Shakeup Your Makeup

I'm going to try these out here in the next day or two.  I am wearing my Chanel Peridot right now, and I can't quite get enough of it. 

Have you seen these out?  What do you think?

 Years ago I was introduced to Bare Escentuals, and to this day I consider it one of my standard/go-to brands to use.  I was feeling inspired by all the beautiful golds and bronzes of fall, so I fell back to two of the prettiest shades I think BE has: Pussycat and Gold Leaf.  Below is how I put the look together.

Laura Geller Champagne Spackle

Laura Geller Real Deal Concealer "light"

Laura Geller Balance 'n Brighten Porcelain Foundation

Maybelline Blush "Pressworthy Pink"

Eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion "Greed"

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy

Bare Escentuals "Gold Leaf" - inner corner

Bare Escentuals "Pussycat" - outer corner, crease

MAC "Sugar Shot" - highlight

Tarte Emphaseyes Clay eyeliner - Black

L'oreal Voluminous False Fiber Mascara - Black

Laura Geller Dream Creams "Como"

A close up of the eyes below - Pussycat comes across as almost a dirty brown in the pot, but once applied is a beautiful deep bronze.  It's beautiful for fall.

I think I've found one of my new, favorite, neutral lip colors for the fall.  Laura Geller's Dream Cream lip pallets are wonderful.  I have received mine through the Escape from the Tropics Collection I ordered on auto deliver from QVC -- you can see the first set's swatches here.  These are stripes of lipstick, for lack of a better term.  These are not lip gloss, but instead are fully pigmented and can be applied on their own or mix and matched to create a color you find best suits you.  

The color I am absolutely loving is the coral stripe second from the right in the Como pallet.  In the pan it looks to be an almost washed out brick shade.  When applied, it is a beautiful nude creme with a hit of coral, and I am absolutely in love.  It works so well  with my skin tone, is easily wearable with most anything, and the lasting power on these colors are fantastic. 

If you haven't tried the Laura Geller Dream Creams, I would highly suggest you try them.  A lot of possibilities in one little compact. 

Avon Nailwear Pro in Vintage Boutique.  This is a deep khaki/gray creme, leaning more on the warmer side.  Depending on the light, it can look brown to an almost pale brownish lavender.  In my opinion, it's more of a brown with grey undertones, kind of like the color of melted milk chocolate.  Although it may look a little dull in the bottle, when applied this is a gorgeous color, especially for fall. 

I don't know if Avon has updated the formula or not, but this applied extremely well.  This is three coats, although I probably could have only used two.  The nail polish dries so shiny too, which is different than some of the older shades I've used in the Avon line. 

Side note, sorry for the blurry picture.  I used my camera phone instead of my actual camera since the battery has died on it and needs to be charged.
