Lovin' LORAC!

LORAC Caribbean Crush ($30) palette is everything you need to look bronzed and beachy.

 

With three beautiful eyeshadows Island, Beachwood, and Dune paired with a beautiful blush in Coral Reef, a bronzer in Bikini Bronze, and a highlighter in White Sand a perfect look is just moments away. The White Sand highlighter is one of the best I have used, and love to sweep it on my brow bone and even dab a bit in the center of my lower lip over gloss. Gorgeous!

If you want to take the look to the next level, then you need to add LORAC Glam Rocks ($16).

 

Use Metallic Copper, a beautiful loose powdered coppery bronze shadow as an eyeliner, or dabbed into the inner coners of your eyes

The Yummiest of Fruit Smoothies!

Bare Escentuals newest eye shadow kit is this Blendable Eye Collection - Fruit Smoothie Glimpses.

BE's shadows are the most fun to play with. You can vary the intensity of each color by using them wet or dry, or blending them together, dry over wet, and mixing them up for a darker shade to use as an eye liner.

The shades in this Fruit Smoothie kit scream Summer, and are so pretty with any skin tone. The shades include a Banana Smoothie , a beautiful shimmering icy yellow; Ginger Peach Smoothie, the prettiest shimmering shade of peach; and Mango Smoothie Glimpse, a shimmering golden coral.

Fruit Smoothie Glimpses sell for $26 at Sephora.com.
