Spring Makeup: Quick Chanel Les Impressions de Chanel Eyes & Lips

Spring Makeup: Quick Chanel Les Impressions de Chanel Eyes & Lips

This is a quick & dirty look--seriously, like ten minutes or less--using Chanel's spring collection. I love the lips more than the eyes, but what else is new?  I think next time I use this quad, I'm going to try a shimmery gold base.  Hmm.

Happy Monday!! (Yes, I'm sick and twisted... Mondays are...

Holiday Makeup: Gold & Cranberry + Bold Lips (or Bronze Lips!)

Holiday Makeup: Gold & Cranberry + Bold Lips (or Bronze Lips!)

This is almost like a two-for-one kind of look, because I took photos of two [drastically] different lip combinations -- the first is a deeper plummy red and the second more of a bronzy nude. I wanted to try out some of the products I've reviewed lately, so that's where I tried to draw inspiration...

Holiday Makeup: Office Party Neutrals

Holiday Makeup: Office Party Neutrals

So here's a tip about using all matte eyeshadows (or matte products in general): make sure you're exfoliated and well-moisturized. My eyelids were a touch dry on the inner lid, and the mattes really enhanced that dryness. The same thing is true if you have drier skin and opt for a matte finish...

Look: Bobbi Brown Earth Metal Palette & Pewter Eyeshadow

Look: Bobbi Brown Earth Metal Palette & Pewter Eyeshadow

I really wanted to use Bobbi Brown's Pewter Chrome Eyeshadow, and I figured I might as well incorporate her Earth Metal Palette, too... so, I did! Let me tell you one thing about pewter-colored eyeshadow: it can be difficult figuring out how to pair cheeks and lips with it!

You will need the...

Look - Red Lips with Chanel Dragon

Look - Red Lips with Chanel Dragon

I did this look last night before we went out for my (early) birthday dinner at my favorite restaurant! I knew I wanted to take Chanel's Dragon out for a night on the town, so it was all about the lips for this look ;)

I hope your Saturday has been wonderful so far! I'm feeling a bit under the...

Look - Quick 5 Neutral Minute Eyes

Look - Quick 5 Neutral Minute Eyes

This is my incredibly easy and super fast natural/neutral eye. No matter what the occasion is, this eye is always appropriate, which makes it really useful to have in my back pocket. (Particularly useful on days when I can't come up with anything else!)

You will need the following...

  • Eyes: Soft...

Look - Bright Future Sunset

Look - Bright Future Sunset

I did this look yesterday :) Just trying to use Bright Future from Style Warrior & make it work for me! It's better than the last round, but in truth, it doesn't top Going Bananas or Bright Sunshine -- I'd prefer both of those over Bright Future. I find Chrome Yellow to be hard to wear, because...

Look - Quick & Dirty Style Warrior Yellow & Brown Look

Look - Quick & Dirty Style Warrior Yellow & Brown Look

This was a really quick Style Warrior look I put together the other day. I don't think Night Manoeuvers is a very flattering color on me -- at least in this pairing! I think I could wear it in a more gray/purple kind of look. I was attempting to only use Style Warrior products, so, there ya have...

HAPPY FRIDAY! We made it to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans coming up! I'll be spending my Friday afternoon...
