Universal Products

Over the summer I used a variety of products. Some of them are good for the summer but many can be used through out the year. All off the eyeshadows listed are neutral colors and can be used all year round, day or night.

My favorite universal products are:

MAC Eyeshadows (Blanc Type, Shroom, All That Glitters, Sable, Mulch)
Urban Decay Naked Pallet
MAC Mineralized skinfinish in Light Medium
Various Primers
MAC Viva Glam V lipstick
MAC Viva Glam VI lipglass
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners
Urban Decay 24/7 lipliners

My list is longer but these are the products that came to mind on quick reflection. I either routinely grab for them or they can be used in too many ways to count.

Where It All Began

For a while now the idea of a blog has been running through my head.  After contemplating it off and on I decided to take the plunge.  The name idea seemed to fit well with the type of interests that have influenced my individual style. So a style/beauty blog is the best way to describe the types of articles that will be written. 

Interests in Science Fiction, Science, Martial Arts and other non-girly avenues have mingled in with some more typical girl things like accessories, makeup, etc.  Depending on the situation finding the right mix is fun.  Adding the a unique piece of jewelery or trying a new makeup look are two easy things to try.

One of my other hobbies, costuming,  gives me a reason to try more dramatic stuff from time to time. That's one reason I chose to look into makeup a bit further.  Its another way to make me feel good. 
 
Exercising creativity is an enjoyable challenge in this area for me. A lot of finds are through simply experimenting.  Don't be afraid to try something you haven't before.  Achieving a look that makes one feel confident yet fits the setting is one thing to keep in mind.
