Browse My Stash - bareMinerals Eyeshadows - Browns

Welcome back for Part 3 of my bareMinerals eyeshadow collection!

Today, you get to browse my stash of 
bareMinerals Eyeshadows - Browns

Favorite, Most Worn Colors:  Coffee Bean, Drama, Queen Tiffany, Snazzy, Tiger's Eye, Twig, Wearable Pecan Medium, You Can Never Be Too Rich Brown (see * color swatches below)

Individual Swatches 
(In Alphabetical Order)
 bareMinerals Eyeshadow - Camp 
Description:  Medium shimmery brown with slight peach undertones
 bareMinerals Eyecolor - Cleopatra 
Description:  Warm sparkly cinnamon
 bareMinerals Liner Shadow - Coffee Bean*
Description:  Matte dark espresso brown
How I wear it: Wet or dry, this is my favorite eye liner shade when I don't want to wear black.  It's dark enough to provide definition but doesn't look as harsh as black.
 bareMinerals Eyecolor - Cognac Diamond 
Description:  Medium warm brown with copper sparkle
 bareMinerals Liner Shadow - Downtown 
Description:  Shimmery medium taupe
 bareMinerals Glimmer - Drama* 
Description:  Cool-toned shimmery taupe with a slight purple undertone
How I wear it:  Great all-over-the-lid color or looks great blended in the outer corner and slightly into the crease with a lighter color on the lid such as Nude Beach or Grace.
 bareMinerals Glimmer - Queen Tiffany* 
Description:  Medium shimmery bronze
How I wear it: One of my all-time favorite colors and looks great with Queen Phyllis or Bare Skin!
 bareMinerals Eyecolor - Restore 
Description:  Dark, shimmery cool-toned brown
 bareMinerals Liner Shadow - Retro 
Description:  Matte blackest brown
 bareMinerals Liner Shadow - Root 
Description:  Medium khaki with subtle silver sparkle
 bareMinerals Liner Shadow - Smoky Diamond 
Description:  Dark, cool-toned brown with silver sparkle and purple undertones
 bareMinerals Liner Shadow - Smoky Quartz 
Description:  Matte, dark charcoal brown
 bareMinerals Eyecolor - Snazzy* 
Description:  Medium mauve brown with a pearl finish
How I wear it: Even though this isn't completely matte, I love this blended in the crease with Humor all over the lid.
 bareMinerals Liner Shadow - Tiger's Eye* 
Description:  Dark brown with a hint of silver sparkle
How I wear it: Wet or dry, this is another great liner shade alternative to black. There is a slight sparkle but that really doesn't show much when worn as a liner.
 bareMinerals Eyecolor - Twig* 
Description: Dark, shimmery, minky brown 
How I wear it: Really beautiful paired with peach and pink shades like Finesse and Heart.
 bareMinerals Eyeshadow - Wearable Chestnut Dark 
Description:  Dark matte rusty brown
 bareMinerals Eyeshadow - Wearable Pecan Medium* 
Description:  Matte medium terra-cotta
How I wear it: Honestly, I didn't wear this shade at all for the longest time.  Then suddenly, I tried using it lightly blended in the crease to warm up cool-tone eye looks and I fell in love!
bareMinerals Eyeshadow - You Can Never Be Too Rich Brown* 
Description:  Matte, wine/plum brown
How I wear it:  Blend into the outer "V" and pair with a shimmery peachy-pink shade on the lid like Finesse or Heart.

Since there are many similar colors, I also did a side-by-side color comparison to show the slight variations between the shades

Light to Medium Browns
 Medium to Dark Browns

Styling My Hair: Tips, Products and Video Tutorial

Image
Almost every time I'm out in public, someone comments or asks a question about my hair.  Many people think it looks hard to fix and are surprised when I tell them I style it myself!  I can't tell you how many times I've been in the aisle at the grocery store explaining how I fix it and what products I use.  Several people have suggested I do a hair tutorial so that is just what I've done!

Linked below is the video I posted on YouTube where I show you all the products and tools I use and exactly how I style my hair.   Since posting the video, I've had a few questions that I thought I'd answer here:

1. How often do you get your hair cut?
**Every 4-5 weeks
2. How often do you highlight your hair?
**Every 3 months (due to the way I style my hair, it disguises root growth very well)
3. How often do you wash your hair?
**Pretty much everyday.  It's so easy to fix that it's just easier for me to start from scratch rather than trying to fluff up my "bed head&…

Hair Diaries ~ My Hair Styles Through the Years

Image
My birthday is just around the corner and I can hardly believe that I'm really going to be that old!!  It seems like just yesterday I graduated from high school...but that was 20 years ago!  Yikes!

Not long ago, I was going through a bunch of pictures and I couldn't help but laugh at many of my hair styles and fashion choices throughout the years.  So, today I thought I would open myself up for public ridicule and share some of those pictures with you.  They say, "laughter is the best medicine", so consider this blog post your daily dose of medicine for the day :-)

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sharalee who loved wearing her hair in curls....
Even though she wanted her hair to grow really long (past her waist, if possible), she decided she wanted to have bangs like all her friends.  So her mom obliged and cut some bangs for her....
Curling irons and hot rollers used to take forever to heat so when she wanted super curly hair, she would sleep on those li…

Browse My Stash - NYX Lip Liners Review and Swatches

Image
Since I have become somewhat of a "collector" of makeup, I've been trying to figure out a way to have my collection benefit more people than just me :-)  So I came up with the idea of doing a series called "Browse My Stash".  I will focus each blog on a specific brand and/or product from that brand, share my thoughts on the product and then finish with swatches of all the colors that I own.  So whether you are shopping online or in a store that won't let you "try before you buy", perhaps this information will help make your decision easier.


Today, you'll be browsing my stash of NYX Lip Liners
There are two different types of lip liners that NYX sells: Retractable Lip Liners (pictured above on the left) *No sharpening needed *Advertised as "waterproof" and I'd say that's pretty accurate.  Once they set, it takes a lot of scrubbing to get them off. *Retail Price - $4.50 *Available in 19 colors *Favorite and Most Worn Color:  Natural (se…
