Aqua and Purple Cut Crease using Pretty Addictions Mineral Cosmetics!

I haven't been on here in forever, I know and I'm sorry.  The chemo I've been going through has decided to make my face break out so badly, worse than when I was a teenager even, and I've just been in a slump.

Through this blog I have been able to get to know some amazing people.  I'm so grateful for people who e-mail me, even if I don't respond.  I'm sorry if I don't respond but especially on my chemo weeks, sometimes I'll glance at my e-mail on my phone but I just don't respond.  Please still know that your e-mails and comments mean so much to me.

One such girl is a blogger, whom I follow (though I've really been slacking on following blogs too), Amber, from Lipgloss and Flipflops was so so sweet and contacted me and asked if it would be ok if she sent me something to lift my spirits a bit as she lost someone close to her from cancer.  So she sent me this super sweet card and said that she was sending me some stuff from her favorite indie brand, Pretty Addictions, which is a mineral makeup line.

So here's the look I did using some products from what Amber sent me!



What I used:
TFSI
NYX JEP "Milk"
P.A. "Honesty" (Aqua)
P.A. "Passionate" (Purple)
Makeup Geek "Corrupt" (black)
Makeup Geek "White Lies" (white highlight)
MAC Blacktrack fluidline
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara

And here's how the colors (from what was called the "Birthday Collection" which was limited edition and isn't available any more, and also a blush and a cheek highlight) came packaged and swatches of all of the shadows that came in the cute little bucket!


Cute little bucket, right?

Thank you, Amber, for sending me these eyeshadows, I can't wait to play with them some more and really get to use them.  And thank you all again for hanging in there with me while I have such huge gaps in between my postings.  I hope you like this look!  Thank you guys so much for all of your encouraging words!!

  16. Awesome look! Even with chemo you can outshine most people with your amazing looks. Keep looking up - my mom battled breast cancer and she said chemo was freakin hard and trying stay positive during it was hard. But she made it thru and I know you will too! I donated to the Cancer Society and wear a daffidol (April) on my twitter pic for her and everyone battling it now. :)

It really inspired me to do something similar... So I might borrow the idea if you don't mind! You're looking great and healthy as ever! I also love the lip color you have on.
