REMEMBER THIS?

      Remember this? Chanel's S/S 2014 collection makeup. Well, I love it and I never got to tell you. I'm in love with the contrast of the eye makeup and light colored clothes coming down the Chanel runway. I'm usually one for a natural look or something a little more subtle. But, surprisingly it worked so well and the colors where so precise.    
     
       What did you think? Where you shocked, bewildered, struck with starry eyes?  Do you think designers are sometimes stuck in their ways when it comes to their nude pallet on the catwalk? No? What was your ideal makeup look this season?

THE PINK EGG

       It is, in fact, all i could hope for! Granted if you're like me, or anyone else for that matter, you're wondering "what the heck is that?".  But then again, a lot of you may have heard of, or got  your hands on The Pink Egg, you may have also heard of it in my previous post.  I swear it makes your makeup look photo-shopped. No one likes the stripy brushstrokes, this little guy completely eliminates that and gives an amazing look to foundations, blushes, and pretty mush anything... I've been tempted to use it for cream eye-shadows.

      The only down side I've seen yet is that they get dirty pretty fast, even with washing them after every use. So buying them will have to happen pretty consistently, probably around every four months or so.

LOVES JOURNEY

  
  This OPI happy/not so happy nail polish is my new favorite. I was looking for the perfect dark purple and was able to score this on sale (which, as we all know- validates everything). Though I'm not a huge nail polish person, I can't seem to get past the dark nail colors, or classic white.

      Here's a little flash back and reminder from this spring, I wrote this for my  first personal blog (The Wood Tumblr) post and have though of it frequently lately. Reading this compels me to think, always leaving me with a desire to write more. Enjoy:

     "I am in the woods. My life is not “in the clear” and hope it never will be. I am in it. This is me hopeful that my life is never rid of what’s inside me. I want to forever remember who I am, and the one who made me. To forget who you are is to forget Love. You may think of Love every hour of everyday but do you remember what’s been done in you by Love? This is my journey of a constant reminder. welcome."

MAKEUP FAVS

Is anyone else enjoying rain? This has been such a beautiful week so far, it's only beginning and is escalating to craziness. So many lovely people coming into town (starting today) , I won't know what to do with myself.
Above is the  ACURE oil control moisturizer, finding one that works for my oily skin isn't easy; and I love this! That and my ULTA primer & foundation are my favorite things in the makeup bag right now. I bought the ULTA foundation as a quick fix but have found I love the way it goes on, it's very sheer and light feeling.
