LOTD: Random look with Guerlain Extrait de Rose

By icyabstract · August 26, 2012 · 2 Comments ·

Hello all, hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

A simple and honestly not very fanciful LOTD but I thought I would snap some pics from this makeup get-up I did for a casual dinner out on Saturday.

Initially I wanted to keep with the close-to-nothing-on look and kept my eyeshadow minimal but along the way I decided to reach for a pop of color on the lips, work on a flush on the cheeks and well.. this was what I ended up with!

Products Used:

BROWS / FACE
K-Palette Liquid Brow Liner in 01
Maquillage Brow Wax in 77

LIPS
Guerlain Shine Automatique in 262 Extrait de Rose (sample tube)

Highlighted products were provided by companies/distributors,
I was not obliged to use/feature them in LOTDs.

For the lips, I decided to be adventurous and reach for this sample tube of Guerlain's Shine Automatique in Extrait de Rose (which I received as a gift with purchase with this haul).

Fuschia or colors that lean towards the pink spectrum is typically not my comfort zone but I was curious about how sparkly this looked and the formula sounds wonderful so... I gave it a shot.

Turns out it isn't as hot a fuschia pink as it appears (thankfully for me) and the formula feels wonderfully luscious on. It has a translucence to it along with a sparkly shine and with decent pigmentation, for this finish.

Here's a closeup shot I accidentally took. You know, when you forget to zoom out and think you're taking a full face shot but you're not?

I'm really liking the formula of the Shine Automatique and feel tempted to check out the other shades available. While I like this, I would totally fancy a red-toned one.

Thanks for reading!
