Movie Night

My husband and I probably go to the movies once a year, so when we do go I like to, y'know, look nice and stuff.  Not as fancy as when we go to the opera, mind you, but nice.  We went to see Guardians of the Galaxy, which was really fun and quite good.  I'm not sure I've ever mentioned it, but we are regular watchers of pro-wrestling, so we wanted to see Batista (Dave Bautista, who played Drax the Destroyer) do some acting.  Plus, the film is based on a Marvel comic, and my husband has several of the Guardians of the Galaxy comics in his collection.

This is mostly a beauty blog, so here are the pics of my face wearing makeup:

Eyes:  From the Too Faced Pretty Rebel Palette --
                    Instigator (antique metallic gold) all over the moving lid
                    Gangsta (shimmery chocolate brown) in the crease
                    Miss Sparkles (glittery black) in the outer corner and lower lashline
                    Dainty (matte cream) under the brow and in the inner corner

I attempted to take photos of the dress (from Target last year) I was wearing, but did a fairly poor job. I'm not sure why I didn't just get my husband to take one of me...

It has some cool patterns.

Yes, this is my bosom.  Ahem.

I wore some metallic gold wedges, which I believe are also from Target.

We had a great time, and really enjoyed the film.  It was quite funny, but it also had a poignant moment where I started crying and had to get out some Kleenex.  I would totally recommend going and seeing Guardians of the Galaxy!

Okay, my hair is a little unruly.  In the summer I put some leave-in conditioner in it and just let it do it's thing.

What's the most recent film you've seen in the theater?

Fall Favorites: Blushes

These are the blushes I plan to wear often this fall.  I tend to go for deeper, cooler blushes come fall, although I love coral too much to put my coral cheek and lip colors away completely!  I also think spicy, browny blushes are beautiful for autumn, but I'm not sure they are the most flattering colors on me.

Josie Maran Cheek Gelée in Poppy Paradise:  cool pink that gives a natural flush of color

Milani Powder Blush in Flora Passion:  matte warm pink

Cargo Blush in Mendocino:  pinky berry with some gold shimmer

Tarte Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride:  sheer plum that doesn't have shimmer (The photo makes it look like it does, but that is the gel texture of the cheek stain.)

NYX Powder Blush in Desert Rose:  cool hot pink--a light hand is required with this one

Do you switch up your blush colors depending on the season?
