Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral to cool undertones. Grey hair and dark brown eyes.

Most used lip product this month? Without a doubt it is Lisa Eldridge Velvet Bloom. It is like my perfect color. I have worn Charlotte Tilbury Bond Girl quite a lot also. I am trying to transition to fall but not quite committed yet, LOL!!

Go-to cheek products this month? I have worn mostly Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Divine Blush in the shade Cherish. I have also worn the red shade from the Florasis Phoenix Eye Shadow Palette in the Retro Brown version. I like the red shade as a blush more than as an eye shadow as I don’t wear much true red around my eyes. I also use the lightest shade as a highlight sometimes.

Favorite eye palette this month? It would be the aforementioned Phoenix Palette from Florasis. I have also used the Flower Knows Contour Palette on my eyes for those no makeup, makeup days. The palette is actually called the Chocolate Wonder Shop Highlighter and Contour Palette. Flower Knows just released a whole new collection called the Swan Ballet Collection and they released it to those with an established account so I picked up several things from that but they are preorder so won’t arrive for awhile. I will share them in my haul post and again when they arrive. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for pretty packaging and anything embossed. It is just my aesthetic, I guess. I either like very clean, heavily weighted packaging or anything with nice artwork.

Deborah S. Avatar

Haha, yes I can see the Too Faced vibe! Of course the packaging is mostly heavy plastic, I believe, but it carries quite a bit of weight so maybe metal with some plastic attachments?!! The shadows themselves are nice. I have used all of the ones in the Phoenix palette and really like their pigmentation level. They blend easily and although some of the Flower Knows palettes have glitter, it is actually pretty easy to just dust it off or use a glitter glue. I like their cool tones as they really are cool toned. I don’t see a lot of Asian makeup in cool tones as they seem to prefer warm tones and warm tones generally look good on their complexion but when they make a cool toned shadow, it actually is cool toned!!

Deborah S. Avatar

I hadn’t seen the SG palette as I wasn’t doing makeup at the time. What a beautiful palette. I purchased a few singles before taking my three year break and loved the shadows. I will have to revisit the site. I imagine the two palettes made for some beautiful eye looks.

Most used lip product this month? MAC Craving (as always) and Dallas
Go-to cheek products this month? MAC Pinch o’ Peach blush
Favorite eye palette this month? Too Faced Smoky (an oldie but a goodie – I love the shade Cloves in that little palette and I’ve been using it a lot because it’s so quick and easy). The OG Naked palette would be a second choice because I want to see if I can manage for 2 whole weeks with just that palette.

Favorite eye palette this month? I don’t think I’ve used any palette more than twice last month. I’ve also used a lot of singles. I have liked all the eyeshadows I’ve used, old and newer.
