Darling Heart Breaker FOTD

I got the new Sugarpill Heart Breaker palette, and I am in love! I am not normally a very colorful person, but I have been having fun experimenting with this palette. I have all three Sugarpill palettes swatched and ready to post soon, along with some other colorful looks.

I am totally in love with Revlon Balm Stains as well. I plan on doing a look with the ones I got and posting them over the next two weeks. Swatches will be coming too.

Flushed Summer Honey FOTD

I am using my Too Faced Summer Eye again, Revlon Flushed Photoready blush, and Honey Kissable Balm Stain. The Photoready blushes are nicely buildable and dry to a powder finish. I am really liking the Balm Stains so far, but Honey is a touch drier than Charm. They leave color for about 5 hours on me, but the gloss lasts more like1 or 2 hours. Here I used a separate gloss over the stain.

Summer Eye FOTD

I was sitting down to try a few new things out, and I thought they looked pretty together.

I decided to take pictures and swatches since there seemed to be a theme happening.

Terrible swatches due to circumstances beyond my control (why does so much of my life involve cleaning up poop?)

I purchased the Too Faced Summer Eye palette with great reservation. I heard rumors of glitter and fallout, both of which I detest. The gorgeous color combination and adorably gaudy packaging kept calling my name though. So far, I love it!

Pink and Peach: The Drugstore Edition

I have a purchasing pattern.

Can you spot my need for order and balance?

One pink, one peach.

I haven't tested everything properly yet, but here are swatches:

Do you have a purchasing pattern? A color weakness?

Chanel Rivière FOTD

I saw swatches of the new Chanel Illusion d'Ombre released overseas, and I was smitten. Luckily I was able to order Rivière from Strawberrynet, and I didn't have to miss out on this gorgeous pale mint shade. I like to use the Illusion D'Ombres over eyeshadow to add dimension and sparkle.
I also recently got Guerlain Les Aquas to satisfy my want for shimmery blue and turquoise colors. It is beautiful, and if you have the chance to still get it, do it! I love Guerlain's reformulated quads. They have a nice firm but pigmented texture. The colors are all varied enough to make a complete look from each palette. It also helps that the packaging is gorgeous.
