Pastel Colors with Gray Look

Posted on April 18, 2011 | 4 Comments
With Easter coming up on Sunday, I felt like creating a pastel makeup look with a twist. I surrounded some pastel colors with gray, because it made me think of winter transitioning into spring. For the pastel colors, I used soft blue and pink on my lid and then blended them where they meet to create a light pastel purple shade. I finished the look with a rich violet lip color to tie in the purple eye shadow blend. Read more...

In addition to the floral trend I wrote about in last week's Fashion Friday, sheer lace is in for spring/summer 2011. A design that I've been particularly drawn to is a long lacy skirt that has a mini skirt underneath. I got this Reformed by The Reformation Blanche Skirt at Urban Outfitters. It adds an interesting feminine touch to an outfit. You can also wear it over a solid colored skirt to add a pop of color or leggings to make an edgier look! Read more...

I've been wanting to try Chanel's Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base (also known as Bronze Universel), but I kept putting off buying one since it's pricey.

I've been using this product everyday since I brought it home. :) I don't think this is for everyone though, but if you read my review and find that it's something that would work for you, then I think it's definitely worth the investment!

I've been holding onto a gorgeous MAC Pro Glitter in "Turquoise" for a couple months now, and I finally got around to using it! I put it on top of one of my favorite Inglot eye shadow colors -- a matte teal ("372"). The glitter sparkles so much more than these pictures show! If you don't have this MAC Pro glitter, any cosmetic grade turquoise glitter will do! Read more...

The floral trend is back for Spring 2011. Whether I'm out shopping or just looking at magazines, I've been seeing a lot of prints with flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colors! When I saw this Infinite Garden Tank at Anthropologie, I really liked how the flowers are detailed and aren't as overwhelming as a lot of the prints I've seen. The fabric is lightweight and perfect for warmer weather! Read more...
