Snow, when it is pristine and clean, is very pretty to look at. It catches the light and shimmers away. However, there is one big problem: it's bloody cold. It also will get you wet and it can be quite the inconvenience. Blech! Can't we just have the pretty look without the mess?

My cosmetic-loving brain,. of course, immediately thought of eyeshadow. Hmmm. What the heck, I'll go with it! May I direct your attention to Make Up For Ever's white diamond shadow, shade 301?

One of my favourite red lipsticks, simply because I adore the formula and colour both:

Every time I wear one of my MUFE reds (I also have 205), I marvel at how long it wears, and how it doesn't dry out my lips! This here is a single coat - totally opaque and lovely with its slightly glossy finish. Love it!

This post brought to you in part by a reader request. I'm working on another one that should hopefully come your way soon, and am totally up for more if you want to throw them at me!

My favourite things of late that I just can't get enough of! Exciting? Not really, but versatile - whoa baby!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a super awesome weekend. I'm still sceptical you all aren't sick of looking at smears of purple on my arm, but since you said to keep going... I will! Today are various non-MAC pressed purple shadow swatches (and one glitter liner!).

Here you are looking at Urban Decay Deluxe shadows in Fishnet and Ransom, and the purple from Smashbox's Celebrita quad.

Just a quick post as I'm still nursing a hangover. My head and teeth are killing me. But just to say that Head On stuff that you rub on your forehead, actually works pretty good. Alright now on to the swatches.

Here is my tiny collection of liners from Make Up For Ever. The first 3 are Aqua lip and the last one is Aqua Eye. But I use them on my lips and eyes as they said it was ok and Makeup Forever is famous for multi use products. 8C is a true red, 18C is a bright coral with a hint of pink and 16C is a bright fuchsia. My only Aqua eye is 10L which is a metallic bronze. I love all these as they are insanely water proof and last all day till I need to remove them. Very creamy and easy to blend as well.

I asked my boyfriend to pick me up 2 more while he's in the states for work. Hopefully he brings me home 3L which is a iridescent navy and 17L which is a pistachio green.

My MUFE shadow collection is small, but beloved. I have a ten pan palette with these all lovingly tucked inside, and felt I ought to share my babies with you.

I knew that I wanted to finally get my hands on this brand for awhile but we don't have anyone that sells it where I live so I had to wait till we took a vacation to visit his family in Quebec. So when our summer vacation came up I made a list of wants from MUFE and on that long and extensive list there was these 5 shadows. I'm sure you all heard of the Makeup Forever number 92 (matte brilliant purple)...Well it is even better then people say it is. It's my new favorite purple. And trust me if you love purple and you don't have the 92, then your collection is not complete.

I also couldn't wait to get my hands on the 75 (bright fuschia pink), I can't get enough of bright pinks and this one totally delivers. I don't own anything close to 5 (matte vibrant coral) this one is such a unique color. I was also searching for a matte yellow and a matte red and found the 2 (matte brilliant yellow) and the 158 (Matte Cold Red). Both are so pigemented like the others, I'm in eyeshadow heaven with my tiny collection of MUFE. Trust me it will grow quickly. Now on to the swatches.

It seems like one of the hardest things to find in makeup is a good red eyeshadow. Now, there are a few reasons for this, I know them and get it, but I thought I'd share swatches of a few of my reds. I don't know about you, but I really like red eyeshadow. Keep in mind a little goes a long way, but it can be so pretty!
