FOTD: Golden Mangrove

I have a quick face of the day to show you. Quick, as in I am going to type this up rather quickly... I am on my way out the door! Not quick as in "this look took mere moments to throw together", although it wasn't necessarily time consuming. I've been wanting to use NARS Mangrove in a look lately, and today was the day!

I used a couple of new Revlon goodies as well. 40% off at Rite Aid this week, and I had $1 off any Revlon lip product coupons! Woo-hoo!

Face: Clinique Redness Solutions Face Base, NARS concealer, Revlon Colorstay Makeup for dry/normal skin, Benefit High Beam, NYC loose powder, Body Shop Bronzer, NYX Taupe blush, NARS Angelica blush.

Eyes: MUFE Aqua Cream in 13 as base, NARS Mangrove in crease, Revlon Vintage Lace to highlight inner corner and under brow, MUFE Aqua Cream in 2 to line top and bottom lashes, Inglot AMC Shine 11 (shimmery light gold) to blend Mangrove near the top and inner edge, Prestige brow pencil, Ulta brow gel, Prestige My Biggest Lashes mascara, Stila Major Lash mascara.

Lips: Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait.



Finally found earrings to match my gold triangle necklace! Remember it? I featured it about a month ago.


Mangrove!

Love Mangrove with the gold above it... 

Revlon Lip Butter: Peach Parfait
So that's what I'm wearing right now! Apologies for the gratuitous shots of Mangrove... I just love that color so much, it's a gorgeous, wearable chartreuse. It's not the most flattering color on me, but I don't care; as long as I make sure to tone down the rest of my look and blend its edges with shades that are more flattering to me, it works out just fine and doesn't make me look too jaundiced.

      Thanks! It's very subtle, just brightens up my natural lip color a little!

      Isn't it? I use it so often as an allover wash of color that I forget what a pretty liner it makes!

      Peach Parfait is gorgeous, I can't believe I waited so long to pick it up! I do really like the Clinique face base. I've been waiting to see how it holds up as a primer in the hot weather before I review it here, but so far, it's been performing like a champ. I started off using it with a primer just as an extra complexion corrector, but it's been doing great as a primer on is own, too. Doesn't do anything dramatic for redness, but in my experience that's better than something that gives you a bit of a cast; it provides a nice slightly-corrected base, and then I use concealer for any areas that are still noticeably red.
