Clarins Sunkissed Summer 2017 Collection - Review, Swatches, and Looks

Makeup brands release collections several times per year, but I can easily say that my fave launches are holiday and summer collections.  I like holiday releases because I'm a sucker for a festive gift set, and I love summer launches because I am Team Bronzy Glow.

Clarins Sunkissed Summer 2017 Collection is exactly that - warm, golden, and everything that I love about the sunny weather.

New from JOE FRESH Beauty - Review, Swatches, and Look

It's been a while since I chatted about JOE FRESH makeup.  The last time I tried it was in fall 2016, when they released some new core products (Review HERE).

With JOE FRESH I find that the products progressively improve, with every launch, so I was hoping that the new 2017 products followed the pattern.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua XL Eye Pencil - Review and Swatches

I've been seeing these new eyeliners EVERYWHERE, lately.  On the internet, at Sephora, on my friends.  I saw them even more from everybody's Generation Beauty hauls (Is this the "FOMO" that people talk about?).

I've heard such good things about this collection, but I'm a difficult customer when it comes to eyeliner.

Face of the Day: MAC Zac Posen Palette

Happy Wednesday!  I'm attempting to do one 'Face of the Day' post per week, so here is one featuring a palette that I was super excited about.

When the makeup fairy brought me the Zac Posen 'Eye Z You' MAC Palette I was BEYOND excited.  I'm a fan of Zac's work, and I think that the look of  palette lines right up with his work in the fashion industry - lovely and able to appeal to the masses.

Face of the Day: Andreja Pejic Artist Palette

Hello, friends!  Today I'm sharing my face of the day, which features my very first MAKE UP FOR EVER palette.

This is my first time trying eyeshadows from MAKE UP FOR EVER.  I always swatch them when I'm at Sephora, so I was really excited to try their shadows out.

Face of the Day: Rock a Red Lip

I can finally wear eyeshadow!  My skin problems are starting to clear up, which means that I can play with makeup again.

Today's face of the day features a red lip, which I am always afraid to wear, because I never know how to balance it out with the rest of my look.

It's New To Me! Shopping My Stash

As part of my effort to not share any photos that include my face until my skin clears up (read all about what happened HERE) I've had to get a bit more creative with my posts.  It's been tricky, because usually my creative outlet is my makeup, so I've been up a creek with no paddle, as of late.

Sometimes, you have to dive deep into your beauty battle station, and re-discover some of your overlooked babies, that you forgot that you own.
