Burgundy Tuesday




Finally, the weather permitted us to bring out the leather jackets and ditch the big winter coats. The minute the temperature increased I was the first one to do so, I just couldn't do with a huge heavy coat anymore, add a nice thick sweater and you are good to go !

This Week's Most Loved...


Spring is here and it's time for a change !

Last week, I decided to take a break from putting any liquid on my face, such as foundation or tinted moisturizer, so I rummaged through my hoard of makeup and I found an old great love the Laura Mercier Mineral Powder
I love this powder, it does not five a full coverage but it creates such a wonderful glow on your face without being shiny, which is not ideal for someone with an oily T-Zone.
All week I wore this powder and my skin never felt better, I found it very appropriate to wear with the wonderful weather we got.

 
 
To add a little more oomph, I decided to try a Bronzer that I had kept in my drawer for so long. Last year, I got a kit from Sephora containing a mini Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush and a mini version of the Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer. This Bronzer is exactly what I needed for a nice pick-me-up. Beware, it has a little shine to it, it is not a matte bronzer, but that's specifically what I wanted, something to brighten up my face and add a nice glow.

 

To tie everything up, I have been obsessed with matte eyeshadows. I have always been the type of girl that leans toward nice warm shimmery brown-toned eyeshadows, but this month and specifically this week, I have been recreating the same eye look over and over again with matte brown shades.
This eye look is the easiest you can find, it consists of two eyeshadows from the Urban Decay Naked Palette : Naked and Buck.

 
I start by applying the color Naked all over the lid with a MAC 217 brush or you can use any blending eye brush. Then, I take Buck and apply it on the crease with the same brush, you can play with the intensity of the crease with adding more of the Buck color. Then, I usually add either a brown or black winged liner to tie up the look and off I go !

These were the products I used all week and I think I am gonna keep up this little trio for the following week as well. Let me know which products you have been loving this week.

Also, if you have any suggestions for nice matte eyeshadows please keep me posted, I am on the hunt !

Enjoy !
