Face of the Day: Rose Gold

Happy Tuesday!

I am obsessed with rose gold! It's my favorite finish of gold in the whole wide world, and it's SO flattering on all skintones. I am going to share with you my rose gold inspired makeup look:

Today I chose to go for a golden, neutral look. Simple enough for class, but enough to give a little something extra. Since the eyes were so neutral, I decided to add a pop of color on the lips. Below are the products that I used for this look:

Face: Tarte 12-hour BB primer in Tan, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Conceal in Y5, MAC Pressed Blot Powder in Deep Dark

Eyes: (not shown) NYX HD eyeshadow primer, (not shown) Ardell Brow Defining Powder in Mink Brown, MAC Expensive Pink eyeshadow, Urban Decay Naked palette (Buck), Urban Decay Naked 2 palette (Foxy), Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner (not shown), Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Perversion, Benefit They're Real! mascara 

Lips: eos lip balm in sweet mint, MAC Viva Glam I lipstick

For the eyeshadow, I used MAC Expensive Pink on my lids, Buck from the Naked Palette in the crease, and Foxy from the Naked 2 Palette as a highlight. I used Maybelline's gel eyeliner for the wing, and I used Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner for my waterline 

On my skintone, Expensive Pink translates as a pretty rose gold color. 

I have a full review of MAC Viva Glam I coming up soon along with my favorite fall lipsticks! Until then, beauties! 

Essie Gel Color - NEW!

Breaking News!

Finally! Essie debuted its line of 36 new gel polishes TODAY! I went to get my gel nails taken off earlier and I was so excited when the nail technician told me about the new colors and I knew I had to try it.  Essie has gel colors that are similar to their regular polishes, unlike OPI whose colors are exactly the same across their gel and regular polish collections. Personally, I have mixed feelings about that. It's good that their gel polishes differentiate from the normal polishes because there is an even larger color spectrum from the brand. But I don't wear gel nail polishes that often (it's extremely rare that I have the same nail color for 3 days in a row, yet alone 2 weeks), so I would love to have the regular nail polish in this color because I'm CRAZY about it! The color that I am wearing is called Well Collected, and it is a dusty, neutral pink that reminds me so much of Dulce de Leche by OPI, but (maybe) a touch lighter. This is a perfect shade for you if you want to change up your nail polish for fall, but do not want to go too dark. Below are some pictures of the polish:

For some reason the color is coming across lighter in pictures. In person, the color is much more dusty. The last picture is the most accurate depiction of the color, but it is still dustier in person. 

Essie also claims that their line of gel polishes will not be as damaging to your nails because it is infused with keratin, and vitamins E and B5. I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty good to me! Have a good Tuesday beautiful people!
