Makeup Of The Day- Warm Neutrals Edition


I'm really happy with today's makeup products and thought I'd share my warm natural winter look. 

Recently I picked up this beautiful Dior Holiday 5 Colour Eyeshadow palette in 566 Versailles. The colors are so warm and shimmer, the perfect festive natural eye makeup look. The shadows are so pretty and who doesn't love a luxury palette? 

After a brief visit to mac this week, I was reminded of an old favorite blush that I use to wear everyday. MAC Mineralized Blush in Warm Soul is so beautiful and one of the most wearable blushes on all skin tones. 

Thanks to a friend/ viewer I was recently given the new Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation. This has been out for a few months now, but it is a great alternative to my all time favorite Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua Foundation. I wear beige 20 in both. Full review and First Impressions video will be up on Monday on my channel

A recent discovery has been the Laura Geller Baked Split Highlighter Duo. I first heard about this from Tati on GlamLifeGuru's Channel. On Wednesday I was having a pretty horrible day emotionally and decided to stop in to Ulta to put my 20% off coupon to good use. There were only 2 of these beauties left, and I 'm so happy I got this. It's got a matte side and a super shimmery side that works for natural looks and evening looks. 

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla is a holy grail product for me. I love how it covers and brighten my under eye area. It lasts all day, doesn't crease, and is just a little magic wand. 

Today I broke out my new mascara from Dior and I have to say it's a slightly wetter formula version of Benefit's They're Real Mascara, both up there in price, but there's something about this Dior packaging that I am loving.

Makeup of The Day- Current Winter Favorites


Today's post is a quick one. Here are my current favorites I've been reaching for daily. This week I'm playing with different pops of color by adding in some colour pop cosmetics on the eyes. Find out more about the super affordable U.S.A. made Colour Pop Cosmetics from my last post here.

Tom Ford Color Quad in Cocoa Mirage
My favorite everyday neutral palette

Tom Ford Cream Eyeshadow in Spice (limited edition)
This is my obsession this session! The cream is so fluffy and light. Super pigmented and versatile.

Tom Ford Eye Defining Liquid Liner Pen
The best liquid liner I've ever encountered. Makes winged liner quick and easy.

Tom Ford Lip Color Matte in Pussycat
I love a good mauve lip color for everyday winter wear. This is a new addition to my collection. The matte formula feels great and not over drying. The color pay off is rich and pigmented and who doesn't love pulling out a luxurious lipstick to re apply?

NARS blush in Almeria Limited Edition Holiday
I find that I don't like to fuss around too much with blushes and I tend to stick to one for months at a time. This NARS blush is the perfect deep wine shade that adds a little color to the face, but does not overwhelm in case you are wearing a bolder lip and eyes.

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara
A favorite mascara of mine, it lengthens, volumizes, and curls the mascara without smudging.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude 
My favorite lipliner at the moment. The formulation is soft and rich. I love the nude shade to go with most lipsticks I wear.

Colour Pop Super Shock Shadow in Not a Drift
These shadows truly are amazing. I purchased the "Not a Box of Chocolates" holiday super shock shadow collection and I'm loving every single shade. Read my full review on Colour Pop Cosmetics here.

What have you been loving lately? What do you find your reaching for everyday?
