What I Wore This Week #1 (2/10-2/14)

Happy friday/weekend! ~yasss!~

I'm excited to share with you my first "What I Wore This Week" post. Where I share with you what makeup I wore during the week :). Since this is my first, I welcome any and all constructive criticism on how to improve these posts. My goal with posting my weekly makeup stash is to vary my makeup products so I don't get stuck in a rut or just use one thing for weeks.

First group of products I'm going to share with you are LIPS: 

 I've been using two regularly over the past week, left: YSL Rouge Volupte in #9 Caress Pink (muted raspberry pink) and original Dior Lip Glow. They are the kind of lip products that require no mirror to apply and since I'm SUPER forgetful when it comes to reapplying my lip products so these two have been my go to (and not just for this past week). I love these two! :)

Next: EYES

I have my stand by's when it comes to eyeliners and liquid liners. I rarely steer away from what I use unless I run out of it and buy something else.

 Top to Bottom: Maybelline Full n Soft Waterproof mascara, Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, Kat Von D Autograph pencil in Puro Amor, Urban Decay 24/7 Slide On eyeliner in Crave, and Maybelline Define a Brow in Medium Brown.

 Eyeshadow: Tom Ford Orchid Haze *drools*. It's a stunning palette to work with. I think it can be a great every day palette for a variety of people :).

Finally: FACE

For foundation, I have been using and loving the sample of Tom Ford Traceless Foundation in #7 Tawny. It's the most perfect match I have found in my time of trying out foundation from drugstore to high end. But just my luck, my perfect match is the most expensive one I've ever tried haha :(. I'll definitely keep trying to snag samples though if I can :p.

Blush: Tom Ford Ravish. ALL TIME favorite blush that I own. I've been using it like 90% of the time since I purchased it. It's gorgeous!!

Concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard ~Review of this concealer on my blog!~

Setting Powder: Guerlain Meteorites (old formulation) in Teinte Dore #3. I'm in loooove with this setting powder. It really makes my skin look glowing but not sparkly or icky. It's subtle but noticeable. It livens up my complexion and without it...my foundations and concealers don't look the same by the end of the day. I have yet to try the new formulation so I can't give my thoughts on that...yet... ;).

What did you wear this week? Let me know in the comments :)

Hope you all are doing well. Talk to you all soon,

Guerlain Gloss d'Enfer Maxi Shine lipgloss - 465 Bubble Gum - Review and Swatch

Well hello hello :)

I went to the Guerlain counter at my local Nordstrom and I had an amazing time talking to the sales associate about Guerlain and trying a few things out from them. This was the first time even touching the products. I have heard so much about them and walked by the counter that I did not give them a chance. And now I must admit, now I'm obsessed! - not a brand I wanted to fall in love with...but I did. ;)

I purchased two items and got a sample of a foundation too. I got to say... I made wise choices that day. The lipgloss I'm about to talk about is one of them and the other was the (old version) of the Meteorites in 03 Teinte Dore (which is AMAZEBALLS; though I have yet to compare it with the new formulation).

Okay, let's get back on track haha. The Guerlain Maxi Shine lip gloss in 465 Bubble Gum.

The color description: warm mid-tone pink with golden shimmer. It's a lipgloss that looks great all year round. It's bright but not too bright that it looks weird on the lips. And this lipgloss goes with many different eye looks since you can build up the intensity :).

First off, the packaging is gorgeous, very sleek, and luxurious. The packaging gets an A from me. It definitely looks beautiful on my vanity/makeup desk.

The applicator is a flat doe foot applicator kind of thing. 

It does not feel awkward or stiff when applying this product to the lips. You can layer on the color or apply a sheer coat on your lips. 

Review: It does not feel sticky on the lips. It feels very light weight and is very opaque. What I like about this gloss is that the pigmentation is buildable. So depending on your eye makeup, you can customize the intensity of the bubble gum pink color on your lips. It wore on my lips for about 4 solid hours without any fading or sliding off my lips. When a lip product is long wearing and looks good after a few hours, I do not mind splurging a little more (for example: YSL Glossy Stains - those last 6-7 hours on me :O). 

Where you can find this - I purchased this at Nordstrom and I believe it is sold at other department stores that sell Guerlain. Checking Sephora just now, it is not available on their website but they do offer other shades in the Maxi Shine line of lipglosses. 

I hope you found this helpful. If you have any questions or if I forgot to cover something, please let me know. I'll gladly answer any and all questions to the best of my ability :). I'm a Guerlain newbie though, keep that in mind.

Talk to you all soon,
