FOTD| NARS Kauai Eyeshadow Duo with a Soft Lip

I haven't done an official look with NARS Kauai out of hesitation (those cool toned shades tend to look muddy and poorly blended on me...) so here is one for you with warmer shades to help make the duo more wearable for every day.

Eyes

NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base to prime.

NARS Etrusque on the inner half of the lid.

NARS Kauai's purple on the outer half of the lid and outer lower lashline.

MAC Tempting to blend into the socket.

NARS Kauai's gold for the inner corners.

Blend well.

Stila Stay All Day Liner in black to only line the lashline; no wings.

Lancome Definicils mascara with L'oreal Voluminous False Lash Fiber in Blackest Black (Waterproof) on top. Curled. 

Complexion

Benefit Porefessional Primer on cheeks and nose.

Tarte 12 Hour Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation in Medium Sand. 

No setting powder.

To keep the face well balanced, Tarte Exposed is dusted lightly onto the cheekbones. 

Lips

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Natural.

MAC Pink Nouveau patted on lightly.

Thanks for looking!

FOTD| Behonestbeauty| Urban Decay Vice 2

Today I wanted to finally dig out my UD Vice 2 to try out some colorful shadows. In specifics, the green shadows called out my name.

 I've a sort of idea in my head that jade green and forest green shadows look amazing on tanner, warm toned skin and really brings out that Oriental stereotype we know and love. Imagine Jamie Chung a la stripper in that Tarantino movie. I know she's wearing jade eyeshadow in your mind. 

The lips are a whim. There's always a chance to rock berry. 

EYES

UD Vice: Wash of Strike all over eye, Damaged lightly in the outer v, Stash in the inner 2/3 of eye

MUFE La Boheme's lime green shadow in inner corner

MAC lip liner in Nightmoth 

BROWS/LASH

Benefit's Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep and Brow Zings in Medium

Lancôme Cils Booster 

Urban Decay Cannonball

FACE

Laura Mercier Silk creme foundation in medium ivory

Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette Dim light all over

LIPS

MAC lip liner in More to Love

Maybelline lipstick in Blissful Berry

Enjoy your weekend!

FOTD: Milky Pink Lips

Happy Friday!

Today I am doing a FOTD that will incorporate my two new lip products that I recently hauled.

The first, shown on the left, is part of MAC's summer line, "Temperature Rising" complete with sulking model and glistening abs as part of their advertising strategy. I was shown a sneak peek at the counter, but only found their Lipglass "Liquid Passion" interesting.

You see, I HATE lip gloss. I don't like its stickiness, the shininess, the gloop that gathers around the mouth of the container, and most of all the hair to mouth attraction that gives me a long mustache. The list goes on. However, I've heard good things about MACs lipglasses and have always wanted a milky nude gloss to accompany my lipsticks.

The color payoff of this gloss is amazing! I didn't know it was possible for a lip gloss to be that pigmented and sheer out my lip color with such ease. Liquid Passion seems like a beige/milk gloss that makes my lips look pouty and full without venturing on fourth grade glitter gloss territory.

Liquid Passion is Limited Edition and is a tad more expensive than their normal lipglass pricing. I will do a more in depth review later.

The second color I picked up is a drugstore lipstick: Milani lipstick #14 in Rose Hip. This color is bright but not too bright and best of all, smells like Jolly Ranchers! It's very moisturizing on the lips. I would describe it as a bright pink that's very creamy in texture.

When layered together, these two create a lovely pouty pink look that reminds me of candy or juice. I've created a FOTD look with the layered lip products and a very strong brow. The final look tutorial will be on YouTube within the week.

Products on the mug:Face: Studio Fix in C5 (Finally, I am tanner!)
Milani Blush in Luminoso
E.L.F. Makeup Setting Spray

Eyes: Aqua brow in 25
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
Maybelline Mascara The Rocket
Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in black and brown

Lips: Aquaphor
Milani Lipstick in Rose Hip
MAC lipglass in Liquid Passion

Trust me, this look takes less than 5 minutes to go and you look fresh and awakened from your vampire slumber enough to venture out into the summer sun.

What's your fav drugstore lipstick brand?
