Look - Soft Neutrals for Thanksgiving

Look - Soft Neutrals for Thanksgiving

I did this look for Thanksgiving -- something natural and simple, but still noticeable :) I did my makeup today for the first time since Thanksgiving, and it was horrible and felt SO, SO very unnatural.  I was like, "Wow!  Talk about rusty!"  By the by, I used Too Faced's Shadow Insurance for the...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Harmony, Admire, & Devotion

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Harmony, Admire, & Devotion

Harmony is a rich royal purple shade with lots of shimmer and a lovely finish. You won't have trouble with brush strokes with this one; it applies better than the average Romantique color does. The shade itself is a great purple--there's no blue or pink cast to it; it's just purple.

Admire is...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Awaken, Adore, & Cherish

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Awaken, Adore, & Cherish

Awaken is a deep metallic gray color; not a black-gray, but not a medium or light gray. I like that it casts darker depending on how the light hits it.

Adore is hard to say no to, because who can resist such a perfect jewel-toned teal? I also really loved how well this one applied: smoothly...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Delight, Emotion, & Joy

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Delight, Emotion, & Joy

Delight is a deeper, burnished brown with a little bit of metallic copper in its undertones. I found this one applied better than the majority of the polishes--it felt thicker, but not too loose.

Emotion is a fun, girly pink. There's just no other way to describe it! It's very feminine and...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Passion, Magical, Poetic

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Passion, Magical, Poetic

Passion is a antique gold, very lovely -- and as you can see in the swatch, very easy to over-apply because of the looseness of the polish formula. You really have to use thin coats and then do two or three for the perfect manicure.

Magical is a taupe-y brown shade. There's almost a little bit...

Calvin Klein Delicious Light Glistening Lip Gloss in Taffy, Knockout, & Radar

Remember I told you about my love for Calvin Klein's Maven Lip Gloss?  I wasn't joking!  I picked up three more of these glosses at Sephora--and of course, I didn't even use my $15 off coupon.  I was too impatient to go home and get it!  The colors I bought were Taffy, Knockout, and Radar.  I...
