This pic is from last winter.
I was asked to take it because I was assigned as a temporary mentor during the holiday season.
Fortunately for me, I go to work with good makeup just about everyday. (smiles)
This was before my "extreme highlight" phase.
I used
MUFE HD foundation
NARS Albatross Highlight
MAC Ripe Peach and NARS Taj Mahal blush.
On my lips I am wearing MUFE #39 and Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds lipgloss in Marquise Peach!
Neutral Everyday eyeshadow.

Lips Of The Day Featuring MAC Lavender Whip from Baked Beauties Collection
I was a remorseful skipper of MAC's 2008 Limited Edition release of Lavender Whip.
The skipping fuelled a quest for limited edition lippies ever since. I was excited to see this re-promoted in the Baking Beauties Collection. MAC tweaked the color to make it more universally flattering. I think the new color is very wearable. I still want the old one though.
My lips were stained with Make Up For Ever #15.
I'd eaten lunch. The first application also included Lip Liner. However for this pic, I just layered two swipes of Lavender Whip all over my lips.
The only thing about these kinds of shades is they make your teeth look yellow. UGH!
Lavender Whip retails for $15 US.
Cremesheen is not one of my favorite formulations because one needs to layer it several times to get the full on color. It does not last more than an hour and a half on my lips.

Minty Eyeshadow

Lips of the Day (LOTD) and Best Twistout EVER!
I wasn't happy with the angle of this pic. But the sunlight was IDEAL!
This was my first time ever using foundation all over my face including my eyelids.
I just did a quick tiny winged liner, with a bold lip.
I'm wearing Rock & Republic XRATED Contrived Powder Blush on my cheeks. *this was a gift
The star of the show is Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense #36. I was thrilled to see it was still pretty intense even after I'd eaten my lunch. IMPRESSIVE!
Line - NK Auto Liner BERRY
Fill - Amuse Lip Liner SEXY PINK
Top - MUFE #36
As you can see, I was all matchy matchy with the scarf. I just can't help myself.
I did receive a lot of compliments.
I loved how my hair turned out that day, although you can't see it well in the picture. The definition was awesome!
Do you own any of the MUFE Rouge Artist Intense Lipsticks? Which are your favorite colors?

Lips of the Day Featuring Viva Glam Nicki 2 Lipstick
This beautiful light lavender is an Amplified. This is my favorite formula of lipstick from MAC Cosmetics.
100% of the proceeds from the sale of this lipstick goes to help men women and children living with AIDS.
I do not plan to purchase the gloss because it looks too milky to me. I prefer to top mine with Revlon Lilac Pastelle Lipgloss.
I am wearing this over Make Up For Ever #15.
It is topped with MAC Cosmetics GOLDYROCKS Dazzleglass.
Have you purchased this yet?
With what liner would you pair it?

May Favorites
HAIR
I have been sporting Short Human Hair Wigs.
They are no fuss, tangle free and give me the edgy looks that I prefer.
I gravitated more towards my Beshe HH Vega shorty do. Love it!
SKIN CARE
For my face, I have been using my Microfiber Washcloths daily. The Neutrogena Naturals line was my most used product for this Month. With the increase in temperatures, I am finding I do not need to moisturize overnight daily. Every other night works best for me. For my body, I have been using and loving the St. Ives Deep Restoring 24 Hr. Moisturizing Lotion. I am disappointed because when I read the ingredient list, I found parabens. My Holy Grail Moisturizer is Korres Body Butter! It's very pricey though. I am still on the hunt for a drugstore alternative.
FACE
I have been working to perfect the application of the MAC MatchMaster. I don't like to be defeated by anything. I also hate wasting money. My investment just has to pay off. I have been experimenting with different application methods...fingers, damp brush, damp sponge, less product. I think I finally settled on mixing the 7.0 with the 7.5 for the best results. It does last all day, but I am concerned that the effect looks like foundation. That typically is not the result I'm looking for. Although I reached for this foundation most often, my favorite remains the NARS Sheer Glow in MACAO.
EYES
I have been wearing very little eyeshadow if any for this month.
It seems quicker to get out of the house in a hurry with just Wet N Wild H20 Liquid Liner
and Urban Decay 24/7 Zero.
If I wanted a pop of color, I opted for a L'Oreal HIP Crayon set with matching eyeshadow.
CHEEKS
I have been loving Orange and Coral Cheeks.
I reached for MAC Ripe Peach, Milani MAI TAI, NARS Exhibit A and Taj Mahal most of all.
LIPS
I have been loving all things Orange, and Coral.
I sported
Revlon Siren, MUFE #40, and MAC So Chaud along with MAC Morange Lip Gloss.
ACCESSORIES
My go to earrings this month have been from a seller on etsy named Angel.
Her store is called LoveliiYou
I purchased three pairs of her fabric stud earrings. I find them to be simple and classy. They have been the perfect accent to complete my outfits. I plan on making more purchases. Look for a full review as well as a collection post in June.
Did you have some of the same favorites in May as I did?
Please share your faves in the comment section.

Oddly enough, my new pink feather earrings match my
Make Up For Ever #36 lipstick. I toned it down a little
with NK Auto Liner in BERRY as well as
