More Mac Into the Groove! and Chanel Swatches

So I went back to Mac and ended up getting Style Influencer Mineralize Eyeshadow!

When I went in the day Into the Groove came out, the only eyeshadow I got was Soften the Mood, but I kept thinking back to Style Influencer and the great dark blue (reminded me of Nars Night Flight).

It is a GREAT trio!  the brownish shade I thought was goign to be to reddish, and I am not a fan of reddish eyeshadows, I think they make you look sick. but I was wrong about this one! its a great crease color for blending a smokey eye, then the white is a great highlight.

And I also got two Chanel Eyeshadows, Vert Khaki, and Taupe Gris, i havent had enough time to play with them yet, so I am sure there will be some upcoming posts about them!

here are the swatches!

Another Nars Look I Love!

This is another Nars look I love! I have most of the products and have recreated it myself and love it.  Elsa is a greatly overlooked eyeshadow duo (probably becuase its not sold at sephora)  the lilac side is GORGEOUS!

WHO: NARS Cosmetics and Leighton Meester (of Gossip Girl)


WHAT: NARS Cosmetics lead stylist, Norman Sands created the actress’ look for the 3.1 phillip lim show where she was seated in the front row.

NARS lead stylist, Norman Sands, created Leighton Meester’s look for the 3.1 phillip lim show on Wednesday, September 10th, during New York Fashion Week. Meester prefers subtle makeup with little fuss, so Sands focused on giving her a naturally radiant look.

Beginning with staple products from NARSskin, Sands prepped Meester’s skin with NARSskin Mud Mask ($45) followed by a mix of NARSskin Aqua Gel Hydrator ($76) and Brightening Serum ($61), which gave her face an overall glow.

Sands then added a small amount of NARS Firming Foundation in Punjab ($50) around the actress’ eyes and nose. He applied NARS The Multiple Bronzer in Tuomota and The Multiple in Maldives ($37) to give her cheeks a sun-kissed look.

To create her bright, shimmering eyes, Sands started with NARS Single Eyeshadow in Cyprus ($22) as a base and added NARS Single Eyeshadow in Blondie along with NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Elsa ($32). Finally, to finish the eye, Sands mixed NARS Single Eyeshadow in China Blue and Bali. He then added a small amount of NARS Mascara in Bamboo ($23).

Meester’s lips were moisturized with NARS Lip Balm in Sabrina ($23). NARS Lip Liner Pencil in Fantasia ($20) was then applied and topped off with the NARS Lip Gloss Duo in Giza/Boogie Nights ($24).

To add a natural glow, Sands added NARS Blush in Super Orgasm ($25) on Meester’s cheeks and forehead.
