Looks Using New MAC Acquisitions (and Some Birthday pics)

So I said I would be busy this weekend for my son's birthday party. He loved Star Wars so we did a Star Wars themed party. Everybody loved it.


Darth Vader was an obvious hit


So was Princess Leia




The pinata


Face-painting


Water balloon games


Sponge game


sack races


And of course, the cake

Sorry to digress! Anyways, I was able to use some of my new MAC products, and I particularly love Soft and Gentle MSF. I compared it to Shimpagne and, though I love both, I think the warmer tones of Soft and Gentle complemented my skin better. In both looks, I used Inter-View mineralize eyeshadow; I used the dark brown shade for the crease. In both instances as well, I used my new favorite dazzleglass, Baby Sparks. I am soooo in love with the dazzleglasses. I wasn't able to get the other ones this weekend for lack of time. Here's some great news, though: you can Back-2-MAC for dazzleglasses at your local MAC free-standing store! That is, you can exchange six empties for any one of the dazzleglasses at any MAC free-standing store. That news made my day last Thursday, because dazzleglasses are more expensive than lipglasses, so it's like I got more value for my empties when I exchanged them for dazzleglasses.

Hi!

I came across your blog when I was reading about Meow makeup. I'd like to ask you, which breed is more golden, Manx or Abyssinian? I have tried Meow, but I mixed the wrong colors so it doesn't match me anymore. :[

By the way, the Star Wars theme is totally awesome. Your son is adorable! :]

Mhean- DS also loves Backyardigans! I can just imagine how crazy party-planning is for two rambunctious kids! Thanks sis. :)

phyrra- yes, my son enjoyed it a lot and I guess that's what matters most. =D

marisa- Manx is definitely more "yellow", while to my eyes, Abyssinian is a mix of gold and beige (olive) tones. Hope that helps!
