MUD Cream Mascara

Today I am bringing you another MUDdy review, this time focusing on the eyes with Cream Mascara.

A Very GaGa FOTD

Feeling the need to live up to the impeccable beauty reputation of one of my style icons, I tried to step it up artistically when I did my look for the concert. I apologize in advance since I do look a little haggard. I am not wearing foundation or tinted moisturizer, so you get to see my skin in its natural state. This was done in ten minutes in the office bathroom. Anywho, on with the show.

To read what I used, jump it!

Make Up Designory Lip Glaze

The time has come for me to once again dive headfirst into the amazing world of Make-Up Designory Cosmetics. This time, I want to introduce you all to the newest lip products, Lip Glazes in Bare and Java.

MUD is Beautiful- More Make-up Designory Eyeshadows

*We aren't talking about that kind of mud, though he does look like he is having fun.

This is more like it:

*Yep, I went there... again.

OK, so I say this a lot but... I really do love colorful eyeshadow. Having a collection of over 150 different shades, textures, and finishes, it is no small thing for me to say that a new brand (to me) has caught my eye and then captured my makeup-loving heart. Those who are longtime readers know that Make Up For Ever, Illamasqua, Smashbox, and NARS top my list, but the newest contender that has vied its way for supremacy and has come out in the top three is the Make-up Designory (MUD) cosmetics line. For a brand to stand out for this cosmetic junkie, you know it has to be something special.

Make Up Designory Cosmetics Launches You Straight Into Fall

:AHEM:
There, I got that out of my system. Considering the above statement, it is no wonder that I am so excited for fall's rich color palette. Trends are dictating that rich shades of copper, bronze, purple, and gold are it; and I cannot wait to rock the intense eyes and lips that are so indicative of dropping temperatures and falling leaves. Leave it to Make Up Designory (MUD) to capture the essence of Fall with their Fall 2009 color collection.

Many have heard the Makeup Designory, but few know that the famous MUD (Makeup Designory) school also produces an outstanding line of color cosmetics. Wide ranging, of excellent quality, and very affordable, MUD's color line is outstanding. With colors that are intense, long-wearing, silky smooth, and ultra-pigmented, MUD's offerings are a must have for color junkies. The newest launch for Fall 2009 is absolutely gorgeous, with colors that have me itching to wear them, warmer temps be darned.

Enough blabber, lets get right to the colors.

Voodoo Eyeshadow: My favorite of the lot, voodoo is an intense purple bordering on blue. I have seen this particular shade all over the Gucci ads for fall, and am so excited to rock this come September.


Bronzed Eyeshadow: Runner up for my favorite, bronzed is a stunning bright copper that packs one heck of a metallic punch.


Cajun Spice Eyeshadow- Cajun spice is bronzed's pinky/coral cousin.

Brownstone Eyeshadow- Like a warm cup of milk chocolate, brownstone is a rich deep brown, with a hint of red.


Daisy Eyeshadow- A true yellow, Daisy is the color of cornmeal, with a hint of gold. I have never seen a shadow of yellow quite like it, and would love to see how this shade plays with orange.


Pumpkin Cheek Colour- An intense orangey/coral matte with a healthy dose of pigmentation. This color IS the fall, no doubt about it.


Gingerbread Cheek Colour- A rich, warm, golden shade of brown with a light dose of shimmer. This shade would ROCK on darker skintones.

Swatches!

You can purchase the shades individually, or in palette refill form, making everything convenient and affordable. The whole fall line has my highest seal of approval.
