Can you spy the PAN?! :D |
The other products here are:
- Tarte Exposed blush -- This is THE perfect neutral pink-brown eyeshadow that literally goes with everything. It is almost impossible to mess up!
- Rock & Republic Call Me blush -- This and Exposed are my favorite blushes ever, so it's no suprise that during my lazy January I reached for these the most. It's a beautiful, albeit discontinud, pink blush with gold shimmer.
- Revlon Rich Sable matte eyeshadow -- This is a rich neutral dark matte brown that is perfect for deepening the crease and outer V in natural looks and for lining the lower lashline. It is one of my favorite eyeshadows and pairs well with both cool and warm eyeshadows.
- MAC Copperplate matte2 eyeshadow -- This is a cool/neutral grey-taupe that is also a great option for emphasizing the crease.
- Wet n Wild Stoplight Red megalast matte lipstick -- seen in my FOTD here. This is one of my favorite reds -- a blue-based red that is completely matte and wears sooo well. The coolness of it brightens up my skintone.
- Chanel Mademoiselle rouge coco lipstick -- this was my go-to everyday lipstick in January because it is rosy enough to give my face some color but is natural enough for a my-face-but-better look. Love this shade but the formula can be a bit drying.
My two other favorites this month:
- Glycerin -- I will probably be doing a separate post about the near-holy grail status of glycerin soon. It is an ingredient in almost all moisturizers. I have started using pure glycerin mixed with water as a SUPER hydrating but lightweight moisturizer. In terms of moisturizing power, you literally can't get better than this.
- Stella perfume -- This is my everyday perfume. I used up a bottle (UNHEARD OF!!!) in December and repurchased this in January. I normally like orientals but this rose-amber fragrance is so beautiful that I can't resist. My other fragrance favorite recently is Guerlain Shalimar, which is wayyy heavier and deeper.
I'm really curious about the glycerin - really looking forward to hearing about that!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll test it for another week or so and then post about it afterwards. So far I'm loving it! :)
Deleteyay for tarte exposed!!! I've been wanting to try that stella perfume--will have to try it next time i go shopping! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL We're obsessed with exposed! Stella is such a pretty perfume you should definitely give it a try :)
DeleteAhh, Stella is my favorite as well, has been for over two years. :) Tarte Exposed has been looking pretty tempting recently, I've heard so many good things about it. Is the staying power as good as advertised?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't necessarily 12 hours but it does fade only slightly after 8 hours. It definitely lasts longer than my NARS mattes and drugstore mattes like NYX.
DeleteI LOVE that wet&wild stop light red!! So PRETTY!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove this post! Now I want to try the Revlon matte eyeshadow, MAC copperplate (do you think it will show up on me, for the crease?) and the Chanel lipstick ;) Also I am very curious about the glycerin, looking forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about tarte exposed but have yet to drag myself down to sephora to swatch. It's really such a shame R&R discontinued their blushes as they are really quite amazing. I love using gylcerin spray right out of the shower but I find if I spray too much it gets a bit sticky.
ReplyDeleteIt's a color that doesn't really swatch well but looks amaaazing once you apply it because it really blends with your own skin. I want to try making a glycerin spray but right now I'm just mixing it in my hand with water.

I need to get me one of those tarte clay blushes as everyone raves about them!!
ReplyDeleteExposed would look beautiful on you as a natural easy blush. There's also some pretty peaches/corals that you'd love!
DeleteLove ur blog; looking forward to glycerin update
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reading!
DeleteThese are great picks! I love Chanel Rouge Cocos and Mademoiselle looks so pretty for the day. I am curious about MAC copperplate, do you think it is too cool for my skin? I have been so into silvers and grays lately. Oh and I cannot wait for your post in glycerin! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not actually super cool, it has a slight warmth to it. I think it's super versatile and would look great on you!
DeleteOOh, I can't wait to hear about the glycerin regime you are doing, sounds fabulous. I totally agree about Tarte exposed, lovely blush. Ahh, you hit pan, so exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :) I'll be posting about it within a week!
