I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’ll be attending The Makeup Show LA today for the first time even though this year marks the 7th year they have been on the West Coat. Stay tuned for a full recap of my experience. In the meantime I have a few reads that I’ve been loving this past week that I wanted to share.
- Café Makeup reviews and compares the new Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powder in Indiscretion to the previously released Spellbound
- British Beauty Blogger has a preview of Chanel Les Beiges coming out this summer, I need one of everything please!
- I have major envy of this beautifully edited and well organized makeup desktop on Tamira Jarrel (formerly Lipstick With Some Sunshine)
- The RaeViewer has a gorgeous tutorial on how to use the MAC Nordstrom Naturals x15 palette
- It’s been a while since I bought something from Clinique but the Nude Pop Cheek Pop Blush looks utterly gorgeous on Temptalia
- Beauty Professor has 6 shades of Burberry Kisses swatched and reviewed
I love using Instagram as a way to keep up with my favorite reads in beauty, fashion, travel and more. A few that I’ve been loving:
- @theglowedit Kate Rooney has some of the most gorgeous beauty images filled with amazing marble backgrounds, Jo Malone, Tom Ford Byredo, and much more
- @gossmakeupartist is always a fun one to follow, right now he has a sneak peek of Tom Ford Beauty Summer and it’s to-die-for gorgeous
- @savinachaiyj has a feed filled with crisp and clean imagery of all things beautiful
- @parisinfourmonths is forever a favorite and brightens up my day every day
- @bigskymunchkins is a must for kitty-lovers, the new kittens are too cute for words
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday! (P.S. Above shown is Fresh Sugar Nude, in case you missed it, the review + swatches here.)


Off to check out some of your IG loves. Hope you have a beautiful Sunday. What polish is on your nails in this pic? Love it!!!
Hi Gail, I've been on the road today, sorry for the delay. I updated the post, it's Marc Jacobs Daisy 🙂
So great of you to share other people in the blog community! Really love the site as well!
I'm dying for those Cheek Pops!
I need one!

totally unrelated to the the topic of this post: your ring is AMAZING!
Thank you Casey 🙂
I picked up four of the Clinique cheek pops and one of them is Nude Pop, so gorgeous.
Superb styling as usual!!! Do you have a source for that glass mug? It's gorgeous!
Hi Nicole, yes! Sorry I forgot to list where, I updated the post. It's a Nespresso mug from the VertuoLine set (linked above). I think it's exclusive online and to Nespresso boutiques.
Tom Ford summer! Be still my beating heart! LOL As soon as I saw Wayne's preview, I started saving money. It's all about fun in the sun and sultry summer nights. That man certainly knows how to do sexy.
Oh, I forgot to say that Beaut.ie has the TF collection, too, and you can see the new eyeshadow duos which come in a stack like the eye primer. There is a cream color in a jar topped by a "celestial " shade in a pan. I can hardly wait 🙂
Thank you!! I am heading over there right now, I can't wait for the launch either!!
Hope you had a marvelous time at the show today, my friend!! Can't wait to hear about what you procured ; )
