Pink for Spring

The other more wearable trend I found in Allure was pink eye shadow with black liner. They have quite a range of looks including one with hot pink and black but I thought I would do the softer pink look because more people can wear it.
This was the inspiration for this look. The look in the magazine was done with the NARS Caravaggio duo. I don't have that one so I just used Bare Escentuals.





EYES:

Primetime for eyes,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radaince all over,
Benefit Gogo Girl under brow and blended down,
Angel food cake in the crease and blended into the middle of the lid,
Bauble lightly over angel food cake,
Bahamas blended over everything lash to brow,
KVD Lucifer wet lined top and bottom,
Rimmel Mascara.


CHEEKS: Azalea Blush
LIPS: Vienna Buxom

Dark Chocolate and Mint Cookies


Again with the food theme. I made cookies on Sunday and they were the inspiration for this look. 
I also have to say that I love energy drink. I think it is my favorite new gloss from all the holiday stuff (It was in the Bright Now kit from Sephora). It has just a little bit of colour and it makes your lips look kind of juicy and glossy in a nice way. I think it looks kind of natural and sexy at the same time.



EYES:

Primetime for eyes,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radaince all over,
Mint lash to brow and more heavily lash to crease,
Dark Chocolate in crease and outer corner,
TSS Dazzle Dance lightly lash to crease,
Deep Amythest wet lined on top,
Flawless definition mascara with Buxom mascara over it.


CHEEKS: Azalea blush
LIPS: Energy Drink Gloss

Bare Escentuals Face Fashion: Fab Fresh, Two Ways

I recently got the new Face Fashion kit. I mostly got it for the blush and lip gloss. The colours in this kit are silimar to other BE colours I have so I wouldn't say this is a must have.
Here are my subs for this kit:
Lilac Vibe = Jolie, Hugs, Embrace
Blushing Bronze = Long Island Iced Tea, Bali, Tan lines
Wild Jungle (This is the one colour I don't think there is a good match for in my BE collection--so the suggestions are not exact) = Grass, Lush Topaz, Mermaid (with some grey added in)

Azalea blush is a darker version of Cheerful (both are pretty and Azalea has some sparkle in it)

Version 1
EYES:
TFSI, wr/cr,
Lilac Vibe lash to brow,
Blushing bronze lash to crease and blended in the crease on the outer 3/4,
Wild Jungle lash to crease in outer 1/4 and wet lined on top,
mascara.

CHEEKS: Azalea Blush
LIPS: Straberry Shortcake gloss












Version 2
I like this kit much better this way. I think I would skip the blushing bronze on the lower lash line next time.

EYES:
TFSI, wr/cr,
Lilac Vibe lash to brow dry then foiled lash to crease,
Wild Jungle lash and into crease on outer 1/3ish,
Wild Jungle wet lined on top,
mascara.

CHEEKS: Azalea
LIPS: Aveda Foxglove Lip liner with Strawberry Shortcake over it.
