Smoke & Diamonds: FOTD

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!

Well hello there! It's been awhile since I've posted, and since my goal is to give this little ol' blog of mine much more tlc/post more frequently than I did last year.... you get a FOTD!!! This is a look I wore  going out with the family for Papa Bear's birthday. It was a great night out and you all get to see a few new products that I've been trying out over the last few weeks that I'm absolutely loving! My camera wasn't picking up the true color of Smoke & Diamonds, but it is such a pretty silvery, smoked gray that looks AWESOME in a smokey eye look for all eye colors!

Products Used:

Ruby Kisses 3D Face Creator (review/swatches coming)

Ben Nye Banana Powder

NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Powder

Sumita Intense Eye Liner- Black

Has anyone else tried the Ruby Kisses 3D Face Creator? It's been my go to foundation for the last 2.5 weeks :)

Have the most amazing of Valentine's Days everyone!

CVS Haul!!!

 

CVS was having a sale and I couldn't resist trying out a few things I've had my eyes on for awhile. The Physician's Formula items were 40% off and the Maybelline  products were buy one get one 50% off. I wanted the new WnW 24 Carrot Gold lipstick, but it was sold out so I settled for Purty Persimmon, which is lovely in it's own right. And this is my second Dream Bouncy Blush, and even though they take some building I still LOVE them! Enjoy the haul and swatches!

The Haul

 Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Liner- Brown Eyes

 I love that these liners snap together/apart, making them great for storage & travel... plus they're highly pigmented!

 This brush is actually really good!

 The color is richer in person, flash made it appear washed out.

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush- Plum Wine (50)

 Above: Plum Wine Blush blended

Maybelline MasterDrama liner- Coal Commander (Gray)

 Above: Coal Commander in daylight (is actually darker than it appears here)

 Wet N Wild Mega Last lipstick- Purty Persimmon & Covergirl Lip Perfection- Tempt

Maybelline MasterDrama liner- Coal Commander

 What do you guys think of the Physician Formula brand? I've never purchased them before, and I am pleasantly surprised by how great and pigmented the liners are. Have you all tried any of the items in this haul?

Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!
