New and a Classic?

I always get in an eyeshadow rut. Same base, same crease color, day after day. I was in our Bethesda store the other day and one of bluemercury’s makeup artist experts said, “Have you tried Trish McEvoy’s Rose Gold?” I hadn’t. She put it on me and I am hooked. A rose, coppery gold with a little shimmer – it is the perfect shadow to transition to spring. Warm, neutral and exciting, this is my daily shadow on top of my favorite base shadow of all time, Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Bone. I am definitely adding Rose Gold to my Trish Planner!

Nude, Nude Lip

Now I’m slightly sick and feverish. After 3 nights caring for sick kids, it was inevitable. Too much to do, so I headed to the office. I threw on a black cozy sweater, pearls, a leather skirt and suede boots and was feeling like no makeup today. So, I experimented with the nudist of nude lips. I started with Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in Baby, so creamy but sheer I can’t decide if it is a lipstick or a sheer gloss. (By the way, I have three of these at all times, one in my cosmetics drawers, one in my Trish planner and one in my purse!)


I then added a dab of Trish McEvoy Lip Gloss in Shimmery Pink* (found deep in my lip gloss bin) on the center of my upper and lower lip and pressed my lips together. The gentle shimmer in this catches a little sunlight and helps me look not so ill. Sometimes you need just a little lip to make it through the day!

*Trish McEvoy Lip Gloss in Shimmery Pink is not being made any more, but Trish McEvoy Flawless Lip Color in Seduction is a close substitute!
