Bare Minerals Brow Color in Ash Blonde/Pale

Hey guys! As you know if you've been reading the blog lately, I'm trying to branch out and get more comfortable wearing make up again. I've also recently noticed that my eyebrows have a habit of disappearing in photos >.< so I have been filling them in.

The product I've been using is Bare Minerals Brow Color. The shade Ash Blonde/Pale is perfect for my brows and I love the control that using a brush gives me. All I do is tap a little bit of powder into the lid of the container and use my brow brush to apply it. I go lightly at first and then add more if I need to so that I don't over-do it. As you can see in the photos below, the change is slight, but it is very natural and makes a huge difference to me. I recently picked up some brow stencils too so hopefully I can do a follow up post with those to show you the difference!

The Bare Minerals Brow Color can be purchased on the Bare Minerals website; the Essential Brow Kit retails for $32 and includes the brow color of your choice, the brow brush, and finishing gel. The Brow Color itself retails for $11 and comes in seven different shades.

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss Swatches

More lips everyone! :) These lip glosses are seriously amazing. These are the Marvelous Moxie lip glosses from Bare Minerals. I have Smooth Talker, Sparkplug, and Party Starter to show you. They are really comfortable to wear, they aren't sticky, and they last a long time! They also have a nice subtle tingle and a slight minty fresh scent. I also really like the slanted applicator that they have. 
Here are Sparkplug, Party Starter, and Smooth Talker swatched on my wrist. As you'll see on my lips in a second, Sparkplug and Party Starter are pretty sheer, while Smooth Talker has a bit more color and some definitely noticeable golden shimmer.

This is Sparkplug, a dusty pink with some light shimmer.

Party Starter, a nice bright coral that gives me a slight wash of color, but nothing overwhelming. This one has some nice shimmer in it as well.

And lastly is Smooth Talker, a gorgeous pink with gold shimmer. I think this is my favorite out of the three.

The Marvelous Moxie glosses retail at $18 and can be purchased at Sephora stores or at Sephora.com. Which color would you wear?

Maybelline Emerald Smokes Eye Shadow Quad

Hey everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your weekends... I'm sitting at work freezing ;( Buuut I have another eye look for you today! This time I used a Maybelline quad calling Emerald Smokes. I didn't use the all of the shades the way that they are labeled in the quad, but I will be referring to them as Base, Lid (the upper right shade in the compact), Crease, and Liner.

I started out with Urban Decay Primer Potion and once that was applied and dry, I applied the Base shade over my entire lid and up on my browbone. Then, I used the Lid shade on the outer two-thirds of my upper lids.

I blended the Crease shade into the Lid shade on the outer corner of my lids and brought the Base color down into the inner corner of my eye.

I finished up by using the Liner shade as an eyeliner along the top and bottom lash lines. I love the little gold flecks in the dark green Liner, it's so pretty! I completed this look with a coat of Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Volumizing mascara and some Urban Decay Zero eye liner on my upper and lower water lines.
