After The Rain

Hello, Fireflies!

I love palettes, and even though I have a lot of them, sometimes one just calls out to me and the primal voice inside me responds.. with my credit card...

Warm, Glowing Look with Manny MUA x Makeup Geek, Vita Liberata, It Cosmetics

Vita Liberata and Billion Dollar Brows are Press Samples.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

So, yesterday, I showed you all the different ways I used the Vita Liberata Body Blur, including as a bronzy primer for my face.  I wanted to show you what I used to complete that look, including the new, fab collab palette between Makeup Geek and MannyMUA.

It (Cosmetics) Girl With An Urban (Decay) Edge

Cover FX Blemish Concealer is a Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

Have you ever been convinced that you weren't going to purchase something, and then you ended up being seduced by it and having it win you over?  That's what happened with me and the Gwen Stefani x Urban Decay collex.  It's so neutral, yet edgy! I paired it with some It Cosmetics I love, and a fun nail art look today.

Laura Mercier Eye Art Artist's Palette (2015)

Cuepido Cosmetics and NYC Bronzer are Press Samples; everything else is purchased by me.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I'm a fan of Cora from Vintage or Tacky, and when she did her review/comparison of the Laura Mercier Artists Palette (2013 vs. 2015 version) I knew I wanted to pick it up! I love purples and neutrals, too. I have some swatches, and two looks I created with this palette to show you today.

Pixelated Pretty #Japonesque

Forlan BB Cream and Billion Dollar Brow are Press Samples.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I love palettes.  So many color choices! But, there's nothing new under the sun, right?  What could make me excited about yet another palette?

Bliss Every Which Way

Hello, Fireflies!

I can't make up my mind how I feel about Bliss.  I'm not a fan of their "FatGirlSlim" line because of the name, but they make other products that I do like, especially their hand cream.  So when Kohls had a bunch of Bliss on sale at half-off or more, I picked up their Every Which Way palette on a whim.  Does it go my way? or the highway?

Old Urban Decay with New It Cosmetics

Hello, Fireflies!

I didn't even know that Urban Decay was coming out with their XX Vice Ltd Reloaded palette, but when I saw it, I knew I needed it!  I came kinda late to the UD game, so I was pretty excited to try some of these older colors.  The day I put my eye look together, I happened to receive my It Cosmetics New Year, Most Beautiful You set in the mail from QVC, and couldn't wait to try some of those, so I paired them together for a FOTD.

Airbrushed and Blue! #LuminessAir #YBCosmetics #LoracAlterEgo

Luminess Air and Youngblood mascara are Press Samples.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I love having fun with makeup, and I have to tell you, this was probably the most fun I've had in a while.  I was so excited to try my first airbrush makeup application, and blue colors are some of my favorite funky fun colors to wear.

Goege-eous, Inexpensive Eyeshadows! #eyeshadow15

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I don't know when I became a hoarder of neutral eyeshadow palettes, but there is something about them that I find hard to resist! Even though my skin tones is better suited to cooler tones, I'm also attracted to warm peach and browns - and this 15-color palette from Goege is chock-full of them.
