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!
