Outfit post next time, promise

Every time I want to post, I want it to be a fantastic, inspired outfit. One where I'm wearing the highest of heels, the perfect amount of accessories and the setting is spectacular. Yes, an outfit post excites me and well, I am an artist when it comes to fashion/style. I am my own canvas and my closet is my palette. That all being said, I'm writing about makeup. Yup. My face is my canvas as well. I don't have a collection to brag about. I purchased a lot from MAC awhile back and has held me over ever since. With the exceptions of mascara and the like. It can be hard to be creative in that department when you're in a rush or even too tired, but I've found something that might help! It can easily be transformed into something very clean and refined. It displays makeup well and even if it's not your cup of tea to put makeup on display, this can be used for lots of other stuff! I also found out how to depot a MAC eyeshadow. Might seem odd, but if you're close to being done with an eyeshadow you may as well depot it. I did this solely so I could bring my six empty containers to MAC! I love that they recycle them and give you a free product for doing so. I'm a recycle nut so this is the best of both worlds!

Add a little something

Thank you.

This has been quite a year for me. It was filled with LOTS of change, both great and heart breaking, some loss and some gain. I was lucky to get that push into blogging more, therefore documenting this year in a different and creative way for me. I attended more events than ever before and that was something I always loved doing! I met so many great people through twitter, blogging and retail. I shared some great times with great people. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone in my life right now. I am very lucky to have you! I can only hope, have an open heart and mind for better things in the new year! 

Eye-Fi & new camera

 If you've been reading my blog, you know very well that I have been without camera for sometime now. I had a wonderful camera, it was a gift, and I was sad to see it go. I needed/wanted a new one and after some research and looking down at my basket filled with makeup at Sephora, which I put back, I went for a new camera! My best friend, the most tech savvy person I know, bought me Eye-Fi for Christmas to go with my new camera. If you don't know what it is, just be happy I'm introducing you to it. It is a memory card with Wi-Fi built into it. Let's say I'm out taking pictures; I come home, turn on the camera and my computer and my pics are automatically uploaded onto the computer!! It's genius and amazing. 

Nothing like it.

Was away last week. Christmas with my Mother.
