Here’s a look back at some of the makeup posts you may have missed so far this year, in reverse chronological order:
Volumelip: a lipgloss to rave about
The title says it all! Annabelle put out a new gloss this year, and I’m absolutely in love with it. Cherryoké, a sheer-but-vivid red, is hands-down my current favourite my-lips-but-better shade.
A violet and turqouise EOTD
I haven’t done many fun eye looks recently, but this is another favourite. With or without the glitter-overlayed turquoise, I just loved the effect of this look!
Did you know beavers could be lustrous? Becasuse I totally didn’t.
I actually found two new lip products to love this year — this was the other! Green Beaver’s ingenious lip lustre looks amazing on its own or layered over something else. While this tube looks a little utilitarian, it’s effects are anything but. (Plus, it smells delish!)
Sticking to that ‘cone-free diet: silicone-free foundations
For those of you embarking on this silicone-free diet with me, how’s it going? This list of ‘cone-free foundations might be helpful for you, and we’re adding to it each and every time someone finds a new one!
As bright as it gets: Blue Hue EOTD
Well, I made myself a liar later in the year with the violet and turqoise EOTD, but I still love this one quite a bit. (Plus, it’s a heck of a lot more wearable!)
The Alice Palette
A friend of mine lent me her palette to photograph (brand new, the darling!) and photograph I did. If you click on the image below, not only will you see photos of the gorgeous packaging, there’s links to posts on the swatches and product photos as well! (Yes, I went a little overboard… and it was worth it!)
Tint me, darling: the first of many Etude House reviews
After a lovely reader sent over a package from Asia, I had the chance to try out some really intriguing products — including this Etude House stain! I actually still haven’t finished posting photos of all of the products (I know, I know… I’m months behind, as usual!) but perhaps they’ll all go up someday.
I love it when you surprise me like that
Violet blush. That’s all we have to say.
