Unfortunately, all I had was my camera phone, and it was too cold for me to get out of my car, so it's not the best shot.
BUT it is color, and it's outside, which means that according to Beth's post last week, I get EXTRA CREDIT. You know those kids who do extra credit in school even though they already have 115%? Yeah, I was that kid.
Then I came home, and I thought about color some more, and I decided to share pictures of my most very favorite makeup pieces EVER. So favorite that if you wear makeup and don't own one, you need to buy one. Now. And don't even tell me they're too expensive, because sometimes you have to splurge, right? Right. And I should note that I've bought these over the course of five years, so it's not like I just bought all nine of these yesterday.
Oh, Shimmer bricks. You're so pretty. I love you as cheek highlight and eye shadow and sometimes even on my legs. And there's a new one that I don't own. Nectar. Someone tell my husband to buy it for me for Valentine's Day!
Doesn't that look so soft and shimmery? I want to use it as a pillow. A sparkly, beautiful pillow.
Yes, I own too much makeup, but there are worse addictions!
I didn't notice my reflection in this last photo until I uploaded it, but I like it. I've felt a little fragmented lately, trying to find a balance, so this seemed appropriate.
You Capture: Color

i don't own one. but then, you know i wouldn't know what to do with it if i did. ;p
I don't own one....but it might have to be a future purchase now that I've seen yours! Oh and I really like the photo that you ended up in (multiple times!)
oh, i love shimmer bricks... and all her other makeup!
there's something satisfying about swirling a brush through all those colors, and smearing it across your face.... looking in the mirror and realizing that you don't look like a clown. :)
brilliant, i say. and nearly fool proof!
Oh goodness! I've been thinking about going in someplace to have a makeover done, but haven't because I'm afraid I'll get all excited while I'm there and they make me look pretty so I'll buy $300 worth of makeup that I'll use once, realize I can't work their magic, and then will sit in my drawer for the rest of time. Maybe I should just buy one of these instead?
Nice job with the photos...i would have never thought of makeup...but i really like it!
Great shots of your makeup! I'm going to have to check that out.
And I missed the note about extra credit for outside shots. I did include an outdoor shot in my post, but it was taken last year. Whatever, it's still outside, and the sky is as blue as blue can be!
how creative with the make-up pics!
I have never heard of them. I will have to look into that! Thanks for sharing!
I don't have any of those either...that pink one is so sparkly and pretty!
The first shot is gorgeous, even with a camera phone. The colors are great!
Can you send a link to Brian with which one he should get me for my birthday? For serious.
oh and nicely done, btw, good job on the extra credit.
Love those shots! Especially the ones where you can see you and the camera in the mirror. Really cool idea! :)
I love makeup! Those look amazing. Oh makeup guru, which one would you recommend for me (can you tell my coloring from my tiny pic?) ;)
Makeup? What's that? But I really like the last one the best.
Love the fourth picture - I'm kinda partial to pink right now. ; ) And the fragments of your reflections are really cool. I love that makeup makes you so happy! : )
Shimmer Bricks look like a fun addiction! I love the picture where your reflection is fragmented. Feel like your spreading yourself out across so many mirrors?
you have fun makeup and VERY colorful... mine is pretty boring. purples, browns, pinks... I like yours more. Oh and the pictures of them... I would never think of that. How creative!
I need to look into those shimmer bricks, they look like lots of fun.
Oh, and I was totally the extra credit kid too.....like you said, there are worse things.
I think the first picture is very unique and love it. Now I know where to go when I need eyeshadow...Girl, you have lots of colors!
Those are fun shots!
very cool idea about the makeup. And yes I agree completely about splurging for cosmetics...I'm a Bare Minerals junkie!
Um, I want that make-up. I'm kind of mad because now I feel incomplete. :)
I love the "fragmented" photo most of all. I'm in a very different situation but feeling fragmented nonetheless and I love the way you worded that. Interestingly-caught reflection photos are some of my favorites!
Makeup! Great idea! I love the last photo where your image is in each mirror. Very cool.
Beautiful!
That last photo is absolutely beautiful.
I like the last photo too. Although you feel a little fragmented lately, don't forget that there is no one more 'centered' than you. You Rock!
The women at Nordstroms thank you for this post. This morning I went right out and I bought a "bronze" shimmer brick and some Dior concealer (the Laura Mercier one creased on me---booo)! and *I* want to thank you because now I not only look human again but I feel pretty too! Very much worth the splurge.
I like the last one too... I know that feeling well.
Make-up. Pure genious!
I think the last picture is fab. And I totally get that fragmented feeling. Hope you feel back in one piece soon.
Great pictures!! I love your new bog design:)
I own THREE Shimmer Bricks thanks to you!!!! I love them. As in, I use one EVERYDAY!
Fabulous! I especially love the last one!
I have a love affair with make up as well, and own far too much. Half of which I just try on at home but never dear to wear out (like my red liquid eyeliner).
Those close-ups of the makeup are so pretty! =)
