Things I Heart These Days...


Happy Monday everyone! As promised on yesterday's post here's my cosmetics version of my recent loves!

Bronzer as Blush

I'm really into bronzed cheeks these days. I still love my peaches and pinks on the apples but lately I find myself reaching for the bronzer side of my Elf blush and bronzer duo. I've actually been looking for a blush which will give me this color but haven't been able to find one. So I started using this bronzer in stead and I'm pretty happy with it.

No Eyeliner!

I love black eyeliner and really thought I could not live without it. Well, looks like I can! I feel like sometimes black eyeliner makes me look older than I actually am. I also feel like it looks too over the top on me during the daytime. So these days I am reaching more for my Print eye-shadow and using it to line my upper lash line, I then go ahead and smudge the heck out of it! It creates such a soft and sultry look which can easily be worn during the day.

Grain

Grain was one of my first MAC eye-shadows. (Print was the first, can never forget!) I've just recently started using it daily. I've rediscovered Grain while I was in Turkey where I mostly opted for neutral colors due to the scorching hot weather. It's in satin finish and it's a shimmery beige color with some gold to it.  I use it all over my lid in almost all of my looks these days as it pairs perfectly with any crease color.



MAC 227 Large Fluff Brush

I am absolutely in love with this brush! I do have quite a bit of lid space and on the days when I am not doing detailed looks, which I normally don't, I use this brush. Applying lid color with 227 is a breeze. Because it's has more and thicker bristles, it's so easy to pick up product and accurately place it on your lid. I also love that it helps building the eyeshadow much easier. I really feel like it was made for my eyelids. I think this is one brush I never want to be without!


 Neutral/Dark Nail Polishes
I am not really one of those people who wears only neutrals in fall/winter however this is all I feel like lately. I think fall and it's gloominess are getting to me! Here are the nail polishes I go back and forth between...

Revlon Gray Suede - Taupe-y beige
O.P.I. Lincoln Park After Midnight - Blackened deep plum with micro-glitter
O.P.I. Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow - Dark, blackened forest green
O.P.I Visions of Sugarplum - Deep purple with iridescent flecks
Sephora by O.P.I. On Stage - Smokey grayish purple
Rimmel Steel Grey - Mauve-y gray
Essie Material Girl - Deep burgundy
Essie Playa Del Platinum - Pale cement

What are your favorite make-up/beauty related things to do lately?
