what i wore this weekend (on my face, body, & nails)

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I've probably mentioned it before, but my weekend is actually Sunday and Monday, so mine's just wrapping up! I'm happy to report that my weekend went pretty much without a hitch. I did my usual routine of shopping, kitty snuggling, and catching up on my DV-R (I also had a little Disney movie marathon last night!). Nothing all that exciting, but that's how I roll, my friends. :)

I actually set out with a plan for my makeup looks this weekend. I wanted to wear:

1) my new YSL Volupte Sheer Candy shades, because they are amaaahzing (as Penny from Happy Endings - which no one but me and Elise from Blush is the New Black watch, apparently! - would say) and I wanted to show them in action. :)

2) items from the Sephora-exclusive bareMinerals Putting on the Glitz set. I picked it up Saturday with a gift card I was too excited to wait until next week to use! I'm so impatient. :\ Anyways, I'm going to do a separate post with swatches and product photos, too.  I think a lot of you ladies would LOVE this set, and might want to check it out during Sephora's Friends & Family sale (Oct. 20 - Nov. 2, I believe). I'm not usually a big fan of bareMinerals products, but this set has totally won me over.

Anyways, let's get on with it!

FACE

Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation
YSL Touche Eclat
YSL pressed powder
Love & Beauty (Forever21) cream cheek blush in Coral 
(this blush was only $1.50 and is AMAZING! There's a baby pink, too, which DUH, I also picked up - if you like cream blushes, you need to try these!)
bareMinerals Luxe Radiance (highlight)

bareMinerals Prime Time Primer Shadow in Toasted Almond
bareMinerals Glitz e/s
Essence Metropolitan e/s
MAC Sand & Sun e/s

bareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing mascara

LIPS

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy #9 Cool Guava



 

TEE: Old Navy
SHORTS (I switched into jeans!): Target
SCARF: Missoni for Target*
BAG: Aldo
SCENT: Lush Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead was an LE Lush forum release fragrance that I bought (a year ago?) per Muse's recommendation. I've yet to try Lady Catrina soap, but I hear they have the same scent.  To me it smells like a sweet fruity soap (hard to describe!). I don't wear it often (I don't want to run out!), but I looooove it. <3 It's more a fun, summer scent, but being that it's still in the 80's here, I'm going with it!

 
*Mouse-oni for Target?


NAILS: Essie Licorice w/OPI Spark-tacular top coat

Also wanted to show you my new loves, which were featured in the FOTDs above (I posted about Volupte Sheer Candy #9 here). I couldn't wait to share! :)

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy #10 Tangy Mandarina

bareMinerals Putting on the Glitz set

Like I said earlier, I'm going to post product photos and swatches in a separate post (should be up tomorrow) - I've already got too much going on in this one! I also think it deserves its own post, 'cause it's just that awesome.

And blah blah blah, that is all!

Or is it?

(it looks like they're wrestling, but Sammy was actually cleaning Mouse's head - too cute)

Okay, now that's all! ;)

Thanks as always for reading!

xoxo,
<3 Jess

  3. Thanks Danielle! My skin's been dry lately (I've been using Effaclar Duo since I had a bad breakout last month - that stuff really works, but it is drying), so I really appreciate that "glowy" comment! haha

    Romz - You really can't go wrong with that price tag!! And it's worth way more (and so is the pink!). I'm going to post more on them soon. :)

  10. Hey Jessica, I just cracked open Jingle G (couldn't resist) and it smells like a "fruity oriental" as described. It's light but has a non-candy fruit scent with some spice and vanilla, kind of how you'd want a fruit cake to smell, I guess? It's festive but delicate, I'm really liking it! I think it's perfect for a cozy family holiday party where everybody's wearing matching sweaters, lol!

  12. Hey Jessica,

    I also have Volupte Sheer Candy in Cool Guava.
    Only on my lips it's more like a hot pink. Also nice.
    But I like the color on your lips better ; ). More a nudepink.
    So... do you use something else (e.g. concealer) on your lips to get this color?

    Thx :)

    1. Hi Lisa! When my lips are redder, it goes brighter on me, too. I often apply foundation (lightly) or dab a pen concealer (I use YSL or Clinique's, but Maybelline and L'Oreal have released ones, too) on my lips and then blend with my finger before I apply any lip product. I feel like it tones down brighter colors nicely! I'm not sure if I did that for these particular photos, but either way I think that it might help you get the color you want. Hope that was helpful!
