Hello purple!

I am so in love with these Armani eye tints and today I'm finally getting around to trying the last one I ordered during the Sephora VIB sale.  This one is #7 Shadow and it's a gorgeous shimmer purple-silver. 
 
 
 
Again, so serious
 
 
Inner eye: Elf RoseGold
I put the Armani #7 on outer lid and blended in and up
Liner: Laura Mercier tightline cake eyeliner in Black Ebony
Mascara: NYX Pin-Up...I have given this a week and I still don't like it.  It's just too wet.
 



 
 
Skin: Same concealer and foundation as before.
Cheeks: Tarte Desire under foundation.  Milani powder and then Cover Girl Natural Glow blush.  This CG blush is one of my favorites...I absolutely adore it!
Highlight: Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette (middle shade).  While this is pretty as a highlight I really like to use the middle shade in the center of my lid! 
Contour: Nars Olympia (I love that it's lighter but it's also very pink)
 



 
 
Lips: Clinique Baby Baby...this is discontinued and while I love it, I would never pay the price in the link.
 
 
Have a blessed Tuesday!

Kevyn Aucoin rules

I have tried contour powder after contour powder after contour powder but I honestly feel like I can stop my search for the best one for me.  That doesn't mean I WILL...just means I really could! 
 
 
Keep in mind I'm still working on the best way to contour my nose (long with one side that protrudes out more at the tip than the other side does).  But this Kevyn Aucoin contour duo is amazing!  It's $25 for a small container and it's going to last me forever.  You can buy the full-size sculpting powder but why bother?  This little one will last a really long time because it's so pigmented but it blends so beautifully!

 

 
Eyes:
Armani Eye Tint in Nude Smoke and Cold Copper.  Outer edge Clinique Chameleon (no longer available).  Liner: Sephora Kohl blended with a Pro Smudge Brush
 

 
 
Mascara: that new NYX one that I'm pretty sure I'm going to toss next week.  It doesn't curl and it's too...wet.  I'm giving it another week to dry out a little. 
 
 
Face:
Same old same old but "new" blush.  So "new" in fact that it's no longer available except at a too high price.  It's Clinique Almond Blossom.  While I like the color it's not worth the price in the link.
 


Cream blush underneath is one of my favorites and it IS still available...Tarte Exposed.  This is one of my favorites!  It's gorgeous!
 


Lips: Clinique Baby Kiss with NYX Cairo over. 
 
 



 

 
Have a blessed Thursday!!!

Armani love

 
I am still beyond impressed with this Armani eyeshadow!  Today I used Nude Smoke as an all over base.  I used Rimmel ScandalEyes in Bad Girl Bronze on the outer 1/3 and then blended with Armani Cold Copper
Eyeliner: Elf liquid liner in teal with Precision in black over top.  Neither liner is available any longer.
Mascara: NYX Boudoir (not loving this mascara)
 

 


 
 
New for skin:
Estee Lauder Flash Illuminator in Morning Light.  I've only used this two days but I love this product!  If my skin were just a little less red I could wear this alone and skip foundation.
 
 
L'Oreal Visible Lift Blur Foundation in Nude Beige
 
 
 
Lips: Buxom Cherry Flip with NYX Cairo over top.  I love this Cairo color!
