Shakeup Your Makeup

So, leave it to me to order the Today's Special Value yesterday, which was Bare Escentuals Champagne Diamond 10 piece kit.   It is absolutely beautiful and has crushed champagne diamonds infused right into each color.  More importantly, they are going to have three more kits made with diamonds (Canary, Pink and Black diamonds) over the course of the next year (spring, summer and fall)!  This was also the launch of their new, all natural, mineral lip gloss, which looked absolutely beautiful in the presentation.  I will definitely swatch all of these once I have the kit in hand (soon I hope!).

For Halloween this year, I knew we weren't going to a costume party, so I decided to be festive for the day with my makeup. Unfortunately, I had to work as well, so it had to be something relatively work appropriate. Since I had just received my new Fryinnae order, I decided to use some of my new colors in the look. I absolutely love their eyeshadows, so this was an easy look to achieve!

Face:
Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealor "Light"
Bare Escentuals Foundation "Medium"
Bare Escentuals Feather Light Mineral Veil
Everyday Minerals Blush "Theme Park"

Eyes:
L'oreal DeCrease Eyeshadow Primer
Fryinnae "Red Panda" - inner corner of lid
Taylor Made Minerals "Sage" - outer corner of lid
Fryinnae "Newcastle" - crease
Fryinnae "Polar Bear" - high light
Fryinnae "Little Red's Pet Wolf" - lower lash line
Maybelline Colossal Mascara "Glam Black"

I received my order from Fryinnae last week - I ordered quite a few neutral eyeshadows, but also wanted to try out a few of the Lip Lustres, as I have been quite intrigued by the colors online. One of the colors I picked was "Kitten Ears", which is a beautiful bronze/gold color (see below).

I wore this on Halloween, with some orange/green eyeshadow combos (which I will post in a bit). The color is absolutely beautiful! It lets the natural color of your lips show through, but adds a beautiful bronze shimmer over the top. The color payoff, and lasting ability, of the Lip Lustres is fantastic, and for the $2.50 a piece, I definitely will repurchase!

I know I've been a bit MIA recently, but let me take this time to remind you all to go cast your ballot!
