New Tom Ford Beauty at Nordstrom for Spring

February 15, 2022

More spring beauty launches are starting to trickle in and I’m excited for new formulas, fresh colors and pretty palettes that are coming out! I hauled some of the new Tom Ford Beauty launches from Nordstrom and I think there are some winners!

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad Creme Eyeshadow Palettes

Tom Ford launched a new eye palette formula called the Eye Color Quad Creme Eyeshadow Palettes ($89 each). These have a unique creme to powder finish that are ultra smooth with a good mix of matte, satin and shimmers. Texture is really unique in the sense that they have a creamy texture and feel but aren’t super emollient like a traditional cream. Colors are easy to blend and layer.

Rose Topaz is a neutral-cool palette with a nude beige pink (almost my skin tone), warm champagne, sparkling silvery taupe and a cool-toned brown with plum tones. Quality is excellent and tones are beautiful. It does pull more cool-toned on my medium olive skin, if you have neutral fair tones I think it will pull more neutral on you.

Tiger Eye is my favorite with a shimmery light peach, shimmery coral golden peach, shimmery light taupe bronze and satin warm deep brown. I think this will be great for spring to summer.

_____

Smoky Quartz is an all matte/satin finish palette with a light bark tan, medium light pink terracotta brown, cocoa brown and black-brown. This one surprised me because it looked darker in the pan and swatches than it applies on the eyes. On the eyes it’s almost like a deep but still natural contour eye palette and I love it!

Above wearing:

Foundation – Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Foundation in 06 Natural
Powder – NARS Light Reflecting Powder Pressed
Bronzer – Tom Ford Soleil Glow Bronzer in Gold Dust
Blush – Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Blush in Cherry Blaze
Eyeshadow – Tom Ford Eye Color Quad Creme Eyeshadow Palette in Smoky Quartz
Mascara – Tom Ford Extreme Mascara
Brows – Tom Ford Brow Sculptor in Espresso
Lip Primer – MAC Prep + Prime Lip
Lip Color – Tom Ford Satin Matte in Rose d’Amalfi
Top – Treasure and Bond

There is definitely a powdery dry down with these on my eyes. It has a soft lightweight texture. Lasting power is quite good. I think all three make for great everyday kind of wear.

Swatches of all three:

New Tom Ford Lip Colors

For the lips Tom Ford launched three new Private Rose Garden Satin Matte Lip Colors ($60 each) to go alongside his new Private Blend Rose Garden Fragrances (also available in minis in the Tom Ford Private Blend Roses Travel Set + Atomizer $200). I bought 2 of the 3 shades in Rose d’Amalfi which is a matte light rose pink and Rose de Chine which is a stunning warmer coral rose. Both have an ultra smooth texture, rich pigment, matte finish and long lasting power.

For a lot of matte lip colors, I’ll prep the lips with something like the MAC Prep + Prime Lip which is a lipstick base to help smooth the lip surface. It also prevents feathering and holds lip color in place.

Satin Matte Lip Color in Rose de Chine (wearing same as above but with the Tiger Eye quad)

Tom Ford also launched a couple of his best selling shades in the Rose Prick Lip Color Collection. Shades include Indian Rose (one of my favorite shades) and in Casablanca (deeper rose). The colors are the same as the regular lip color formula, the only difference is the packaging is pink and black which is super fun!

Swatches + comparisons below:

Overall some solid winners! My favorite quad is Tiger Eye although I’m really loving the simplicity of Smoky Quartz. For the Satin Matte Lip Colors I love both, I think they’re super wearable and fun for spring.

You can find the new Tom Ford Beauty launches now at Nordstrom. Have you checked out the new palettes or lipsticks? Or the new fragrances yet? They sound beautiful!

Gift Guide

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

February 9, 2022

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so I’ve put together a roundup of some cute gift ideas whether you’re looking for some things to hint for or treat yourself!

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight / nine / ten / eleven / twelve / thirteen / fourteen / fifteen / sixteen / seventeen / eighteen / nineteen

A few highlights! For the person who has everything you might to check out the new Hermes Shiny Lipsticks. There are three new colors and I picked them up while in Miami this weekend and cannot wait to try them! The SA said the lightest shade 05 Beige d’Eau is a color shifting/enhancing formula and will turn a pinkish shade on the lips.

My favorite larger vanity mirror from Anthropologie is available in a smaller mini Gleaming Primrose Vanity Size and it’s back in stock! I ordered mine back in December and it finally shipped. I love it. I think it’s so cute and would make a super nice gift for anyone!

Perfumes can be tricky to gift since scent is so personal but I’ve been loving the Byredo Young Rose so much. It’s the most beautiful fresh spring scent without any powder or strong rose notes which is perfect for me.

If you like the depth and potent scents like ones from Maison Francis Kurkdjian you will also love Mizensir Perfumes! I love Tres Chere, Luxury and For Your Love. You can order sampler discovery sets online. For full size bottles you can use SABRINA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase (US only).

A lot of you have asked about my bathrobe you’ve seen in a few stories and it’s the Cloud Cotton Robe from Parachute. I ordered an XS which fits perfectly (I’m 5’3” and most robes overwhelm my shorter frame but this is perfect). I could have gone up a size to the S for a more relaxed fit too but I love it. Mine is the white, but they added new colors which I think are fun! It’s a nice unisex kind of gift too!

What’s On My Wishlist

I’ve also put together a roundup of my personal wishlist (by Andrew’s request). He wanted to know what I had on my radar in a wide range of price points. I wouldn’t mind getting any of these as a Valentine’s Day Gift!

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight / nine / ten / eleven / twelve / thirteen / fourteen / fifteen

We stopped by the Loewe store in Miami over the weekend. I love their leather goods and purses. It’s so nice to be able to try things on in person! I did splurge on a few things (haul coming soon) but one thing I put on my “future purchase” wishlist was the Small Puzzle Bag (also available at department stores like Neiman Marcus). It’s the perfect in between practical size for me. (Most of my bags are either larger totes or super small minis.) I love both the calf and grained leather. I’m currently deciding on a color but might wait until the summer collections are out.

I’ve had a tennis bracelet on my wishlist for ages and have my eye on this Mini Diamond Tennis Bracelet from Ring Concierge. I’m still undecided as I can’t see or try it on in person, but love how dainty yet sparkly it looks!

La Mer came out with a Lip Polish and it looks amazing! Also I own so many sunglasses I probably should never buy another pair, but I love these Chanel Pantos Sunglasses in black (they’re the ones I’ve been wearing the most lately) and I wouldn’t mind having a pair in the pink/brown color!

Do you have any fun Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day traditions? What’s on your wishlist?

Skincare

Radiant Dewy Skin with Sulwhasoo

February 4, 2022

First Care Activating Serum

The First Care Activating Serum is their prepping serum they recommend as the first step in skincare after cleansing. It has a blend of 5 herbs to improve hydration, brightness, radiance and helps reduce the look of wrinkles. Sulwhasoo’s serum has what they call their JAUM ActivatorTM which is a mix of Lotus, White Lily, Solomon’s Seal, Peony and Rehmannia. I love the pump packaging and it has a very lightweight fluid texture to help boost the effectiveness of following skincare steps.

I found two pumps enough to cover my entire face. They recommend using this both morning and night. Skin is left glowing and dewy!

Concentrated Ginseng Renewal Cream

The second product I tried is their Concentrated Ginseng Renewal Cream. This is one of the creamiest moisturizers I have tried! It has a super silky smooth texture that melts right into the skin. They’ve combined Korean red ginseng and retinol to help with visible signs of aging which have started to creep in. It makes my skin feel more supple and bouncy. Complexion is noticeably more plump! I like using this as my night time moisturizer.

You can find both products available online at Sulwhasoo. If you’re new to Sulwhasoo products and want to try things out first they have a Bestsellers Trial Kit which looks really good, it has both the serum + cream in it along with a couple other items I’ve been wanting to try (I will probably order this myself). Also available in minis too here and here.

Do you have any Sulwhasoo favorites? I’ve heard so many good things about their face masks and serums! Would love to know what you love from the line!

EM Cosmetics Masterpiece Collection

February 3, 2022

The most beautiful makeup collection of my dreams has launched from EM Cosmetics with their new Masterpiece Collection! Everything is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend checking it out. I haven’t been this excited about a new makeup launch in quite a long time. You can find each piece available at EM Cosmetics.

In this collection:

Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palette ($40 each) in Rodin and Da Vinci
Heaven’s Glow Radiant Veil Blush ($34 each) in Baroque and Rococo
Lip Cushion Tinted Lip Luminizer ($23 each) in Mona Lisa and Van Gogh

Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palette

The Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palettes have a beautiful texture, amazing pigment, and ultra smooth texture that is layerable and easy to blend.

Rodin is like the palette of my dreams! It’s a neutral palette with a slight hint of warmth to make it super wearable with shimmers and mattes. It has a Tom Ford Nude Dip kind of vibe but with more warmth, variation and contrast between the shades for a complete eye look (while the Tom Ford shades are cooler toned and a bit more frosty). Their online swatches are very good on different skin tones so definitely check those out! It has a neutral champagne gold, a sparkling champagne opal kind of color, shimmery bronze taupe, matte fawn, matte warm cocoa and matte deeper brown.

Da Vinci is the darker variation with three shimmers in a pale shimmery peachy copper, an olive gold shimmer, copper shimmer, terracotta brown orange matte, warm matte brown, and a deep matte brown.

Heaven’s Glow Radiant Veil Blush

The Heaven’s Glow Radiant Veil Blush is a unique blush that has a beautiful subtle glow. Baroque is a light pale neutral with a hint of pink and beige. It’s hard to see on camera but it does show up as a very subtle pale neutral glow on the skin. In the summertime I think it will make for a beautiful subtle highlight on my skintone.

Rococo is a stunning medium-deeper neutral shade. It’s a glowing mauve brown neutral with a subtle pearl.

Lip Cushion Tinted Lip Luminizer

Last but not least there are two new shades of the Lip Cushion Tinted Lip Luminizer. This is one of my favorite lip formulas for a creamy tinted wash of color. They’re ultra pigmented, have a twist click up applicator and have good hydration. Mona Lisa is a neutral-cool beige and Van Gogh is a terracotta rose.

A few of you asked how this compares to the Tarte Maracuja Lip Balms. I love both formulas for a tinted lip balm. The EM Cosmetics formula is creamier/thicker and more opaque. Tarte’s formula is glossier with a more translucent quality so it looks glossier on the lips.

Two looks, Look 1 with the lighter set:

Foundation – Pat McGrath Skinfetish Foundation in LM14 (review here)
Powder – Rare Beauty Always an Optimist Soft Radiance Setting Powder in Light Medium
Concealer – Pat McGrath Skinfetish Concealer in LM12 (review here)
Blush – Heaven’s Glow Blush in Baroque
Eyeshadow – Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palette in Rodin
Eyeliner – Tom Ford Liquid Eyeliner
Mascara – Pat McGrath Fetish Eyes Mascara
Lip Color – Lip Cushion in Mona Lisa

Look 2 with the deeper set has the same base products, wearing it with the Heaven’s Glow Blush in Rococo, Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palette in Da Vinci and Lip Cushion in Van Gogh.

I love every piece of the collection. If you’re a neutral makeup lover like me I think you’ll love these too. It’s a nice change from the warm red and orange tones that are super popular these days.

Available online at EM Cosmetics.

Beauty Favorites

January Favorites

January 31, 2022

I’m rounding up my January favorites for the month! Here’s the edited list of what I’ve been loving!

I’ve been loving the Necessaire Body Oil for a really nice body oil that’s hydrating and fragrance-free. It absorbs nicely into the skin and leaves the skin feeling super hydrated. I still really love the Sisley Velvet Body Cream and La Mer Body Cream I featured in my Self-Care Favorites, but sometimes it’s nice to have an unscented option! Also one that is more affordable but still has that luxe feel.

I hauled a few of the Hermes nail products last year, one was on backorder and the Les Mains Hermes Nourishing Oil finally arrived! It’s quite an expensive cuticle oil but I really love it. It’s hydrating and effective. This formula is one that keeps selling out and has been a little hard to find but I pre-ordered it from Saks a while ago and it finally came in the mail. Currently available at Hermes, Selfridges and Saks (pre-order) but I do see it pop up on other retailers every once in a while when it restocks.

For foundation I reviewed three new ones recently and out of all of them the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin has been my favorite formula in 6 Neutral (on the face here). It has just the right amount of glow, coverage, texture and finish that I like. Similar to the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation but the Charlotte Tilbury seems just slightly more opaque. Some shades have sold out so you may have to do a bit of searching to find your match. Available at Charlotte Tilbury, Nordstrom and Sephora.

For color my go-to neutral blush is Laura Mercier Fresco. It’s been featured here before many times and I love it for the color and slight hint of shimmer. It’s the perfect neutral tan blush with some peach tones to give you a bit of natural color. Swatches + comparisons in this post here.

My go-to eyeshadow palettes have been the Natasha Denona Biba (review + swatches here) and Too Faced Natural Nudes (review here).

I found the perfect opaque baby pink nail polish with Dior Rose Quartz. It has the perfect undertone: pale, not too chalky, not too blue. It’s also opaque and smooth with 2 coats. I ordered it from Dior.com and it’s pure love.

For the lips I have so many loves but if I had to narrow it down to my top four, I’ve been loving the Dior Lip Maximizer in Bronze from holiday (review here). It’s a limited-edition color and I bought a backup. It’s a sheer bronze sparkle lip plumper. The Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath in Gold is similar if you can’t find the Dior one.

My love for the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balms continues! I’ve been loving Grapefruit for a nice juicy soft peach. (Currently on sale at Tarte!)

The Makeup By Mario Ultra Suede Sculpting Lip Pencil Johnny (swatched here too) has been a go-to for the perfect neutral pink. It’s not too dark, not too light, just the perfect in between kind of rose pink.

I love a good tinted lip balm and love the Chanel Rouge Coco Baumes from their Spring-Summer Collection, Flirty Coral is my favorite, but I love all the colors.

I bought the Byredo Young Rose as soon as it was available in the 50 ml size. It’s such a pretty spring time perfume and even though it’s named Young Rose, I don’t really detect a lot of rose notes. It’s a fresh sweet floral kind of scent, but not in an overpowering overly sweet way. Notes include Sichuan Pepper, Ambrette Seeds, Damascena Rose, Orris, Musk, Ambroxan.

For the hair, I’ve been loving the Olaplex Bonding Oil + Bond Smoother mixed for a smooth frizz-free blowout. A lot of you have been so kind to comment on how smooth my hair always seems to look. The reality is it takes a lot of work to maintain as I have naturally frizzy hair which requires a lot of smoothing, styling and extra help to keep smooth! In case you want to see my routine you can check out the Reel I did with Ulta Beauty.

A few other staples I’ve been loving. Long-time readers know I’m a huge fan of APL! I did a Roundup Review of the styles in an older post that I reference anytime I get questions about comfort, sizing, style favorites. I still wear them nearly everyday. They wash easily in the washing machine although I give them a soak first in the tub. Scuff marks and stains come out easily with some dish soap and a sponge. I throw them in the washing machine and then air dry them.

Favorite sneaker style is the Techloom Breeze.

Sizing, style info, etc in THIS POST HERE.

Also love the APL Slides!

Last mention is the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag. I’ve loved this for so long but don’t think I’ve done a full review. They had a few cute fleece options over the holiday which have sold out, but I also love the classic nylon material. The size is perfect for on-the-go kind of use. I use this whenever Andrew and I go on long walks. I also used it to walked Lucy too (RIP). It’s nice to carry just the essentials without having to carry a full purse.

I have it in multiple colors. Everywhere Belt Bag colors top to bottom is the light grey (older color), Pastel Pink, Mulled Wine and Black. Sweatshirt is Lululemon, biker shorts are Free People.

No 1 de Chanel Haul + Review

January 26, 2022

I hauled a few items from the latest No 1 de Chanel Skincare collection and have a review with some thoughts to share today! The lineup has products with their Red Camellia extract and oils to refresh and hydrate the skin. You can find the collection now at Chanel.com and Ulta Beauty. What I hauled:

Revitalizing Foundation ($70) in B40 and BD41
Lip and Cheek Balm ($45 each) in Healthy Pink, Wake-Up Pink, Lively Rosewood
L’eau Rouge Fragrance Mist ($110)
Revitalizing Serum-In-Mist ($95)

I skipped most of the new skincare and tested everything with other Chanel skincare items I own and love including the Hydra Beauty Water Cream, Hydra Beauty Micro Serum and La Solution 10 de Chanel. The new foundation formula worked beautifully with these.

Revitalizing Foundation

The No 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Foundation is a fluid illuminating foundation with sheer-medium coverage. It’s very lightweight with a nice glowy finish. On its own it’s very glowy but I liked that it wasn’t greasy feeling. It has a plumping smoothing effect on the skin with the Red Camellia Oil. Finish has medium lasting power even when set with a powder. Since it’s dewy/luminous adding a powder on top will cancel out the shine and glow with most formulas. I found the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder added on top helped set and tone down the shine but still allowed the glow to show through.

I picked B40 and BD41 and my perfect shade match now is BD41. I also picked up B50 for summer.

Overall feels and looks nice on the skin. If you have oily skin it may be too hydrating for you. Right now it works for me but in the summer months I suspect I will gravitate more towards the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation or CC Cream.

Compared to the Les Beiges Moisturizing Tint the new No 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Foundation has more coverage, a more fluid texture and is more lightweight.

Just the Revitalizing Foundation in BD41 on the skin:

Full makeup look wearing:

Foundation – Chanel Revitalizing Foundation in BD41
Powder – Chanel Les Beiges Powder in No 20
Lip + Cheek – Lip + Cheek Balm in Healthy Pink
Eyeshadows – Les 4 Ombres in Candeur Et Experience + Mediterraneen mixed
Eyeliner – Tom Ford Liquid Eyeliner
Mascara – NARS Climax Extreme
Top – Reformation

Swatches below compared to other formulas including the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation in 6 Neutral, Les Beiges Healthy Glow Moisturizing Tint, Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation and NARS Light Reflecting Foundation.

Lip and Cheek Balm

There are six shades of the Revitalizing Lip and Cheek Balms. I picked three to try knowing that there would be a chance I would not like these on the cheeks and I was right. These are luminous tinted balms. Applied with the fingers you will get a more lightweight tint but if you apply them with a lip brush you will get more pigment.

I have mixed feelings about these. They’re not bad, the quality and performance is quite good. But they are too dewy for my personal taste on the cheeks and I found they had no dry down which makes them have a sticky texture. They have a more sticky/tacky feel compared to the Baume Essentiel sticks but have the same amount of glow/shine in the finish.

On the lips they’re more comfortable and easier to wear but I would have preferred something in a twist up stick format instead.

Healthy Pink is a medium nude pink color, applied on lips (with lip brush) + cheeks

Wake-Up Pink is bright coral pink on lips + cheeks

Lively Rosewood is a mauve plum (on lips + cheeks)

No 1 de Chanel L’eau Rouge Fragrance Mist and Revitalizing Serum-In-Mist

The last two items I hauled are my favorite! The No 1 de Chanel L’eau Rouge Fragrance Mist was a huge surprise for me. It has a soft refreshing soothing kind of scent to it. To me it’s hard to describe, it has a similar vibe to the Hydra Beauty skincare line and also smells like some of the Shiseido skincare line. Chanel describes it as:

“Opening with an energetic burst of citrus and red berries, the scent unfurls into a heart of jasmine and rose, the iconic signature of the House’s fragrance, along with comforting iris and musk notes.”

To me this is a must-have but I know scent is so personal it might not be for everyone. It’s currently sold out at Chanel but still available at Ulta and I am ordering a backup.

I also really adore the No 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Serum-In-Mist. It’s a bi-phase formula with Red Camellia Oil and camellia water for a dewy refreshed mist of moisture. The oil is noticeable on the skin but it’s still lightweight. If you don’t like the emollient feel I’d recommend their Hydra Beauty Essence Mist instead for a more lightweight feel.

Overall some nice pieces in the collection. I think the foundation is beautiful but it’s not my favorite simply because I prefer something with more coverage and something less dewy. The stand outs are the L’Eau Rouge and Revitalizing Serum-In-Mist. I like the concept of infusing makeup with skincare.

Available now at Chanel.com and Ulta Beauty. I suspect it will be available at other stores soon! Have you checked out anything from the collection? What did you think?

Base Makeup NARS

NARS Light Reflecting Foundation Review

January 21, 2022

The latest from NARS is their Light Reflecting Foundation ($49, available in 36 shades) and new shades of the Light Reflecting Setting Loose Powder ($39, now in 4 shades). I posted a video on my Instagram Reels showing the application of the foundation in Sahel and so many of you had more questions about the formula I thought I’d do a full review!

The new NARS Light Reflecting Foundation is a foundation with skincare benefits described as a formula that will blur, smooth, conceal and maintain moisture. According to NARS the formula is 70% skincare. The NARS team sent a few shades and I found my best match to be either Santa Fe M2 or Sahel M2.5. I’m at my lightest right now, most of the year I’m usually a match to Vanuatu M3.5 or Barcelona M4.

In case you missed the tutorial you can watch it below:

A post shared by Sabrina | The Beauty Look Book (@beautylookbook)

The foundation finish has a natural glow and an easy to blend formula with medium coverage. I found it covered most of my sun spots and freckles without looking too heavy. I really don’t need concealer with this foundation! It has a lightweight feel I don’t feel it on my skin.

I would say texture is the biggest difference between this one and other NARS foundations. It has a more natural look and lighter texture compared to the Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation (reviewed a few years ago here).

A lot of you also asked how it compared to the Sheer Glow Foundation formula and I wish I could compare but can’t. I used it for a while when it launched, loved it, and then suddenly developed an allergic reaction to it so I stopped using it. I have no issues with the new Light Reflecting Foundation though.

I haven’t used this new formula enough to notice skincare benefits but I like the way it looks, blends out and feels on the skin. It does have a natural light reflecting quality to look like my skin but better. It is a long wear foundation that adheres to the skin so I find it essential to double cleanse at the end of the day. It’s not challenging to remove like a waterproof mascara but with all newer longer wearing foundations and powders these days you will need to take a little extra care at the end of the day to remove all of it at night.

Bare Skin vs a swipe of Sahel below

Side by side with Foundation vs No Foundation (applied with a beautyblender)

The Light Reflecting Loose and Pressed Powders used to be in heavy rotation when they first launched in the translucent Crystal shade. Both are stark white in the compact but smooth and set foundation without adding any white tint. I’m thrilled they decided to add more shades which I think will be better for tan to deeper skin tones.

Both the pressed and loose powders have NARS’ light reflecting complex. It diffused light, blurs out fine lines and has a soft look without any flashback in flash photos.

You can see the Light Reflecting Pressed Powder in Crystal in action in my Reel (linked above). I highly recommend giving it a try! It has a very stiff texture in the pan. If you swipe a brush you will almost think no product is being picked up on the brush but once you apply to the face you will see the transformation!

Here’s a closer look at the Light Reflecting Loose Powder in Shore for medium to medium-deep skin tones. It looked a little dark in the jar but I am pleased to report it doesn’t darken my foundation. This one has a mesh sifter cover and a lid to prevent spilling/leakage. It has a superfine light feel, almost like air.

One more quick look at one of my favorite concealers in the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Ginger. Right now I find Macadamia a better match for spot concealing/brightening. I could probably use Custard too, but most of the year I’m either Macadamia or Ginger. In the summer I go as deep as Praline.

Full makeup look wearing:

Foundation – NARS Light Reflecting Foundation in Sahel*
Concealer – NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Macadamia*
Powder – NARS Light Reflecting Loose Powder in Shore*
Bronzer – Huda Beauty GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder in 03 Tan Light (swatches here)
Cheeks – NARS Orgasm + Savage* Blushes mixed
Eyeshadow – Too Faced Natural Nudes Born This Way Eyeshadow Palette (swatches here)
Mascara – NARS Climax Extreme Mascara
Eyeliner – Tom Ford Liquid Eyeliner
Brows – Benefit Precisely My Brow in Shade 3
Lip Liner – Chanel Le Crayon Levres in 156 Beige Naturel* (swatches of all shades here)
Lip Gloss – NARS Afterglow Lip Shine in Orgasm* (all new shades swatched here)
Top – Abercrombie Cardigan (older style)

Overall I really like the new NARS foundation! I like how it blends, wears and feels. You can find it now at Sephora and NARS Cosmetics. Have you tried this one yet? What did you think?
