FOTD with Chanel, Smashbox, Missha and Clinique

I know I've been remiss with my posting lately. With the end of the school year looming, I've had all I could handle dealing with end-of-year paperwork, closing the kitchen, dealing with construction issues, etc. And that doesn't even begin to address the girls' activities, with Lanie's 8th Grade Formal, Field Days, and several awards ceremonies (so proud of my babies!!). However, hopefully with summer I'm going to have time to devote to the blog. I thought I'd get summer started off with a FOTD I did today with several products that will be featured in upcoming reviews. 

For today's look, I used the following: 

Face: Primed with HAVVN DNA System Activator and Day Cream (reviews coming soon), followed with Elta MD tinted sunscreen and Missha Cho Bo Yang BB Cream (reviewing soon). 

Eyes: From the new Smashbox "Shades of Fame" Eye Palette (reviewing soon), I used Praline, Mocha and Bliss shadows and Bronze Cream Eye Liner and Urban Decay liner in "Stash", then finished with Dior Diorshow Iconic mascara. 

Cheeks: Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Luminous Bronzing Powder #917, Sable Rose (reviewing soon). 

Lips: Clinique Chubby Stick #8, Graped Up (reviewing soon).  

I layered the Elta MD sunscreen under the Cho Bo Yang BB Cream, then dusted the Sable Rose bronzer across my cheeks and up to my temples. 

For my eyes, I used several colors because I was a little ADD this morning and couldn't decide what I wanted to do. 

First, I primed with Urban Decay Primer potion. I then applied several colors from Smashbox's new eye palette, Shades of Fame. I used Praline across the mobile lid, followed by Mocha in the crease and Bliss hear the brow. I lined my upper lids with the Bronze cream eye liner included in the palette, then used Urban Decay's Stash liner on my lower lash line. I finished it all with Dior's Diorshow Iconic mascara. 

For my lips, I took it easy and swiped on the Clinique Chubby Stick in Graped-Up.

For the record, my hair is usually worn down, but it's about a million degrees in Atlanta today, so up it went.

See? Easy-peasy summer look. Let the heat wave roll!
