Look of the Day (LOTD)

Enough monkey business...let's get to some serious blogging. I thought I would share my makeup look that I wore for today. My makeup held up well for the entire day despite being rained on during my lunch hour walk.  The rain let up just as I headed back inside...of course!


This is my take on classy office chic with some shimma! I like me some shimmer! This look features both drugstore and higher end products.
Products used:
Eyes:
Base: Esscence Cream shadow in 'Glammy Goes to...". Love this cream shadow. Long wearing and quite comparable to Maybelline Colour Tattoos, Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows...and Makeup Forever Aquacreams.
Shadows: L'oreal Infallibles in 'Hourglass Beige', 'Sahara Treaure' and 'Burning Black'. Can't say enough good things about these shadows. They are a lovely hybrid of powder meets cream shadow. Super easy to blend, long wearing, wonderful sheen and they reflect the light like none other!
Liner: Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in 'Midnight Master'. Very long wearing liner that is very easy and smooth to apply. This liner smudges well and I quite enjoy it. I do notice that the product migrates below my eyes by the end of the night though...so not one of my holy grail liners.
Mascara: Maybelline Mega Plush. See my full review on this in a previous post. Love it!
Face: The Balm Liquid Concealer. Love this concealer. Covers well and actually feels as though it is healing blemishes. It has tea tree oil in it which is very soothing and smells quite nice.
Maybelline Mineral Power Face Powder. I have had this power for eternity and I still love it. It provides a decent amount of coverage, but never looks cakey or dry on the skin. I do not wear foundation and find that this is all I need when my face is blotchy or sunburnt.
Cheeks: NARS blush in 'Desire'. Love this bright pink blush. Very pigmented.
Lips: NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Golden Pink. Very nice medium pink.

I was quite pleased with this look and it took no time at all. I love how shimmery it is, but it is still appropriate for my office job.

Hope you enjoyed the look!

Cheers!
