Pretty in Pink

Feb18

So the weather around here has been crazily warm for this time of year. It made me want to do a fresh, springy look. I have just fallen in love with the MAC eyeshadow Sweet Lust. It's shimmery with some micro-glitter in it, but the glitter isn't all "oh look at me I have glitter all over my face," it's much more subtle. I've been using this eyeshadow a lot lately as a default shade when I'm not sure what I want to do or am in a hurry.

A closer look:

On the eye (please ignore the mascara boo-boo above my crease, haha):

As you can also tell from these pics, my allergies are kickin my butt! My eyes have been itchy and watery for a couple of weeks now, boo!

Ok anyway, with this shadow I paired Benefit's Her Glossiness in "Who Are You Wearing?" [which is in the buh-bye section on Benefit's website for only $9.00!!] 

When people first see this shade in my gloss bag, they always wonder why I want such a bright color gloss. But as you can see, it doesn't apply as dark or bright as it looks. It gives the lips just a hint of pink. Love love love it.

To finish it all off, I applied Benefit's Georgia Peach along my cheeks bones and on the apples, then used MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish in Lighscapade to highlight.

I can't wait for summer to get here!

Would you compare that MAC eyeshadow to Stila's Kitten? Love that gloss, thanks for the sale tip! Smiling

Chiquita, though I have other Stila eyeshadows, I haven't purchased Kitten yet [I know I know, I've been meaning to get it though!]. I've heard such great things about it that I must try it! Perhaps that will be added to my list for my next purchase

I love how simple the look is, but it makes you look so glowy. Way back in the day, before I became a beauty addict, I had such a pretty shimmery pink MAC eyeshadow that I shared (I was that un-addicted that I was willing to share makeup) with my sister. She used it all up, didn't keep the case, and I still think about it. Sweet Lust suddenly reminded me of it, so I'm definitely gonna check it out next time I'm at a MAC counter.

What a coincidence! I too, use that exact shade as my default when I'm in a hurry and when I have no idea what look I want. Your cheek looks soo pretty!

Oh you should, that used to be my default shade (until I bought MAC Minerallize eyeshadow duo in Love Connection). I think it's more of a champagne shimmer whereas I could see now that your MAC looks pinkish. Next time I go to the MAC counter I'm going to check it out Smiling
