Summer-y neutrals and a cool look for an evening out

The first look was inspired by a discussion on Bare Escentuals Addicts about captivate. Captivate will be in one of the new kits in the August 12th QVC show. So I decided to wear it.

The second look was what I wore last night. Floret looks really good with Las Vegas, I think.

I got finally ordered the colour shift kit and cheek tint kits from Sephora, they should be here wednesady and I can't wait! The new Buxom Lip Tarnish is now in stock online so I ordered wardrobe malfunction and caught on tape. I really can't wait to try those. So hopefully I will have a bunch of new stuff to swatch and wear next week.

Cocker Spaniel and Alive

I had really bad allergies all weekend. I have never had a reaction like that, my eyes were all puffy and my face was red--it was terrible. But I think I'm getting back to normal today.

I thought I would were a few of my buxom eye shadows today since I will be getting a few more soon. There are two new kits at Sephora with new buxom eye shadow colours in them. I can't wait to get them.

I usually use the buxom shadows as a base and then put the mineral shadows over them. But today I blended Schnauzer over Alive and it worked out great.

Bare Escentuals: Fog

Fog is my new favorite grey! When I think of a sexy smoky eye this is the sort of look I have in mind. I think the combination of Fog with the Big and Bright eye liner looks really sultry and makes my eyes look shiny. I don't often wear a look more than once (I have too many colours!!) but I think I will be wearing this again.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radince all over,
