Shopping FOTD

This look is actually from yesterday when my family and I went to Victoria Gardens for some shopping and dinner. I picked up a cute skirt and top from H&M and hopefully I will be able to post an outfit of the day featuring it soon. There was a freak summer thunderstorm but luckily my makeup held up!

Products used:
Urban Decay Naked Palette Virgin, Half Baked, Toasted, and Hustle
Stila Smudgepot in Black
Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara
Chanel Rouge JC on cheeks
MAC Gana to highlight
MAC To the Beach Creme Bronzer to contour

*I had a little of MAC Marquise D on my lips but after I left the house, I switched to Chanel's Genial l/s but forgot to take a pic!

Chanel Fall 2011 Haul & Swatches

So Chanel recently came out with their Fall 2011 makeup line, also introducing the new Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow ($36). I picked up three of these (Epatant, Ebouli, and Emerveille) and I'm tempted to go back for more. I also got the new Prelude quad ($57), which is being added to the permanent line.

Direct Sunlight L-R: Epatant, Emerveille, Ebouli

Indirect Sunlight L-R: Epatant, Emerveille, Ebouli

Les Ombres 4 Prelude indirect sunlight

Les Ombres 4 Prelude artificial light

Les Ombres 4 Prelude Direct Sunlight

Overall, I really love the new Illusion D'Ombre mousse shadows. They are very long wearing and do not crease. I've heard people say they are to sparkly, but I love sparkle on my eyes. That being said, check them out in person if you are wary of sparkle. The eyeshadows in the quad  are smooth and blendable and will be perfect for fall. It provides the colors for a classic, easy smokey eye.

Very First EOTD

So I thought that it would be fun to actually start taking pictures of my makeup and would love to have them for future use. I had to use my phone for these pics but I hope to get a camera real soon for better quality pictures.

I used Urban Decay's 15th Anniversary Palette for the eyes and the colors I used were:
Vanilla
Omen
Deep End
Ace
Half Truth
Stila Black Smudgepot
L'Oreal Voluminous
