TheMoQueen: March Favorite Things

Hello Honey Darling Dears!

This month is all about some of my favorite eye makeup.

Mascara:

Origins Underwear for Lashes $17 + Fringe Benefits Mascara in Black $17

I have been using this for about 15 years. It is hands down the BEST for length, volume and growth. I get compliments all the time on how long, full and healthy my lashes are. This is the reason!

I do one eye at a time, start with the Underwear for Lashes. This puts on a base layer for the mascara to stick to. Then I put on the mascara. Do not rush! Take your time to really get in there and get all your lashes. I do top and bottom of each lash.

Eye Shadow Pallet:

Urban Decay Naked 2 $54

This is the best quality eye shadows. They can all be used together or on their own. It is a mix of matte (not shiny) and soft shine. I use this everyday, so even thought the cost is a bit up there, if you can control your urges to buy other stuff once you have this, it is a great value.

Sparkle Shadow:

Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish in Dusty Rose $32

This is crazy cool! It can be worn alone or over other eye makeup to create a beautiful foil finish. The directions from Sephora:
Suggested Usage:
-Add two drops of eye primer to mixing tray.
-Add a small dab of Magnificent Metals to mixing tray.
-Swirl primer and shadow together.
-Use the tip of your finger to gently press mixture onto center of lid.
-For a bold, high-metallic finish, build intensity with additional layers.

I just put a dab of the eye primer directly onto my brush (a little goes a long way here) and then put the brush into the shadow and apply to my eye. You do what works for you.

Concealer:
Soap and Glory Trick and Treatment

I am so thankful the day I found this on sale at Sephora. This not only treats your under eye area, it has a high pigment "trick" that reflects light so your circles look like they are gone. I use this everyday.

Here are all of these items used together:
