The beginning of the new year is always an optimistic time for me where everything just seems brighter, and I always feel renewed as a result! When Nordstrom reached out to work with me to create a look, those feelings inspired me to use different textures...
This was a recent look I used to test out the wear of several products--the newer MAC eyeshadow quad (because it had a very stubborn shade in it), MAC's Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner (because it was worth re-testing), and Becca Damselfly (had not tested the wear before)....
I was just playing around, and I wasn't sure if I was going to post this, but some reader encouragement helped :) After seeing several readers mention Vex on yesterday's post about Bare Escentual's Urban Nature, I figured I'd try it. And then I just couldn't help...

Still loving Chanel Dragon. Still my favorite red! Also still loving Guerlain Parure Gold (which is totally my "special occasion" foundation). It's always nice when you go back to your favorites and you find they're just as amazing as you remembered!
Psst......
Sometimes it can be fun just to experiment with your makeup, and you know when is a really good time to do it? Before you're going to go to bed! After I finished photographing Urban Decay's Naked Palette, I really wanted to do something using Gunmetal, but I wanted it to be...
