Friday Face of the Day

TGIF!!!! 

Well, we made it to Friday and I hope you have fun weekend plans ahead. 

Today's FOTD is going to be a three in one... product review, holiday look, and fotd. 

With the Holidays right around the corner I have tried a few looks that would be fun

to wear to a Christmas party, out and about, or just chilling with your family. I like this look

because it incorporates a soft gold eye with a wearable (in my opinion) red lip. I know some 

people have a hard time sporting a red lip and if you are used to wearing a more neutral lip

it is a big change, but this one to me is a little more natural.

Key products used in this look:

On my cheeks I applied Benetint, a rosy lip or cheek stain that

gives a very natural flush of color. 

After applying the cheek tint I applied this light pink blush by NYX in 

Rose Garden to set the liquid. 

For lips I used my new Covergirl blastlipstick lip duo in Smooch.
I have been curious to try this after hearing some good reviews and seeing all the
Sofia Vergara commercials.

This lip product is unique in that it is supposed to make your lips look
3 Dimensional as you use two colors. One shade is shimmer and the other is a matte cream.
 The darker shade is to be applied all over your lips and then
 the lighter color to the bottom center of your lip and it's supposed to give your
lips more depth.

Darker shade in Smooch.
It's kind of a brick red. It's not a bright cherry red at all.

Lighter shade in Smooch. 

Lighter peachy/pink. 

I have to say I do like the blastlipstick... it's very long lasting and has more of a matte finish

which I prefer. It does make for a more unique lip with the two shades incorporated. These 

retail at your drugstore for $8.
