The boy and I went out last night for our Valentine's Day dinner (early, I know--that's how we do it!), so I had to pull out Chanel Dragon for a little night out on the town! :) Every time I wear it, I feel like I'm totally made out of awesome,...
What's your biggest makeup purchase you regret?Share!
.
Maybe MAC Mineralize Satinfinish, which I bought years ago and returned 2 days after I bought it.
Thanks to Dusty for this question!
I gotta tell you, this look was a pain in the behind to photograph. You just can't see as much color variation in the close-up photos as you typically can. I took photos in a different spot in my house than I normally do (on the floor, ha), so I won't be...
Chanel In Love Blush ($42.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a dirty coral-peach with soft, golden shimmer. It can be applied softly or built up in intensity for a bolder cheek. I've found Chanel blushes to be extremely smooth and silky and have a tendency to...

Benefit Jing-a-Ling Lipstick ($18.00) is a creamy, mostly neutral pink with golden shimmer. Depending on what I wear it with, I've found it can look more blue-pink or yellow-pink. It looks semi-opaque when applied to my lips, but it does noticeably...
Do you use any homemade/DIY beauty products?If so, which ones?

Nope... I am too lazy to DIY stuff!
Thanks to Miss Silk for this question!

What brand/product wins this category? Any particular reason it wins?
Bobbi Brown Nectar Shimmerbrick ($38.00 for 0.4 oz.) is new for spring--part of the Cabana Corals Collection--and is a coral lover's dream. If you love Shimmerbricks and have an affinity for corals and bronzed golds, I think this just may be a new...
Brrr, it was FREEZING (!) today here in California. Of course, freezing here is 55 degrees, but I swear, it felt way colder! I was happy with how this looked turned out; I hadn't initially planned on putting Wonderland...
What was your favorite makeup collection of all time? A spring collection from years ago? A holiday collection that stole your heart?

Mmm, MAC Moonbathe is probably my all-time favorite...
Thanks to Aramis for this question!
A tarnished gold, smoky eye... for school? Sure, why not! Let's go with that. Wanted to post this before I ran off to class in a few... that is, if I don't fall asleep before it's time to go! Must. Press. On!
By the way, anyone else going to the Spring Colour...
Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner ($9.99) is a gel eyeliner that comes in a glass pot with a screw-on lid. Lasting Drama is currently available in four shades: Black, Brown, Grey, and Plum. I've only tried...
Dolce & Gabbana Nude (#10) Blush ($44.00) is the softest peach-beige. This is a lovely way to accent cheeks for barely-there color!
This was actually a particularly difficult color to capture, because on my skin tone, the color melds and blends in...
For spring, SpaRitual has created a collection of six shades: Yes, I Can (leafy green creme), I Believe in You (poppy orange creme), Hope Springs Eternal (hot pink shimmer), Spread Your Wings...
What order do you apply your makeup? Eyes first? Foundation first?

Eyeshadow, foundation, eyeliner, mascara, blush, loose powder, and then lips!
Thanks to Diane for this question!
Here's a quick look I did using two of the new Benefit eyeshadows, plus one of Urban Decay's new Stardust eyeshadows (to be reviewed in full later). Really loving the way Dolce & Gabbana Nude Blush looks, though. Pain in the behind to photograph a swatch of it, but boy is it...
Bobbi Brown EXTRA SPF 25 Tinted Moisturizing Balm ($50.00 for 1 oz.) is a thick tinted moisturizer that comes in a glass pot with a black screw-on lid. It's available in eight shades: Alabaster (lightest), Extra Light Tint, Light...
MAC Hue Lipstick ($14.00) is a soft, played down pinky-nude with a creamy finish and subtle sheen. It's semi-opaque; it gives my lips a decent amount of coverage, but it will definitely look a little pinker on more pigmented lips. Hue is really...
Benefit Spring 2010 Eyeshadows ($18.00 each) come in six, limited edition varieties: Bo Peep, Buns, Nice Melons, Shamrocker, Mermaid, and Fancy Pansy. They're new and only available for a limited time, unfortunately, but they are perfect spring-friendly...
