Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless Matte Bronzer. They no longer sell this bc they have the chocolate soleil bronzers but I picked this up at Nordstrom Rack 2 summers ago. Also I am trying to use up my Smashbox Full Exposure mascara so yeah both have been in constant rotation this week!
Eyeing more of the MAC Extra Dimension blushes. Picked up Sweets for my Sweet. Very nice and intense blush…wow!
In rotation: I had did a copper eye look on Monday with MAC’s Coppering and Amber Lights eye shadow; On Tuesday I laid down Tom Ford’s cream shadow in Spice and then topped with the Tom Ford Nude Dip palette; on Wednesday I did a pinky shimmer eye look with Viseart #3 (pale shimmery pinky-peach) shadow from Bridal Satin on inner 1/3 of lid, Viseart #6 ( a pigmented, full on shimmery spring pink) from Viseart’s Boheme Dream pallette, and deepened the crease with Viseart’s #11 (a radiant, shimmery orchid) from Boheme Dream palette; and Thursday and Friday a LOST MY MIND over a blue look I did using the pale light blue #4 from Viseart’s Bridal Satin palette on inner 1/3, the stunning almost pool blue from Boheme Dream (#8) on the middle 1/3, and the shimmery but deep royal blue (#12) from the Boheme Dream palette in outer 1/3 of lid. On the Thurs/Friday blue look I highlighted the inner tear duct and brow bone with the pale silver shimmer (#2) from Bridal Satin, and used the gorgeous blue from Pastel Goth (Doom) under the eye and for transition. I have a picture here of the look 10 hours after application (so it’s somewhat faded), but seriously, I might just wear this look for the rest of spring, I love it so much! https://www.instagram.com/p/BSojVnlBsN9/?taken-by=tammyburtch
For lips I was definitely having a moment with the Taraji Viva Glam lipstick and gloss, which is an effortless go-to spring fuchsia that looks great and requires no thought. I also created a mix by putting MAC’s Damn Glamorous all over my lips and then topping with MAC’s Make Me Gorgeous in the center. Neither of this by themselves was a winner for me, but together they are perfect!
Caught my eye: I saw that Clarins is releasing a limited edition eye shadow quad for summer. It looks pretty!
What a beautiful look! Gorgeous! You are very talented. I find I am putting the Visesart bridal satin Palette into my rotation more often lately. It’s a good one to blend with a nice viseart matte. Anyway, I really like how you’ve pulled off the blue look. It’s stunning on you!
Thank you, Aimee! I thought I would never wear the bright colors in Ribbons Boheme but now I love them, and Bridal Satin is my favorite of the Viseart palettes I own. I’ve had them for awhile, I’m just now really using them.
Skin tone: porcelain with pink undertones
Most loved product: My Becca x Jaclyn Hill blush and highlighter palette, Still in love with it. Used my Les Gris from Guerlain eye quad this week for a few summery blue looks.
Most used product: Clarins Red Terra and Ginger lipsticks
New discoveries: Not really this week.
Oh you changed the questions…
Skintone/coloring : light NC 20. Medium Brown hair/eyes
Most loved product : Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless Matte Bronzer. I’ve been into the sun stripping technique and this bronzer works well bc it is matte and not orange like many bronzers
Most used product: Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in light, Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless Matte Bronzer
New disvoveries: MAC Extra Dimension blushes. Yay they are so good!
Skintone/coloring: currently a NC10
Most loved product of the week: Nars blush in Gilda is still going strong 😀

New Products: Yesterday I received my order from Look Fantastic. I ordered mostly hair stuff, but then also a sampler of skin79’s BB creams, which I’m gonna start testing out today!
My skin tone: Pale with pink undertones
Most loved product: Essence Long Lasting lipstick 06 (a nice dark mauve nude)
Most used product: Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara
New beauty discoveries: Colour Pop! I have some of their Ultra Mattes, Ultra Satins, Matte Xs, and eyeshadows. I’ve already placed another order because I love it all.
Most loved product must go to my colourpop Shock shadows. Had a last minute, emergency trip with about 20 minutes to pack for my family of 5. Grabbed the colourpop bc I can use without brushes, kept me looking presentable during a crazy 36 hours.
Most used, i prime my eyes Mac Painterly Paint Pot everyday (except that aforementioned trip), also been using my Avon BB cream often bc my Smashbox foundation has started pooling in my pores. ?
Discovered: my Ulta purchase arrived yesterday, I bought 2 of the gel liners during the 21 days and they switched well. The test spot of the brown is still on my hand even though I washed brushes after trying it. (Didn’t actually try to remove it yet but had soap and water all over my hands) Also bought the It cosmetics your skin but better pressed powder, tried it today, underwhelmed.
What’s been in your rotation the most this week? The Balm Balm Appetit Palette because it’s new. So far, I like it a lot. The neutrals are pretty, there are so great matte crease shades for me, the grays don’t turn muddy on me, and the orange shimmer is to die for. Lancome Teint Idole 24H Long Lasting Foundation in Ivoire 140 (N) mixed with a little white (monthly cystic acne attack in progress). Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick, because I’m not fond of it, but I keep it. So I decided I should wear it. I like the color better than I remember, so maybe my body chemistry is changing. It seemed less rusty colored now.
What caught your eye? New ABH liquid lipsticks; New KVD Studded Kiss and ELL shades;
Oh, the questions got changed from when I started writing. Oops!
My skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.

Most loved product of the week (and last week and the week before that 🙂 ): butter London Serum Shadow in Maplewood. This over the Dr. Perricone No Eyeshadow Eyeshadow has been my go-to look. A couple of days, I added a little color/shimmer (Nudestix Queen Olive, Burberry Rosewood, or Bobbi Brown Burnt Sugar) in the corner of my eyes or patted over top. I bought the Rose color in the serum shadow yesterday at Ulta and was pleasantly surprised that they are on sale. If they still are tomorrow, I may get a few more colors!
