Friday Face of the Day

Happy Friday Chick a Dee's.

I have another Face of the Day (FOTD) post for you and I hope you enjoy this

look that I sported for a Valentine's date night.

Here is my face in regular lighting.

And again in natural lighting. I have to say I love this look and makeup

used Tuesday night. Lovin the smoky grey eye with light pink lip.

I feel like it's dramatic enough for a night out, but also something you can

sport around the office or wherever your everyday may be.

FACE: (See previous post for pictures)

Foundation: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour

Concealer: Estee Lauder Double Wear

Blush: MAC Cream in LadyBlush (as seen below)

Bronzer: NARS Laguna

Highlighters: MAC Cream Color Base in Shell (cream) applied first to top of

cheekbones and then set with MAC Soft & Gentle Powder.

EYES:

NEW PRODUCT!!

Clinique lid smoothie in Sassy Fras was applied all over lid as a neutral

taupe/gray to serve as primer and color base for other shadow.

NEW PRODUCT!!

After letting my lid smoothie dry I then applied this Clinique Stay

Matte shadow in the shade Slate.

It's a gorgeous matte gray that makes for a great smoky eye without being

too dark or harsh.

After applying the lid smoothie and matte shadows from Clinique I put

my NARS bronzer in my crease to warm up the look a bit and added a light

shade under my brow for a highlight shade.

Last step was adding Urban Decay Black Liner and several coats of Revlon

Photoready 3D Volume mascara.

LIPS:

I wanted to keep the lips light and neutral, but with a pop of color since

my eyes were darker.

I applied Estee Lauder lipstick in Crystal Pink and then added Revlon gloss in

Pink Pop.

Have a very happy weekend!

Friday Product Faves

TGIF and Happy Official Day of Fall Ya'll!!!

I know most of you are so excited to embrace the season of cool weather,

football season, scarves, boots, and jackets!

So, this week I wanted to feature products that I don't personally own, but desire

to own and have in my collection one day. I do a good bit of research on products

before I buy them. When I go into Sephora, Ulta, MAC, or Target

I pretty much know what I want to buy because I have either:

A. Read Great Customer Reviews on the Product

B. Seen a Tutorial Video Promoting the Product

C. Heard friends or family rave about the Product

D. Read about them in Magazines

So, without further ado...

Here are 6 products I have chosen to be on this Friday's Fave List

because of the great things I have read and seen about them.

Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer.

I have never personally tried this, but this will be my next foundation purchase

because of the awesome things I have heard from people who have used it.

Apparently, it gives you more coverage than your average tinted moisturizer all while

keeping your face from getting too greasy or oily. If you have dry skin you can get this

in a non oil free version.

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer

Bobbi Brown is one of those brands I have always wanted to get into. Her products

tend to me a bit on the pricy side, but I love her philosophy on make-up

and really promoting natural beauty. I have heard people say no other concealer

they have ever owned compares to Bobbi Brown so I am dying to get my hands on

some of her concealer. This set is designed for under eyes darkness and circles.

One shade conceals while the other sets it in place.

Mally Beauty Poreless Face Defender

Have you heard of Mally?? This is a new face and name for me personally.

Mally is a make-up artist/stylist to celebrities and promotes a lot of her products

on QVC. About a month ago I was watching a special on this product called

"Poreless Face Defender."

It has been named the most innovative product by QVC as well as Customer

Choice Award. It is a clear powder that sets your make-up and hides your pores. It does not build up layers on your skin and make you look cakey like powder often does.

Mally claims she has not used translucent powder on her high profile celebrity

clients in TEN YEARS!! This product is designed to make you look younger,

protect your skin, set your make-up, and many other things!

This product just makes me giddy to write about because I HATE powder and

the look it gives! This seems like such a stand out because literally nobody

has on the market! : )

If you are interested in trying some of Mally's products that include the Poreless

Face Defender, QVC has a REMARKABLE deal today that I have already bought

this morning and am SO excited about. It is a SICK deal.

The Defender alone retails for $40 and you get a whole set of 7 pieces for $63.36

and trust me when I say this... I have heard outstanding reviews on all of the

products included in this set. So, if you are interested...

Click Here and get it while it lasts!!

Urban Decay Cheek Tint

Urban Decay has a great blush they call cheek tint. I have one of these in the shade

"Bang" that I used this summer and is gorgeous. The color I have featured above

is "Fetish" and I think it is a lovely shade for Fall.

The product feels like butter and glides on effortlessly to give you a subtle

glow and dewy effect.

Estee Lauder Modern Mercury Highlighter

Good luck finding this product anytime soon because apparently from here to

Hong Kong is sold out and everyone is on the prowl for this new Fall must have!

Estee Lauder released their Fall Mercury line and this gorgeous highlighter used

to highlight cheekbones, cupid's bow, and eyelids is on everyone's want list. It

retails for $40, but literally don't know where to find it right now.

Good Luck!

Urban Decay Naked Lip

Another Urban Decay fave! Isn't the packaging on this product cool? I mean

it is a bit bulky, but very creative to say the least. This shade is in "Naked" and I think

it's just a great neutral to go with anything. If you have never heard of Urban Decay

then I would HIGHLY recommend you getting introduced with the "Naked Palette."

I as well as several friends I coaxed into getting LOVE it and it gives you so many

arrangements do play with on your eyes!

Have a Great Weekend!
