Rachel Roy Shoes - Fawn

Yes, there is still snow on the ground here in Germany but that doesn't mean I can't prep for some better weather moments.  I'm really hoping that I actually get to wear these in the next couple of months because I love them and I miss wearing sandals.  

Recently Piperlime had a 20% off sale (I think it was 20?) and I decided that these were must haves.  I love that they are so different and while I usually don't go for white shoes, the tan and black made up for it so I splurged! These shoes have a 4.5 inch heel with leather lining and leather outsole.  The upper is also leather.  I purchased a size 5 and they are slightly big (very slight) so I would recommend getting your exact size.

MAC Archie's Girls Collection

 

I know I'm a MAC addict and all but MAC has been putting out some really amazing collections lately and I have been totally impressed.  This Archie's Girl collection is so cute.  I picked up two lipsticks and a lipglass from the Veronica portion of the collection and I love them.  They are very "dupeable" (like other lipsticks I have or have tried) but I still think they are worth the buy.

Photo Shoot Fresh!

A few days ago, I had the amazing opportunity to do a photoshoot with an awesome photogapher here in Germany.  I was a little under the weather but there was no way I could cancel on this!  I took some Dayquil, grabbed my throat lozenges, my Zuca and I hurried out into the snow!  I'm planning on launching my online portfolio soon so I thought I would share some of the photos with you guys since the site isn't up yet.  Hope you like it!

I absolutely loved working with Maria and you can check out her photography page here.  Daniella (the first model shown) also has a photography business and takes amazing pictures.  Both of the models are absolutely gorgeous and I loved doing their makeup!  Maria also convinced me to step in front of the camera and here is a picture!

MAC Pressed Pigment - Amethyst

This is going to be my last pressed pigment purchase for a while!  I think that I finally have all of the colors that I want and I'm a little on pressed pigment overload.  I picked this one up because I love purple eyeshadow in general and I really wanted to see how this one would translate by itself and over some of my deeper purple shades.

Another gorgeous color!  Although it is a little icier (paler) than I expected it to be.  

Thanks for stopping by!  I'm off to go swatch my Archie Girls lipsticks.  Have an awesome day.

 

MAC Pressed Pigment - Blue Willow

 

This icy blue color is giving me my 80's life right now!  I'm so obsessed with this shade and cannot wait to create some looks with it.  I think this would be absolutely gorgeous on really fair skin ladies as well as darker skin.  It is just one of those colors that I normally wouldn't gravitate towards but for some reason I had to have it and am absolutely enamored by it.

It's like a silvery/icy blue slice of greatness.  Also, this is one of the smoother Pressed Pigments that I've tried.  I absolutely love this shade and I wish I purchased it sooner.

MAC Pressed Pigment - Spot Lit

Yes, I purchased another one and isn't she gorgeous.  I absolutely love her.  Now Day Gleam is still my favorite but since I dropped it, and shattered it into a billion glittery pieces, this is slowly taking her place.

I do think this one is a little smoother than Day Gleam is and it is close enough in color that it gives a similar effect when applied.  I use all of my pressed pigments over other colors so I could have skipped this shade.   However, being the makeup hoarder that I am, I needed both! 

I have a couple other colors to show you guys in the next few days!  Stay Tuned for Blue Willow and Amethyst!
