// BASE + FACE //
*Burberry Cashmere Foundation in Honey:
Luxurious and buildable medium to full coverage with a velvety finish that makes the complexion look smooth and healthy, this foundation formula is excellent for those seeking a lightweight formula with impressive coverage. Honey is a good match for my currently NC 25-30 skin and I will be sharing swatches of all shades in the very near future!
*Sisley-Paris Concealer #3 (reviewed HERE):
Just a dab of this concealer with skincare benefits–blended under eyes–allows me to look much more rested than I feel.
*Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Diffused Bronze Light (reviewed HERE):
Applied with my *Surratt Beauty Artistique Cheek Brush, this finely-milled bronzer has a resplendent, nearly matte true tan effect that contours and warms without looking the slightest bit conspicuous.

*Dolce & Gabbana Blush of Roses Creamy Face Coloring Rose Calizia (also reviewed HERE)
I used my fingers to blend this stunning cream on the apples of my cheeks; it’s richly pigmented and slightly glowy for a fresh-faced look that lasts for hours.
*Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Incandescent Electra (reviewed HERE)
Just a touch on my upper cheeks for additional pinky-toned radiance.
*Chantecaille Poudre Lumiere (reviewed HERE)
Applied with my *Surratt Beauty Artistique Highlight Brush, I swept this champagne delight along my brow bones and down the bridge of the nose for the ultimate in luminosity.

| All about eyes. |
// EYES //
*Giorgio Armani Cruise Collection Sunset Eye Palette:
This dramatically beautiful palette features a radiant of matte ivory beige. Also, radiant golden bronze and green-tinged charcoal for a gilded look that can take eyes to next-level smolder. I prefer to use the golden bronze as a wash of all-over color. Then, use the ivory to blend to the brow bone and apply a touch of the charcoal green at the crease (see below) for extra impact.
*Tom Ford Fiber Brow in Chestnut (reviewed HERE):
This slightly deeper shade works well with my tan(ner) skin and the formula adds polish and definition to brows while staying in place all day.
*Sisley So Intense Mascara (reviewed HERE):
Two coats for full and fluttery lashes…it’s a daily routine for me.

- *Gucci Lipliner in Rose Dragee (reviewed HERE): A quintessential nude beige to gently define the lips.
- *Miss Sicily Colour & Care Lip Color in Isabelle: A gorgeous wash of coral nude with impeccable shine.
- Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Rouge #11 (reviewed HERE): A peachy pink that has permanent residence in my purse, this is my go-to gloss daily.

// STYLE NOTES //
A.L.C. Kaius Knit Midi Dress:
It’s the most scrumptious shade of muted green. This dress can be dressed up or dressed down and the length adds a fascinating appeal. I bought mine for full price in late spring but it is now on sale, making it the perfect time to splurge in your size!
Nike Air Zoom Tennis Shoes:
For a long day exploring, I opted for these ultra comfortable sneakers. It has a cushion of air that my feet utterly appreciate. The sleek black tone allow them to match virtually anything.
Black Leather Jacket:
With classic lines and a slightly shorter cut, I reach for my moto jacket constantly. It pairs well with dresses and looks fabulous with jeans. I consider it a timeless and versatile investment.
Vintage Cartier Bracelets:
Not a day goes by that I am not glad I pursued these timeless gems when I had the chance. Since I never take them off, they get more wear than nearly everything else I own!

HI Rachel! Love seeing you on your London adventure! On our trip to Italy and France, this spring, I loved seeing fashionable ladies wearing "trainers" with all sorts of outfits. That green dress is stunning and I am sure you have walked the streets in search of all sorts of finds. You look fabulous and the makeup offerings are wonderful. Thanks for a great post!
Hi Debi,
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Yes, so glad that tennis shoes and dresses are an acceptable combination these days!
Hope your 4th is incredible!
