Have you used one of the Tutorial Tuesdays from this website?  I would love to see it!

Next time you do one of the tutorials, whether it’s Rainbow Eyes, Watermelon Eyes, or the Lemon Lime look, take some pictures.  Then you could get your picture up on one of my posts.

Of course, I’ll cite your name with the picture and everything.  If you have your own blog, I can link to it as well.

I’m going on a mini vacation starting tomorrow.  I’ll be soaking up the sun at a lake – with cabins and everything!

The picture to the right isn’t of where I’m going, but I’m betting it’s similar.

What does this mean for you?  Well, I won’t be around like I normally am.  I’ll be gone from Thursday to Sunday, so I won’t be available during that time.

Although I won’t be here, there may be a few surprises and posts coming y’all’s way.  Stay tuned to the blog.  You never know what will happen while I’m gone.

Keep pretty!

If you live in the United States, you are no doubt celebrating Independence Day.  Even if you aren’t in the states, maybe you’re celebrating something else.

So, have fun with this great holiday!

I hope you’re off eating great food (barbecue!) and having fun with friends and family.  Oh, and don’t forget to watch a whole mess of fireworks.

Have fun and be cute for me!

I finally got my first MAC Cosmetics stash.  First stash.  I did have one item from MAC, but that doesn’t really count as a stash, now does it?

After purchasing a wealth of products during last week’s MAC sale, I finally got my makeup yesterday.  I waited all day long and UPS finally showed up at 7PM.  That’s pretty late!

But I finally got it and am oh-so-excited.  I thought I would take a picture for everyone and tell you what I got.  Here it is:

UPDATE: This sale is now extended an extra day, so it ends Tuesday June 16, 2008 instead of today, Monday.

As you’ll recall, I was asking for help in choosing the right MAC makeup last week. Here’s why:

If you’re like me, you don’t live by a MAC Cosmetics store. Because of this, you’ll need to do your shopping online.

Luckily, there’s a sale today just for such an occasion! It’s called the Friends and Family Discount, which is 15% off on all online orders. This is just for today (6/16/08), though. So get your butts on over there. Things are already selling out!

If you pay attention to the Beauty Blogosphere at all, then you know about the MAC sale going on right now. With a certain coupon, you can get 15% discount at any of the MAC stores (not including MAC counters at department stores.)

Boooo. I don’t live in an area with a MAC store. Not even a counter.

Luckily, they’re also going to be having the same deal for online orders Monday only. Yay! Now that’s something I can get behind.

Confession: I only own one thing from MAC, and it was given to me. It’s a pigment pot, Blue Brown.

Christine over at Temptalia.com is having a Blue Eyes Challenge. Basically, she’s challenging everyone to get brave and wear blue eye makeup. After all, blue is one of the hardest colors to pull off. Many people avoid it all together.

Instead of avoiding blue, she encourages her readers to just go ahead and do it. After all, you can always wash it off if it doesn’t look good. Don’t be afraid of blue!

And, of course, I took the challenge.

You can visit her blog to see me and several others taking the challenge. You should try it, too! Although she posted our pictures, she’s still looking for brave souls for the rest of the month. Try it out!

Or at the very least, go over there are check it out.

There are so many movies out right now that I want to see, and I don’t know anyone who wants to see them. Instead of waiting to rent the movies, I’m just going to see them by myself. I’m hoping to see all of these in the next few weeks.

Here’s what I’m seeing today: Iron Man! I’m gonna get some hot Robert Downey Jr. action!

So, what did I decide to look like for my very own self-date?

Recently, BellaSugar had a post about makeup organization: What Is Your Makeup Organizing Method? They showed how they organize their makeup, and boy! They sure have a lot!

As I sit here eating a bagel with tofu cream cheese (tofu!), I was inspired by this, so I thought I’d show everyone my makeup setup.
