I asked the MUA for a smokey look when I went for my COC appointment and she basically gave me the Cherry Blossom MAC face chart! lol At first I didn't like it - I'm not used to smokey eyes but it was actually really nice! It was wearable during the day and I didn't need to do anything to switch it to a night look! =]
I asked her to color match me too because I've never been color matched at MAC. I'm skeptical about their foundations though because I've heard that they make you break out and I'm really prone to break out when I try new foundations. So far mineral foundation has worked for me but the powder is so messy. She suggested the Mineralize Satinfinish. I'm skeptical about liquid foundation too because my t-zone gets SUUPER oily as the day goes by especially since its 90+ degrees here all the time. But suprisingly, the foundation wasn't that bad. I kind of itched a little and I did feel like my face melted a little at the end of the day, but my t-zone wasn't as oily as I thought it would be. I'm still not sure if I should actually buy it though. Maybe in the winter when it's a lot colder and my face tends to get drier. I can't believe I'm an NC45! haha I'm so dark ohwell it really matched my skin well though.
The MUA was really helpful - I know it's their job - but she was sweet and I asked her soo many questions lol. She showed me how to use the matte blush in Strada to contour my face, I looooved it! I've been trying to contour but it doesn't come out right LOL

Cult of Cherry FOTD
Cult of Cherry Haul + Swatches =]
I'm just doing a quick one before I go to work!! I really shouldn't be but here's my COC haul! They actually did a full face for me too - can you believe I've never asked for one before with all the money I've spent already? lol I'm going out tonight so I asked her to do a smokey eye and she used the Spiced Chocolate quad. I'll post pictures of that FOTD later but here's my haul for now!
L to R: blush in Strada [not from COC] & Blooming. Spiced Chocolate quad, L/S in Creme Cerise, L/S in Lightly Ripe, L/G in Cherry Blossom, & Zoomlash in zoomblack.
lippies!
I spent only $105 because I got the 2 L/S for free for B2M! Too bad the counter at my Dillard's store doesn't do B2M for L/G too! I was expecting to spend that much but then I didn't really want the quads because I was planning to get some pigments from the Overrich collection but the only one I really liked was Antique Green and I really don't use my pigments so I passed. The MUA had me sold on the zoomlash cause it made my lashes look sooo fake! haha love it Well gotta go!
