Look using: MAC Caviar Dreams e/s Quad

When the MAC Cham-Pale collection was released back in 2010, I was very excited.
The entire collection was pretty much pale, neutral colors (right up my alley).
I'm pretty new to MAC, so at the time I didn't own any of the eyeshadows.
I picked up the Caviar Dreams eyeshadow quad, which consisted of:
 Brule: soft creamy beige, Satin finish & is permanent
Retrospeck: beached blonde, Lustre finish & is permanent
Et tu, Bouquet?: frosted pale pink, Frost finish & is a repromote
Caviar Dreams: dirty frosted pewter, Lustre finish & limited edition

 I did a look using this quad a while back & managed to snap some pics of it.

-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (from lashline up to browbone)
-Retrospeck e/s (all over eye lid)
-Caviar Dreams e/s (crease)
-Brule e/s (highlight)
-Et tu, bouquet? e/s (inner corner & smudged on lower lashline)
-Maybelline EyeStudio gel liner in Blackest Black (upper lashline)
-MAC Chromagraphic Pencil NW25/NC30 (waterline)
-CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara

Nails of the Day 2/26/11

Hello everyone! I wanted to do a quick post before I head out to a birthday party.
Friday night, one of my sisters & I went to get our nails done at a nail shop near our house. 
She got acrylics & I just got a manicure.
I wanted to show you how my nails look(:

I chose O.P.I Java Mauve-a 
& over that, she applied a clear polish with silver glitter.
 
 
 Since my nails are already long, she suggested doing just the tip, 
as that would elongate them a bit more.
*Overall, I was really satisfied with how they turned out<3

A Lil' About Me! :)

Hello there, everyone! My name is Esmeralda aka Esme. I'm the typical 16 year old high school student (Junior).
I am fluent Spanish & English, just in case you're wondering:) 
I LOVE MAKEUP! It's my passion & collecting it is my hobby! ;) 
My makeup collection varies from drugstore to a few high end.
I love doing all types of makeup looks, ranging from bright colors to softer, neutral & natural looks. 
I mostly stick to neutrals & keep things light because I attend school, and find it easier and faster for me to do.
I'm starting off with this blog because I'd like to start doing my own makeup videos on YouTube, but I'd like to see how this works out for me first. I will definitely try my best to keep this blog interesting and up to date.
My goals for this blog is to teach you girls what I know about makeup,
& in doing so, I also plan to learn from you all. 
From this blog you can expect: 
-Face of the Day
-Nails of the Day
-Makeup Tutorials<3
-Product Reviews
