LOTD

This is a look I wore to work sometime last week. I'm not used to wearing winged liner and ended up rubbing most of the wing off of my left eye. Thankfully I have side bangs so I was able to cover it lol.




I think the lid was Naked Lunch by MAC, the crease was just a color from Coastal Scents 88 matte palette, with L'Oreal's Lineur Intense for liner.

Ulta haul is coming up soon!

MAC Sweet Eyes vs Shroom

I was on a search for a dupe for Sweet Eyes, the champagne shadow from MAC's Devoted Poppy palette, ever since the growing dip in it became too large to ignore. It is my favorite all over lid color, and I didn't know what I would do without it upon using it all up. So I had stopped using it. And seeing as it's the only color I ever use from the palette I could never justify repurchasing the whole thing. But finally, last month, I found the perfect dupe! It's MAC's Shroom, which is another gorgeous all over lid color. See for yourself!


Side-by-side

Swatched

They aren't identical, but are very close. Sweet Eyes is a bit more pink toned, but both are super soft, lightly shimmery, silvery taupe-champagne colors. They are both satin finishes.

Hope this helps with someone else's hunt for a Sweet Eyes dupe, if there are any of you out there. ;)

A new beginning

I haven't updated my blog in so long! The main reason for my absenteeism is because I went through a hard breakup with my boyfriend in April, and I had the intentions of giving back my camera (the one all the pictures on the blog were taken with) he gave me for Christmas. In the end I still have the camera because of him not speaking to me, etc. etc. Also, I work full time with an hour commute one way. When I get home the last thing on my mind is taking out my camera and getting it to focus (it's a chore).

BUT--I still have the intention of keeping this blog. It's not going anywhere, as long as I am still OBSESSED with makeup and beauty (and I am!) then this blog is staying around. I did change my name, however. I was tired of butters1984, so changed it to Butters Beauty. It sounds more professional, I think.

What to expect for future posts? I would absolutely love to start doing more faces of the day. I'm a working girl so that means every day is a new day to play around with my makeup. Also, I have been hauling like...I dunno...a dump truck. Haha. :-/ Seriously though, my MAC collection has gone from practically non-existent to an almost full palette, not to mention I now have some MAC brushes now.

So hopefully in the next few months Butters Beauty will start picking up some speed. When I get 50 or 100 followers I am having a giveaway. Planning ahead, it will be full of my own personal favorite makeup items, so you know I will do it right. I have to get that many subscribers, so watch out for more hauls, more faces of the day, more reviews, and more posts!
