Happy Valentine’s Day, my beautiful friend.
I decided to say “I love you” to myself today by sitting down in front of the mirror to joyfully put on makeup! 🙂
A few notes on the key items
The Do It For The Graham eyeshadow palette is from a new-to-me brand called Beauty Bakerie, and it includes 12 powder shadows in foil, matte and duo-chrome finishes.
I’m wearing the tan, beige and dark reddish brown matte shades on my lids. Even though I’m out of practice with blending, the soft, smooth powders made it easy to weave one color into the next. Very nice!
You might recognize the red lip, because it’s one of my MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour favorites, Quite the Standout, which is a bright orangey red. If you like warm-toned reds, this shade is gonna be your jam! It’s temporarily out of stock on the MAC website (boo), but check your local counter to see if they have it around.
Last but certainly not least, MAC Glow Play Blush in That’s Peachy. It’s a light peach blush that goes on sheer, which I like because then I can really control the color intensity on my cheeks. It pairs especially well with warm red and peachy-pink lip colors.
Sending you so much love. Treat yourself with extra kindness today, OK?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Oh, and let me know if you also did a red lip, too!
Tatiana says
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and all your readers.
You look gorgeous in a bright red lip with a bright red cardigan.
Testing out the new Tom Ford Traceless Soft Matte Concealer today. Not sure I was matched to the correct shade. Why is the makeup department at my local Nordstrom lit like a dungeon?
No lippie at all today. Doing laundry and repairing clothes.
Was gonna make Dear Husband a steak dinner but he asked for French Onion grilled cheese sandwiches instead. If I get off my butt I’ll make some chocolate chip cookie dough and will bake a few and portion the rest to put in the freezer.
Karen says
Well that sounds like the purr-fect dinner. YUM! How did your cookies turn out?
Mandy says
Happy Valentine’s Day Karen! I love the MAC Glow Play blushes. That’s Peachy looks really pretty on you. It’s one of my favorite shades.
Karen says
Thank you, Mandy! Hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day.
I’m glad MAC kept the Glow Play blushes around. So good!
Happy Wednesday and enjoy the rest of your week. 🙂

I love those pink peonies!
Just about to try out some Trinny London all over facial glow sheer cream in Dusty Rose and then their famous Miracle Blur line filler in a pot. Will it magically fill in all my lines and wrinkles? Can’t wait to find out..!
