FOTD / EOTD: Purple Berry Pie

Gosh I cannot wait to get a new camera. My current camera is not picking up these Urban Decay colors like they should be. The colors are so vibrant and I’ve got a transitioning going from one color to another on the lid and guess what…you can’t see it in the pictures!!! The flash, brightness that is going on with my camera today is making me look oily in the pics, but I’m not. Sucks!

Anyway, I call this one, “Purple Berry Pie“, because I couldn’t think up anything cool or sexy today. So here are the pics and the break down of all the products used to create this look.

Sephora Mini Nars Haulage

I’m going to keep this one short.  NARS baby!

I figured I was in need of more NARS and since I love NARS blushes I decided to pick one up.   I swung by Sephora in my favorite mall (Willowbrook Mall in Jersey) and decided on Taos.  Taos had been on my list for a long while after I got Love Joy so I went for it.  Taos reminds me of Love Joy, but it has a brick red color in it with flects of gold glitter which is what I love about NARS – I love the shimmer and the pow of their colors.  Both blushes are different, but remind me of each other.  I was happy I made the choice to get it because it is beautiful on me and it shows up very well.  Price: $25.00

I also picked up a NARS eyeshadow.  Yay!  It is my very first NARS eyeshadow and that’s because I am a MAC eyeshadow hoarder.  I had seen this shadow time and time again and have swatched it time and time again, but never bought into it.  I know people rave about this shadow a lot so I decided to get it.  This color is goregous.  It is a deep brown color with flect of gold glitter in it.  I wore it today and it came up on me so beautiful!!!  I paired it with Glamour Check! by MAC — GORGEOUS!  The eyeshadow I’m talking about is Galapagos! Price: $22.00

Swatches!!!

I am totally in love with my purchases.
