Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Orange, Red/Maroon, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL)
This is a great fall look – a type of burnt orangish color, and I love the way it looks. It’s pretty bold. Fall is coming…it’s in the air…can you feel it…? (I can’t yet…it’s too hot lol!)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Off the Radar Pigment (inner lid), Copperbeam pigment (middle lid), Heritage Rouge (outer lid & crease), Shimmertime Pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Merrily mineralized blush

Look: Fresh Cut Palette
Posted by Heather | Filed under Looks, MAC, Pink, Red/Maroon
Ever since I discovered the MAC holiday palettes, I’ve loved them. I didn’t used to be a palette girl because I make my own, and don’t want to carry around a bunch of little ones. But these are really really good. The quality is above what I would expect from a smaller shadow and the texture is often better than their usual shadows. They’re all new LE colors too, which is great because I’m really tired of them putting perm or repromote colors in their palettes. This and the Graphic Garden palette are part of the Nordstrom Beauty Exclusive release. If you like pinks, this one is worth a look. I really like it :-) What do you think?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Fresh Cut Palette, Raven Kohl Power (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Daft Pink mineralize blush
- Lips: Pink Karat lusterglass

Look: Smoldering Spiced Chocolate
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, NARS, Orange, Pink, Red/Maroon
The texture of the shadows in the Spiced Chocolate quad is seriously unparalleled. The colors are so incredibly pigmented too…almost too much, but that’s ok. It’s a very unique set of colors, and I made a descently dark look with it.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Artifact PP (base), Spiced Chocolate quad, Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Golden Apricot Mineralized blush
- Lips: NARS Dolce Vita lipgloss

Look: That Summer Glow
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gold, Looks, MAC, Orange, Red/Maroon, Yellow
This look was for a Memorial Day BBQ at my mother-in-law’s. I went for sunset colors and golden tones in this look. I also started using Sun Rush Lusterdrops – I mix one small drop in with my foundation, then apply over my whole face. So if I seem to look a little shiny, I’m not, it’s the “glow”. :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Cash Flow PP (base), Bright Future (inner & middle lid), Peppier (middle lid & crease), red side of Danger Zone (upper crease), Bronze (outer “V”), Soft Force (highlight), Blacktrack Fluidline (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Lucky (lower lashline & waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: I mixed some Sun Rush Lusterdrops into my foundation and used Eversun BPB
- Lips: Sunsational l/s + Gold Rebel lipglass

Look: Chanel Iridescent Effects Eyes In Plein Soleil Quad
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Brown, Chanel, Looks, Neutral, Red/Maroon
*Sigh* I really wanted to like this quad. It just wasn’t anything special, and sadly had to make a trip back to Nordies. The consistency was meh and the colors weren’t very impressive. It was nothing I couldn’t make with what I already had. It’s too bad too, because I was all set to be in love with every LE Chanel Quad they debuted. Ah well, here’s what came out of it :-) I mean, it’s pretty and all, but it’s just so…brown? Oh, I wore it with my suit…which I wore because I had to go to the district office with the Principal and VP to order new Math textbooks for next year. It was exciting! :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Bare Study (base), Chanel Iridescent Effects Plein Soleil Quad, Raven Kohl Power, Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Earth to Earth Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: Guerlain Beige Rose 41 Lipliner + YSL Rouge Pure Shine #19
