Spring Makeup Look With Products From Target

Target is getting ready for spring with some featured products, and boy am I ready for it too!  I went to Target and grabbed a few of the products featured in the below video to do a new makeup look.


 Nothing screams Spring to me more than bright fun colors, and I  love the new L’Oreal Colour Riche Quads, so I purchased one in the Brazen Bolds range called “Blue Haute Couture.”  I like that particular one as a transition to Spring because it has bright fun colors, but you can also still use it to create darker dramatic looks.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Quad Blue Haute Couture

I applied the shades with a damp brush, focusing on the teal on my lid, pink/beige in the inner corner and on the brow bone, blue at the outside corner, and the deep green as a liner. Using a damp brush keeps fall out to a minimum and also keeps the colors bright.   Here is a closer look.

I also picked up a bright Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick in Vivid Rose. I don’t normally wear lipstick this bright, but I decided to give it a try and I ended up really, really liking it. If you like vivid shades, you will want to check out that entire line.

I also grabbed some CoverGirl Clump Crusher Lash Blast Mascara. I had been wanting to try this one after seeing so many good reviews. I ended up loving it. It indeed does not clump, and it gives really nice length and definition.

Here is my final overall look using the products. By total coincidence, I also recently got the shirt that I am wearing at Target!

Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons Swatches, Review, Video

Be sure to check out our Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons Holiday 2012 Giveaway!

The Too Faced Shadow Bons Bons Palette is a nice holiday set containing 12 pretty eyeshadow shades, a tube of Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer, and a Lashgasm Mascara. It is packaged nicely for holiday giving, or would be a nice kit for yourself.

Here is the outside of my Shadow Bon Bons case.

Here is a closer look at the shadows inside.

The shades are pretty. Pigmentation on them is fine. Not outstanding, but perfectly acceptable. The texture is good. I like this set better than the Too Faced Glamour to Go Spun Sugar set, which I will be reviewing new week. It is a great gift set for the holidays.

Below are swatches of the Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons Palette. The eyeshadow shades are:  Vanilla, Cut the Cake, Framboise, Coffee Bean, Peach Fuzz, Hot Cocoa, Candy Rose, Lovey Dovey, Nude Beach, Cinnamon Sugar, Marzipan, and Licorice Latte.

I want to give a quick shout out to the Too Faced customer service on this one. I bought my palette from their website and it arrived with a pan of shadow broken and spread around the inside of the kit. I contacted them and, after they had me send a photo of the broken kit, they promptly sent me a new one. I was able to clean the old one up enough to swatch and used the broken powder for that shade (it was Cinnamon Sugar that broke). So, I decided to use the new one as  reader giveaway since I have no shortage of eye shadow around here! See the link at the top of the page for the giveaway!

Makeup Wars: Favorite Mascara

The Makeup Wars group looks at favorite mascara this week. Mine was mentioned back in our Most Expensive Face Challenge, where I used  Le Metier de Beaute Mascara $34 (read my previous Le Metier Mascara review).

Le Metier de Beaute Mascara

I first received my Le Metier mascara from a representative of the company, and it happened to be in blue. At first I was not sure what I thought of that, but it turned out that I loved the blue mascara look. The mascara is simply amazing in that it glides on smooth, gives nice fullness and length and there is never a clump in sight.

Here is my photo from the previous challenge wearing it.

I also want to name a runner up. I used Clinique High Impact Mascara for the first time recently and really liked it, so I figured I would give it a shout out as well. It gave me a nicely defined and clump free look.

Below is a picture. The eyeshadow I am wearing comes from the awesome Disney Cinderella Eyeshadow Palette. (see my Cinderella Eye Palette Review and Video).
