Purse Peek 020914

Last Sunday I went to one of the neighborhood salons for a manicure, and since it was so near, I only brought a clutch with me. (It's a dainty, gold New Look clutch that my friend Emz gave me from Singapore. It's the perfect sunny Sunday purse. Thanks Emzy!) It's a rare event when I'm not toting my entire house around with me, so I snapped a pic of my bag when I got home for a Purse Peek.

What's in my gold New Look clutch?

Mango wallet, Gin - my iPhone 5s, blue Untangler, Dior Addict Lipstick in Beige Casual (my favorite nude lipstick for casual days), NYX Matte Nail Polish in Rose (because I was getting my nails done), and a handkerchief.

Makeup Madness: A Neutral Experiment Products

Hi! I haven't updated in a while, but that's because I'm working with somebody on the design for this site, among other things. I remembered just now though, that I never talked about the products I used in A Neutral Experiment. I promised I would ramble on in detail about the products, and I will, just not today. For now, here's a quick rundown of the main stuff I used in that look for those who want to know.

Dior Addict lipstick in Beige Casual
This is my favorite my-lips-but-better lipstick.

Origins Liquid Lip Color Duo in Pink Sands and Sangria Shimmer
I used the Pink Sands tip only for the look. This gloss provided a bit of shine to the natural, neutral color from the Dior lipstick.
 


Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Palette in Walking on Eggshells
This is one of my favorite everyday palettes!It just gives a natural, no-makeup look.

Makeup Madness: A Neutral Experiment

When it comes to lipstick, I'm more of a bold and bright kind of girl. I usually go for orange, hot pink, chili red, and other loud shades. Lately though, I've been kind of loving neutral makeup. Maybe it's the sudden influx of neutral eye shadow palettes in my makeup kit, I have no idea, but I'm liking pale makeup looks that, true to my style, appear modern and not girly or romantic. 

Recently, I came up with a neutral look that really surprised me. Here go the deets! Face: MAC Studio Fix Foundation in NC35, NYX Stick Blush in Hibiscus. Eyes: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze, Wet 'n Wild Eye Shadow Palette in Walking on Eggshells, Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Brow & Eye Liner in Mink Brown. Lips: Dior Addict Lipstick in Beige Casual, Origins Liquid Lip Color in Pink Sands.

It was a pretty simple combination of products. It was really light, I didn't use concealer, and it didn't look too polished or perfect either, which is just the way I like it. I'll go on a rambling spree about the products next time.
