Copper Sparkle LOTD

One of the makeup trends for this winter season is metallic eyes and red lips. I voted in my poll on the top right side of my blog, that I was going to try both trends (metallic eyes and red lips). This look is starring the beautiful frost copper sparkle pigment. Since the pigment is very sparkly and has copper flecks in it, I kept the browbone and crease area very neutral and subdued. Here's the look.






PRODUCTS USED

Eyes

-Elf brow kit in medium
-Urban Decay primer potion
-Mac Copper Sparkle pigment on lid
-Mac Texture e/s in crease
-Mac Studio Finish concealer NC45 as highlight
-L'oreal Double Extend illuminator mascara in black quartz
-Black Radiance creme liner in black
-Mac Engraved powerpoint eye pencil on top & bottom lashlines

Face

-Black Opal Cream to Powder foundation in Heavenly Honey
-Bobbi Brown peach corrector under eyes
-Mac Gingerly blush
-Mac Blunt blush to contour

Lips

-Avon glimmersticks lip liner in red brick
-Mac Red lipstick


Will you try the metallic eyes, red lips, both or neither this season? Be sure to vote in my poll on the top right!

This look is really pretty Gabs! You know I love my neutrals, lol, so this is right up my alley.

I checked 'red lips' in your poll. I scored some reds from Cherry Culture a few weeks ago, so I've been slowly playing with them trying to see which work best. My goal is to get very comfy with red lips in the coming months!

@Sharon: Thanks, girl... you're so sweet :-)

@Agent Elle: Thanks, Lynnie. I have been doing a lot of neutrals lately. I guess I'm getting hooked on them.

I'm glad you're going to do red lips, I know it's going to look good cause red looks hot on everybody.

How I Refurbished my Louis Vuitton Speedy...

I bought an authentic preloved Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy bag a few months back. While I was so excited to finally get the bag and wear it, I realized (at that time of buying and when I received it) that the bag had some wear on it that could use some fixing up. After searching online, I found a blogger,  Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red interi

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face.

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig
