FOTD AL eyes + Chanel NYX lips +

I've spent the better part of most days since the kids are back in school re-doing the house, organizing and changing -- all things impossible to do when everyone is under foot. Consequently, I'm behind in my blog but caught up in my life! I'm going to try to catch up with some of the pictures I've taken. This is today's look.

Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost
Lids: AL Luster pure eyes frost -- gorgeous color!
Dry lined top and lower: AL lisianthus satin petals frost
I started out thinking something completely different, until I saw these two samples side by side and thought I'd like to try them. Wow! how pretty they are! And I can wear this shade of coppery brown -- I still look alive, LOL!
Tight lined top and lower: ELF Plum pencil
Brows: La Prairie pencil
Mascara: Lancome Fatale

Primer: Vital Radiance Cool (a sort of peachy pink shade)
Foundation: 02 Linen Clinique Super Moisture Makeup a tad too dark, but nice -- I've finally used up all the Chanel that is still a fave because it was a perfect color and formula, but no longer made.
Rouge under powder: Chanel stick
Powder: Guerlain meteorites I'm going to use this up next. I had put it in a crystal goblet as they did in the store, but I took so long to use it up -- are you surprised? -- that I could hardly get any powder on my brush, so I ground it up in my Cuisinart, truly!, to make it useable. I think I also needed a pestle in order to get it really fine because there are some bigger bits. The over all color is a medium pink. Before the little beads of powder were ground there were beads of gold, pink, cream...
Blush: Arbonne Promise
Highlight: Arbonne the lightest shade of blush, bought intentionally for this purpose

Lips: Chanel Soft Mink + NYX Pink Frost gloss
Soft Mink is a gorgeous color, an interesting brown, and one I've loved ever since it was featured in Allure many moons ago. The bad thing is that it changes taste and texture way too soon for me to use it more than a few times. I've had to replace it at least 3 times. Bloomies is the only place that has had it lately.

Today I wanted to use it but not have it dominate -- that's for fall. It's still too hot here to be considered fall.

What do you think?
I was happy with the way this turned out. It's the first day in a few days that I've done my entire makeup. I was too busy with other things. But really, I love my look with makeup vs. without.

What did you wear today?

To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, just ask.
