NYX Glitter Pallet is available in a number of colors online from Cherry Culture or in store at Ulta. This is from the Paradise pallet.

I got my hair cut today, and it surely needed it! Everywhere I went, someone mentioned how well they liked my eye makeup. The pink glitter is very becoming.

Eyes:
Base: Dior pink toned cream shadow
Crease: NYX Glitter Pallet Pink — bright bubble gum color with multi light pastel glitter
Outer Corner: NYX GP Dark Black with Multi Glitter
Lined top in waterline: Mary Kay black eye pencil
Lined bottom in waterline with MAC graphblack, just outside with earthline
Drylined bottom outside MAC: Ulta Jade mineral powder looks green, pulls gold from the glitter
Mascara:
Top: Lancome Cils primer, Oscillation over it;
Bottom: Definicils
Blush: MAC Dollymix
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Highlight: my own shimmer powder mix, no time for anything else, topped with a bit on BE on my nose

Lips:
Revlon Wine with everything cream gloss
This is a very pretty color. I thought I might want to add silver glitter, but it has a gleam all its own. This is the formula I liked so well.

Again, I used DuWop Reverse Liner just to make sure it wouldn’t migrate, but I don’t know that I needed to. It’s still going strong a couple of hours later.

Verdict:
I raced through trying this product for the first time in order to be on time for my hair cut. You can see how it went on uneven. The pallet has great colors and I will definitely try it again. It comes with 1 applicator with sponges on each end and 1 applicator that has a sponge on one end and a brush on the other. I don’t see how you could use the brush. The product is suspended in a heavy gel. It’s not particularly waxy, but it means the glitter stays put.

I used my finger to apply it because nothing else worked.

One reviewer talked about using this as liner and having to go over it several times to get it even, but that it lasted all night. I have other glitter liners that are a lot easier to use. I don’t know that I would try this as liner. Maybe! She talked about using it on her face, arms, decolletage, etc.

I need to play with it some more, but meantime I look good enough to race around town anyway!

What do you think?

Finding a color that works for blonds that isn’t too dark or too yellow, is a trick.

Here are some favorites of mine that were collected over time:

Top to bottom:
Powder: Merle Norman — Perfect shades when mixed and matched together;
Pencils: Chanel, Clinique, La Prairie, Prescriptives (love the tiny diameter and the tiny brush, also that it feeds up and doesn’t need to be sharpened — comes in only two colors), Mary Kay, Tova, Avon, Revlon (this tends to be darker) (packaging has changed now, but has gel at one end.)

Swatches:
Generally, brow pencils are harder. They draw well on the brow, not so well without a brow bone behind them. La Prairie is not pictured, it wouldn’t draw and just made my skin red, sorry about that! Then the red showed through some of the other colors, so look at the bottom.

Left to right: Powder:
Merle Norman lighter color (barely visible on skin, but shows up well on brow), then deeper color; Pencils: Chanel, Clinique, Mary Kay, Tova, Avon, Prescriptives, Revlon first without gel, then with gel.

Do you have any other colors or brands that you particularly like?

I did this look yesterday, but I didn’t have time to post it. I was very pleased with how it turned out and felt I looked great all day. All my pictures turned out well too, so it is difficult to pick the ones to show! I have no idea what I’m going to do with my eyes yet for today.

Eyes:
Brand New Mary Kay Spring 2009 Luminous Color Blue, Brown, Green in single square pan $15 This isn’t even in their online catalog yet!
Cost for compact if you want one $18
Lime green on lid
Brown in crease and on outer corners — pretty, fairly light shade

Lined eyes:
Turquoise Blue as bright liner on top and outside of the MAC pencils on the bottom
Bottom Lined: MAC graphblack on waterline; earthline below that
Top lined at edge of waterline from underneath Sephora bright turquoise waterproof flashy liner pencil

Mascara: Stiletto on top; Lancome on bottom.

Brows: Merle Norman powder. You can see how well it covers. It’s a great shade!

Lips: NYX Round Gloss Queen of Africa

Blush:
I tried a really fun thing for the first time. I have a multitude of lip pencils that I rarely use. I decided to take one of them and use it as a blush. I used Jordana Magenta. This is a very inexpensive pencil I bought at the drug store several years ago. I just don’t wear such strong magentas as lippies for the most part any more, so it sits unused.

Technique: I drew a fairly good sized swatch on the end of my index finger. I added one tiny drop of moisturizer and smooshed it together with my other index finger. I then applied this on my cheek bones.

I love the color and will definitely do this again and with other colors.

I felt like wearing turquoise on my eyes today, and outside of the Summer set by Mary Kay, my go-to for turquoise is Aromaleigh. Kristen has beautiful shades of greens, turquoises and teals, and I probably have most of them, at least in sample sizes, which are quite long lasting. They are vibrant and beautiful, if you are on a quest for this color.

I also felt like doing a 5 min makeup today, which I did. The only reason it took longer is because I kept thinking of things I wanted to take pictures of, such as the Chanel container and my powder. So I would digress to that. Aromaleigh is really fool proof. Easy to apply; always looks great and lasts all day. I knew I could do a 5 min makeup with AL. And I had a busy, busy day today, meetings, errands, music lesson, pick and delivery to school and more.

In all honesty, there were two things I meant to do and got sidetracked: concealer, and some of the new Arbonne white shadow in the inner corners of my eyes. That would have taken 30 sec. I just forgot.

Eyes: all Aromaleigh, except where noted
Base: Nude Frost, then BE Queen Phyllis
Lids: Azure
Drylined Top: Aqua Nightmare (love this color!)
Drylined bottom: Caribe, just a touch more blue
Mascara: Stiletto
Tightlined top: NYX pen black
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation: L’Oreal True Match, N1 Soft Ivory While it looks like this foundation covers well, when applying it, I’m a little disappointed in how sheer it looks in the pictures. I like my skin to show through, but I like it a little less sheer. I will likely use this more as a highlighter in the future, if I try it again, and it is equally sheer.
Rouge under my sparkly mix of powder: Chanel stick
Blush over: Arbonne Promise
Hightlight: Arbonne Bashful lightest blush

Lips: CG 912+928 + Stila Silver Mix
First: Guerlain liplift primer and conditioner and all round magic product
912 and 928 are plumping colors
1/2 and 1/2 each color, one on each lip, smooshed; then Stila-Silver Mix gloss when some of the lippie was gone to refresh it…this lipstick (928) is the one that hurt my lips after using it exclusively for months. After using every lip balm known to man and still having problems wearing anything on my lips, I remembered I had the Liplift. It fixed the problem with one application. I now have one in my purse and in the bathroom. And I made sure I used it before these colors. I never felt the product sting my lips. 912 is a particularly pretty soft shade. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll show it alone.

What do you think?
Do you like to use plumping lipsticks or teals and turquoises for shadows? What is your favorite AL color?

Kristen’s birthday is coming up and she’d love to have people participate in nominating her business. See the info here.

I wanted to try applying the Arbonne colors in the manner shown in the catalog for the Smoky Eye look, so I decided to do the colors again today. Next time I will use a sparkly light powder after the base so the colors go on smoother. I know what works for me, but once in a while I like to work outside the box.

Eyes: Arbonne unless noted
Base:Nude Frost (not Arbonne)
Entire lid: Linen
Shaped lid: Mix of Inkling and Smudge (navy and brown)
Centered over pupil: Bronzy shade, so there is some gleam
Wetlined top and lower: Eclipse pencil, smudged with foam end of pencil
Drylined top and lower: Inkling
Inner Corners: Illume (white)
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Mascara: Arbonne, 2 in 1
Concealer: Yes, forget which

Primer: Avon
Foundation: La Prairie
Rouge: Chanel stick
Powder: Guerlain meteorites, then Lancome pwder fdn on my nose, then my sparkly mix over all because it looked too matte

Lip: Clinique Goodness Grapecious Vitamin C lip smoothie + Gleam gloss + Silver sparkly gloss mixed with blush shine Mixed a bit with my finger, then whatever was on my finger put on my cheeks.

I’m not sure why it looks like there is a line with no color in it. That doesn’t show in RL.

What do you think?

When I work with colors this dark, I need to be very careful as I’m more fair than I look. That is one reason why I never use a darker eyeshadow base to intensify colors. The colors are intense enough already on me. I like the look a lot. Tomorrow I will start with a softer sparkly base before I begin. Stay tuned!

I received my Arbonne order yesterday. I ordered (and received) 1 more eye shadow to complete my shadow box, as well as tinted moisturizer, so I wanted to try them out, even though I had thought to do AL mineral foundation spritzing the brush with water — will do that tomorrow or lighten the tinted moisturizer in one step.

FYI is Arbonne’s line for teens or young adults (“young individuals”), but the products are suitable for all ages. There are tinted moisturizers; glosses; cream shadows (not in a tube); and 4 different fragrances in shower gel, small spray, body cream, and sugar scrub. I tried the fragrances because, as you know, I love fragrance. More on those in another post. Shari told me how much she loves the tinted moisturizer, so I decided to try it. It looks good on her!

Eyes: Arbonne, except where noted, using new eye shape.
Base: Nude Frost (not Arbonne)(cream in a pot)
Lids: First used the soft gray (I think it might be matte). Then used lime green on top of the gray and alone under lower lash line. I wanted to know if the soft gray looked good by itself (it did) and whether it showed up enough (it did.) And I felt it would deepen the impact of the lime. (It did.) In a way it was like using a dark base instead of a skin tone one, but instead of it being cream, it was powder. In RL it looks more lime than it does in the picture.
Crease: Used lighter purple at top edges.
Mascara: Arbonne, 2 step
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Wet lined left lower: Sephora White; right lower: MAC white — the MAC is much whiter and brighter; for a more natural look, choose the Sephora, for a more highlighted look, choose the MAC.
Lined top and lower: Tidal Wave, gel liner (not Arbonne) — This is just a beautiful blue and blends nicely with the lime.
Lined again top and lower: Lancome Micro Palettes — white (but really sheer) with silver — I like this to drift down and around under my eyes some to extend the optical illusion of my eyes.
Concealer: Guerlain

Primer: Forgot
Foundation: Arbonne FYI Light tinted moisturizer — this is a neat product that came recommended by Shari. It is a tad too dark on me. Comparing it to the Arbonne foundation that I use, the foundation is a tad lighter and pinker. I think this would be sufficient foundation and moisture for a lot of people. I used the RE9 moisturizer first.
Highlight all over face: Chanel liquid — this made it a tad lighter — could accomplish the same thing by mixing with regular moisturizer before applying or by mixing this with the tinted moisturizer and applying as one step.
Powder: My sparkly mix
Blush: Arbonne, light pink
Highlight: Guerlain Butterfly perles — got it as a gwp — really great color!
Bronzer: Arbonne — Shari uses this on top of the tinted moisturizer (she uses light-medium tinted moisturizer, 1 shade darker than me.) I’m not sure if she uses powder or if the bronzer is her powder. Shari? The bronzer comes in a large solid compact, but applies softer than the SCA hyaluronic powder, which is very hard so it is difficult to get much product.

Update: Sherri says:

I always use powder to set my makeup and then I bronze.

Lips: Arbonne Prep and Plump Gleam + MAC lip liner, more at my LOTD post.

I’m happy with the look. It takes me longer to write it up than it does to apply it.

Do you use a tinted moisturizer?
Mary Kay makes a very nice one too. My MK consultant uses tinted moisturizer under her MK mineral foundation. It looks good on her.

If you use tinted moisturizer, do you use it with your regular moisturizer or by itself as the only moisturizer?

To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don’t have a representative, just ask.

Success! I tried the new eye shape today. I didn’t forget, even though I went to bed at 4 am because of the Harry Potter movie. I was really happy with how it turned out, and I believe it will become second nature. It’s interesting to me that out of all the makeovers I’ve ever had, this is the only MUA who has ever done this eye shape, and it works for me.

I really sped through this because I slept in some, then sadly had a funeral to attend.

Eye colors:
Base: Nude Frost
Lid colors: Mary Kay light purple (still doesn’t show up on me) then mixed on the brush with the deeper purple too — then it showed up
Adding a touch of Chanel colors from two different quads, all in the purple range. Used mostly for dry lining top and bottom. (Irreels — grape/pearl/blackberry/iris; Ors Violines — orchid/marigold/mauve/copper frost — brighter pallette)
Wetlined bottom: MAC white pencil
Mascara: Stiletto
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Primer: Laura Mercier
Base: Chanel, discontinued — I think I’m on my last drops!
Rouge under and over my sparkly mix of powder: MAC

Lips: easy, easy — straight up MAC Via Venetta, a dazzle gloss available only from Nordstroms, limited edition, gorgeous orchid purple gloss on a clear base.

Later in the day I got my hair trimmed again, and it looks so much better! Too bad I didn’t take the pictures tonight instead of this morning.

What say you?

Mary Kay Look Book
I got the new Look Book which features new shades and so many pretty looks. I’ll say this for Mary Kay — their models and makeup looks are really fashionable. This time they had a page which could be cut in 1/4s with the picture on one side and the products on the other.

That inspired me to do one (or more) of the looks, but loosely interpreted, because while some of the looks looked as if they had used cool colors, they were really using warm colors as the base and crease which I knew would not look the same on me. And one where only Lilac was used, I know would not be defined enough for my eyes. That model was dark complected so it showed up on her skin.

I ended up combining three looks. And it was very fast once I got the idea.

Eyes:
Base: Beauticontrol Pink
Crease: MK Lilac — this is the one that didn’t show up the last time I used it — today I kept applying until I could see it.
Outer Corners and a bit in crease: Blue Metal I can wear these slate colors well.
Drylined top and bottom: combination of Iris and Sweet Plum
Mascara: Stiletto
Concealer: Dior Skinflash + Arbonne
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Primer: Guerlain Meteorites
Foundation: Arbonne
My usual rouge and sparkly powder + Guerlains Meteorites powder for bronzer.
Blush: MK Petals (frosted) and Strawberry Cream (no frost) mixed together — I accidentally ordered SC — I was going to go back and forth from Petals and Shy Blush (both frosted) but it has worked well to mix. Sometimes it is serendipity — and not a mistake!
Highlight: Arbonne Promise mixed with Bashful along cheeks and across whole face lightly

Lips: AL Karma
such a pretty color!

Thanks for looking! Be sure to leave a comment.

Miranda inspired me to use the same MK colors that she had. Of course, I ended up tweaking it…I felt the sweet plum would be too dark and I’d accomplish the same look using Iris.

These would usually be colors I’d head back to for fall. But it made me feel cooler, even if the temps were way up there! I feel I’d like to revisit the MK summer collection again, with the turquoise and browns. Maybe tomorrow!

Eyes: All Mary Kay, except where noted
Base: Nude Frost (not MK)
Lids: Crystalline, for some shimmer; then Dusty Lilac to get some purple, but it didn’t show up
Crease: Steel
Outer corners + some in crease: Iris
Drylined top and bottom: Sweet Plum
Mascara: Arbonne 2 step
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Primer: SCA;
Foundation: Arbonne
Rouge under powder: Chanel stick
Powder: my sparkly mix, then Guerlain meteorites as bronzer
Blush: MK Shy Blush
Highlight all over: Arbonne Promise (the darker shade of blush that I bought, not the one I usually use to highlight) — I wanted to pink it up some.
Concealer: Arbonne + Dior skinflash

Lips: Arbonne Copper Sheer and Shine, straight up, strongly, so I could show a picture
I know, it likely doesn’t go with lilac, but it does go with the plum which is a warm shade — and rules are made to be broken. Plus I knew I’d be using other lippies as the day went on.

Thanks for looking!

Today I was doing some more organizing — putting all my magenta-type lippies in one place and putting my Meow samples by colors. Then I marked them all by their descriptions. I have a disproportionate number of Meow purples and lavenders, though I like to wear those colors. I did have 2 grays and one taupe (which looked green in the ziplock.) That’s how I saw and decided what colors to wear. I started with the lipstick, knowing I wanted to wear that again, plus the enhancer I beaded for my daughter’s newest bright green pendant (I’m wearing it). Then I saw the Meow colors and knew I was hooked for today.

Eyes: all Meow except where noted, in the order of application
Crease: Taupe — this looked green in the bag; looks taupe on, though it pulls some lavender in the pictures — I didn’t put any lavender into it except possibly at the lowest point of the crease
Inner corners: Misdemeanor VandalEyes — citrus green with gold — love this green!
Outer corners: Jessica R ScandalEyes grape

This is sort of the look I get when I do my mascara, as I tilt my head back and look in a hand held mirror to do the top lashes. Only this picture was taken when totally finished. You can see the gradience of the colors.

Mascara: top, Guerlain; lower:Tarte
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Lined lower: Mary Kay Tahitian Gold (love this color!)
Tight lined top and wetlined lower: Venomous gel liner (the purple that BookGirl liked so well)
Drylined top: Tongue Tied IdealEyes Deep Smoky Plum

No concealer

Sunscreen Neutragena, on face; La Prairie, on my neck
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation: Chanel, discontinued
No highlighting
Rouge (under my sparkly powder mix) Maybelline Rose Petal Mousse
Blush (over) NARS Riviera stick

Lips: Beauticontrol Perfect Azalea topped with BE Buxom Dominique gloss (clear with white, light blue and silver micro shimmer) — BookGirl likes this — I used to wear it a lot.

What I think
When I compare this to yesterday’s look, I like the teal greens (better?) but I do like this look and will wear it again. If I don’t compare it, I think, good look! Plus I’ve had several compliments on the lippie, which I need to begin to wear more often again. It’s one of their older colors when they color coordinated everything to your season, not that I could wear all the colors that were supposedly mine.

What do you think?

Today I was busy sorting and organizing. I only did my makeup about 5 mins ago. The theme makeup this week at AL is to use Snapdragon (beautiful blue pink)(I’m not sure I’ve ever used this before) with Aqua Nightmare (one of my favorite colors.)

If you can’t have fun with makeup, when can you?! I got the idea to reverse my eyes, sort of like combining all my posts from last week. It looked strange at first, but I figured my liner would tie it all together. I am really happy with it now.

Eyes: all Aromaleigh unless noted, in order of application
Base: Nude Frost
Crease: Lagoon matte
Outer corner of one eye and inner corner of the other (and reverse drylined on bottom): Snapdragon, then vice versa for Aqua Nightmare
Tight lined top and wet lined lower: Peacock gel liner — using back end of brush only.
Inner corners: Snapdragon
Drylined top only: Moonagedaydream
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Mascara, top: Guerlain; lower: Tarte
Concealer: Mary Kay

Sunscreen: La Prairie
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation: Chanel, discontinued
Rouge under powder: Revlon , cream
Powder: My sparkly mix, then SCA Hyaluronic with stiff Guerlain brush
Blush over powder: EL Pinkshimmer, then NARS Riviera as it didn’t have enough color

Lips: AL Karma on one lip; Gala on the other; smooshed; rimmed with Beauté Allure

Sometimes for me, thinking about what colors I want to go toward takes more time than the execution. I knew I wanted to coordinate with the new pendants my artist daughter made for me for Mother’s Day, so I knew I was aiming toward purples and gray.

But I started out thinking Aromaleigh — then I thought, wait a minute, I’ve got Meow that I haven’t worn for a while. So I started with Meow. I bought a lot of samples from Meow, but I don’t think I bought a gray. It’s hard to tell sometimes in the ziplock what color it will pull on the eye, so I need to mark the darker shades so I know, but I haven’t done that yet.

I don’t know the differences in the formula of Meow shadows (which is more frosty/glittery) so if someone knows, pls comment. I am going to put them in larger ziplocks by colors, as I have done with the AL, rather than keeping them by formula. I think I can just mix and match.

Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost
Lids: Meow Lazy Purrl IdealEyes (this pulled bluer than I expected)
Crease: Meow Prowl ModernEyes
Dry lined top and lower: Jessica R ScandalEyes
Crease: AL Avalon Rocks! Sonic Eyes (soft, medium gray) to pop the crease more
Lids: Debbie L ScandalEyes — to bring it more into the purples again
Tight lined top and wet lined lower: Venomous gel liner — using back end of brush only — BookGirl exclaimed that she just loved this color on me, that it really popped my eyes. It may look black in the photo (as it looked in the bathroom mirror) but in RL it is a sort of Periwinkle color.
Inner corners: Tanzanite gel liner — this looks like a lighter version of Black Cherry.

Brows: Merle Norman powder
Mascara, top: Guerlain; lower: Tarte.
Concealer: Dior Skinflash

Sunscreen: La Prairie
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation: Chanel, discontinued
Rouge under and over powder: EL Pink Shimmer, cream
Powder: My sparkly mix, then SCA Hyaluronic with stiff Guerlain brush

Lips: NYX Lips Iced Lavender
As soon as I had it on one lip, I could tell Iced Lavender would be too dark for the rest of my face, if I had put it on alone, but I wanted to keep to the same color family. So…
+ Lancome Prodige (one on each lip, then smooshed)
rimmed with NYX Purple Rain Lipgloss with mega shine — in RL this is more subtle than the photo would make it.

What do you think? I was happy with it.
I always like it when I get a spontaneous expression that something looks great, as BookGirl did today.

Eyes:
Lids: NARS Riviera I wanted to see how this did on my eyes because it is marketed for eyes, lips, cheeks, an all over product. I’ve not used it for my lips yet.
Crease: Prescriptives 04 gray cream,
Outer corners: Mary Kay Silver Shiver, waterproof cream
Over lids: Trish McEvoy sparkly opalish pressed glitter shadow

Gel Liner
I wanted to see if the same technique I’ve been using with Black Cherry gel liner would work with the other colors I have. Again, I used the back end of the shadow brush for most of it.
Top tight lined: Peacock gel liner
Lower water lined: Tidal Wave gel liner

Brows: Merle Norman powder
Mascara: upper, Guerlain; lower, Tarte

Sunscreen: La Prairie
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation, Glow, Blush: L’Oreal minerals — this time for foundation I used the L’oreal brush dipped into the top of the bottom container — the bad thing about that is if you need more product, you have the screw the brush back on in order to tip it upside down to get more product into the top.
Powder: no extra today
More blush: NARS Riviera on cheek bones

Lips: NYX Lips Champagne
