Rockin' Chocolate... of the Stars?

Alright, my attempt to name this post after every different cosmetic line I used was a bit of a failure, but at least I tried, right?

I went out and bought more stuff from the Mac x Star Trek collection on Sunday.  I decided after my initial purchase that I really liked the pressed pigment called The Naked Time.   I love the Trip the Light Fantastic powder in Luna Lustre, but I didn't realize how cool it was until I started trying to use it every day.  I decided I wanted a warmer one to use as blush with warmer looks.  I looked at the other two colors, but ultimately settled on Highly Illogical and bought that.  Here are shots of the pans.  They are both gorgeous.  I love the marbling in the Trip the Light Fantastic powders.

The pictures are a little washed out, but they are discolored without flash, so I don't have much choice. Highly Illogical is quite a bit darker, and both items are much more sparkly than they appear here.  I really love them both.

I was super excited to use both, but ultimately decided against it.  When I picked out my clothes for the next day, I wound up with grey and black, so I had to go for an edgy look with a cool palette.  I settled on trying to use The Naked Time in a look and saving Highly Illogical for another day.  When I decided the look needed to trend toward cool, I knew I needed to use the Mac x Star Trek lipstick in Kling-it-on, which I've had trouble using well since I got it.  Then, this badass rocker look was born.  I found this look so intriguing.  It's definitely a darker theme I need to go for more often.

   Face/Lips

I used the Hard Candy Perfecting Primer to start with, then used the Maybelline BB cream in my shade as my foundation. My undereye concealer is the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Concealer, and I've used the Hard Candy Glamouflage concealer to cover my blemishes.

Like I've done in previous looks, my blush and my highlight are the Mac x Star Trek Trip the Light Fantastic powder in Luna Lustre.  It's just different sections of the pan.

On my lips, I am wearing Mac x Star Trek lipstick in Kling-it-On, a blackened purple with pink sparkles among other colors.  I layered the lip gloss from the collection in Warp Speed Ahead over the top, focusing it in the middle, in order to try to give it more staying power.

Here's what the pan looks like.  Since the marbling on one side is darker, it makes for an excellent highlighting blush.  As I use it more, more of the darker peachy side seems to come up.  It's such a neat product,  Peach is typically a cool color, but the mauve running through it is stronger, which makes it cooler.


I am a little obsessed with this product. It's literally perfect for someone as pasty as I am.

It took me a bit, but I picked out some mattes from the palettes Allie left with me.  I started out with Skinny Latte as a transition from the Eggnog Latte palette from Too Faced's Grande Hotel Café collection (shop it here).  I ran that from just below the browbone to just above the mobile lid.  Next, I applied Maple Syrup from the Gingerbread Cookie to the crease to add depth and blend the next shade, Black Coffee, in better.  This served to frame the mobile lid.  Then I applied the star of the show, The Naked Time, all over the mobile lid.  I ran out of time, so I didn't put on as much eyeliner on as I wanted.  All I did was line the water like with the Maybelline Eye Studio gel liner in Blackest Black and then apply my Maybelline Falsies Flared mascara.  For true rock star glam, I needed way more eyeliner, but this was an awesome look nonetheless.
