20121125 Sunday FOTD!

I wanted to show a more preferential look this week; I'm no fan of heavy makeup personally, but it's fine for other people. As long as it doesn't look to outrageous I suppose.
What I used:
FACE
MAYBELLINE DREAM FRESH BB IN DEEP SHEER TINT
MINERAL VEIL BY BARE ESCENTUALS
MATTIFYING POWDER BY SEPHORA IN D50

EYES
FALSE LASHES FROM C-TECH
SMASHBOX FULL EXPOSURE MASCARA

LIPS
BENEFIT'S BENETINT, ROSY CHEEK AND LIP TINT

Surprisingly enough, I'm really not wearing any eye shadow; that's my eyelid's natural coloring! don't like it for when I want to wear certain colors becase it may distort their vivacity or tone them down, but I can always use primer or get surgery to fix it (not something I want to do, I just don't want my lids to be so dark). I learned somethings when I went in post to pick a picture for today: I am hereby banishing that bb cream to the back of my makeup basket. It's too dark. I noticed this initially when I'd put only the bb cream on and my face was two tones darker than my neck and well, I tried to fix it with the mineral veil but I just made it worse! Oh well, maybe I just use the lighter shade after all. I like using the benetint but I don't think I'll be able to use it all by time it expires; it's less than a half ounce and it really did turn out to be too much.

Next week I'm doing an FOTD featuring all of my recent e.l.f. buys; want to know the verdict on the cruelty-free cosmetic line? Tune in next Sunday!

 

Shop Love: Teaser 4/5.

Apply a dab of this timeless rouge, and slip on your favorite fit-and-flare dress, and you’ll be ready for any fabulous event the day may bring your way."

       I'm a glutton for a good cheek tint so when I saw this I just had to share it. I'm mostly a fan of rouge and deep plum tints, but with time I think I can become more open to using other bold colors like deep oranges.. This particular tint is about 21.00USD, but I've hear that it lasts too long to make a fuss about the price. I'll be the judge of that! And while this beauty venture is underway, keep your eyes peeled for the final installment of this week's 'Shop Love' segment! You won't believe all the goodies this store has on hand~
