Super Lazy Space Cow FOTD - 1/20/15

*I had a different blog post planned for Tuesday and I lost my notes that I needed to type up so now I will have to redo everything before I can share it with you. That got me all discombobulated because I spent so much time looking for it so I never got anything done until today. Bad blogger!*

I wanted to wear some makeup, but didn't really want to be bothered. Makes sense, no? I pulled out my binder of indie shadows and looked for a nice purple all over wash of color type shade. I decided Femme Fatale's Space Cow was just that shade. Femme Fatale's website describes this shade as: a soft lavender eye shadow tinged with grey and highlighted by a muted reddish pink shimmer. Personally I find it to be a nice pastel blue leaning lavender with a pretty light blue and pink shift.

What I used:
Korres Mattifying Primer
Revlon Colorstay Foundation - 110 Ivory & 150 Buff
ELF High Definition Powder
Benefit-  Dandelion
Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick - Sydney
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Cannes
ELF Eyebrow Kit - Dark
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
LASplash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base
Wet n Wild - Brulee
Femme Fatale - Space Cow

What do you think?

I really love being lazy with my makeup because that means I can wear it more often and still have time for life. Beautiful indie shadows with a nice duochrome really make for a nice look without much effort.

A+

What's your favorite duochrome indie shadow?

This Week's FOTDs - 1/12-1/167/14

Here's how my face looked this week. I was pretty lazy, but that's nothing new. I tried something different and I am not entirely sure I liked it. I honestly think my favorite look on my face, for me, is winged liner and bold lips. It's my comfort zone. Every time I do any kind of eye makeup lately, I am just not a fan of how it looks. *shrug* suggestions?

Benefit - Dandelion

Today is just going to be a quick review of Benefit's Dandelion blush. I purchased this during the Sephora Friends and Family Sale. The back of the packaging says: Finely spun with delicate mauves and pinks, this exquisite brightening face powder leaves a petal like finish.

Swatches

Heavily swatched, blended out

This is my first real Benefit product. I have a sample of Girl meets Pearl but I have not used it yet. I was looking for a sugary sweet pink and this hit the spot because it is a very light, slightly shimmery, soft pink.

Do you like Dandelion? Do you have any other Benefit products?

What would be your suggestion for my next purchase?

Sephora Friends and Family Haul

I just received my package early last week of the stuff I ordered during Sephora's Friends and Family sale. I purchased four items. This was the most exciting out of all my Sephora purchases. Why you ask? Because I ordered from brand I have never tried before! I have heard nothing but good, no, GREAT things about these brands and finally got the guts to try them myself.

I will start with Benefit's Dandelion blush. The package says it is "Finely spun with delicate mauves and pinks, this exquisite brightening face powder leaves a petal like finish. This is my first real Benefit product. I received a sample of Girl Meets Pearl, but I have not tried that yet. I was looking for a very light sugary sweet pink blush and I found everything I wanted in this.

Next I picked up two products from NARS. I was initially looking to pick up Orgasm but when I was reading through reviews I decided to pick up Deep Throat instead. Someone had said it was a less shimmery version of Orgasm so I thought why not? I wasn't really in the market for anything too shimmery and I felt this would fill that spot. Deep Throat is peach with shimmer.

The other NARS product I picked up I totally just picked up on a whim. Honestly I mostly bought it because of the name, but I also think that this could be a totally wearable everyday shade for me. Drum roll please...I present to you...NARS BARBARELLA!!!  Barbarella is a sheer peach.

Last but not least I picked up a Makeup Forever eye shadow in none other than Purple 92. This color has been calling my name for months and I finally gave in. Who can say no to a matte bright purple!?

What did you end up picking up from the F+F sale? How was your first time trying a brand new brand?
