What I Wore, #20

Sometimes I wonder when I'll ever finish any makeup product, with how often I put on makeup for everyday. Oh well, I'm working on it. :) Here's a peek at what I wore a few days this week.

Tom Ford She Wolf, Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, Koh Gen Do Moisture Concealer, Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, Clinique Super Fine Liner for Brows, By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon

I've posted about Tom Ford She Wolf (here) and I'm currently testing out the Koh Gen Do Moisture Concealer and Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in hopes of offering a comparison soon. By Terry's Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon is also an exciting new addition, and the Clinique and Nars have been long time favorites.

Products I Loved: As I'm working through my sample stash for the October Sampler, I've discovered that I quite like the Jack Black Epic Moisture Body Hydrator. It is lightly scented, not greasy to apply, and very comforting on my skin. I'm also liking the Chantecaille Jasmine & Lily Healing Mask, though I'm not sure if I like it enough to spend $79 on it just yet. 

Product Disappointments: Nothing this week that I felt too disappointed about! 

Beauty Purchases: So far so good - I haven't bought anything! Wooohoo. 

Added to the Wishlist: I spotted a jojoba oil at Trader Joe's, and then a set of hand creams that are packaged like L'Occitane. I'm curious to try them, so I may just have to pop them into my cart next time I'm there. I'm slowly adding Sephora Formula X polish and other holiday gift sets to my list too... 

What products are on your radar this week? I'd love to know! 

What I Wore, #19

I managed to wear makeup a few days this week, though I never managed to take pictures daily of the products or looks... That can be a goal for this coming week, right? 

My focus this week was testing out a few new to me products, namely the Tom Ford She Wolf Eyeshadow Trio, Chantecaille Sel, and Nars Radiant Cream Foundation which I reviewed here mid-week.  

Posts This Week:  August Beauty Favorites // This Week's Makeup Bag, #15 // Love It or Toss It, #2 // A Jouer Eyeshadow Pairing // On the Fence: Nars Radiant Cream Foundation // I ♥ Tatcha Pure One Step Cleansing Oil // The Accessory: Ariella Collection // New! Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation & Illuminator

Products I Loved: I randomly rediscovered my Benefit Eye Bright, and I just love how it brightens the droopy corners of my eyes. I definitely need to use this more often. I want to say I'm in love with Tom Ford She Wolf, but I really want to test it out more before I rave about it and make you all run out and buy a very pricy eyeshadow trio! :-P

Product Disappointments: I was quite sad to discover I didn't like the Laura Mercier Radiance Primer, and in the end I decided to return the Nars Radiant Cream Foundation. If it is not absolute love, why keep it, right??  

Beauty Purchases: I'm scared to admit... but the Space NK gift with purchase sucked me in. I ordered the Sai Sei Mineral Bath Crystals, By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon, and the Laura Mercier Cream Eyeshadow Detail Brush.  Thankfully, Gummy and I decided to split the GWP, so I didn't let myself go crazy with my wishlist. I also picked up a Nails Inc Gel Polish and Bite Lip Primer... Can't wait for the mail to arrive! 

Added to the Wishlist: I'm really liking the look of those Koh Gen Do Aqua Illuminators, in particular the beige one. I also want to swatch just about ALL of the Armani Rouge Ecstasy lipsticks...!  

So there's my week in beauty for you - what have you been up to? Any product loves or disappointments? Have you bought anything fun or added anything lust-worthy to your wishlist? 

What I Wore, #18

Last week, I revived my weekly makeup bag selection in hopes that I could manage more makeup this week. Sadly, I wasn't terribly successful! I managed concealer one day, some eyeliner a few days, and really that was it! Instead, I'll leave you with a few Instagram shots of my last few weeks. Do be sure to follow me there and say hello if you are an Instagram fan! 

Products I Loved: Nothing really sparked my interest this week, sadly, especially since I didn't use much. Last weekend I really loved my Armani lipstick in 103, and was happy to rediscover that!   

Product Disappointments:  I had purchased the Koh Gen Do Moisture Spa Gel from the Hautelook sale a few weeks ago, and I fear that I don't like it at all. It has a super neat light texture, but it just seems to feel sticky on my face. :( 

Beauty Purchases:  I just hit check out on Tom Ford She Wolf... Oops. (But I can't help it!) I also ordered a Murad spot treatment and grabbed a First Aid Beauty Aloe Gel from the sale section...

Added to the Wishlist: Tom Ford She Wolf was definitely on the list, but the other beauty item that is at the top of the list is Bite Cashmere Lip Cream in Sancerre. I'm curious to try some cuticle remover too, so Sally Hansen and Deborah Lippmann's offerings have made it onto my list. And I'm still hankering for some Aesop Parsley Seed stuff and the ByTerry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadow sticks. On the accessory front, I still desperately want the Alexander Wang Brenda Bag in Mink.

What's been on your radar this past week or two? Anything you're loving? I'd love to know! 

What I Wore, #17

This past week, I tried (and subsequently failed) to wear makeup everyday. I really relied on a few of my favorites, as you can see below. I even have a terrible pre-haircut car selfie for you too! 

I know I haven't really posted this weekly recap for a while, so read on for some of my latest product highlights! :)  

Products I Loved: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis - it is the most beautiful light fragrance everrrr. I've also been quite enamored with my Lancome Baume in Love, and I just dug out a little tube of Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint and find it to be quite nice so far! 

Product Disappointments: You may have seen my disappointing products post recently, but I was also not thrilled with the Korres Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing Primer. Sad, as I have quite loved the Sleeping Facial from the same line! 

Recently Purchased: After making a few returns at Sephora, I grabbed a few other goodies I had my eyes on. I'm pumped to add the Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Stick in Plum to my collection, and I finally landed on the pretty pink Dior Addict lipstick in Diorkiss. I also picked up the Hourglass Illume Creme-to-Powder Duo in Sunset, which seems to have better lasting power than Bronze Light, which was a bit disappointing last year!  

Added to the Wishlist: On the beauty front, there are a few brands from Space NK that I would love to get my hands on - Sai Sei, and Rodial. I'm also really wanting the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed powder, and one of those fancy By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadow sticks. On the designer bag front, I've crossed off the Givenchy Pandora in favor of this gorgeous minky gray Alexander Wang I spotted at Nordstrom. (The Brenda Camera, to be specific!) I also quite like the look of the 3.1 Philip Lim Mini Pashli, so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a neat color combination. 

So there you have it! What have you been loving or lusting after? Did you add any new goodies to your stash this week, or wear any pretty looks you're loving? Do share! :) 

P.S. A few sample empties and July favorites will be coming soon!
