OOTD: Winter Pastels

As it is still cold in my neck of the woods I dress in layers for this weather. This desert rat has a low tolerance for the cold I have found that out recently. It must be the fact that it is very warm for almost 90% of the year so I have never really thought about it.

However I cant help but browse through my Elle, Glamour, and InStyle subscriptions to become mesmerized by the beautiful pastels that are gracing the pages and editorial spreads.

This is a super casual outfit of the day look that is realistic of what I wear on any given day just add more layers at night I hope you like it.

FOTD: Face of the Day using Mac's Faux Lipstick

I recently picked up Faux which is a Satin finish lipstick from MAC. Most of my nude lipsticks are beige, orange hued, or very light to wear on a daily basis. I normally reserve the super nude lip for evening with a simple smokey eye or use it for daytime with a dramatic liner.

This was a very soft consistency lipstick and applied true to its color as I was worried the red of my lips would prevent it from showing so much. I used it after moisturizing my lips and decided to do a flawless makeup look to really showcase the lips. I am surprised that this brown hued lipstick showed up and blended very well for my skin tone. This will now be added to my arsenal of daily lipsticks. Hope you like the swatch I did and showed it on my lips so you can see how it looks on similar skin tone like mine.

Here is how it looked later on in the afternoon without reapplication.
