Face of the Day: Valentine's Day 2016

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm in California and so it's pretty much almost over, but here's my look I did to go out with my boyfriend! We're actually very low key and usually don't do anything... and then three weeks ago, he jokingly told me to plan something since he was planning my birthday. I did panic a little bit since I thought everything would've been booked up a month in advanced but I was also pretty excited since it was the first time in 4 years we would be able to spend the day together. 

Anyway, back to makeup - Here's what I used today! I wanted to keep things on the pinky / rose side and it also matched with the flowers on my dress.

Review & Swatches: Burberry Wet & Dry Glow Shadow in No. 002 Nude

The Burberry Wet & Dry Glow Shadow in No. 002 Nude is from the more glittery / luminous version of the original Wet & Dry Silk Shadows. The claims include giving an "effortless wash of luminous, highlighting color" on the lids and like the original version, these can also be used dry to be more subtle and wet to be more dramatic / metallic. The Burberry website said that these shadows can also be used as a "top coat" to make other shadows more luminous. There is 1.8 grams / 0.06 ounces of product and retails for $29.

Review & Swatches: L'oral Infallible Pro Matte Glosses in Forbidden Kiss and Nude Allure

The L'oreal Infallible Pro Matte Glosses in Forbidden Kiss and Nude Allure are relatively new releases from L'oreal and it combines the cushiony feel of a gloss with the longevity and pigmentation of a liquid lipstick. Unlike the popular liquid matte lipsticks out right now, these don't claim to be budge / transfer proof. They instead emphasize on giving a velvety finish and look with all day comfort. There is 0.21 fluid ounces / 6.3 grams and they retail for around $9.99 each.

Review & Swatches: Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Masochist

The Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Masochist is a dark raspberry / fuchsia matte liquid lipstick and surprisingly, it's one of the colors I wear the most from Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Even though this color is from their permanent line, it was sold out for a long time and is coming back on February 12th! I actually got this the same time as Androgyny, but didn't feel rushed to do it until now so that I can put my thoughts out there before the huge restock. There is 0.19 fluid ounces / 5.6 grams of product and retails for $18. You can find it on the Jeffree Star Cosmetic website here, but also on Beautylish here (which has free shipping over 30!).

Review & Swatches: Etude House Look At My Eyes Monkey Wish Eyes in GR707, BE109, and PK013 [Pink Bird Box]

The Lunar New Year is coming up soon (February 8!) and it'll be the Year of the Monkey! To celebrate, Etude House brought out some new shades from their Look At My Eyes range with special packaging. The Look At My Eyes Monkey Wish Eyes collection contains both jewel and velvet finishes and includes 6 new limited edition shades. The velvet finish version of the shadows retail for $4.60 and the jewel finish version of the shades retail for $7.20. Both versions contain 0.07 ounces / 2 grams of product and you can find these shadows on Etude House's website here!

In this post, I'll be reviewing GR707 Exam Passed, BE109 Pay Day, and PK013 Cheer up! If you missed it, I also reviewed the Big Cover Concealer BB and Cushion Concealer here.

Review & Swatches: Etude House Big Cover Concealer BB in #23 Sand and Cushion Concealer in Peach Pink [Pink Bird Box]

Etude House recently brought out their Big Cover collection and includes base products that perfect and create flawless skin. Each of the items in this line are different takes on concealer, but they're all high coverage products. The products I will be reviewing are the Big Cover Concealer BB SPF50+ / PA+++ in #23 Sand and the Big Cover Cushion Concealer SPF 30/PA++ in Peach Pink and they both can be found on the global Etude House website here.

Just as a heads up, this will be a picture heavy post but it will hopefully be less wordy than the other Pink Bird Box I talked about last month. There will be another post later this week to talk about the Look At My Eyes Monkey Wish Eyes that I also got in this month's box!
