fotd + the cutest baby i know :)

I haven't posted many FOTDs lately, because - not sure if I've mentioned this already, my apologies if I have! - the camera in my phone doesn't like taking pictures of faces right now.  It just can't seem to get the colors right. Product photos and swatches are fine, but for some reason, face pics have been a total pain. :\ Anyways, I tried to tough it out today because I was SO impressed with the payoff of the Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow quad in Moonlit. I couldn't recommend it more, especially if you like taupes and browns! 

 
 

FACE

Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation
Lancome Star Bronzer (matte) in Sunkiss

EYES

Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow quad in Moonlit
MAC Blacktrack fluidline

A pic of the products used...



I had a really eventful week - I had three separate vet appointments for muh boys (one of which was Sammy's neuter operation - poor guy!), and then Thursday my best friend/cousin and her 8-month-old daughter Felicity came to visit me from Chicago! They just left yesterday and already I miss them loads! :( We had lots of fun during their stay, though - we went to EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and did lots of shopping and eating of course!

I took about a thousand pictures of Felicity, and quite a few videos, too.  I thought I'd share some of my faves. Isn't she ridiculously adorable??











Alright, hope you all are enjoying your night! See you again soon, and thanks for reading!

xoxo,
<3 Jess

  5. Beautiful baby girl xxx.
    Love your FOTD as always - just wanted to ask what's your favourite highlighter? I don't have one in my collection and obviously need one!!!

  6. Thanks for your lovely comments, ladies!

    Georgia - OMG, I have been stalking your blog the past few days. I picked up the Tom Ford Burnished Amber quad and love it so much that now I'm wanting more... your post on Frantic Pink has it at the top of my list! It looks amazing on you! :)

    Leigh - I only have 3 (so far!) but I think they're amazing! I want to get the gold shade next. :) I definitely think they're as good as MAC paint pots!

    Vita - That's such a tough choice! I go back and forth amongst several. The YSL Metallic Colorama (pink-toned) was LE but it's definitely a fave. I also love Benefit Watt's Up (champagne) - it's so simple to apply! Dior's Amber Diamond (multi-colored, warm-toned) and TheBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer (champagne) are also great. TheBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer is easy to overdo, though - you only need a tiiiiny amount of powder on your brush! I like MAC MSFs, too, but hardly reach for them.

  11. Rachel - Oh god, you definitely need the Amethyst Caviar Stick - it is so, so good. At least give it a swatch when you see it. :)

    Vicky - I know what you mean - I Google-searched the hell out of it before ordering, but couldn't find a single thing! I just posted about it here. Hope the swatches help! I want to try Darling, too - it looks like such a nice peachy pink!

  12. Vita - Good choice! It's pretty much goof-proof, and great for throwing in a makeup bag! (Be warned, though - the cap on the sponge end tends to come off - argh!)

    Mama - Thanks! It feels unreal!!
