I went to Sephora last Saturday for a little retail therapy and picked up a few noms:

  • Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil in Black Gold ($20)
  • YSL Toning & Cleansing Micellar Water ($40)
  • Sephora Collection Gold Chain Headband ($7; it’s kind of Chanel-ish, yeah?)

Have you tried any of these? Inquiring minds wanna know.

I also saw a couple of poodles shopping for makeup with their mom while I was there. Too cute! 🙂

Freshly Showered (and Then Five Minutes Later…)

September 15th, 2012 by Karen 39 Comments

No makeup in the pic above! And my hair’s doing its naturally wavy thing.

Five minutes later I looked like this…

I used:

  • NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (applied with fingers) all over my face
  • MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer under my eyes
  • MAC Concrete eyeshadow applied on my brows with a MAC 266 Small Angle Brush; after filling in my brows, I took what was left over on my 266 and ran that along my upper and lower lash lines for some definition
  • MAC Haute & Naughty Too Black Lash Mascara on my the upper lashes
  • Tarte LipSurgence Lip Shine in Smitten on my lips
  • MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder on my forehead and nose to take down the shine

Nothing fancy. Just simple, easy makeup to get me out the door. 🙂
