Warm & Cozy in January; featuring MAC Liquer and Gosh Mocha lippies for 50-Day Challenge

MAC's Warm & Cozy has some products that have caught my eye -- particularly the MSFs. This weekend, I took inspiration from what I've seen in the collection and used some of my existing products. I really liked the effect -- warm tones for a VERY cold January day in Toronto. The kids and the Husband were tobaganning on the tiny bump (definitely wouldn't call it a hill but it's enough of a slope for the kids) in our backyard while I took photos of myself indoors. Fun times indeed!

Here's the quick look I did before taking my daughter to swimming class:

FACE: Diorskin Nude foundation; MAC MSF in Cheeky Bronze (love this!); Vasanti blush in Andes; MSF Natural Medium Plus

EYES: Teddy liner by MAC; Casual Friday neutral palette by Pandora's Makeup Box, Dior Iconic mascara in black

LIPS: Mocha by Gosh; Liquer lipglass by MAC (see below) -- love this combo. I forgot I had Liquer in my collection. It gives such a nice sheen to the lips. The Gosh lippie is very much like the MAC Slimshines -- very moisturizing and sheer but not very long lasting. Mocha is very neutral nude beige colour.

I really like Cheeky Bronze MSF. It gives a pretty warm glow-from-within look I think.

Lipstick Rules said...: @Shifa: thanks lady! I always worry that they are overly shimmery but there are ones (including the new ones) that are not glitter bombs -- I think they add a nice glow on top of blush.; 12/1/10

Catherine said...: Very pretty look! I think this might be one of my favorite FOTDs from you so far! Cheeky Bronze really adds life to your complexion and Liquer looks so pretty from you - I think that might be the one thing I'd be most interested in from the collection if I do go get anything.; 12/1/10

Great FOTD (as I count the cheeks as part of this post too, lol)! ;)

witoxicity said...: I like this combination! Hmmm, it's strange though that Mocha looks much much darker on my lips! :) Is that the effect of Liquer?; 16/1/10
