My makeup came out awesomely perfect a couple times last week so I want to share with you my current “look”.
Eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion – the world’s best eyeshadow base – $17
Urban Decay Sell Out Eyeshadow – the perfect shimmery but not too shimmery nude eyeshadow (if you ever tried Midnight Cowboy but wanted it without the glitter then this is the eyeshadow for you) – $16
Clinique Egyptian Cream Shaper – almost black but with just enough hints of green and gold glitter and it glides on so smoothly – $14.50
Add your favorite black mascara. My favorite is L’Oreal Voluminous which came in at least 4 different shades of black last time I needed to pick some up at the drugstore.
Cheeks
Stila Lillium Convertible Color – easy to work with cream blush in a wonderful nude-pink – $25 (weird bonus fact: when Estee Lauder sold off Stila it got bought by the same parent company that owns the Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation restaurant chain)
Lips
MAC Viva Glam V Lipglass – a creamy soft neutral pink, all proceeds of the Viva Glam line go towards the fight against AIDS – $14
Almost all of these items can be picked up at Sephora (except for the MAC lipglass – check for it at Macy’s or Nordstrom – and the L’Oreal mascara – check your local drugstore). Sephora’s annual Friends and Family sale is currently underway and will continue until November 2nd, 2009. Use the code FF2009 at checkout for 20% off almost everything. I’ve shopped that sale several years in a row now but I’m currently completely stocked up and don’t plan to make an order this year. If you’re placing an exciting order, tell me about it so I can live vicariously.

I placed 2 orders. The first one was the NARS Orgasm/Laguna Duo with the Orgasm nail polish & Dior’s Silver Purple Nail Polish which is a wonderful color. I was buying a gift for my mom on Sephora and wanted to qualify for the free shipping so I bought DiorShow mascara in blue and a glitter pen for eye lashes. I know I probably spend more on the products than the shipping but it was just another excuse to shop.
