Nars Eyeshadow Duos

Here are swatches of the only Nars eyeshadow duos I have. I love the duos and plan to purchase more, but find that they don't get as much use as colors in my palettes. I think I tend to favor eyeshadows in palettes a little more than individual eyeshadows.

Nars Blush Swatches

I don't think these blushes need much introduction. They are a cult favorite and known world-wide to be some of the best blushes on the planet. They most certainly live up to they hype!

Sunset Over the Ocean

I'm sorry for not posting as often. This month has been extremely busy with weddings and proms, and next month is even busier. I will try to sneak in some posts in between the mayhem.

Good Friday Face

Today I decided to wear one of my favorite colors, sketch. I wear this color with just about everything. It is definitely one of my staples!

Tips For Long-lasting Makeup: Face

I have been asked numerous times about how to make your makeup last longer. Living in the south where in the summer you start to melt as soon as you step your toe out of the door you must know how to sweat-proof your makeup! The humidity is atrocious and everybody is looking like an oil slick. Lucky for you Northerner's this is not a problem for you.

Color Comparisons: Orange Blushes

Orange blushes are my absolute favorite! I will be posting these color comparisons periodically to show you how certain colors in the same family compare to one another. Sometimes they will be all blush or all eyeshdadow, sometimes they will be a mixture of products that are all in the same color family. The posts may also consist of products that serve the same purpose. Let me know what you all think about this idea. Do you think this is helpful?

My New Makeup Storage

I am super excited about this new storage system I bought for my makeup! For years I have been storing my makeup wherever I could fit it. That meant a train case in the bathroom closet, along with some plastic shoe boxes. My armoire had also been transformed into a makeup storage. So, because I do my makeup in my bathroom I would have to go to a couple of different places to get makeup to pull together one look. With the makeup being in all those different places I would sometimes forget what I had and some makeup never got used.

Green Is Good

I was inspired once again by the Wonder Woman collection. The colors from the Valiant Quad are what I chose to emulate. Greens are some of my favorite eyeshadow colors!

Wonder Woman Inspired

I didn't have my Wonder Woman items yet, but I did have some of the colors from the collection. So I put this look together. This look was inspired by the 'Lady Justice' quad.

New Francois Nars Book: "Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself"

I don't know about you, but I'm all about makeup books and education. I have books from Sam Fine, Iman, Kevyn Aucoin, Scott Barnes, Bobbi Brown, the list goes on and on. I love reading and learning tips and techniques from the masters of makeup. There is no denying that Francois Nars is most definitely one of them!

Dalliance and Love Peck

I did this look last Saturday. I posted it on a couple of sites, but thought why not post it on my own blog now. I am so tickled that I have my own blog...lol!
