Happy Friday, lovelies. As so many that have preceded it, this week was a flash! In the haste of the past few days (ending one semester, beginning another), I have found myself reaching for products that can easily create a full face in a matter of minutes…the rush out the door each morning is real. From freshly-released Tom Ford to trusty By Terry, here are some of my favorites of the week:
Kindly scroll on for more details,
Products Used:
- Le Metier de Beaute Peau Vierge #2 (not pictured, reviewed HERE): A constant staple in my routine.
- *By Terry Light-Expert Click Brush Foundation #05 (reviewed HERE): This foundation never disappoints me…velvety medium coverage and a wildly stalwart lasting finish, it will always be within arms reach!
- *Chantecaille Compact Soleil in St. Barth (reviewed HERE): A gorgeous bronze for my winter skin, it looks natural while massively improving my pale pallor.
- *La Prairie Cellular Radiance Cream Blush in Lotus Glow (reviewed HERE): Just a touch of this limited-edition shade on the apples of the cheeks creates a stunning rosy glow…indisputably one of my new favorite releases of this past month.
- *Vintage by Jessica Liebeskind Illuminating Face Highlighter in Rose Gold (brand reviewed HERE): Super silky and delicately glowing, this latest release from the sublime Vintage line is simply stunning. I love wearing it on the high points of my face and down the bridge of my nose for a soft glow that looks ethereal yet casual enough for an everyday face. More on this gleaming beauty and her sister shade (Crystal Pink) soon!
- Tom Ford Disco Dust Eyeshadow Palette: One glance at the incandescent, highly-pigmented Disco Dust and I knew it had to be mine. Replete with a warm beige sand, dusky thistle brown, peachy copper and insanely light reflecting grey-tinged cream, this quartet, unequivocally, creates a trancendently gorgeous eye. The shimmering grey-cream shade is so luminous that it looks nearly wet when applied (mind-bogglingly marvelous) and the peachy copper is one of those shades one could wear daily without growing tired of it…no regrets whatsoever on this purchase.
- Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara (reviewed HERE): Two coats for lush, dark, voluminously long lashes.
- *Surratt Beauty Expressioniste Brow Pomade (reviewed HERE): My brows don’t a day without this grooming genius…the quickest way to get polished without an ounce of fuss.
- *Edward Bess Lip Definer in Barely (reviewed HERE): This creamy, warm pinky nude plays ever so well with my lip color choices and noticeably extends lip color longevity.
- *Le Metier de Beaute Moisture Matte Lipstick in a mixture of L’Ete Indien + La Vie en Rose (reviewed HERE): Both shades have a permanent home in my handbag…the depth of the pink L’Ete Indien mixed with the nude splendor of La Vie en Rose creates the quintessential pinky nude lip every single time. The duo was my lip of choice 3 out of 5 days this week!

Bottom Line: I hope you enjoyed this overview of some of my beauty favorites of the week! If you love warm taupy neutrals as much as I do, then Tom Ford Disco Dust is a must. Additionally, the Rose Gold highlighter from Vintage by Jessica Liebeskind is an excellent foray into this gorgeously edited beauty line. I implore you to check both out if you are so inclined.

That Tom Ford Quad is so so so so gorgeous! <3
Loved the look babe 😀
Isn't it dreamy, Eesha?! I think I like it even more than the coveted TF Honeymoon!

I know.. they so incredibly beautiful.. I haven't had to chance to get my hands on these new releases yet.. No wonder they are out of stock everywhere that ship to India!
Rachel, I really like the look. You look ready for spring. The colors on you are glowing. I think that Tom Ford palette is perfect for blonde hair and blue eyes. The darkest shade on your eyes is perfection. Thanks for the product reviews.
Many thanks to you, Debi! I so appreciate your detailed feedback!
Hope your Monday evening is lovely, my friend…XO,
