Melancholy Pink 

 

Looxi Beauty Highlighter: La Belle

In different lighting, the exquisites give off a slightly different color.

Lashes looking particularly spidey today. Only used Miss Manga, didn't have time to layer any other mascara on top to fan it out or add volume. I don't mind this as long as my lashes show up against my look when people are looking at me from a normal distance.

Notes:
Foundation mixture started breaking up on face, I think due to the Temptu highlighter not being shaken up enough when I mixed it in. That's why I had to set with a slightly higher coverage powder to mask the lower-performing foundation job today. Oil control was at 6 out of 10. 

After having used the Rose Hip Oil treatment for a few days, I think I prefer the Peach one. The formula is not created equally across the board. After this rose one, I have a grapeseed and lemon/honey one to try. So far, peach wins over the rose.  

First time using theBalm Down Boy (even though I've had it for a while and it's just been sitting there [side glance at myself], I have to say I quite like it. Easy to use and very universally flattering pink color. Exactly like what everybody has been saying about it. The formula is very smooth and does not kick up powder during use. 

I love the formula of the Milani Color Statement Lip Liners. They are very creamy and long-lasting. I am almost finished with the 03 Nude pencil that is currently in use. Already have a backup on hand. :) 

Still formulating my thoughts on the Morphe Brushes Premium Shadows. I've used 2 out of the 4 I have so far. I am beginning to think that they are the kind of shadows that swatch better than they look on your eyes. I've just been using them on top of my NYX eyeshadow primer.
