Megan Takes on the Trends: Toasted Almond

I had so much fun with my Tangerine post that I decided to go dig through my stash for all of this spring's hottest hues. I decided now to go with what I thought would be the easiest, Toasted Almond.


I was a little wrong. I could only find five vaguely Toasted Almond-looking shades in my collection! Guess that just goes to show you how many brights I wear.


I've got a shadow from my Smashbox on the Rocks Luxe Palette, Totally Nude (the leftmost shade here!)


Joe Fresh cream blush in Pecan, which is totally not Toasted Almond but the closest cheek colour I had to a brown. Plus I need an excuse to wear it more.


Anna Sui Lip Rouge in 701.


And Rimmel Colour Rush Balm in Drive me Nude. 


Plus, the right highlight shade from my Too Faced Jingle All the Way phone palette (sick of seeing this baby yet?)

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm in Drive me Nude.

I apologize for the lighting in these upcoming photos; it makes my face look like a toasted almond. What the heck.



Wearing all aforementioned products except for the Rimmel Balm.



Anna Sui lip rouge switched out for Rimmel Drive me Nude.

Well, that was the best of Toasted Almond I could come up with from my collection! But just wait 'til you see my Lavender stash.

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop
