Technopagan FOTD - 12/30/14

I decided to test out my most exciting Christmas present to wear, OCC Technopagan! It is just as beautiful in person as everyone's swatches had led me to believe. I love it! I could wear it everyday and be the happiest girl in the world. You know the color is good when the lovely girl who was checking me out at Trader Joe's was gushing over it and before I left told me to keep rocking that lip!

For my face I have been doing my current usual routine. I am really loving the look of the Revlon foundation I have been using. It seems, to me at least, to match my skin tone. It doesn't broadcast any dry spots on my face. Best of all? It doesn't settle into any of my fine lines. It looks better on me than MUFE HD foundation and is a better everyday foundation that Illamasqua Skin Base because of the price point. I will be repurchasing when I go though the two bottles I have now. My only complaint? It doesn't have a pump. :(

How can you not just be filled with joy when you see such a wonderful lip color!?

Valentine's Day 5/14 - Smokey Brown Eye Using Kat Von D Evelyn Palette

Today is day five of my Valentine's series. I wanted to do a smokey look using Kat Von D's Evelyn Palette. This palette contains my favorite browns from her line and can create a few nice simple looks. The quality of the shadows is good, and it would be great for a beginner or someone looking for something to throw in their purse that can create an everyday work appropriate look and then be able to add a little to take you from day to night.

What I used

Eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Kat Von D Evelyn Palette
Jane Fan Club Curling Mascara

Lips
