LOTD: Pigtails & Demi Lashes

I suppose a LOTD is different than a FOTD in that I don't break down everything I use for LOTD's, mostly because I'm lazy or didn't take enough pictures. This would be both cases as I was just going out to dinner and missed half-price sake happy hour by like, 30 minutes :( Alas.

Wore fun pigtails, a midnight smoky eye (consisting of black, brown, and blue shadows with demi-cut false lashes by Ardell), and pink lips with Lancome Juicy Tubes in Simmer layered over NARS gloss in Female Trouble. I'm honestly wearing like four different cheek shades including highlighter so I won't go there... I will say that Mezhgan makes an awesome shimmer bronzer that will make you glow whether you have light or dark skin. I brush that on all over, then apply blush on top.

I took a tip from Spoiled Pretty/Glamour mag that says you can use hairspray to set your makeup. Hold it at an arm's length from your face then spritz. My face smelled like Citrus Lift Herbal Essences, but it worked!

FOTD: François, My Love (plus {me} by Mezhgan)

Dear François Nars,

Thank you for creating such a lovely cosmetics line. Your glosses drench my lips in decadence. Your blush gives me a beautiful glow without looking cakey like that *other* line, whose black packaging doesn't match the sleek elegance of your own. And your highlighting blush duo containing Sin (which looks lovely against my skintone) and Albatross (a deceivingly off-white shade which imparts a sheer glow) is my new favorite makeup item, evarrr.

Love,

A Smitten Beauty Junkie
