Just wanted to share my "face of the night" with you guys :)

I think I'm going out to have drinks with the boyfriend tonight so I wanted to look extra pretty.

It's a really subtle smokey eye with a metal taupe brown and pink. I lined my upper lash line with olive green liner and winged it out and used black liner on my lower lash line. On my lashes I used a brown mascara. Finally, I filled in my brows.

On my face, I used a BB cream all over, and some concealer under my eyes. I used Korres contouring powder in Mykonos. It has a bronzer strip, a blush strip, and an all over color strip. You can read more and see it here.

I used that pretty much all over and then used Bobbi Brown's shimmer block in Rose Gold on my cheeks.



Products used:
Eyeshadow: Sephora's 4 shadows and liner palette in "brunette eyes No. 08" = used Retro Powderpuff (pink) all over the lid and Marie in the crease along with the dark grey liner in the crease.

Eyeliner: Stila's Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Flash for the upper lash line and Urban Decay's Zero (black) for the lower lash line.

Mascara: Covergirl Natureluxe mousse mascara in brown

Brows: Sephora Rectractable Brow Pencil in No. 4 Midnight Brown

Face: Dr. Jart + Waterfuse BB Cream

Concealer: Benefit's Erase Paste in No. 2

Face Powder/Contouring: Korres Magic Light Face Contouring Powder Trio in Mykonos

Blush: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Block in Rose Gold

Monday: Nail Polish and Concealer

So I wanted to share the three new nail polishes I bought at Sephora maybe a week ago. In the last four or five months, I have been really into painting my own nails and honestly it has done wonders for them. I stopped for a while after my surgery in December, and I'm just starting up now but in that time my nails started to suck again. Just the filing and trimming alone kept them in awesome shape and helped them grow.

The colors in order : Leaf him at the alter, I don't bite, and Looks like rain dear

I've worn the gold and the purple (yes it is purple) and they are awesome. I personally like the gold more it actually comes off very sophisticated. I am looking forward to wear the green, it is such a beautiful shade.

The other noteworthy thing I bought recently is the Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette. People have been raving about this thing for the longest time in blogs and on Youtube, so I decided to take the plunge. There is two shades of concealer, a corrector, and a translucent powder. I honestly couldn't figure out which was the correcter, if it was the one above the powder or to the left of it. The powder is in the bottom right. So I think I've decided the one to the left is, because of how yellow it is. For ten bucks, this thing is pretty incredible. However, I get a bit of creasing with it, so I don't know if it is my end all be all. I think I need to vary the amounts I use and just get used to it. I do still love my Bobbi Brown corrector and concealer though. So we will see!

Friday: Favorites

This week has been a long one, and I don't know about you but I am exhausted! I hope everyone had an amazing Valentine's Day :) I am officially celebrating tomorrow night with the boyfriend but he brought me flowers Tuesday :) I'm in the last week of my Chemistry and History classes, so hopefully all will go smoothly. I've been so bogged down by homework lately! I have a week off from work and rehearsals this coming week and on the 28th I have an interview so wish me luck! So on to my favorites for the week :)

The Laura Mercier Lingerie Eye and Cheek Palette
- this has been amazing for my make-up looks this week. I did a subtle pink and purple smokey eye that was gorgeous. The colors are incredible and the color payoff is amazing. The blushes especially are amazing in the color pay off department.

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Beige Gold
- the perfect nude with a hint of gold...this lipstick is outstanding in every way :)

Washington and Maryland
- Washington became the next state to legalize gay marriage and Maryland is right behind them :) Congratulations!

SourceFed
- this is Phillip DeFranco's (sxephil) newest venture. He is a genius and I love watching his show, The Phillip DeFranco show. This is a mix of a news show, comedy, game show, and more. The people he has working on the show as hosts and amazing, Elliot Morgan, Joe Bereta, and Lee Newton are some of the most awesome and funny people I've seen in a long time. Be sure to check it out and subscribe!

Angry Birds
-Facebook just got Angry Birds and my love for it as been renewed :)

Pintrest & 750words.com

Well, that's all for the Friday post. Have a great weekend and don't party too hard ;)

Bobbi Brown Haul 1/26

So today I had my first physical therapy and I figured in honor of that and since tomorrow is my birthday :-D I would go pick up some stuff I wanted at the Bobbi Brown counter. I haven't tried out all of it yet but I still think I'm in love. So the first thing I bought and the original reason I went was a new foundation. This winter weather is killing my skin and while my moisturizers are great, my foundations I found too drying. So I wanted to try their Tinted Moisturizing Balm. I got the color medium.

I tested it on the back of my hand just to see the consistency and I'm in love. It is so creamy but it absorbs right away. The moisture it has is awesome too. I think I've found my go-to winter foundation :) Then I heard a few days ago that the Rose Gold collection came out and I died. I sort of wish they came out with eye shadows but alas they did not. I picked up one of the lipsticks though and I'm sold. The color is Beige Gold, and it is so pretty. I couldn't get a good picture of the swatch on my hand or lips, the light in my room isn't good enough.

Lastly, I picked up one of the two shimmer bricks that was in the collection. I think the other one was Wild Rose, but I got the Rose Gold one and it can be used as eye shadows.

Here is a swatch on my finger when you mix all the colors in the brick together.

I definitely can't afford to do a lot of Bobbi Brown shopping, but her products are completely worth it. Sometimes I wish I could work for the company just so I could have one of everything she's ever made haha Hope you enjoyed!
