Recovering for 2012

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I definitely did a little overindulging over the break but it was so worth it. I spent my time with family, friends, and the love of my life, Tubby! I mean, you try to resist MY grandma's cooking. Just try. I dare ya! So time to get back on track. I've been working on replenishing my thirsty skin by drinking gallons of water and practically bathing in Complete Comfort Creme by MAC. I swear by this stuff on a regular basis but especially during times when I know my skin is parched. Try it! And I guarantee you and your skin will thank me. At the very least, be sure to be extra diligent about your current moisturising routine during this time of need...




And onto another topic of um, concern... It's no secret that I get a good amount of gratis working for MAC. OK, A MAJOR amount! It's definitely a perk and one of the many reasons why I LOVE my job. The latest collection, METAL-X is blowing my mind. I rarely, if at all buy makeup but I just HAD to get my hands on a few of the beauties from this collection. In particular, I am loving "Rusty" and "Red Hot Copper." While none of the shades are appropriate for usage on the lips, they are safe to be used anywhere else on the face/body. I used "Red Hot Copper" as my blush shade today and got several compliments on the color. It resembled a warm, pinkish flush. The formula has been revamped from a previous launch so that it blends beautifully, never creases, and can be built up for a super cool high-color/chrome effect payoff.




Anyhoo... I feel great things are in store for 2012. I've made a few resolutions for myself. With my 30th birthday looming around the corner, it's hard not to reevaluate a few things. But overall, I hope to continue making my life more beautiful through making others look and feel their best!
