Must have sharpeners? Yep, I said it, these sharpeners are must haves for any beauty lover who uses things in pencil form. A $3 pencil sharpener from the drugstore just doesn’t cut it sometimes, and these sharpeners from Nars and Urban Decay have saved the day (many a time!) for me.

This week, I've selected a handful of exciting products to try. Most exciting on the list is the new, limited edition Tom Ford She Wolf eyeshadow trio. I couldn't resist the rave reviews, and I'm really looking forward to trying this out.
I've also included my favorite all around foundation, Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation, in the event that my skin really doesn't get along with Nars Radiant Cream Foundation. I haven't yet made a final decision on the Nars, so hopefully this week will allow for some proper testing. I hope to also make a final decision on Marc Jacobs Highliner in Ro(Cocoa), a pretty brown shade that doesn't seem to irritate my eyes like the black.
Last but not least, I plan to try out some fun new(ish) to me items: Chantecaille Sel Eyeshadow, the cute mini Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Catfight that is a Sephora 100 point perk right now, and the ever popular Tarte Exposed that Gummy gifted to me ages ago.
Hope you enjoyed this peek into my makeup bag - now fingers crossed that I actually manage to wear all of it! :) What is in your makeup bag this week? I'd love to know!

FOTD: Everyday Smoky
I've always been a HUGE fan of smoky eyes, but have spent most of the last year trying to find neutral daytime looks I like. This was my attempt at a smoky eye that was not too wild for everyday or even for a workday. I really liked this look, and it didn't fully translate to photos (still working on this skill!)
Products: Smashbox Limitless Liner in Onyx and Amethyst, Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Hustle & Darkhorse, Mac Eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown, Smashbox The Nude Lip Liner in Fair, Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara, Guerlain Parure Aqua Foundation, Benefit Eye Bright, Lancome Color Design Eyeshadows in Mochachino & Backstage Pass
For some reason, I couldn't figure out what shades to use on my eyes so ended up using a lot of eyeshadows in an attempt to find the color I was looking for... In any event it was nice to use the Lancome shadows I had never used! I'd love to know what you think of this look! :)
