Sun & Sand

Hanes mens tank-target + capture necklace-twisted silver

I just got the new Sun and Sand Eyeshadow Palette from Bobbi Brown and I love it as much as I thought I would. The online Sephora reviews were a little negative about the palette, as far as the colors not really showing up. I always use a eye primer and I really didn't have that problem and I personally like that this palette is extremely light, bright, and neutral. It's a wonderful mix of neutral shadows, both shimmer-y and matte. Somehow all my regrets about not going to the beach this summer are a little more bearable with this bronze makeup.

I used pale cream all over the lid, bikini bronze in the inner corners of the eye,
and saddle and frappe in the crease. I also used Dallas by Benefit
as a bronzer and Makeup Forever Aqua LipLiner in 3C
with MAC Myth Lipstick

Thanks Bobbi Brown, you did good with this one.

And God Created The Woman

I was out makeup shopping like us makeup artists do and I stumbled upon this new NARS eyeshadow palette, And God Created The Woman. It was love at first sight and the perfect neutral eye palette. This picture does not come even close to how spectacular these colors are. Included with this palette is an eye shadow brush and eye primer. Can I just rave about the brush for a minute? Usually when a brush comes in a palette, it is a huge disappointment. I mean it's an extra, your aren't really buying the palette for the brush, so it is ok if it is something you use once and then it sinks to the bottom of the drawer never to be used again. I would spend $5O all over again...just to have more than one of these brushes. It is the perfect size and shape to make applying your base shadow quick and easy, you can also go back in with the end of the brush to brush shadow through your crease or highlight your brow. And did I mention the bristles are so soft? Good job NARS!
