If you could go back in time 10 years and tell your younger self something, what would it be?
Don't buy the Ford Explorer
Who's the most overrated musician?
Lady Gaga. I like her and all. But she's more of a fusion of Madonna and Cyndi Lauper w/ a touch of Marilyn Manson or Mimi from the Drew Carey Show
What's the nicest thing someone's ever done for you?
When I couldn't afford to put both my kids in football, one of their previous coaches paid for one of them. That was awesome.
What's your favorite drink?
AdiosMF, and Strawberry Slush w/ Green Tea Boba or Green Tea Slush with Strawberry Boba
What's your favorite movie quote?
Mr. Madison, what you've just said... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. - Billy Madison (starring Adam Sandler)
What was your worst travel experience?
Driving from Navarre Florida to Hotlanta Georgia trying to escape the wrath of a hurricane. Me and my kids were all sick and had diarrhea...and I had no clue where I was driving. I just needed to get out of Florida. Worst road trip ever!! But Atlanta Georgia was awesome!!
If you could eat dinner with any person, dead or alive, who would it be and where would you go?
Madonna, we would eat at Spread here in San Diego

Illamasqua Haul
 |
| IMATS Illamasqua Haul: IMATS 11 Medium Pencil Kit #1 IMATS 11 Powder Eye Shadow Kit #4 |
 |
| Illamasqua Medium Pencil swatches. *PADDLE - rich royal blue *OBSCENE - deep grey plum *PAINT - vibrant canary yellow EXERT - mid grey *PLEASE - navy blue *ERRANT- dark blackened teal (Colors with "*" are only available in the EU) The Illamasqua MEDIUM PENCILS are described on their website to be creamy to create sultry eyes and sensous lips, designed to glide over skin and creat a lasting colour-true finish. Here's my review for each swatch: PADDLE: - didn't glide over my skin. I found with a little bit of pressure, it went on only a little bit smooth. The color wasn't as consistent. I had to go over the same line 3-4 times. disappointed. OBSCENE: glides on pretty smooth. a beautiful deep grey plum color, the color went on my skin pretty consistent. love it. PAINT: very hard to find a yellow makeup pencil. The product went on smooth and the color was beautiful and vibrant. love it. EXERT: product went on my skin smooth and stayed true to it's color. love it. PLEASE: didn't glide over my skin as smoothly. It was almost like the PADDLE pencil. disappointed. ERRANT: it looks more like a medium black rather than a dark teal as it's described. 95% of me likes it because it does go on smoothly, 5% of dislikes because it's not dark blackened teal likes its described on their website. like it. All the pencils smudge very easily, so that's a plus if you plan on using them for that purpose. But if you don't want them to smudge...you can set it with their Sealing Gel. |

 |
| Illamasqua IMATS 11 Powder Eye Shadow Kit #4 - swatches. I primed my arm with UDEPP (Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion) Top Left: PERMISSION Top Right: VAPOUR Bottom Left: MAYBE? Bottom Right: VIRUS |
Illasmasqua POWDER EYESHADOWs are described as glorious shades that makes a statement that's as individual as you are, highly pigmented, lasting colours ensure all-night intensity. After I swatched it on my arm using UDEPP, here's my review:
PERMISSION: very soft and highly pigmented. my brush easily picked up the product. luv it.
VAPOUR: very soft and highly pigmented...brush easily picked up the product. luv it.
MAYBE?: wasn't as soft, took a bit of effort to get onto my brush. bleh...
VIRUS: wasn't as soft either, also took a bit of effort to get onto my brush. double bleh...
It kind of sucked because I love every shade of purples and pinks...so I decided to give it another go...but this time I swatched all the eyeshadows from this haul using a white base from my MUFE FLASH PALLETTE....and the swatches came out WICKED!! So now I luv them all. I was too tired to take pictures an upload the new swatch, so just take my word for it =) Savvy?
They also really do last very long and very easy to blend.
If you have a PRO account at ILLAMASQUA you can purchase these products at a great discounted price, or you can purchase each item separately with your 40% Pro discount.
If you're just a makeup junkie, just go to your local Sephora store (at the mall and select JCPenny stores) or the Sephora website.
If you're just a makeup junkie, just go to your local Sephora store (at the mall and select JCPenny stores) or the Sephora website.
If you live in the United States like me, it takes about 3-4 weeks until your items arrive...So be very patient.
They'll also send you an Art of Darkness catalogue, great tool for inspiration.
Overall, I think Illamasqua products are awesome and their customer service is excellent. Now I only wish they would open up a store here in San Diego, CA or if Sephora stores would honor pro discounts...that would be great.
Do you consider yourself a good dancer?
according to Dance Central for the XBOX Kinect...i am AWESOME
Who's the most famous person you've met?

| SUGARPILL Cosmetics Haul To order, go to: www.sugarpill.net Follow them on FB & Twitter: Sugarpill FB and Sugarpill Tweets - Pressed eyeshadows ($12 each) TAKO (matte white) LOVE+ (vibrant matte red) BUTTERCUPCAKE (matte yellow) -Loose eyeshadow in GOLDILUX ($12) And I ordered 1 Glitter Logo Sticker in Teal (since Pink was sold out), and they even threw in an extra logo sticker! Awesome! My receipt was also signed with a "Thank You!!" from Amy!! SWEET!!! AND I also got a free sample of the loose eyeshadow in TIPSY (Chromalust lime green). The Chromalust loose eyeshadows are "Glamorous sparkling loose eyeshadows" "ultra-fine metallic powders combine show-stopping color with adhesive elements for long-lasting wear" I placed my order online on 2/28/2011 and received my items today 3/3/2011: EXTREMELY FAST SHIPPING!! The only test subject I had was my oldest son (but he won't let me post his pictures with him having the makeup on LOL), I would have done it on myself, but I already had makeup on and didn't want to wash my face more than once in one night (my skin is very sensitive). BUT I do plan on posting pix soon! I will say this tho: the products are HIGHLY PIGMENTED when combined with a good primer. I tested left eye with just regular moisturizer + foundation: the colors did not get as vibrant as I wanted it to be, but it came out great for an everyday look For the right eye: i prepped it with Urban Decay Shadow Primer Potion + a white base from the MUFE Flash Pallete. The colors came out AMAZING! The products were very easy to apply and extremely easy to blend. I've found my new makeup prescription addiction....SUGARPILL 03/07/2011: New photos!! (Sorry for the low quality...but it was taken by my old old totally outdated iPhone)    |
