I went to the club Friday night and did a look using my red based eyeshadows(not enough companies make true reds!).  Most people may not dig the look because it isn't for everybody, to clarify, I go to goth and industrial clubs and in this case I was going to an industrial club out here in L.A. called Das Bunker, it is very well known and is the longest running industrial club in the US. I decided to put on my red and black soldier outfit, I don't know why, but I think it has to do with it being a little more than a year since the passing of my grandfather to whom I was very attached. Anyhow, I will go on and show you the look and this time there are three different full face pictures, I was having a little too much fun with this look and trying to photograph it.
