Recent Favorites #1

Since starting back up at college, I haven't had time to post monthly favorites - being far too busy to set aside time for it at either point over the last two months.  That being said, I just couldn't wait to share some of the products that I've been loving recently!



First on the list is Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in 2 ($60).  This is one of my most expensive bases; however, it's also one of my favorites.  I bought this about a month ago and I can't stop using it.  It's a gorgeous match for me, and the light-medium coverage and natural finish are exactly what I look for in a foundation.  I've also recently fallen for a higlighter - the Burberry 'Fresh Glow' Luminous Highlighting Powder in No. 01 Nude Radiance ($48).  Although not the most shimmery highlighter, it gives a subtle glow that is just so natural - no disco balls here!

As for eyes, I've been sticking to some tried favorites - MAC Eyeshadow in Era (easily my favorite MAC eyeshadow) all over the lid for a simple, natural look, and MAC Eyeshadow in Brun to line my upper lash line, again for a more natural looking eyeliner ($10 each in pan form).  Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Medium Brown ($23) has also been my weapon of choice for my brows.  I use the lighter shade for a more natural, defined brow - plus this powder seriously lasts, you can't fault it! 

Finally, I've been reaching almost daily for an all-time favorite lipstick - Chanel Rouge Coco in 05 Mademoiselle ($34).  Chanel's lipsticks are definitely my favorite high-end offerings, with a creamy texture and good lasting powder, they can't be beat.  This particular shade is supposed to be special, as it's meant to appear to be a slightly different shade on everyone (I'm not sure whether that's entirely true or not).  All that being said, it's a warm, natural rose shade that's perfect for everyday wear.  You can read my full review on this lipstick here.
