Happy Friday beauties! What a week it’s been! Both myself and my toddler have been fighting a cold and horrible cough so things have been pretty crazy around here. And I have to be honest, because of this I rarely wore any product this week. When I did have to get myself up & going, these are the products that were easy to use and had me out the door in no time.  It was all about simplicity this week!

Face Products

Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation (Light / Medium) – Retail $34 –  I did NOT want to put on liquid foundation or BB cream this week. It was too much work (haha!) So I reached for this new Cocoa Powder Foundation from Too Faced and I have to say, I am LIVING for this foundation! It provides just the right amount of coverage *and* smells like chocolate.  The consistency is so silky and finely milled and provides a gorgeous flawless finish. I have mine in the shade light  / medium and it’s the perfect shade for me! 
Too Faced Kabuki Brush – Retail $34 – In conjunction with the powder foundation, I decided to use this kabuki brush from Too Faced as well.  The “teddy bear hairs” make this brush incredibly soft and it worked so well with the foundation to buff it all over the face. 

Eye Products

Prestige Total Intensity Shadow in Spellbound – Retail Value $8 – Keeping with the simplicity theme, I used ONE eyeshadow this week and it was this champagne / pinky gold beauty from Prestige.  These shadows are intense with color and I’m pretty sure they can be used wet or dry.  I have a few other shades as well, but this one absolutely takes the cake.
Urban Decay Eyeliner in Darkside – Retail Value $16 – I don’t know why I haven’t been using this double ended pencil, but I am in LOVE with the shade Darkside. It’s a beautiful mauvy taupe satin and is the perfect Fall liner! 

Blush

MAC Breath Of Plum – Retail $22 – My favorite time of year when I bust out all of my beautiful MAC Fall blushes! Breath Of Plum is stunning on the cheeks and really warms up your complexion. Highly recommend this shade is you’re looking to add to your Fall makeup wardrobe! 

Lips



Lipstick Queen – Jungle Queen – Retail $22 – Lipstick Queen lipsticks do NOT get enough love! The formula is outstanding and they have an incredible color range.  Jungle Queen is a stunning poppy coral color that goes a tad bit sheer on the lips, so if you’re afraid of too much color I would recommend giving this a try! 
Lipstick Queen Vesuvius Lipstick in Fuchsia – Retail $24 – I’ve done a review on these awhile back, but these are incredible liquid lipsticks from Lipstick Queen. They have extreme color payoff and feel so comfortable on the lips.  These last for a good 6 hours on me and leave a really pretty stain once they wear off. 
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm – Retail $7.50 – When I’m sick, my lips get SO DRY. These Jack Black lip balms are incredible. They make my lips so smooth and hydrated and also contain a bit of SPF as well. I have mine in the scent Lemon & Chamomile. 
And that wraps up this weeks favorites! What were some products you were loving this week? And are there any product of mine you’re dying to try?

    Thank you for making me want to spend all da monies! LOL! I bought Nyx Merlot last week after you posted it and now I need Prestige Spellbound!

    Thanks for this review. My daughter wants makeup for her birthday next month and I have been trying to find something a little different. We have Mac products so I’ll have to check these out.

    hope y’all are feeling better! I love all the picks for your simple look. I, too, am loving plum blushes right now, even with my fair skin. The shimmery pink eye with plum liner and lip is my kinda look, too.
