Thanks. In person I feel like I do. Window light makes even my eye bags go away! At least the ones that I see 😛

Yes, I did! They're the following:

Sugared Bronze

In The Buff

Queen Tiffany

Queen Phyllis

Hope this helps 🙂

[SDdenm]

We always look worse to ourselves than to others so I'm sure you look great. 

Thanks for the shadow breakdown! I have Sugared Bronze (which I'm guessing was the lid color) and Queen Phyllis. 

[kbmatthews]

You are correct! The other two I got in a kit, not sure if they're sold separately? In the Buff is pretty much a nude colour. And Tiffany is the darker outer and lashline colour.

[SDdenm]

I'm sure I have a taupey/bronze somewhere in my collection in order to replicate your look. Thanks kb!

Your eyes are enchanting!

holy cow so pretty!!! love the blush and your eyes!

[Nicrohr]

ahaha just read that it's not blush, sorry for the irritation, but it sure looks charming ;)!

[kbmatthews]

Haha! It's okay 😛 If you can tell, the rosiness goes all down the side of my face. Ah well! Yay winter.

[Mochapj]

Your outfit today makes me think you look like KB, with a little andreabonder thrown in! 😉

All us Ontarian ladies seem to have some windburn this weekend 😞  I double-masked last night and feel like I'm barely keeping on top of it.

I like Rollerlash on you, it separated really well.  How many coats did you use?

[kbmatthews]

Haha, I can see that! 😛 I actually had on darker makeup today, but had to take it all off, and I had my hair braided... I reminded myself of Wednesday Adams 😛

My skin has been suffering, so I've been taking my time to pamper it. These -40C winds are brutal. What masks are you using?

Yeah, I'm surprised how well Rollerlash turned out. I only used one coat, since I have no other makeup on. No clumps or smudges, and good separation.

I've been switching it up a bit each day.

Saturday I did the FAB Oatmeal in the afternoon and NUDE Purify at night (I find both of these very moisturizing, even though one is clay).  

Yesterday I did Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask (during the day) and then for overnight I did a new oil (PTR Oilless Oil) followed by PTR Rose Stem Cell (worn as an overnight mask).

I've been feeling good when I wake up, but as soon as I go outside and it's windy again, my skin is just parching itself.  

I bought a new Dr Jart mask I'm planning to try tonight.  Hopefully it will help.  I feel like the older I get, the more I notice the weather affecting my skin.

[ShannonAlexis]

The rollerlash looks pretty great. Your skin looks healthy and perfectly flushed. Wind is the most natural blusher I guess. 

[kbmatthews]

Thanks! I've been pampering it to combat the cold... I seem to be winning, at least! haha.

 I woke up at 1 #gradstudentlife. There are now 5 plumbers in my small apartment trying to find a mystery leak. Meh. 

NARS Isolde with some Marsala matte patted on the outer corners. 

NARS luminous-long-name sample in Mont Blanc. It's ok. It's not as full coverage as I thought it would be, all of my freckles are still there. I can get the same coverage from a lighter formula.

Nars Chantilly concealer

Maybelline Rebel Bloom lipstick in Coral Burst

Lancome Hypnose mascara

Naked Basics 2 for contour

The coral blush in the pin up palette

Ambient light palette

I opened up my valentine's gift and inside one of the boxes WAS A SEAL ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I'm trying to decide on a coral Audacious. Stuck between Natalie, Juliette, or Catherine. Any recommendations?

[notcreative]

Your Valentine's gift is almost as adorable as you are.  It was so nice of you to send Valentine's out.  It was sweet.  You look very beautiful, and I hope you had an awesome day.

[ShannonAlexis]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a very nice day indeed.

That Rebel Bloom lipstick is just gorgeous on you! It is so fully of vivacity and has a spring-like vibe, which brightens your entire face in the most beautiful manner! I'm loving your subtle yet effective definition of your eyes with neutrals too, and that natural-looking flush in your cheeks! You look stunning! Even with a seal on your shoulder! 😉 

[jemly]

shannonalexis, get juliette !! i have it and we have pretty have similar coloring. its bright enough to have 'oomph' but just muted enough to also be a sort of 'everyday' color. in swatches juliette and natalie look very similar, but i think juliette just slightly runs truer coral...

[kbmatthews]

Pretty lippy!! I LOVE Juliette. It's more of a balanced pinky-coral of your picks.  Natalie is more flamingo pink, and Catherine leans more orange than coral. But I think Natalie or Juliette would look fantastic on you.

[ShannonAlexis]

Thank you! I'm leaning toward Juliette, I think. I really love this lipstick color but want it in a nicer formula. The Maybelline is a bit patchy, but then that could just be my winter lips. 

[Blackwhiskey]

Oh that seal is so adorable!!! ^_^ 

I'm going to put my vote in for Catherine. l:)
