No makeup worn this week. I am staying home so much that putting on makeup hasn’t been even on my radar. I just placed an order with Clionadh shadow and while I won’t get them until November, I am really excited about them and if nothing else has impacted my “current situation depression” , I know that they will do the trick. I also picked up one of the blushes which I am almost more excited by than the shadows. I picked up 19 shadows, most for my daughter for her Advent Calendar but a couple for me. I know they are not likely to look that good on my old, wrinkly eye lids but I think they are going to be fun to play with and I don’t really care what anyone else thinks!

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Look you loved this week?: nothing really stands out
Any new or old favorites discovered?: I started using a matte brown GOSH liner pencil – I used to use it all the time and then put it aside in favour of my beloved Sephora Cappuccino. But this week, I just felt like using a matte liner – go figure!
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: OH BABY…..I just found (for $13) a NARS Old Church Street eyeshadow duo. When the Charlotte Gainsbourg duos came out, I got Rue Allent but demurred on Old Church Street because of the quality of the right side/blackened teal, and also because these are just pricey babies in Canada. But for $12 – easy choice. They also had Alhambra but I couldn’t see what colour it was (I can now that I’m home and might go back to get it) and also Habanera, which I have and which is so beautiful and unique that I nearly bought it anyway! So, with autumn sort of coming and with eyes pretty much the only thing on display, I am hoping to use it this coming week.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Look you loved this week?: As I was wearing a teal top, I decided to feature teal in my eyeshadow look.
I pulled out Lancome’s Sparkling Intoxication – used the soft gold on my lids, with the teal shade on my lower lid and the soft green in the crease. I paired it with my new Battery Park Bronze lipstick (in the house) by Laura Geller.

Any new or old favorites discovered?: Yes, the Lancome quint of Sparkling Intoxication.

Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: I want to use Lancome’s Jade Fever a bit more too. It has a lovely set of green shades in it.

Look you loved this week?: I finally got around to trying everything I purchased from the Colourpop x Mulan collection. I started with “Undefeated” all over the lid, blended “Loyal” into the inner lid, and finished off with “Strike a Match” in the inner corner. On my cheeks I just had the powder blush in “Good Luck Charm”. On the lips I layered the Lux Liquid Lip in “Strong Chi” with the Lux Gloss in “Phoenix” on top

Any new or old favorites discovered?: I quite liked what I’ve used of the Colourpop x Mulan palette so far. It’s hard for me to find reds that don’t make me look sickly, and I’m not opposed to putting glitters in the eye area so that isn’t an issue for me. I went on a Zoom call after filming my first impressions video and got lots of compliments

Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: I pulled out my Colourpop x Safiya Nygaard Lux Lipstick in “Fred” to use in my next video
