Apples, Kiwis, Limes and Berries

I have so many eye shadows and lip glosses with fruit names I had to do another fruit inspired look.

EYES:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radince all over,
Banana Smoothie under brow,
TSS Killer Kiwis lash to crease,
Lime lash to crease on outer 1/2ish,
Pure Luxe Sour Apple in crease and outer corner,
TSS Smurfberry Blast in outer corner,
Berry Flambe wet lined on top,
100% Pure Black Tea mascara.


CHEEKS: Fruit Cocktail blush
LIPS: Aveda Foxglove lip liner with Fruit Smoothie gloss over it.

Good Morning Gorgeous: Friday

I wanted to foil Friday but I was in a big hurry and ran out of time. It is a really pretty colour and it will be fun to see how it looks with greens and purples.

EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radince all over,
High Shine Ice lash to brow and mroe heavily on inner 1/3ish,
Friday lash into crease on outer 2/3 and wet lined on top, dry lined on bottom,

Esperanza Spalding's Grammy Dress

I was happy to see Esperanza Spalding win a Grammy for best new artist. I like her music and she is clearly very talented. I also thought her dress, designed by Selma Karaca, was interesting. I think the dress is pretty, it has a nice shape and it looked great on Spalding. I found the colour palette strangely alluring and so I decided to do an eye shadow look based on her outfit. From pictures I’ve seen most of the dress is varying shades of chartreuse with some darker woodsy greens and sea greens mixed in. I really like the combination of chartreuse and the sea green it is a colour combination that I don’t think I ever would have thought of.

Here is a picture of the dress:

This is "Fall In" one of my favorites:

EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radince all over,
Petunia under brow,
Exotic Victoria foiled lash to crease,
MAC Spiritualize in crease and outer corner,
KVD Hard Luck with a tiny touch of Tijuana in outer corner and V and along lower lash line,
KVD Tijuana wet lined on top,
Rimmel Mascara.


CHEEKS: Optimist with a little Avant-Garden on the apples.
LIPS: Fruit Smoothie gloss with a little Tarte Charmed to darken it.

If you wanted to do this look with all BE I would use Perrfect in place of KVD Hard Luck, Foliage in place of KVD Tijuana, and maybe Treasured terri mixed with a bright blue (like crusin' teddi or azure) in place of MAC spiritualize (I don't really have anything in my BE collection that is very similar to spiritualize). I also thought about using Vienna Buxom under the gloss, if I had more time I would have.

Bare Escentuals: Naturally Luminous

This collection was on QVC during the last show but it will be in boutiques next month. Bare Escentuals made a video for this kit.

I'm really glad I got this kit. The colours are pretty and unlike anything I have. The light green will look white on some skin tones, but when you see it in the swatches I hope you will see that it is not really like the other very pale greens I have.

The brown is a nice rich brown with a bronze-y sheen. Neither colours are sparkly but they both have a luminous sheen. I am not a big fan of browns but I think I will actually wear restore.

The blush is bright pink. It kind of looks like Fruit Cocktail in the pot. It is a really soft pink.
The lipgloss is a sheer pink. It looks very pigmented in the tube and so I was surprised by how sheer it is. I think it would look best over a lipliner or a buxom lipstick like Las vegas or London.
