Gold, Olive and Brown Smokey Fall look with Morgana Minerals

I got up at my normal time (6:30 am) and instead of letting myself take the time to wake up fully, I did a makeup look while sipping...OK gulping down a HUGE cup of coffee. I don't think I look tired, but my eyelids tend to be puffy and weird for the first couple hours after waking up, so it was a little weird to apply makeup right away.

Also, I don't think I have ever said this before but Morgana Minerals has become my fav makeup brand. I think inside I've known it for a while but I've never posted about it. I just really love the eyeshadows, lipsticks and glitter so much! I find myself wanting to reach for my Morgana stash more than anything. I've also done more makeup looks in the past year with Morgana Minerals more than any other brand. It's like Morgana Minerals was made for ME! :-)  OK like a dork, I said Morgana Minerals too many times!
Does anyone have a particular brand they feel this way about? I would love to hear what is your all time fav and why.

So here's my look. I'm still not fully awake so I hope I describe the application correctly!

  3. Wow i need to try something like that out, never thought a could like golden look so much.

    Sadly, the brand i use most is MAC - not very cheap here in germany. -.-
    But it works well, i don't know why, but mineral eyeshadows crease and fall off my lids with any base combo i ever tried. :(

  21. Wow. You always look awesome, but I just have to say that with olive around your eyes you look just like you stepped off a movie set. You look like a fabulous movie star taking a photo break. It is a very flattering, very adult look for you, and it brings out your eyes in the best possible way. I must say that what I like most about your blog is seeing the bright color combinations, but I think this is the most flattering look I've seen you wear.
