Mask of the Day {Orange Julius}

Here is a quick Mask before I headed out the door. Excuse the weird eyes. I seem to be having an allergic reaction to something so they have been a bit on the puffy side which in turn makes me look like an alien. Here I decided to keep the eyes simple and focus on the lips. I used the other Revlon lipgloss I purchased last month in the coral color. I'm definitely ready for Spring now!





Products used:

Face:
MAC Strobe cream mixed with MAC Studio Finish tinted moisturizer in Medium Dark, Neutrogena loose powder in Medium, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish pressed in Medium Deep as Bronzer

Eyes:
Lid- Stila Sun, Crease - Stila Twig (mostly on the outer 3/4 of the crease), Browbone - Stila Starlight (lightly)
Liner - Top lid MAC Blacktrack fluidline, bottom waterline MAC Teddy Kohl liner, Mascara - Loreal Lashout and MAC Falselash

Cheeks:
MAC Beauty Powder loose in Natural Flare (limited edition but if you have a Pro store near you check out their Beauty powders! Amazing!)

Lips:
Liner - MAC lipglass liner in Rosebound (Limited), MAC lipstick in Strawberry Blonde (Limited), gloss - Revlon Super Lustrous gloss in Coral Reef

I'm doing things alittle different this week. Since I have a tendency to buy and fall in love with limited edition products (Its my curse. I'm a gluten for punishment) I have decided to add pictures of the products and swatches as well. That way you can see what the color looks like and realize you may just have a magically similar product at home! I do my best to give you options as far as other products, but sometimes I'm not always aware of what might be a duplicate, so please share if you do!! :)









Hopefully you found that helpful!

Outfit {lazy daze}

Monday I had one of those perfect days. No work or looming deadlines over head. Beautiful weather. And the boyfriend free from work and school type duties. So we decided to take a stroll through the downtown for some site seeing. We took the Angel's flight up the hill, walked through the Grand Central market, and ventured down to China Town for some delectable cuisine. All in all a perfect day.

Spring Inspired

The weather has reverted back to feeling like Spring in the land of the "LAh", I can't help but daydream about Spring inspired fancies. Florals and sheer draperies and bright colors OH MY! It must have been the Santa Ana teaser that has me in a fever. She's a wily temptress that one.

These taunts are from the Free People lookbook. How amazing are the Paris shots! So chic! I need every single one of them in my life!!! My inner hippie rejoices!












So the last 2 are actually from the Anthropologie catalog, but amazing none the less. The make-up in that catalog was quite beautiful as well. BRAVA ANTHRO!

Outfit {Brick, Mortar and Fur)

I think I felt inspired after my shoot the other day with all the fabulous leather pant looks! All I have wanted to do since is live in them. Was on my way out to dinner yesterday to this delicious German Brawt house in the Downtown (Wurtskutch... think that's how it's spelt) and then off for drinks in the Gallery Bar at the Millennium Biltmore. If you love old buildings and architecture you should check it out.

Though I tend to have a flare for brights and prints, lately I find myself trying to incorporate more minimal styles and classics in the wardrobe. They are a nice balance for my more outlandish items. Today I felt like going alittle edgier than usual, with the leather pants and lace up wedges, but threw in a loose silk tunic and faux fur vest to keep it from being too hard. And how great is the bag! I do adore it.

I was feeling a bit whimsical yesterday. That and I just love anything old and worn looking. I'm kinda diggin this photo location for outfit posts. Alittle romantic. What do you think?



Happy Superbowl!! GO PACKERS!
