FOTD: Lumiere Cosmetics Eye Pigments, Korres Lip Butter

I conjured up what is, for me, a great daytime autumn-esque eye using shades of Lumiere Cosmetics eye pigments (check out Lumiere Skin & Beauty Bar if you’ve never heard of them). As a base pigment on the lid I used Helitrope. In the crease I used Espresso Shimmer. To highlight beneath my brows I used Cappuccino. For the coppery peach pop of color I used Dulce de Leche. To line I used Wet ‘n Wild MegaLiner in black on top and Stila 24t Smudge Pot in Golden Noir on my bottom lash line.

On my cheeks I used Stila Lip & Cheek Stain in Mango Crush.

Since receiving my Korres shipment the other day which I was too excited about, I’ve introduced two Korres products into my routine and in this FOTD. First is their Silicone Free Face Primer which seems to keep my oil at bay all day. Loving it. I’m also solely wearing Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine on my lips. It has a bit of glossiness to it, which I love. What I love most about Korres is that their products are all-natural, so you’re doing something good for your skin.

By the way, if you’ll be purchasing any Korres products from KorresUSA.com before Sept. 15, you can use this Frappelattes coupon code at checkout to receive 30% off your entire order. If you’re new to the line and have a Sephora nearby you can experience it there before you buy.

What do you think of this makeup look? Too much? Just enough?

My Fave Glosses Right Now (Plus Pictures)

Currently I’m into any gloss with a rosy- or peachy-gold tint or anything with gold flecks in it. The three lip glosses I’m wearing most lately are NARS Lip Gloss in Orgasm ($25), Stila 24kt Shimmer Gloss in Radiant Sunset ($22), and Sephora Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss in Rosy Glow ($10). You can actually find all three at your local Sephora, but I’ll warn you that the Stila gloss seems to be sold out like everywhere. Bummer! It’s one of my favorites and I have already used up like a quarter of it since getting my hands on it a couple weeks ago. Continue Reading »

FOTD: Stila Indian Summer Look

So, I haven’t quite acquired all items from Stila’s Indian Summer 2009 Collection, but I am in love with the items I do have. This includes Stila Lip & Cheek Stain in Mango Crush (which I wear on my cheeks and eyes alone or as a base shade for blush or shadow), 24kt Shimmer Gloss in Radiant Sunset, and Stila Smudge Pot for eyes in Golden Noir – all of which I am wearing today in the photo below.

I have no qualms about any of the above items from the Stila Indian Summer collection. Mango Crush Lip & Cheek Stain blends so well, stays put, and looks natural against my skin. (…If I could blush a shade of peach, that is. Ha!) Stila’s Lip & Cheek Stains adjust to your personal pH levels to leave the perfect hue every time.  Radiant Sunset 24kt Shimmer Gloss wears so comfortably and has never dried my lips. It’s also really pretty with fine flecks of genuine 24kt gold. Golden Noir Smudge Pot for eyes is a smokey black shade with flecks of gold, which are barely detectable on but glimmers in sunlight. I’m wearing it on my bottom lash line, but not on the waterline since Stila advises against that. I apply the Smudge Pot with a small angled flat brush designed for applying cream eyeliner.

What do you think of this look? Too plain? Just right? And how much do you love Stila (if you’ve ever tried Stila Cosmetics)? I fall in love over and over again.
