Bare Escentuals Insisde Scoop and a Pink look

I got the Bare Escentuals Inside Scoop kit from Sephora last week. It has a new eyeshadow High Shine Gold Medal and a new big and bright eye liner in Cork. High Shine Gold Medal is a very pretty light gold and Cork is an olive brown (I didn't actually swatch it so I'm just going by what it looks like). The kit also has a brush, a mini tube of Primetime for Eyes and the NEW volumizing Flawless mascara. The mascara is nice but I'm not sure it's that different than the regular flawless mascara. The mascara brush is a regular bristle brush (not the plastic kind). The formula seems only slightly thicker than the regular flawless definition. I really like the regular flawless definition mascara so of course I don't have anything bad to say about the new version--except that it doesn't seem more volumizing and I like the plastic brush better.

But since we are on the subject of mascara I started using my Buxom mascara again and I really really like it. I think it actullly curls my lashes a bit! I remember liking it when I first got it but obviously I forgot about it and stopped using it. So I wonder if I try the volumizing mascara again later I will have a different opinion. I like the Buxom mascara so much this time around that I added it to my Sephora (Fall) friends and family sale wish list (I know it's a little crazy to be making a list this early in the year but you guys probably do the same ;)

Inspiration Everywhere

This look is inspired by two of my students shoes. They were both wearing grey tennis shoes with hot pink trim. One of them was wearing a pair of pumas that were grey and the outline of the puma was in hot pink--that gave me the idea for the double lining. I get inspired by all kind of crazy things. I guess it just goes to show you that you can find an idea for a look almost anywhere.

Bare Escentuals Cherish Charity Colour

I got Cherish in the preview sale. Cherish is the new charity colour from Bare Escentuals. Some of the money from the sale of this colour will go to support autism research. The charity colours have been really soft and beautiful so far and this one is no exception. Cherish is a soft pink with a purple lean. I used it as a blush in this look and I really like it.
