Summer is in full swing...despite it not officially being summer

So it's not technically summer...but tell that to Mother Nature.  Temperatures have been ranging in the 90s here and the bun I'm sporting 99% of the time tells you all you need to know about the humidity. 

 

 

Today it's suppose to rain so putting makeup on was actually worth the hassle.  We've been spending so much time outside that my new game is tinted moisturizer and lip balm.  But today we will be inside where my face can't melt off.

 

 

So here's the full face. 

 

 

 

Face is same as always with new blush.

Cream blush: Wet 'n Wild MegaGlo Makeup Stick in Floral Majority. I absolutely love this product!

Powder blush is Nars Deep Throat.  Screw Orgasm...this blush is my favorite powder blush.  It is absolutely gorgeous! 

Contour and highlight from Fiona Stiles Mistake-Free Makeup Eye and Face Contouring Palette.  I do not believe this is available anymore.

 

 

 

 

Eyes:

 

 

All over lid is L'Oreal Cool Ivory...lightest shade.  I am on the fence about this one.  It is super shimmery...something I'm not a fan of.  BUT, when I put it down as a base and put a more matte shade over it, I enjoy it.  Unnecessary step?  Maybe...

So over this I put the lightest shade in the Tanya Burr Fairytale palette.  This little palette is adorable!  And it's super cheap.  Yes, you have to work a little bit to blend the colors but they are pretty.  Outer corner is the bottom left greyish taupe shade.  I love this color!

On browbone I used Maybelline Nude Compliment, another product I like.

Eyeliner: I used the darkest shade from my Stila Aubergine/Amethyst duo.  This is no longer available.  On it's own this is too overpowering for me but I love the shades as eyeliner.

Lower lash line I used the lightest shade from this Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips trio.  I love this shade for the lower lash line.  The other colors in the set were ok...I find I don't use them very often.

 

 

Lips:

CoverGirl Outlast in Forever Fawn.  I'm trying this product yet again. I love this color...I hate this formula.

 

Over this I used L'Oreal Riche Lip Balm in Caramel Comfort

 

Liplinee: Essence In the Nude



 

That's it.  Have a blessed Wednesday!

 

 



Purple and sage

Now that I think about it, perhaps my eye look should have been more complimentary to my clothing today but...whatever!

 

 

You know, I love when I start looking for links to the products I used how I become aware that so many of them are no longer available.  Thank goodness for Ebay I guess!

 

So here's today's look...

 

 

For the first time ever I'm using the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer-Radiance with Hyaluronic Acid.  It's very pretty.  For some reason I can't find the jar online but here's a link to the tube.  I'm going to wear it for a week and see how I like it compared to the Becca Backlight Primer.

 

Also on my face: Armani Maestro in 5

 

I do not like this one as much as the Luminous Silk Foundation.  But I paid a crap ton of money for it so I'm going to use it up then revert back.

 

Concealer: IT Cosmetics Eyelift in a Tube. Eyelift is a bit optimistic I think. 

 

Cheeks: Stila Lillium

 

After applying my Milani  Prep+Set+Go powder I used Clinique Plum Gorgeous.

 

 

 

Highlight: Wet 'n Wild To Reflect Shimmer Palette in I'll Have a Cosmo

 

Contour: Wet 'n Wild Photo Focus Pressed Powder in Cocoa

 

 

 

 

Eyes: Primed with Fiona Stiles Peach corrector

 

Inner eye: Exposed from BareMinerals (top left); on browbone Lure (top row, third from right)

 

Lid: Clinique Sugarberry

 

Outer lid: mix of these two shades in Clinique Blackberry Frost duo.  I am always amazed at how much I love these two colors.  I don't normally "do" purple and I definitely don't like frost but this duo is one of my faves.

 

 

 

Eyeliner: Stila Kajal in Onyx.  I don't love this liner...I find it slips from my waterline onto my lower lash line by the end of the day.  So I wasn't terribly sad to see it's no longer available.  The new Stila eyeliners are much better.

 

Mascara: BeneFit RollerLash

 

Lips: Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in Bellini...love this color!

 

 

 

That's it for today!
