MAC 3D Glass

  MAC 3D Glass in Boundless 
  Originally uploaded by dynamist.

Boundless is the darkest, most red shade in the bunch sent to me by MAC. I put it on bare lips, no liner or lipstick. The results were sheer, shiny, and blessedly lacking in stickiness. For me, Boundless is not a great match, but it would be a fine standby gloss for an evening bag.

I decided to start playing with the MAC samples after a Saturday morning get-together with a friend got postponed until Tuesday. My friend called to tell me about her car woes just after I'd finished putting on makeup, timing which always strikes me as unfortunate. If she'd caught me just before, I would have gone back to bed, no question.

Instead, I did work around the house - it being far too hot even in the morning for any sane person to leave the air conditioned comforts of home - and was happy to have had some slap on my face when my new neighbors dropped by unannounced. Yes, at some point I will have to correct their mistaken impression that I put on eyeliner to clean the bathroom, but it made my maquillage seem like less of a wasteful tragedy.

Do you put on makeup even when you're spending the day alone, away from the harsh glare of both friends and strangers?

sometimes---just in case!

I use a tinted moisturizer so I'm rarely completely without makeup. But I wont do anything else if I'm not going anywhere.

I'm generally bare faced at home but have been known to open the makeup drawer and start playing with shades and tools I never seem to have time to use during the week.

My husband had a bit of a shock when he came home the other day and saw me in over-the-top lashes and ruby red lipstick that had been sent to me by a PR rep... the look on his face was priceless!
