Friday Favorites

May 15, 2015

Hi everyone!  Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Favorites.  I’ve been digging through my makeup collection and rediscovering products that I used in the past.  Some I used a lot and others were barely touched.  This week’s favorites include some of the treasures that I want to talk about in my eyeshadow collection.  Some are palettes and others are singles.  Let me know if you’re loving any of these.

My Favorite Long Lost Eyeshadows

 

1. The Coastal Scents Beijing Palette is stunning!  It looks great on so many eye colors and works well with all skin tones.  It’s so versatile.  I can create so many different looks with this one palette.  Best of all, it only costs $10.95 for 12 different eyeshadow colors.

2. This Bobbi Brown Rose Gold shadow is probably one of my all time favorite single shadows.  My other favorite single is the 3. Bare Minerals Bare Skin is my favorite loose mineral shadow of all time.  It’s especially perfect for summer.   If you’ve followed along on my YouTube channel then you may recall both of these from years ago.  Funny how some things never change as far as what our “go to” looks are.  I get compliments every time I wear either one of these shadows.

4. If you love taupe colored eye shadow then you’ll love Corinthian from Le Metier de Beaute.  This shadow is a luxury item that was gifted to me by a friend several years ago.  It’s a beautiful taupe with a slight purple undertone.

5.  MAC Soft Brown, need I say more?!  I use this as a transition color almost every single day no matter what color eyeshadow I’m wearing.

6. The original Lorac Unzipped Palette has been a favorite of mine for a few years now too.  It’s such a good travel palette because it has options for so many different looks.  I actually did not purchase the new Lorac Unzipped Gold.  I just don’t love gold shades on my eyes.

Let me know what shadows you love and are old and/or new favorites of yours.

      I hear that the Crest Whitening strips are really good. I have veneers so I obviously don’t need to whiten. I hope that helps! Stacie xo

    Pretty excited about the Lorac “Unzipped” palette. I love nude eye shadows and am always on the prowl for blendable shades! (Not a huge fan of golds here, either.)

Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Somehow I think it felt a little extra special this year.♥️

This was year number 46 for my husband’s annual family reunion and golf tournament in Michigan. We’re already looking forward to next year.🥰
If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few d If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few days, I’m in Michigan for our annual family reunion. And I must say, the weather here has been in the 70’s during the day which makes me not miss the heat wave back at home in Texas one bit.

Running quick errands on a hot day calls for a loose fitting dress and comfortable sneakers.

Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already reaching for rich fall colors. 🍂

#ad One of my favorite ways to transition into fall is by layering lightweight pieces from @soft_surroundings that keep me comfortable on warm afternoons but are also perfect for when the temperatures start to cool down. It’s an easy way to ease into the next season.

These warm, earthy colors feel so timeless, and each piece can be mixed and matched with other wardrobe favorites.

Do you have a favorite fashion season?

It’s lightweight, flattering, easy to dress up or down, and perfect for everything from brunch to vacation to running errands. I truly think this is one of those wardrobe staples that works for women of all ages. Just switch up your shoes and accessories to make it your own!
