Currently Loving :: Brass Decor

Brass Baby

There is something so incredibly lovely about brass decor. I love how people have chosen to bring new life to the vintage pieces by mixing them with different textures and finishes.  I think one of the first pieces that caught my eye was the overhanging throwback brass lamp from the sixties. The era is full of bold modern design elements that not only beg for conversation but give your home luxurious feel without looking stuffy or untouchable.

Beauty Essentials

Smashbox Photo Set Pressed Powder : After going through quite a few different powders, I think I've finally found a keeper. Although the size of the actual product is smaller than the normal portion, the think compact makes it easy to stash in any size bag. The powder provides a fairly build-able coverage, and comes in a shades that blends well with my natural skin tone.
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real : As is with most Benefit cosmetics this product is amaaze! I usually keep a few different mascaras on hand a drugstore brand and a more pricey wand. If you like your lashes long and full, you'll love this mascara. I found several other advertised {Fake Lash} mascaras to look cakey and prove to be a real pain to remove, so I was hesitant to try it. However, it has proved to be just the opposite, the product goes on smooth and bears great results.
Anastasia Brow Wiz Medium Ash : One area that never goes untouched is my brows. I have always been drawn to darker bolder eyebrows, so I make sure to keep my tidy {threaded / Shaped} and filled in. The pencil makes it a breeze to apply small strokes, so the end result dosent end up looking fake or overdown. 
Stila - Prime Pot (Taffy) : One of the only eye primers that I've tried that actually stays put! Creasy eye-lids are a no-no in my book, why go through all the work of doing your eyeshadow if it is just going to end up looking smudged and shiny. I prefer a neutral color since, I rarely do dark eyeshadow, however in that rare occasion this has proved to stand the test. 
MAC Fluidline Blacktrack : I'm a long time user of the fluidline from MAC, in fact I don't think I've ever really changed up my eyeliner since high school. This little pot of blackness will last you plenty of winged lines, and will keep its smooth consistency if stored properly. I tend to keep my away from any source of heat to prevent this little guy from drying out, as an added bonus once your finished you can save to take BACK2MAC recycle program.
NARS Bronzing Powder Laguna : An obvious fan favorite for its perfect shade of bronze! I'm usually not a fan of sparkly bronzers, but this shade is beyond perfect. The minimal shiny flakes and deep hue compliment any lighter skin tone, and can be used year around.  Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter : Another instant favorite, for their smooth consistency and great color payoff! I've been slowly acquiring different shades in the collection and have not been disappointed with any that I've tried {which is quite a few}. I highly recommend these and at the price who can resist!

Fashion Friday 3/23

Sequin Sweater :: H&M {Similar Style} /Hunger Games Nail Polish in Riveting :: China Glaze / Super Bossa Nova :: Essie /  Swimmie in Barbie Pink :: Marc By Marc Jacobs 

Although I wasn't present with the masses last night, I am beyond excited to see the Hunger Games!! After reluctantly giving in and reading the book {after many friends HIGHLY recommended it} I've been hooked! I wasn't even finished with the  first book, before I ordered the last two novels of the series.

This weekend should be relatively low key, besides going into the city tonight to celebrate a certain occasion with a few friends. My magazines have been stacking up, and are just waiting to be read, so I'll have to set aside some time for a little R&R so I can catch up {Which needs no convincing.}

Happy Friday & Happy Hunger Games ;)
