Brush Roll and Vanity…

23rd July, 2009

Hubby and I are currently looking for a makeup vanity for me, with seat, so I can start building my makeup stash. I’m looking for a pre-owned one that looks sort of antiquey with a goth type of look to it too. It has to be black or if not black then maybe cherry wood…maybe. So, once I get one I will post pictures of it. It’s not like I’ll be able to fill it up with makeup right away because I don’t have much, but I’m thinking that will all change as time goes by.

So anyway, here is my edited and final list of what I’m going to pick up from the MAC Colour Craft collection. Oh dear Colour Craft. The only bright colors I’ll wear for makeup is pink. My dark soul cannot take all of the shimmer unless it’s dressed up subtly with darker, matte colors. I think this collection is OK, but after so much time thinking about it I decided on just getting these for collection purposes:

- 131 brush
- Mineralized Eyeshadow in Fashion Patch
- Mineralized Blusher in Daft Pink
- Mineralized Skinfinish Trio in Smooth Merge
- Mineralized Skinfinish in Porcelain Pink (love love love)

That’s all! I’m not into lots and lots of shimmer unless it’s the product is loose so this is all that I’m getting from this collection. I also heard from Michelle1218 (my favorite Youtube Beauty Guru next to Richie Nickel) that she had a hard time picking up color from the Colour Craft Mineralized Eyeshadows with her 239 brush — EEEEEK! In saying all of that, I am very excited about the MAC Black Collection that is coming out this fall – yay no more funky mineralized colors for a while! I don’t like lipsticks, but I really, really want that black lipstick from MAC. I’ve got to have it. On day one I’m at my MAC store purchasing my lipstick in Black Knight. I’m also going to pick up all three Glimmerglasses (woot!) and eyeshadows in Midnight Media and Night Violet.

OK so I was browsing through Specktra today and I came across a thread in the forums where a member MissChievous (love her makeup tutorials to death!) posted some neat brush rolls she discovered online at Etsy.com. Here are the ones I’m interested in getting. I would like to buy three. One for face brushes, one for eye brushes and one for miscellaneous brushes. These patterns and colors will go well with the vanity I want that I dont’ have yet. Ha! It’s so much fun planning these things out.
