Warm Mocha Eye

Sweet little moments

 WM

 
I’m pretty boring with my eye makeup. I stick to a variety of browns and an occasional grey. What can I say, I like neutrals!
I was in Sephora over the holidays and the eyeshadows caught my eye. My Mac shadow in Brun is running out, so I peeked through the display to see if I could find something similar. 
 
As I stook there I thought, “why on earth haven’t I browse through these shadows before?”
 
I purchased Dark Chocolate (matte), Pale Beige (matte), and Taupe Shimmer.
 
Also, if you buy 3 shadows from the Sephora Collection, you get a free palette case.

I did my usual routine of the taupe color all over my lid, the chocolate color near the outer corner, and the pale beige color on my brow bone. I finished with a swipe of, quite possibly, my new favorite eyeliner, Stila Smudge Stick waterproof eyeliner in Stingray

 

I’m traveling soon and love the ease of having these in a palette! I really like how they wear, and the color payoff is intense. I barely need to even press my brush in the chocolate brown shade to pick up a decent amount of shadow.

You made a lovely palette, I didn’t know you got a free palette case with the purchase of three shadows – that makes them a lot more tempting. Do these stay well through a 9 hour day? The color payoff in the first pic looks great but Sephora brand selections can be very hit or miss in terms of all-day wear in my experience.

Beautiful!!! Are you wearing your normal mascara?

Could you confirm the name of the pale beige? Is it actually #73 secret boudoir or the#85 coffee break that pops up when you click the pale beige link?

Not seeing the buy 3 shadows get a case deal you mentioned on the website. Some of the shadows are $5 but the most are $13. If the deal is still going on can you direct the link?

Would love to hear how they wear compared to MAC, in your opinion. I’m such a MAC snob so I hardly venture out…but these are obviously priced WAY better and they are very pretty 🙂

So pretty! See, I don’t think your makeup is boring at all. I have tried and tried to do my lids like yours but I think it comes down to shape. It just doesn’t work on me.
Those are really pretty colors.

Going to have to check these out. I loved the Stila eyeliner too but have found mine dries out too quickly, it seems, here in Colorado. I am curious, what red lipstick are you wearing in your blog profile photo on the right? Been looking for the perfect shade and trying out a few things. Loved a Nars one recently but it was so matte my lips were all dry and flaky the next AM.

Called a representative. Only certain colors (none of the ones you chose) are on sale for $5.00, but the case is free.

Bonnie says · 02.20.14

The Sephora site doesn’t mention free palette, and the eye shadows, including the Taupe you bought, are $13, not $5.

I love the neutrals too! Curious why you got the stingray shadow instead of say Graphite or Triggerfish — you usually lean toward gray eyeliner. 🙂

Calm down everyone! She was just letting you be aware of a killer deal on some of the eyeshadows! It wasn’t a sales pitch! Thanks for always sharing your wonderful beauty tips! I am an avid reader!

I purchased Dark Chocolate (matte), Pale Beige (matte), and Taupe Shimmer. (These shadows are currently $5!

Not sure how you read it but she said these shadows are currently $5, which is not true. I don’t think it is ruining anybody’s life she just needs to get her facts straight before she post something.

Went to Sephora yesterday and got my shadows! Tried them this morning and it’s perfect! I’m always looking for a neutral, but fun eye and this works. The dark mocha goes a long way, so just use a little. Thank you again for sharing your beauty secrets!

Question – Do you prefer the Stila smudge stick over the Urban Decay gel liner? I’ve been using the smudge stick, I like it but I’ve been thinking of mixing it up and trying the UD gel liner.

Taupe is actually a cool shade, not a warm shade.

Your blog is amazing! I got a haircut similar to your “clavicut” because my stylist wanted to play so I let her. One problem: She never taught me to style it. Your blog has made me a new woman. I ADORE the haircut and I used to be a girl with super long hair but never again! Thanks for saving my love for my hair! Also, this makeup palette is exactly what I was looking for! I am not a bright color gal, so I purchased these exact shades. Thanks always for the best advice and awesome ideas!

If you want to buy jewelry online, flexible shipping options and hassle-free returns are crucial. Jewelry websites should provide insured shipping options, including Saturday and next-day delivery. For added protection, many jewelers require a signature upon delivery. In regards to returns, most jewelers have a minimum 30-day return policy and allow exchanges on gift items.
