Call me kooky but this image spoke to me, I guess internally I’m weeping or something. All I am saying is when deftly applied by a true makeup genius, makeup has the ability to turn into ART!

That’s my deep thought for the week.

New M.A.C. Makeup - Check out the new shades of eyeshadow, 80’s glam rock is back!

Avon’s Mark Makeup - Learn how to pack lightly for Summer getaways and discover great deals for Avon’s Mark cosmetic line.

Healthy Hair Tips - Learn ways to get the deep salon conditioning treatment at home.

Do’s & Don’ts - Is the Unibrow ever okay?

So you notice that the 80’s are back in full swing, influencing everything from hyper colored clothing to hairstyles to makeup. As long as it doesn’t come back in full “Working Girl/Valley Girl” force, I can deal. I don’t think I could live through another era of football esque shoulder pads.

Well I actually like these new mineralized eye shadows from M.A.C. makeup, they are not as garish as they look. They are two mineralized eye shadows in one large compact. One shade features a mélange of three shades, the other provides a complementary or contrasting solid shade. They provide this pearlized finish that is very pretty when used sparingly or at certain points of the eye (highlight by the brow line, or right along the lash line) but if you put too much it can be overwhelming. (Translation: you will look like Mimi from Drew Carey Show)

Anyhow the color is very build able so I leave it to your discretion and taste level… have fun!
