Hi Everyone!

Here's my basic shimmering brown eyes. I use a ton of brown shadows because they look best with my blue eyes.

Products I used-Lips:

My eyes up

close on the right... The eye liner almost makes the lashes look like false ones. The Diorshow mascara is really lengthening and makes my eyelashes reach my eyebrows lol. I will post a review on that mascara later on...

Brushes I used:

Bobbi Brown Bronzer-for the HD powder

Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Eye Liner-gel liner

MAC 266-powder liner

Bobbi Brown Eye Smudge-crease color

Bobbi Brown Face Blender-bronzer, cream & powder blush

This is a nice summer look, but I usually do brown eyes for an everyday look. For a more daytime look, I would use a pencil liner. I think this is great for summer nights! Be on the lookout for more "Today's Look" posts.

Let me know if there is a look you are wanting to see! : )

Currently in love with....

Hi Everyone!

So I wanted to do a post on the things I am currently in love with in regards to beauty products! Here's my current list (enjoy!):

Nails:

• OPI Bubble Bath--this is a really nice, neutral pink for an everyday look
• Seche Vite Top Coat--this is the shiniest, longest lasting top coat I have ever used! : )

MAC:

• Paint Pot in Painterly--nice base for shadows or to wear alone... I haven't had it long, but I do love it!
• Pearl Glide Intense Eyeliner in Designer Purple--okay, I was skeptical of using purple eyeliner at first, but I am in love with this stuff! It is fun and different!

Bobbi Brown:

• Shimmer Brick in Apricot--this is a nice summer glow, however the color is discontinued... I think the Nectar color looks very similar though...
• Extreme Party Mascara--just a nice, thick, dark mascara
• Long Wear Cream Eyeshadow in Beach Honey--nice for summer! and it's very long lasting!

Blushes:

• Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pink Raspberry--I think this *might* be discontinued too, but I love wearing this color! It is bright and nice for the summer flushed look.
• NARS Multiple in Orgasm--bright and shimmer, also nice for summer. I haven't used this very long, but I do love it so far!
• NARS blush in Deep Throat--more of a peach color than the Orgasm, but this is the powder kind, so I've been wearing it over the multiple and also loving it thus far.

Lip Stuff:

• MAC Viva Glam Gaga--pink and bright! love it! (am I starting to notice a trend here?)
• MAC Lip Pencil in Subculture--nice under the Viva Gaga
• NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Bettina--love the texture and the color! so pretty!
• Bobbi Brown Lip Tint SPF 15 in #3 Blossom Tint--I know this is discontinued, it was one of the first Bobbi products I bought in 2007.. no, it hasn't dried up yet. It goes nice over the Gaga lipstick

Scents:

• Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue--LOVE this for summer!
• Bobbi Brown Beach--LOVE this for summer too!

Alright, those are the current loves and products I am using a lot! Let me know if you have questions or want a specific review of a product! : )

i miss blogging!

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I have been missing from the blog for a while. It feels like 3 weeks... Anyway, update on the computer--I have to send it into Apple for them to fix it since a service provider is farther than an hour away. I am hopefully sending it in today or tomorrow, but I still have to drive 20ish minutes to take it to FedEx to send it in. Blah. Right now I am using my fiance's computer...

Makeup update: I really suck at the 10 Pan Challenge. I never use the lip glosses, but I have been using the eyeliner and foundation almost every single day. I am more conscious of my use and my spending. So even if I do not complete this challenge, at least I came out with that.

However, I have bought something else. : ( I had to order it from MAC's website because all the Belk's within a 100 mile radius that sell MAC were sold out. It is the pearl glide eyeliner in Designer Purple. Yes, I bought purple eyeliner. I'm not in middle school. I promise I am going to do something really pretty with it and it was sooooooo gorgeous in person. And the only reason I decided to go ahead and buy it is because of the limited edition--stores will not be getting anymore of these. Other makeup shopping news: I returned some products that were bothering my skin. I decided to get some other MAC products. Here's what I got: lip pencil in subculture to wear under my viva glam gaga lipstick, the 266 small angled liner brush, and mineralize eyeshadow duo in odd couple. The eyeshadow is super cute and will work with the new Designer Purple eyeliner. I cannot wait to show you this look when I get everything in.

Yesterday, I did one of my best friend's makeup for her baby shower. I used Bobbi Brown's nude palette, plus some creamy eyeshadows to really make her eyes pop. I will do a full blog post on this when I upload my pictures. She looked so beautiful yesterday!!!!

Let me know about your makeup or if you have any questions. I love makeup and talking about makeup.
