The full look.

• *Le Metier de Beaute Detoxifying Charcoal and Coconut Face Mask: This clarifying formula looks downright ethereal on the skin once it dries down; the glassy texture is intriguing, indeed! That being said, the active charcoal and soothing coconut work to gently cleanse pores without irritation, leaving my skin hydrated, clarified and extra glowy. 
• *Rahua Amazon Oil (also available at Net-A-Porter): Originating in the rain forest and rich with anti-oxidants, this multipurpose oil can be used on face and body to moisturize and tone…I love the incredible ingredients and long-lasting hydration, especially in the dry winter air.
• *Decorte Sheer Brilliance in Medium (reviewed HERE): I applied just a few drops of this tinted base to even my complexion; it smells incredible, imparts a subtle glow and possesses impressive SPF…truly a brilliant formula.
• Tom Ford Traceless Foundation Stick in Sable (reviewed HERE): A long-time foundation favorite, I used a touch of this formula in the center of my face to further even and refine my canvas. 
• *Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne: This new fragrance discovery is utterly divine; reminiscent of a walk along a forested sea cliff, the woodsy notes are offset by a refreshing wave of oceanic presence. I own nothing like it in my current fragrance wardrobe and, consequently, am thrilled to add it to the mix.

Face.

// FACE //

• *Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light (reviewed HERE): Applied with my trusty *Surratt Beauty Artistique Cheek Brush, I focused my attention on the hollows of my cheeks and perimeters of my face for warm definition that always looks completely natural. 
• *Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Topaz: Applied with the *Wayne Goss Rose Gold Air-Brush (reviewed HERE), this cool rosy nude highlighter is unlike anything else in my collection. The illuminator is simply gorgeous, imparting a touch of color and lavish amount of incandescence. I applied it to my upper cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose. 
• *Glossier Cloud Paint in Beam (reviewed HERE): Just a pinch on the apples of my cheeks for a peachy flush of radiant color.

Eyes.

• *Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize in Jean: A silky champagne-platinum hue with plenty of luminosity, this cream eyeshadow formula resists creasing and wears flawlessly for hours on end. It’s a breezy wash of color that should be in everyone’s makeup bag…truly classic.
• *Le Metier de Beaute Dualistic Eyeliner in Azul and Roxo: The newest additions to the LMdB line, these color-rich eyeliners in peacock green and russet-meets-garnet glide on and stay in place. For the look below, I applied Azul in my lower water line and Roxo along my upper lash line for a creative yet wearable take on color.
• *Tom Ford Fullscreen Lash Mascara (reviewed HERE): Two coats adds impressive fullness and length…I am loving this new formula!

Lips.

• *Blue Lagoon Iceland Lip Balm: Exceptionally hydrating, this new balm discovery–which harnesses the power of  Blue Lagoon Algae–is well worth the pursuit. 
• *Charlotte Tilbury Walk of Shame: Boasting excellent color payoff, I swept a single coat of this warm berry shade onto my lips.
• *Lipstick Queen Altered Universe Lip Gloss in Time Warp and Space Cadet (also available at Neiman Marcus): The latest from the venerable Lipstick Queen, both of these glimmering glosses are brimming with light-reflecting particles that bathe lips in an incandescent wash of subtle color. In the images that follow, I applied the pink-tinged Time Warp over Walk of Shame for a tender glow and I can’t wait to wear the cooler-toned pearly Space Cadet over nude lip liner. Non-sticky with excellent lasting power, this is tastefully-executed shimmer for grown ups!

• Velvet Cropped Pants in Moss: I recommended these pants in an earlier post and, upon picking them up last weekend, am over the moon with their fit, color and velvety sheen. So good and currently under $40,
• Ragdoll Black Ribbed Tee: Clean, classic and deliciously comfortable, this lightweight ribbed number is on heavy rotation. 
• Grey Cardigan: A staple in my wardrobe, this versatile cardigan is super cozy and long enough to double as an impromptu lightweight coat. 
• Coiled Pony Holders: I use these nonstop and love the color palette of this particular set…at $12, it’s a steal!
