Affiliate Links

TOM FORD BEAUTY Fall Color Collection is a breathtakingly beautiful monochromatic collection that consists of perfectly paired pinks, plums, bronzes and peaches. The carefully edited collection features coordinated lips, eyes and cheeks that are punctuated by structured brows. 

According to TOM FORD BEAUTY,

In his Fall 2015 Color Collection, Tom Ford presents a new, modern way to wear monochromatic color by layering one shade - plum, peach, pink, or bronze - for an elegant and sculpted look. First, brows are shaped with two highly-pigmented, easily blendable shades in the Brow Sculpting Kit. Multipurpose Eye and Cheek Shadow creates dimension and depth around the eyes and sculpts the cheeks, while corresponding shades of Lip Color and Ultra Shine Lip Gloss are layered to enhance the monochrome effect. The result is a stunning new expression of the sensuous and symmetrical Tom Ford face.

In the Fall 2015 Color Collection, Tom Ford invents a modern way to wear monochromatic color by layering one shade of plum, peach, pink or bronze for an elegant and sculpted look. The multipurpose eye and cheek shadow creates dimension and depth on the eyes and sculpts cheeks with radiant, ombré color. 
TOM FORD Eye and Cheek Shadows are ultra-finely milled powders that glide across the skin effortlessly, and deposit color evenly. When used on the eyes, the Ombré effect is easily achieved by selecting the lighter and darker shades to highlight and contour with ease. Use the darker shade in the outer V or in the crease, and the lighter shade as a wash of color on the lid. For more drama, they can be blended for added drama. When used as a blush, simply sweep your brush across the pan allowing it to linger on the lighter or darker shades depending on your desired effect. 

According to TOM FORD Beauty,

Tom Ford Eye & Cheek Shadow is a multipurpose ombré powder that offers a visionary new way to add color to the face. The silky powder is infused with light-catching pearls to create depth and dimension to the eyes and sculpts cheeks with a radiant, ombré effect. It also includes a specially designed applicator.

Of the four shades, Pink Ombré, Plum Ombré and Peach Ombré boast the best pigmentation. Bronze Ombré, while gorgeous, is quite sheer.

TOM FORD Lip Colors and Ultra Shine Lip Glosses are, without question, among the very finest quality on the market. 

Tom Ford Lip Color really is the perfect lipstick formula. The formula offers rich pigmentation, long-lasting wear, and is very comfortable on the lips.

According to TOM FORD Beauty,

To Tom Ford, there is no more dramatic accessory than a perfect lip. It is the focus of the face and it has the power to define a woman's whole look. Each lip color is Tom Ford's modern ideal of an essential makeup shade. Rare and exotic ingredients, including soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil, create an ultra-creamy texture with an incredibly smooth application. Specially treated pigments are blended to deliver pure color with just the right balance of luminosity.

Tom Ford Ultra Shine Lip Gloss is a thick, non-stricky gloss with superior pigmentation and long wear-time. It is comfortable on the lips and provides outstanding shine.

According to TOM FORD Beauty,

Ultra Shine lip gloss by Tom Ford features a smooth, creamy texture designed to give you bold, glamorous lips. Wear it alone or layer it over another lip color for dimension.

For the Love of Beautiful Brows | RevitaLash, IT Cosmetics and Milani

For the Love of Beautiful Brows (Press Sample and Affiliate Links)
Eyebrows are undoubtedly among the most important facial features because of their ability to frame the face, enhance or create the illusion of facial symmetry, and offer an overall polished look. Eyebrows also serve the more practical function of protecting the eyes from dirt, sweat and debris. Furthermore, eyebrows are among the most expressive parts of the face and can easily indicate mood or one's state-of-mind by their slightest raising or furrowing. While these strategically placed strips of hair serve an important function, they are also valuable beauty assets, and as such they are worthy of some pampering.

When it comes to caring for my brows, I have a few favorite products that are well worth trying.
NOURISH & ENHANCE:
1) RevitaLash Cosmetics RevitaBrow AdvancedRevitaBrow® Advanced delivers a proprietary blend of scientifically-advanced peptides, revitalizing extracts and nutritive vitamins to help beautify and enhance the look of bold, defined brows. High impact technology, peptides and botanicals saturate the eyebrows with moisture, keeping them soft, luxurious, & healthy-looking.
RevitaLash RevitaBrow Advanced is one of my greatest discoveries because it does a truly amazing job conditioning, thickening. It leaves brows softer, fuller and more beautiful. It comes with a doe-foot applicator, like those found in many lip glosses, and it applies effortlessly. 

Ingredients: Water/Aqua/EAU, Disodium Phosphate, Glycerin, Biotin, Cellulose Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Phosphoric Acid, Dechloro Dihydroxy Difluoro Ethylcloprostenolamide, Butylene Glycol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Triticum Vulgare Protein, Pentylene Glycol, Swertia Japonica Extract, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Octapeptide-2.

2) IT Cosmetics Brow Power®The original phenomenon! This transforming, long-wear eyebrow pencil is infused with cutting-edge, brow-enhancing ingredients and adheres to skin to look like real hair! The oval shaped tip is perfect for both thin and thick brows, and helps you achieve a beautiful, natural-looking shape. This exclusive universal shade adjusts to every hair color, including grey. A complete brow lift instruction diagram is included with each pencil to ensure the look of full, natural-looking brows with every application!
IT Cosmetics Brow Power is my new Holy Grail eyebrow pencil for a number of reasons. First,   this is a very long-wearing eyebrow pencil because the consistency is waxy enough to really adhere to the skin effortlessly, but not so waxy as to be uncomfortable or too stiff. Second, the brilliant oval shaped tip makes it easy to draw in individual hairs that are thin or thick. Finally, it has the added convenience of a twist-up applicator (thank you) with a spoolie at the other end to brush the brows.

Ingredients: Hydrogenated Coco Glycerides, Serenoa Serrulata (Saw Palmetto) Fruit Extract (Saw Palmetto), Biotin (Vitamin H), Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Leaf Powder (Nettle), Iron Oxides (77492), Ceresin, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Lecithin, Pantothenic Acid, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape Seed) Extract, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla Cera) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Microcrystalline Wax, BHT, Retinyl Acetate (Vitamin A).
