The MPP (MAC Pro-Palette) Project > Intro

You probably can’t really tell, since I don’t post photos of makeup looks on Lifestyle Counter, but I am a huge eye-shadow girl. I could happily use the same base/blush/lash products everyday but I need to change it up daily when it comes to eye color (& lipstick, of course, but that kind of goes without saying). I do currently own a number of eye palettes (Too Faced Natural Eyes, Benefit World Famous Neutrals, AVON Hollywood Collection True Color 8 in 1 in Silver Screen, AVON True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Stone Taupes, KIKO Color Fever Eyeshadow Palette in 100, Sleek 731 Ultra Mattes V2 and Sleek 596 Bad Girl) along with some odd bits and bobs (Max Factor Excess Shimmers in 30 Onyx/ 25 Bronze and 20 Copper, MAC Sable, MAC Woodwinked, MAC Lucky Green and MAC Goldmine) but have somehow never really got into thinking about putting together a customized MAC Pro Palette until now (which I find extremely weird, but anyway).

Beauty Obsession of the Day…

I have, thus far, been extremely good about not caving in and buying… well, everything Hourglass came out with in 2014 (especially the Ambient Lighting Powders and Ambient Lighting Blushes, which I have to admit to being ridiculously tempted by).

Today, however, I saw something I will most definitely be unable to resist. Enter the Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette (an “artist-inspired” , 5- color wonder that comes in 7 glorious shade combinations). I immediately fell for the ‘Obscura’ one, which features some of my all time favorite earthy tones: cream, smokey brown, rose gold (!), coffee & a cool bronze (!!).  These little gems are currently only available to Sephora VIB Rouge Members (if that, since they all seem to be sold out at the time of writing) but should soon become …

Beauty Obsession of the Day

Marc Jacobs is generally not a (beauty) brand I’m that interested in but, ever since I first saw this a few months back I have been beyond obsessed. With three (gorgeous) mattes & four shimmers, packed in an ultra glossy & sleek packaging – how could I not be? Mentions and reviews by fav bloggers such as Vivianna Does Makeup & EssieButton certainly haven’t helped much, either. Unfortunately, Sephora does not ship to Greece and  I have yet to find an e-shop that does. Any suggestions?
