bareMinerals has always been one of my favorite brands for daytime makeup.  I just love that they are 100% pure and natural and always strive to make putting on makeup super easy and fun (even when your in a rush getting ready in the morning).  They constantly come out with great tutorial sets catering to the complexion and eyes as well as collections of some of their best shades.  Well this holidays season bareMinerals has done it again with a set that I would love to see under my Christmas tree! 

bareMinerals Wealth of Beauty Collection is a 21-piece set that includes a multitude of products for the eyes, cheeks and lips.  Included in this rainbow of hues are thirteen eye colors, two liner shadows, two blushes, two 100% natural lipglosses, a mini contour shadow brush for the eyes, and a starter-size eyelid primer.  It’s a beautiful collection of colors that can be mixed and matched however your little heart desires.  And with that many color options in the set, the results are endless!

I know I’m keeping MY fingers crossed for this one… 

Until next time ladies…  xoxo

Hello my lovelies!  So I had a rather exciting experience at Sephora the other day.  I found out that earlier this summer Benefit Cosmetics came out with a limited edition brightening kit that I feel was made just for my lighter skinned beauties. Bright Lights Big City! includes:

• “That Gal” Face Primer
• BADgal Blue Mascara
• Eye Bright pencil
• White leatherette travel mirror

All of these products are the perfect pick me up before heading out to happy hour, or simply just to run errands around town.  The face primer gives your skin that healthy glow so it can even be used alone.  The mascara isn’t a bright blue, but very subtle and is perfect for brightening up the whites of tired eyes.  My favorite one of the set is the Eye Bright pencil.  You can use it as a highlighter under the arch of your brows to really open up your eyes and even dot the inner and outer corners of your eyes to give them that bright-eyed look.  Remember to blend the pencil out lightly to give yourself a natural look and please keep in mind that this set is not the best choice for my darker toned beauties.

The entire set costs $48 but has a value of $82.  That’s such a great deal!  It’s a great little kit to take with you before heading out for the day, because you never know when you might need to give those peepers that last minute pick me up.

Until next time my lovelies…  xoxo

P.S.- Is anyone else as excited as I am that Sex In The City 2 is filming in NYC!?!  I saw some of the shoes that are in the movie and they are to die for!!!  Here’s a little quote I can relate to from our ever-fashionable Carrie Bradshaw:

“Men I may not know.  But shoes…  shoes I know!”

Happy Monday Ladies!!! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Mine was spent with some great friends including one of my BFF’s Diane Fong (check out her new Mommy Shape website and stay tuned for more details as its currently under construction).

Anyway, late this past June Diane and I had the pleasure of attending Beyonce’s latest I Am… Tour. Now you know I had to look my absolute best for Ms. B, so I had one of my friends do my makeup application for me. She is an absolute beast when it comes to color matching and mixing highly pigmented shadows to make an unforgettable look. So she introduced me to a limited edition palette by Urban Decay.  The Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box comes with 10 of Urban Decay’s best selling eye shadows, a cruelty free shadow brush, and a travel size eye shadow primer. This palette is my new best friend when it comes to the weekends.  These colors are so fierce and so much fun that you’re guaranteed to have a great time going out because you’ll know you look amazing! And to make it even more convenient, Urban Decay has paired their best colors together making even an amateur feel like they know what they’re doing.

Now I have to warn you, some of these colors (Uzi, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, and Kiddie Pool) do contain a high amount of glitter. So make sure you’re applying your eye makeup first before applying your foundation, as some of the glitter does tend to trickle down to your cheeks during the application process. However, a really great thing about these colors is that they can be used wet or dry and are super easy to blend.  Now when I tried to use these colors on my own, I had a little difficulty using the eye shadow brush that comes with the palette. I felt it was more difficult to blend with this particular brush but I’m also not as amazing as my friend. So I tried using one of my other brushes and found that the colors are very easy to blend.

On top of all of this, the palette comes in a beautifully artistic case made of sustainable materials. The outer casing is made of bamboo, which is an abundant material and way cooler than plastic; the eye shadow trays are made from recycled paper; and the clear packaging that the palette comes in is also recyclable. How eco-friendly of Urban Decay!

So the look that my friend gave me the night of the concert used mostly the Flash and Uzi colors. If you haven’t already noticed from my blog site, purple is my favorite color.  Check out the picture below from the concert to see the final look. And if you end up purchasing this palette, let me know what color combinations you find!

Until next time ladies… xoxo
