MAC Sky Eyeshadow from Heavenly Creatures

I always think nof the MAC Mineralize products as little works of art. They way the swirl all together and nowhere  is that more apparent than in the eye shades. While I am generally not a big fan of blue shadow on me, I still can't help but love  the blue , gold and turquoise Sky .

Like most Mineralize shadows it has good pigment and applies mostly turquoise with golden bits on eyes but you can swirl on cobalt from the edges.

Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait in Troublant -Fall 2012

Chanel's fall collection like most they do is chock full of pretty prospects.  I have a  few favorites  and at the top of the list is the Rouge Allure Extrait De Gloss in Troublant. Part of this is no doubt my love for the formula of the Rouge Extraits. I think they're are one of the best lip formulas.  They have full coverage and shine , are thicker than most glosses , but not heavy, and they last long on the lips. I only have one other of these and I horde it.

I wasn't sure at first that Troublant would work on me, but once it was on , I was sold.  It's billed as a rose-brown and that almost covers it. It's a little more plummy than rose I think, which is why I can wear it.  I do think that it will be a shade that will look good on almost anyone  and so nice for fall.  A great complement to lots of mascara, a polished pony or updo and  a camel coat.

Troublant does have  shimmer but nothing overwhelming if you're not a shimmer fan.
