Brown Smokey Eye

I attempted doing a smokey eye using Smoke & Diamonds & Carbon and it just didn't work at all for me.  I guess silvers & grays are not my thing sadly. 

So here is what I did instead.  A light gold, brown & black smokey eye.  Please excuse the cheesy pouting & kissy face!!!

Does anyone else have a problem pulling off certain colors?

Sephora Goodies

I recently picked up a few things from Sephora that I have been meaning to try.

They are...

*Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Rude*

I have never owned a cream blush before but I am absolutely loving this! The color is a coraly pink and the consistency is creamy but not thick. The blush is perfect on my skin tone & would look great on anyone I think. I will definitely be purchasing more of these in the near future.

 *Benefit Boi-ing & Eye Bright Duo*

I have been wanting to try Boi-ing for a while now but when I saw this duo featured on Belle Du Jour's blog for only $8 I had to get it immediately. The concealer is in shade #2 and it is a warmer color that also matches my skin color pretty well. I'm afraid this would be too dark for those with fairer skin. So far I'm liking this more than my Mac Studio Finish. It is creamy and covers dark circles excellently. The Eye Bright half of this product is just a pink highlighter that doesn't do too much for me.

*Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine*

I've been reading about this on several blogs so i decided to try it. Jasmine is light pink in color and smells delicious. It is very moisturizing on the lips. Retails for $9. Love it!

*Sephora by OPI nail colour in Dark Room*

A gorgeous dark green shade, part of their new Film Noir Collection. A hot color for fall!

*Win a free one Here*

*OPI Ate Berries in the Canaries* (from Ulta..oops)

A fuchsia cream polish part of the new Espana collection. 

Can't wait to get a mani/pedi with this.

I also found this cute box at T.J. Maxx. I just love the flower & bird details. I've been keeping miscellaneous eyeshadows and powders in here. It was a steal at only $5.99!

Please let me know what you think about these products.

I love hearing about new must-haves.  Thanks for reading. xox

Classic all - white kitchen

When New York interior designer Victoria Hagan bought her house, “a real fixer-upper” in Connecticut, she could see it had serious potential. The kitchen, with its view of Long Island Sound and an enormous old stove, was a space to fall for. To increase all three, she raised the ceilings and installed new cabinets and Carrara marble countertops. The farm sink and faucet are from Waterworks;

Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection Haul & FOTD

MAC's new collection was released on Thursday and of course I headed straight to the mall after work to check it out.  It's a pretty large collection consisting of new Technakohl liners (my fav.), pigments, glitters, eyeshadows, lipsticks and lipglasses. 

I picked up the pigment in Brash & Bold, technakohl eyeliners in Artistic License and Full of Fuchsia.  I also got a sample of the Fuchsia glitter.  I don't normally wear neon or bright colors on my eyes but I thought this collection was really funky & fun.  I am loving the promo image (above left) by Marilyn Minter.  I would love to recreate something similar.  

My makeup for Saturday night was pretty much what I always do but with a pop of color.

White Interior Design Inspiration : Long Island White Castle

A castle is not exactly my dream home decorator and if you only add white and black, then it's worse. But there is something about the White Castle and I’m not sure what.

Believe me I’ve been looking at these pictures for over an hour now and it’s somehow addictive. Designed by architect Steve Blatz for a private art dealer - Olivier Renaud-Clément - the 1,500-square-foot immaculate city loft was intended to showcase his collection of art & Italian design from the 60s and 70s.

The clean sharp shapes, the mixture between a highly modern architecture and the best bush furniture collection, the no-doors living space plus the monochromatic scheme really appeal to me.

There were tiny specks of mint green in the dress so I went with Mac's Peppermint Patti for my nails. Very pretty color, but I'm not the biggest fan of their polishes as they tend to chip on me. Does anyone match their nails to outfits?
