contouring 101- skin tone savers
If you are pale like me, and you like to contour, you know, bronzed is sometimes just code for really orange. Now, sometimes, a deliberately contoured golden toned brown is a good thing. But if you are doing a cooler makeup look, that just distracts. I have found, that using a very neutral leaning lavender eye shadow is key. Is looks like a real shadow, not eye shadow.
On the other hand, if you have a darker skin tone, you may want to stick with the warmer brown colors that will look much more natural on your skin. Using a matte contouring color, and then sweeping a shimmery bronzer or highlighter will give it a less obvious glow.

march favorites
Its really incredibly hard to believe that it's already April. I mean really, where did 1/4 of the year go? Anyways, here are a few of the things I've been loving this month. The soap and glory greatest scrub of all, is legit, the greatest scrub of all. The Korres mattifying primer is the absolute best thing. The sheer tint evens skin tone, and the silicone free formula doesn't clog pores, and keeps skin matte. And it smells divine, as is expected from Korres. The sephora brand liquid liner is awesome for a super clean wing, or little dots of the lashes. you can even get your liner brush a little damp after you allpy a thin line, and then smudge it for a lightly smokey lash look. My only complaint is that it tends to smudge, I think iI'll try the Illamasqua one next. The sephora nano pencil sharpener gets pencils to a super fine point without having to waste a lot of product. Dutch mints, the super chic version of junior mints. Revlon photo ready 3D volume waterproof mascara has been amazing this month, I love the brush and the no smudge formula. See my review here. Neutrogina deep clean cream cleanser. This seems like a very basic cleanser, but it has greatly helped my skin over the past month. Honest Kids ( from the makers of Honest Tea) organic fruit punch. Laugh all you want, but this has a ton of vitamin C, only 40 calories, and tastes amazing. L'oreal wet shine stains. I have two of these and the formula is so so so amazing, I highly recommend them, even to those of you that don't like gloss. These Classiques Entier "sabrina" pump are a recent purchase of mine, and they are incredibly comfortable, in addition to being a particularly stunning shape.
Marina and the Diamonds has been my music fix of late. I especially love the song "how to be a heartbreaker". I hope you guys had a wonderful March, and have an even better April.
