current make up preferences

So I'm kind of a humongous makeup junkie a.k.a. I have more make up than I could ever use and still continue to buy more -- but it's not about having just enough it's about having variety. These are just some of my current favourites - neither things I especially use every day nor particularly new purchases.

1. Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer in Sand

- because I've lost my tan and Fawn is far too dark for me. I gave the the Tinted Moisturizer a break but NYC's ridiculously dry weather is making my face look like a desert and this saves it a little.

2. Nars Multiple Duo in Copacabana & St Barts
- the perfect creamy highlighter / bronzer / contour / whatev combination. (available online only on narscosmetics.com)

3. Stila Convertible Colour in Poppy

- leaves the loveliest and prettiest flush without making me look like a giant tomato.

4. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk

- one of my friends has gotten me loving reddish colours on the eyes which also happen to perfectly fit autumn.

5. Nars single eyeshadow in Nepal

- one of my all time favourite neutral shimmery colours. (Also somehow crumbled a bit from being well-travelled). 

6. L'Oreal Colour Infallible in Iced Latte
- delightfully shimmery and seriously soft.

7. Custom Mac Quad: All That Glitters, Sable, Espresso, Carbon

- probably my most practical palette.

8. NYX Lip Pencil in Hot Red
- drying but is buildable and acts as a lovely base for everything.

9. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Raspberry Bite

- it looks almost burgundy in the tube but comes out as a lovely blue-based red, is perfectly creamy and leaves such a perfect stain.
10. Physicians Formula Eyeliner
- has amazing staying power.
11. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Brownish Black
- a recent purchase I thought I would try as it's something I constantly hear people raving about.

Instagram is by far my favourite social medium; it's so simple, easy, and instantaneous (hence the name), and it gives you such a gratifying insight into other people's lives.

Boston College last weekend: lots of wandering around aimlessly, cooler weather than expected but also a lot of sun.

Went to Long Island for the first time for a fieldtrip; there was a kind of amazing peacefullness you'd never find in NYC. It was a quiet afternoon ending with the most amazing perfect golden sunlight that made me wish I brought my film camera with me.
