current blush rotation: brights

For me this summer has been all about obnoxiously bright blushes. If you have been a reader of mine for a while, you know I am a huge fan of outrageously pigmented blushes. Yes, they do require some extra time and tenderness when it comes to application, but to me the extra effort is 100% worth it for the effect and longevity. I have been completely uninterested in subtle blush hues and instead very much obsessed with my bright choices. My current blush rotation:

NARS DESIRE

Surprise, surprise NARS Desire makes the rotation cut. I've professed my love for this blush for ages on my blog so I'll try to keep it short and sweet; a shocking, bright pink that always manages to flatter my warm skin tone no matter the season. Can turn a bit ruddy on some skin tones so it isn't for everyone but I always recommend people to try it on. A staple shade for me.

CARGO LAGUNA

Laguna is an extremely underrated blush that NO ONE ever talks about. This is unfortunate as I love this shade. I would say it makes my top ten favorite blushes (a list/post I am scared to do because it will make me confront my blush problem). It looks like a cheeto orange shade in the pan but on the cheeks it sheers out to the most lovely peach shade. This is coming from a gal who has a hard time working peach blushes.

NARS EXHIBIT A

Lovers of Exhibit A would describe it as cherry tomato red while the more mean spirited might go as far to call this "clown cheeks red". This shade is another favorite of mine. I think this is the scariest blush to look at in the pan which is quite contrary to how it looks on the face. Really great for minimal makeup looks as a light dusting on the cheek bones gives the most natural flush possible.

Exhibit A in action. NARS Dolce Vita on the lips.

MILANI BELLA ROSA

If I'm being honest I would have to say that lately Bella Rosa has been my most reached for blush out of all my bright choices. I find myself saying, "Kelly, you really should show some love to your other blushes today" and then next thing I know, I'm reaching for this little pot five days in a row. Such a drugstore gem that shouldn't be overlooked. There are more pictures of this HERE when I gave it its own post.

SWATCHES

NARS Exhibit A, CARGO Laguna, Milani Bella Rosa, NARS Desire

All shades are matte, which is something I prefer with such strong colors. I use a NARS Yachiyo for application. I have mixed feelings about this brush. It applies pigmented blushes so wonderfully since the tapered shape and flexible handle helps with precise control BUT it sheds on my face like crazy. It is also expensive. If I could turn back time I wouldn't have purchased this due to the shedding. When it reaches the end of its life I plan to invest in the Hakuhodo version.

current blush rotation

*This post contains one item provided by an outside company for trial.

As a self proclaimed blush fiend, it is rare for me to stick to one blush a day and call it good. I tend to crave a different shade, finish, and brand depending on on my outfit that day, how much time I have, or even what type of mood I am in. Despite this, I recently realized I have been rotating through the same set of blushes for over a month. Since a blush routine is very rare for me, I figured it deserved a dedicated blog post. My current "blush mood", as we can call it, has been all about easy, natural colors.

Cailyn Peach Pink

First up is *Cailyn Deluxe Mineral Pressed Peach Pink Blush. I recieved this as part of the Wantable subscription box that was sent to me (first mentioned in THIS post). To be honest I had zero expectations when I first laid eyes on this product. It looked like your typical, nondescriptive blush shade that you can find in every makeup line. But then I went ahead and applied it to my cheeks and I had to reprimand myself for being so quick to judge. This blush is really fantastic. I'm talking, I made my sister try it on to make sure it looked just as flattering fantastic (it did). It has just the right amount of pigment so the blush pros won't scoff at it and the blush novices won't give themselves clown cheeks.

This color is self described as a "Peach Pink" but on me it leans more peach. I have quite a hard time making peach blushes work for me which is why I think I was wary to begin with when I saw the color in the pan. Peaches usually end up too dirty on me (MAC Melba) or too orange (MAC Peaches). This shade instilled some peach blush hope for me, I thought they would never flatter my skin tone.

The only gripe I have about this product is that is it heavily scented, a bit like grandma. Luckily it doesn't stick around but it is still a bit bothersome.

CARGO Tonga

Hopefully I don't have to talk much more about CARGO Tonga as I just blogged about it and it has its very own review post. To summarize, one of my favorite blushes to date. Although it looks very boring in the pan it goes with any look, buffs into the skin wonderfully, and the color is very uplifting. Highly recommend it.

Bobbi Brown Velvet Plum

You get a shoddy iPhone 4 picture to showcase this one! If you have been following me for a while you know my love for Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouges. They come in a nice variety of colors, the texture isnt greasy or too tacky, and the lasting power is great. I have been reaching for Bobbi Brown Velvelt Plum (in the old packaging) when I feel like using cream blush and to give a nice rosy grape cheek. No such thing as a rosy grape, but just go with it. Unfortunately this color is discontinued (!?!?)

SWATCHES

Not your typical fall shades but I can't seem to get out of this rotation. Really into the natural cheek at the moment. What is in your blush rotation currently?

009 items I'm lusting over

Time for another episode of items I'm lusting over. What products are currently taking up space in my brain at the moment? Half skincare, half makeup. Surprising to me since my wishlist items used to be all/mostly makeup...

CLINIQUE HIGH IMPACT EXTREME VOLUME MASCARA
This is one of those items that I feel like I have read about from quite a few blogs that I follow but I can't for the life of me remember who the bloggers are. Recently Sandra did a review but I know I read about it elsewhere. Has anyone else tried this mascara? I am quite curious about Clinique's makeup. I have never tried anything besides a chubby lip stick.

CLARINS INSTANT EYE MAKEUP REMOVER
Currently I do not need an eye makeup remover as I have more than half of my bottle of Bioderma left but I am very interested in trying out Clarin's version. I am pretty skeptical when it come to higher end removers. I blame this on Lancome's Bi Facil, which I find mediocre. Still, I can't help but want to see what the hubbub about this is.

L'OREAL TRUE MATCH SUPER BLENDABLE CRAYON CONCEALER
I have heard this is very creamy with great coverage and decent lasting power. I plan to pick this up eventually, I just can't justify adding another concealer to my stash since I already have plenty to choose from.

ORIGINS DRINK UP 10 MINUTE MASK
I'm on the hunt to find a moisturizing mask to fill in the third step of the triple threat facial so that I can try out another round. This Origins mask seems to be a universal favorite in the beauty blogging world. I am a bit afraid to try it out because of my oily skin type; I don't want to feel too greasy. But I figure that since it is a 10 minute treatment it shouldn't be too intensive. If you have oily skin and have used this, I'd love to hear your input.

LAURA MERCIER SPELLBOUND HIGHLIGHTER
Ugh this item has been the bane of my existence (very dramatic, I know). There are probably about 10 reviews out there that I scolded to myself to avoid reading but I clicked on them anyway because apparently I'm a glutton for punishment. I seriously DO NOT need another highlighter but this keeps popping up in my newsfeed and blogroll making it very hard to resist. It being a limited edition item does not make matters easier since I have a known weakness for LE items. I might check to see if this is at my local Macy's. If it isn't available there I will take that as a sign I wasn't meant to own it.

CLINQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSING BALM
Cleansing balms are something that I am curious about but am only mildly interested in. I think it is because I love oil cleansers so much and the balm texture seems like more work. I have never used one but was intrigued by the Emma Hardie and REN versions. Their high price tag and my lukewarm interest in them always deterred me from actually going through and trying it out. This Clinque version seems basic and the price isn't too harsh so this could be a great introduction to the cleansing balm world for me.

What are you lusting after lately? What do we think of balm cleansers? If you have tried any out I'd love to hear you sound off in the comments on what you have used and what you think of them overall.

coral craze

What is it about the color coral that makes it so appealing? Is it because it has the ability to lean fiery orange or punchy pink? That it can brighten the face and add a certain youthfulness? I'm not quite sure. I haven't pondered too long about it, I get too distracted by its beauty. What coral items can I dig out of my drawers?

I already went over MAC Vegas Volt, NARS Turks & Caicos, and Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouges in Cabo Coral and Calypso Coral in THIS post. Summery favorites. I finally have switched up my blush routine and set aside those pot rouges. More on what replaced them later!

NARS Gilda is a blush shade I don't reach for often. I don't know why! I think it is because it easily gets lost in the sea of NARS blushes I have tucked away. Regardless, it is a more muted coral shade. If you love coral blushes but don't want anything too bright, this would be a good pick.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have Rock & Republic All Nighter blush which is far more in your face and intense. It definitely can be worn sheerer which is my preferred method. It seems very orange in the pan but on my skin it ends up looking pinker than what would be expected. MAC Hipness blush comes somewhat inbetween; not quite intense yet not quite soft. It definitely is a pinker coral.

When it comes to gloss, coral is definitely my favorite shade to wear. It looks natural yet still injects a little subtle color. My favorite would have to be Estee Lauder Impulsive Coral because the shade is very effortless. Revlon Coral Reef is also a beauty but can require a little more work. I usually pair this with a nude lipstick to tone down the intensity.

And now the star of the show (see what I did there?) that inspired this post to begin with. I have been obsessed with this little gem that is the Estee Lauder Sea Star Bronzing Blush. Part bronzer, part blush, very much convenient and very frustratingly limited edition from a few years ago. I can't stop wearing this, the color is wonderfully flattering with its subtle sheen and sculpting bronzy coral shade. It isn't too glowy that it makes my oily skin type look too shiny and the texture is finely milled and easy to buff into the skin. It has the perfect balance. If you ever spot this at a CCO or blog sale, I highly recommend you snatch it up. I will do a FOTD post soon wearing this so you can see it in action.

SWATCHES

Ahh coral. How I love you so. So much I just can't seem to stop collecting every texture, brand, and shade I come across. Self control be damned.

spring lip lusting

Ahhh can you feel it readers? Spring weather is approaching and I for one could not be happier about it. I am ready for spring flowers to push their little heads out of the dirt, clear blue skies, fun floral dresses, and my latest fixation: colorful lips. My last obsession was facial masks and now that has been pushed aside (well, more gently nudged aside since I am still indulging in more masks than necessary) for fun lip colors. Think poppy, tangerine, and coral.

Dior Delice gloss has caught my eye, especially seeing it on both Taylor and Teri. It looks like an effortless soft coral that strongly reminds me of my Estee Lauder Impulsive Coral gloss that I adore and am about to run out of. Perfect replacement, no? Staying in the same color family, MAC See Sheer is a color I have been curious about lately since I feel it probably is an underrated color in MAC's lineup. I have never swatched this in person so I will have to wander over to MAC and get to swiping.

As for tangerine shades, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in Rendezvous has me wanting to visit the closest drugstore ASAP. I always ignored this range as the colors that I had previewed before looked lackluster. But I think the shade that screams spring to me the loudest is poppy. The orangey red shades contrast so spectacularly against green grass, yellow sunshine, cream blouses, dark hair, etcetera, etcetera. Yes this is the second time I have had Tom Ford Wild Ginger on my wishlist. No the pangs of longing won't go away. Finally, stepping out of the bright and bold hues, NARS Stain Lip Pencil in Rikugien is a delicate tawny rose shade that look so good on Liz at Cafe Makeup that it made it immediately on my wishlist. I picked up Burberry Copper based off pictures of Liz wearing it and I haven't doubted her recommendations since.

What lip colors have you been lusting after? I was going to mentioned Revlon Strawberry Suede as well, but it looks like that has been discontinued D:

current obsession: masks

Lately all I really want to put my money towards is skincare masks. Initially I couldn't be bothered with masks. I was too lazy, it was messy to clean off, and it seemed time consuming to slather on and wait around for it to do its work. My newfound love of masks stems from using (and finishing!) Lush's Mask of Magnaminty. It opened up Pandora's Box since I enjoyed its soothing and skin boosting results so much that I didn't mind finding ways to creep mask application into my routine. I compiled a little wish list that I have had in the back of my mind to share with you all. I like variety so I picked concoctions with different promises.

*NB: If you are a lazy girl like me or just don't want to be bothered with the mess a mask can make, I find applying before hopping into the shower is the easiest and cleanest method. No bird bath puddles of water around the sink or missed splotches of clay on the neck and hairline to be found, all of the residue goes straight down the drain. You can trudge on with your shower routine and rinse off at the end.

REN GLYCOL LACTIC RADIANCE RENEWAL MASK
My main fascination with skincare is chemical exfoliants. This item has been talked about so much that I am very intrigued. I like that there is a mixture of lactic and glycolic acid.

LUSH COSMETIC WARRIOR MASK
I was always a skeptic of Lush, perhaps because everything seemed so gimmicky and too good to be true. I am still not convinced when it comes to their bath products, but I am already convinced they know what they are doing when it comes to skincare. I have already tried two things from their skincare line and have been impressed with both. It is probably a good thing I don't live near a Lush since I would probably try out every fresh mask they have. The mask I am interested the most in at the moment is the Cosmetic Warrior mask which is supposed to battle blackheads and blemishes.

AESOP PARSLEY SEED MASK
This is another mask I have heard a lot about. It is supposed to lift out impurities and balance out the skin.

ORIGINS CLEAR IMPROVEMENT CHARCOAL MASK
I always wander by the Origins counter but never give myself enough time to actually try out or look at a product since their product lineup is so extensive. This mask has caught my eye though since it is supposed to unclog pores. Plus I have always wanted to try a charcoal mask.

OLE HENRIKSEN BLUE/BLACK BERRY ENZYME MASK
I am a sucker for anything with the word enzyme in it. It just sounds like it is going to do a good job, you know? This mask is supposed to smooth out and polish the skin. And supposedly it smells great too, always a plus!

What are your favorite masks or what are you using and enjoying right now? I would love any recommendations since I am new to the mask world...

shades of pink: why I don't indulge in spring collections

So I think everyone who has followed me by now has gathered that I have a blush problem. Out of all cosmetics, blush is definitely the most dominate section in my collection and my greatest weakness. Seriously, it takes up half my makeup drawer (perhaps I will do a post on my organization, would you all like that?)

With that being said, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I have just about every shade of pink blush you can imagine. For this reason, every spring I don't indulge in purchasing the always-some-sort-of-pink blush in spring collections. I certainly pay attention to what comes out, oo and ahh at the pretty shades, but then the practical part of me gently reminds the stubborn/illogical part of me that I already have something similar in my drawer (that practical side is a buzz kill, let me tell you). Here are just a handful of shades in my collection that have stopped me from spending carelessly:

THE BRIGHT PINKS
(L to R) CARGO CATALINA, NARS ANGELIKA, NARS DESIRE

This type of pink pops up in spring collections most likely because it is very eye catching. They are bright, pigmented, and make the promo model's complexion look fresh and healthy. Out of my three shades, NARS Angelika has the unique quality of having chunky silver glitter (not a good unique quality, in my opinion) but the actual pink color is very similar to what is seen in spring collections. NARS Desire has made me turn down purchasing many shades but I am not too heartbroken over this since it gets a lot of love from me. CARGO Catalina is a rather new addition to my collection, but nonetheless, girly bubblegum pink is easy to wear and popular. Some pinks I have resisted in buying in this category would be Dior Rosy Glow and Bobbi Brown Apricot.

THE STAINS/CREAMS
(L to R)NARS CADAQUES, BOBBI BROWN PINK RASPBERRY, MAC POSEY

One of my favorite things about blush is that it comes in so many different textures like creams and stains. I tend to avoid stains due to my scarred skin type. Because of its sheer and thin texture, the only stain-like product for cheeks that I own are the Nars Multiple Tints. The shade shown here is Cadaques. It looks very pigmented in the tube but swiped on the skin it is sheer and breathable. This multiple tint has deferred me from buying products like Benefit's Posie Tint, which seems too permeable for me.

As for cream blush, Bobbi Brown's Pink Raspberry Pot Rouge and MAC's Posey (old formulation) both keep me in check from buying petal pinks. I have turned down Illamasqua Dixie because of the similarity.

THE BOLD PINKS
(L to R) ROCK & REPUBLIC X-RATED, CARGO KEY LARGO

The bolder pinks tend to show up in spring collections to tie in a floral theme. Rock & Republic's X-rated is a scarce item to find and isn't available anymore. Perhaps MAC Azalea or Rhubarb are similar. Too bad it is so rare as the shade is gorgeous and the longevity is unbelievable. The only gripe I have about Rock & Republic blushes is their texture; it is not the easiest to blend. CARGO Key Largo is a nice watermelon shade that imparts a very romantic look. This category of pink is the most recent area that I have had to keep myself in check since the just released Burberry Hydrangea Pink caught my eye. I have a sneaking suspicion that is it very similar to Key Largo.

Shades of pink come in so many tones, I didn't even get into the mauve pinks and the baby pinks or even the berry pinks. Recalling what I own already has saved me from unneeded purchases but a blush fiend like me can't help but give lingering looks to shiny, new collections. For those who picked up Burberry's new addition, consider me jealous :)

nude blush ramble

for the past few months i have been on a nude blush kick. i admit this is strange for me since during this time of the year i usually reach for brighter colors such as nars desire or cargo laguna. i must warn you all that not only do all of these blushes look extremely boring in the pan, but they look pretty similar on the face. really, if you arent a blush fanatic like myself then there really is no need to own more than one, MAYBE two, of these shades. BUT...there is just something about the nude/blah color that adds such a nice lift to the face while still being very natural so im not too ashamed of myself for having a handful of nude shades in my stash.

NARS MADLY

i believe i have talked about madly before. it is a very flattering shade, described as a soft seashell pink. i see it as a beige tinged with baby pink. very flattering on. pictures do not do this shade justice.

SIDE VIEW of MADLY

CHANEL TEMPTING BEIGE

i love this shade. this definitely is more of a peach nude. this is very similar to mac's warm soul but with better texture. it also does not have the mineralized golden sheen that mac's warm soul has but the base colors are very similar. tempting beige isnt completely matte but it isnt full of shimmers either.

SIDE VIEW of TEMPTING BEIGE

ROCK & REPUBLIC FOREPLAY

unfortunately this product is extremely hard to find or get so if you were one of the lucky ones that snagged this when it was available consider yourself lucky. this is a wonderful shade. my sister loves this shade so much she frequently steals it from me. it looks very peach in the pan and in swatches but on the face it changes into a nude with a touch of coral? im not sure how the product does it but every time i use this it surprises me how different it looks on the face than in the pan. im not sure what can even be considered a dupe for this shade...

SIDE VIEW of FOREPLAY

MAC TENDERLING

this shade surprised me. i always heard great things about tenderling and i watched tutorials of it being used. when i went to see it in person at mac i couldnt help but think, that's it?! it appears to be a very dull chalky pink in the pan, especially under mac's counter lighting. i took a chance and bought it later online anyway and i am glad i did. tenderling adds such a nice healthiness to my face and it photographs very well.

SIDE VIEW of TENDERLING

as for mac's warm soul, i wrote a separate post raving about it as it is one of my favorite blushes in my collection. my opinion has not changed with it. it is a wonderful peachy nude shade that has a flattering golden sheen. you can see my post HERE.

SWATCHES

from left to right: nars madly, chanel tempting beige, mac warm soul, rock&republic foreplay, mac tenderling

i would recommend all these shades, it just depends on what type of nude you are looking for. if you find peachier shades flatter you most, go for mac's warm soul or chanel's tempting beige. if you want pinker nudes, mac's tenderling and nars madly are your best bet. if you want something that is matte, mac's tenderling and chanel's tempting beige would be best as both madly and warm soul have considerably more shimmers to them. i would recommend foreplay if you can get your hands on it as i think it is a pretty unique and gorgeous product.

what nude blushes do you have or have your eye on? i have my eye on nars douceur and tarte exposed...

late night jewelry lusting...

time for a little late night jewelry lusting. for the past week i have been thoroughly enjoying my recent knot ring i purchased on etsy:

this has sparked a bit of a frenzy in me since for the past few days i have been obsessively looking at jewelry pieces to add alongside my dainty ring.

MY PICKS

the main themes of what i have been eying have been CHEVRON, HAND PIECES, ENGRAVED, and CROSSES

CHEVRON
i love me some chevron. such a simple design but the playful V shapes make me so happy. the stacking bracelets shown are by a brand called TOMTOM that i recently stumble upon. i am more interested in this ring, but these bracelets are fun as well.

HAND PIECES
slave bracelets, hand pieces, ring-bracelets, whatever you want to call it i love it all. i hate falling in love with a design that is older and now sold out like this LOW LUV by ERIN WASSON metal hand piece pictured. i have been scouring the web for a worthy design to get and this is my ideal fit but alas it isnt available anymore from what i've researched. the designer behind the brand is erin wasson, a model you probably would recognize due to maybelline ads. how much creativity she actually puts into the pieces i am unsure of, but i am sure that i love almost everything in the line.

ENGRAVED
engraved jewelry really tugs at my heartstrings. this double engraved ring by house of harlow especially. i love how it is a connected ring, the chunkiness of the metal and the engraved aztec details. as most of you know, house of harlow is nicole richie's jewelry line. i am a massive fan of her pieces. some of the jewelry is a bit too over-sized for me (search sunburst ring) but overall i cant seem to stay away from the brand.

CROSSES
i have long been obsessed with crosses. something so simple yet beautiful. i am very picky about cross jewelry though. so picky that i dont own any cross pieces because i am very particular. these asos stacking rings are nice to look at but i am afraid of the quality being horrible since the price is so cheap ($14). i recently made a cross ring purchase, but alas i shan't tell until it arrives :)

so far in all my internet surfing, my favorite brands have been house of harlow, LUV AJ, LOW LUV by ERIN WASSON, and TOMTOM. all beautiful but all will cost you a shiny penny. i didnt show any LUV AJ jewelry but it might be my favorite line of all i mentioned. the designer is AJ Thomas, who is only 23! blows my mind that someone around my age is full of such insane, brilliant creativity. my favorites from her are her studded hand piece, crystal rings, and any of the body chains. if only...sigh.

luv aj crystal rings (source)

i wonder what nail polish this is...

what is your jewelry style/lustings? now i shall go to sleep dreaming of chains, engraving designs, and chevron patterns...

btw, if you were wondering, THIS is the seller i bought my knot ring from. i ordered a size 3 to fit it above my knuckle (my normal ring size ranges from 6-7) and it is a perfect fit. i would recommend both the seller and the ring but keep in mind that the overall shipping/processing took about 3 weeks since she makes all her jewelry pieces.

007 items im lusting after

what am i lusting after lately? funny you ask...

nars dolce vita blush

described as a dusty matte rose...sign me up. seems like such an effortlessly pretty shade.

tarte exposed blush

i dont really NEED this since im guessing it is similar to nars madly (anyone know if they are comparable?) but i love boring pigmented shades like these.

dior exquis polish

equis is the taupe shade to the left. look up swatches on google and prepare to drool.

sephora pro brush #55

i have a love hate relationship with my current foundation brush of choice (elf studio powder brush...applies foundation beautifully but sheds like CRAZY) so i am hoping to get this soon as a replacement. i have heard nothing but good things about this brush.

D&G light blue

been wanting this for the LONGEST time. i spray it on myself every time i see it. a classic scent.

what have you been lusting after?

006 items im lusting after

since my lap top is currently being repaired, i am not able to upload any pictures from my sister's desktop AND i cant access pictures i already had on my laptop for posts. my fingers have been itchin for blogging these past few days so i thought it was time for another IILA episode! hmm i think the more i do these the more expensive the things i lust after are...

HOUSE OF HARLOW BLACK LEATHER CHEVRON NECKLACE(img source)

i love this necklace. i love the shape & black and gold contrast. i have heard from Alex that the quality isnt the best :( but i still want this though, i just love the design of it too much.

CHANEL 5018 SUNGLASSES

i think these are the neatest sunglasses ever. too bad they were made in limited quantities and are impossible to get now. there are a lot of fakes out there, which i dont support, so it looks like i can only dream about these babies.

CHINESE LAUNDRY GET AWAY WEDGES(img source)

i am normally not a fan of wedges but i think these are SO perfect. they look better on so take yourself on over to sincerely jules to see them on her (and to check out her blog, i love her style/hair)

ISABEL MARANT DICKER BOOTS(img source)

love these. i am really into short booties lately and i think these are so perfect. i love the style, the length, and the color. google pictures of kate bosworth wearing these. usually i dont care too much for her style, but i am loving these boots on her.

FRYE VERONICA SLOUCH BOOTS(img source)

i have talked about this before, but i am still in love. i want this in the distressed black AND the brown. i repeat...still in love.

that is all for this edition. since fall is coming up i have been really more into clothes/fashion rather than makeup. no worries though, i am still a lover of makeup at heart. maybe i will get inspired by makeup when more fall collections come out.
