Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadow (love!)

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Wanting to mix things up a bit for a dressy event recently, I pulled out my Aspen Summit (silvery white shimmer). I used it over a pink and brown I’d already applied. It added some serious pop, that even I wasn’t expecting.

It’s shimmery without being high school glittery. I promise. When used with a light hand it is subtle.

In the photos from the event, I noticed my eyes were bluer and brighter and somehow seemed even more open.

The color is rich and a little goes a long way. I use an eyeshadow brush and blend, blend, blend.

Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadow can also be used wet for a more intense look.

Sephora Nano Eyeliner (love!)

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I’m currently addicted to the silver green color. I purchased it on a whim last time I was at a Sephora and haven’t looked back.

It goes well with everything. From a little black dress to blue jeans. It’s different than traditional black or grey, but gives the same impact.

“Sephora Brand Nano Eyeliner glides on smoothly and comfortably, creating a lovely line of color,” the website states.

Ingredients such as shea butter and rosemary extracts make this formula “soft and easy to work with.”

I couldn’t agree more. I find this product very easy to use and it always leaves a straight line. It also comes off very easily with just soap and water.

Oribe 24K Gold Pomade (love!)

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I know you read pomade and you think of George Clooney in O Brother, Where Art Thou? But let me tell you, this is not George’s pomade.

The product promises, “super-rich gold highlights for instant lustrous glamour. Excellent for use on pleasure craft, in convertibles or anywhere a little 24-karat seduction is needed.”

Directions: Smooth onto wet or dry hair and style.

CAUTION: It will get all oer your hands and turn everything you touch gold. I suggest getting dressed FIRST (if possible), throwing an old towel over your shoulders and THEN applying. Make sure to wash your hands after.

Made with “real gold dust” this is not for use every day. I use it for events or when I want to glam it up.

Too Faced Second Base Anti Crease Shadow Base Matte (love!)

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I never wear eye shadow without this underneath. Ever. It keeps my shadow locked in place through an entire work day and some times even though a Body Combat class.

It goes on smooth and a little goes a long way.

There are two options, “First Base imparts a luminous glow and sheen to eyes with an opalescent shimmer hue while Second Base creates the perfect matte canvas.” I prefer second base because some of my shadows are shimmery already and don’t need extra.

In addition to sticking my shadow to my lids for the entire day, according to the Too Faced website, I”m doing my lids some good.

Too Faced Eyeshadow bases “soothe, protect and condition with the added benefit of keeping eye shadows in place. Infused with a botanical blend of essential oils and vitamins.”

What more could you want?

Shiseido Multi-Shade Enhancer (love!)

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

I don’t tan. Ever. Even after a week in Mexico. So most bronzers look terrible and fake on me.

This one doesn’t. It looks natural and gives me a sun kissed look I can’t achieve on my own.

It goes on light. You could layer it for more coverage and if you have darker skin, you might want to. One swipe is enough for me.

I do swirl it with a power brush so all the colors mix together. It has a little shimmer, but nothing to make you look like a high school girl.

Stila Eye Shadow in Shore (love!)

Friday, March 19th, 2010


I love, love, love this shadow. I’ve had this color forever and it never dissappoints!

I wear it dry for some sublte grey shimmer during the day and wet at night for a great, super easy smokey eye. According to the Stila website, the official color of shore is “a blue-gray shade with a shimmery finish.”

I’ve shared this with friends and have yet to find someone it does not look amazing on. Alone or with a black or grey eyeliner this long wearing shadow is a must have in your make up bag!
