FOTD: Lúthien

Now that it is starting to get colder in North California, I am beginning to miss the warmer weather and the beautiful flowers of spring and summer! I was reading the Song of Beren and Lúthien by J.R.R. Tolkien and it made me want to do something inspired by spring. I also wanted to do something more natural to reflect the beauty of nature~ Inspiration for makeup can really come from anywhere!

"When winter passed, she came again,
And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling.
He saw the elven-flowers spring
About her feet, and healed again
He longed by her to dance and sing
Upon the grass untroubling."

                                                                     Packaging and Colors                                                        

 Each cream eyeshadow is pakaged in a small, slim compact that comes with its own mirror! How convenient is that? 

Lockbearer: copper/bronze in a metallic finish. Inspired by Gimli, the lovable dwarf!

My Precious: an antique, metallic gold. Inspired by the One Ring. I love the name. Can't say it without thinking of Gollum's voice.."My preciouuuuus"~

Review: Pumpkin & Poppy 'Lady of Light' Cream Highlighter

Greetings from the Dark Side!

What is your stance on face highlighters? I can honestly say that I only started to use highlighters about a year ago. Before then, I did not understand what all the fuss about highlighting the face was. Then I discovered some amazing highlighters, in particular the Estee Lauder Modern Mercury highlighter that was highly raved about. After that, I was bombarded with an array of highlighters and it was hard to only pick one! I have acquired a few more highlighters since then, my most recent being the Pumpkin & Poppy 'Lady of Light' cream highlighter from the One Ring collection.  If you are interested in knowing more about this indie and vegan face illuminator, then stick around!
