I like YSL's Touche Eclat, but it goes bad so quickly! I'm testing out Benefit's new one right now, so far so good. I also like Eve Pearl's Salmon Concealer, but it can sometimes be a little *too* creamy.

Dior DiorShow Extase Mascara
Dior DiorShow Extase Mascara ($28.00) is the latest variation on the famous Dior DiorShow Mascara. It seems like it's exclusively available at Sephora for the time being, and Sephora describes the new mascara as:

Dark Neutrals: Smoky Brown Eyes
This is probably my last look dedicated to MAC's Warm & Cozy Collection. I'm pretty sure my next look is going to use some *color* as the past few have all been fairly neutral, given the theme of Warm & Cozy. I've never been a huge fan of using super dark bases...

Laura Mercier Naked Rose Lip Velvet
Laura Mercier Naked Rose Lip Velvet ($22.00) is a brick-brown nude. Like Mocha Rouge, the color is difficult to describe, but it's most certainly not what I'd think of when I read "Naked Rose." (I would have expected a pink-y shade, maybe a beige-y pink!)

More Natural Makeup with MAC Warm & Cozy
Here's another simple look I did with Warm & Cozy. There's really not much to it! I just wanted something easy, functional, and neutral. I thought about wearing By Candlelight in this look, but MAC's mineralize products tend to break me out, so I didn't want...

Going Gray? Chanel Particuliere Nail Lacquer
Last week, I reviewed the majority of Chanel's Spring collection, which includes three new nail lacquers, but I only reviewed Inattendu and Tendresse and was missing Particuliere ($23.00), which is easily the more interesting shade of the three (Inattendu...
