Sometimes a beauty look is the culmination of a single product. Case in point…this post. Enchanted by the creamy lapis blue that is the new Burberry Nail Polish in Imperial Blue, I felt inspired to embrace an eclectic approach that yielded two fish tails, a clean canvas, a subtle cat eye and a breezy pink pout. It’s times like these that no rhyme or reason makes the most sense!
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of the products in action as well as the Bottom Line…
Above: Products for my FOTD.
Products Used:
Chanel Vitalumiere Powder Foundation in B30 (available in Europe and Asia only)…this whisper light formula offers incredible coverage and a natural, lasting finish that places it at the top of my current mineral powder favorites!
Burberry Wet & Dry Glow Eyeshadow in Shell…I am totally smitten with this new formula, which features smooth color payoff and no creasing. Shell is a glowing warm beige with a blindingly beautiful luster. I added this over Handsome for a bit of shine. Comprehensive review of the new Burberry shadows forthcoming!
Surratt Beauty Autographique liner (reviewed HERE)…simply the best liquid liner on the market…used in this post to create a sleek cat eye that doesn’t budge.
By Terry Baume de Rose Gloss (reviewed HERE)…I now have two tubes of this wonder elixir in my possession and I hope I am never without it again in my life. As a balm, lip color base and shiny gloss, it is endlessly marvelous.
Marc Jacobs P(Outliner) lip liner in Honeybun…this ultra smooth lipliner applies effortlessly, creating a stunning trail of opaque color; better yet, it lasts for hours on end. Honeybun is a charming peachy pink that is especially befitting for pinks and nudes.
Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Georgie Girl…a lusciously creamy and hydrating formula, the new Le Marc in Georgie Girl is pale pink perfection in a tube. I adore it ever so much…I even bought two more to give as gifts ; )

Bottom Line: I hope you enjoyed this eclectic FOTD…I embrace a relatively restrained and natural look so often that sometimes it’s amusing to change it up ; ) Although I use many of these splendid products on a regular basis, the new standouts for me, personally, include the La Prairie Cellular Radiance Cream Blush, Marc Jacobs (P)Outliner in Honeybun and Burberry Wet & Dry Glow Eyeshadow in Shell. All three perform so well and are delightful updates to one’s spring makeup approach!
Good things ahead, including a recap of the Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills Project Beauty event that I hosted, fresh product procurements, a sunscreen feature and a full review of the Burberry Spring/Summer releases. Oh, and I am still working on comment and email responses ; )
Happy Daylight Savings Day + have a blessed Sunday…xx,

That look is so cute & girly! I'm interested in that chanel vitalumiere powder foundation (Asian edition). Is it possible to get it online? Help!!! Thanks?
You look beautiful!! So fresh and lovely. Love your hair as well!! Do you have any suggestions for purchasing products that are only available in Asia and/or Europe?? Thanks!!
Many thanks for the supportive words! With regards to your question, I suggest BoboDave for Asian products and eBay for anything you can't find on the BoboDave site. Harrod's and Selfridges online are fabulous for European products!
Hello my gorgeous BP!
How is life going? I just came back from a 2 weeks vacation and started to catch up with my beauty reads. I have much work to do! I cannot wait to watch your February favorites video.
A mosquito bit my chin (my very first vacation day!) and now I have a huge purple mark on it. What will you recommend to erase it? My concealer gathers on it and looks gray and awful. I need this stain out of my face.
Back to reading your posts now 🙂
Thanks for the sweet comment! Welcome back from your vacation (2 weeks…how marvelous!)…happy to be a part of your catch up reading ; )
So sorry to hear about your mosquito bite…I hope it has healed by now but in case it hasn't, I suggest neutralizing the dark spot with a bit of yellow or green corrector (Koh Gen Do and Physician's Formula both make great options) and then follow with concealer.

Thanks, Lynn!!
I found the Chanel Vitalumiere Powder on eBay from a Canadian seller (that ships to the US). It took awhile to track down but shipping was quick!
