This teaching week has been rife with long hours and minimal sleep; that being said, I wanted to preliminarily share some products in the pink and nude family that have made getting ready in a rush a realistic achievement. As pictured above, they are:
- *Jouer Age Repairing Perfector Cream in Natural (reviewed HERE): I forgot how much I love the ease and wearability of this cream foundation. Applied with a damp Beauty Blender, it instantly evens my skin tone and lasts all day. The smooth, flawless finish ranks amongst the top cream compact formulas in my vast collection!
- By Terry Densiliss Concealer in #3 (reviewed HERE): Nothing covers undereye fatigue more naturally…so very worth it.
- *Surratt Beauty Expressioniste Brow Pencil in Brunette (reviewed HERE): Full, polished, groomed brows in mere seconds…my makeup bag is never without this magic wand.
- Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara (reviewed HERE): I am still riding the wave of this gorgeous drugstore mascara formula…two coats effortlessly creates long, dark, voluminous lashes.
- *Burberry Beauty Runway Spring/Summer 2015 Palette (also available for pre-order at Sak’s…additional review forthcoming): This warm, rosy blush is a veritable work of art with a built in cream beige highlighter (in the cloud) for extra versatility. The way it sculpts and contours the cheeks is unequivocally divine.
- Dolce & Gabbana The Pressed Powder in #100 Natural Glow (also available at Saks): With only slightly less coverage than the original D & G Foundation powder, this finely-milled formula is excellent for setting the T-zone and mid-day touch ups. The finish is never powdery, rather, the skin takes on an ultra-smooth, poreless patina that simultaneously appears natural and perfected. Shade #100 Natural Glow is great for NC 20-NC 27 skin.
- Marc Jacobs (P)Outliner in Honeybun (reviewed HERE): The peachy pink opacity of this lush, long wearing formula pairs perfectly with pinks and nudes…perrenially in my possession these days.
- *Burberry Kisses Lipstick in Nude Pink (full review of multiple forthcoming): I am over the moon for this latest lip color formula from Burberry. Plush, color-saturated, buildable coverage with absolutely NO fragrance (or taste, for that matter). This, alone, is a massive improvement on the original, scented formula. The 28 shades (!) are hydrating, long lasting and have a slight sheen for juicy, healthy-looking lips. Nude Pink is a light (but not pale) pinky nude with a creamy finish and no shimmer. I find it to be quite a bit darker than Tom Ford Nude Vanille while marginally lighter than Tom Ford First Time. I absolutely adore Burberry Kisses and cannot wait to feature the rest of the shades I have!

Good things ahead in this crazy, sleep-deprived Daylight Savings week, including a sunscreen feature, a Burberry Spring/Summer ’15 close up (I promise), even more fresh products and a new foundation extravaganza! Now I just need an afternoon at home to finish everything and press “publish” ; )

Wonderful make up look! Nudes and pinks suit you greatly. I'll have to try this powder. I am a D&G foundation lover but have never tried their powders.

Thank you, my friend! I am definitely a creature of habit when it comes to these shades. Ahh…the D&G powders are marvelous…I have both the foundation and touch up version and am always pleased with the texture and performance.

Hi professor! I just ordered one Burberry kisses lipstick yesterday. Guess what color I choice? Oxblood!! It's very new and brave move for me, but I saw people with my complexion wear it on youtube. So stunning! Im glad you review one shade here too, but It looks lighter on your lips than on your wrist?
That's great news, Gloria…excited for you to try this shade! I think it looks a bit lighter on my lips because of the direct sunlight ; ) Enjoy your new lipstick!
