Hello lovely people! Today's post is not what I had planned, but when I got home from running around today, of cooourse it started raining, and was too dark to take pics for my August Favorites post. No worries, it will be up soon! I did manage to get a few makeup pics before I went out this morning, though. I actually went to bed last night thinking, "I want to wear purple eyeshadow tomorrow." Do you guys ever do that? Anyways, I pulled out my purple go-to -- the NARS Jolie Poupee eyeshadow duo. I bought it about two years ago, and I just think it makes for the prettiest purple eye. I tend to choose neutral eyeshadow shades, but when I want something a little different, purple or green really make my baby browns "pop" (sorry for the cliche!).
The only problem I have with colored eyeshadow is that I struggle to find a lipstick that isn't either too much or not enough. I thought Shu Uemura's Darling Beige matte lipstick worked perfectly, though! Just enough color without competing with the eyes - I love how it works with the peach YSL cream blush, too. :) Speaking of the YSL cream blushes, they are soooo amazing. I was lusting after the new Blush Radiance powder blushes, but I think I'd prefer another cream blush! I have #1 (peach) and #2 (rose) already - maybe the orange or fuchsia?? *sigh*
Oh, and I used the last drops of my Moroccanoil (which I thought I'd already binned!) today after several weeks without. Um, I could not stop touching my hair all day long, aaaand I couldn't resist buying a new mini bottle while I was out shopping today. >_< I got the Light version this time, since it's designed for fine & light-colored hair.

I wore a new dress today that I picked up from Target earlier this week. I love it! I will say, though, that I found the slip to be a little short, so I wore black leggings with it. I like the print, too - not too overpowering. I actually wore a leopard print handbag today, and believe it or not, I thought the two prints worked well together!
See you all again soon! Can't wait to share my monthly favorites with you - and my recent shopping finds! :)
Oh, and because I left them out of my last post, here are a few pics of my little chunks - they're getting so big!!
Ring around the rosy?
