EOTD: Bobbi Brown Bronze Tortoise Shell Eyeshadow Palette

Hello again!

I decided to use the top four colors from the palette for today's look.
For those who comment saying I have flawless skin...nah!

I applied Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner (here), MAC Prep & Prime under my foundation. The Pores No More is freaking awesome. Clinique has a version too that I used to use. It just fills in the pores (it doesn't clog your pores) so your makeup applies very evenly and smooth. It also helps with even out your skin with blemishes and all. I also enhanced the exposure and lightly airbrushed my blemishes with a few magical clicks.

I didn't put on any falsies because I couldn't find my Ardell Wispies! lol
It's been driving me nuts. Why am I such an unorganized person?
All makeup looks are better with long lashes or falsies..
It adds 10 beauty points in my book! jk, I like the look.

Photo without any editing or color enhancement. I think my face makeup routine with the Dr. Brandt Pore No More Pore Refiner really gives good photos. lol

*I don't have perfect skin (blemish bump on the right cheek today), and the people I know can vouch for that (go ahead and comment Goolia) lol! My sister and I have our good and bad skin weeks, and months. We both had acne during our mid teen years, but we both saw our family doctor and got that taken care of lol. I actually have several freckles on my nose, but you can't see them when I wear makeup. My Mom and sister both have freckles. They're Asians with freckles like Lucy Lui! I just do a good job hiding imperfections with beauty products (that's what they were created for right?). Good lighting is always #1 for taking great FOTD, or EOTD photos. An amazing camera helps a lot too (I used my Canon 60D). Make Up For Ever HD Powder also does an amazing job at making your skin photogenic. I hope that was helpful!*

I'm currently browsing through the Ulta newsletter/magazine and it looks like Benefit has a product called The POREfessional Pro Balm. Described as silky, translucent primer, Pores..now you see'em now you don't. Has anyone tried it?

Good makeup, good lighting, good camera = beauty blog heaven!

These shadows are all so metallic they just blend into one another without much added effort.
Minh and I got our eyebrows "did" yesterday. I bought a new threading membership for the eyebrows and lips. $65 for 6 visits in 6 months. Not bad. Minh, on the other hand did not purchase a membership. lol

Banana just blends into my skin, it's pretty much my skin color in an eyeshadow, a Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in fact.

You can see the Banana eyeshadow on the inner corner in the photo above. ^_^ Olive probably will look really pretty on it's own. The best (most pigmented) shadow of the 4 is definitely Bronze. The palette's name is also Bronze..no wonder it's good. lol Gotta live up to it's name, right?
Would I recommend this palette? Probably not since it's nothing unique apart from the packaging.

I am curious about Sand...but I'll google until I find a review on it. : )
