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?

ChapStick True Shimmer – Never Leave the House Without One!

ChapStick has never really been a cosmetic item used to add an element of glamour to the face, but rather to moisturize and comfort your lips. But, the new ChapStick True Shimmer ($2.29) line changes this. In addition to soothing dry, flaky lips, True Shimmer ChapStick leaves lips shimmery and with a hint of tint to the lips.

I own three flavors of True Shimmer ChapStick – Peppermint Rush (hits stores in August), Botanical Berry, and Tropical – and they smell just as the names suggest. Usually I wear them under my lip gloss as a moisture and shimmer base but I also find myself wearing them alone often because they make my lips look so soft and lustrous.

My personal favorite is Peppermint Rush, as it not only smells and looks great on but it also makes lips tingle. Just what I love in a lip balm! Look out for this version in stores next month.

Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter is a Natural Delight

Natural beauty products? I’m a fan! That’s why Korres is fast becoming one of my personal beauty brand indulgences. Korres Lip Butter ($9) is a current addiction of mine. My favorite shade is Pomegranate, which I will wear into the indian summer season. The shea butter and rice wax formula goes on creamy and smooth and leaves lips with a nice, tinted shine. Fragrance-free, Korres Lip Butter also contains no mineral oil, silicone, propylene glycol, nor ethanolamine. Once applied, chapped lips turn into smooth “pillows”. Much more kissable!
