Currently Obsessed: Bordeaux
I know I've been slacking on the blogging front lately, and hopefully with the new year I will be more on schedule! I decided to start the new month by sharing some of my current obsessions, namely anything wine, burgundy, oxblood, or bordeaux. Every year at this time I love wearing this warm, sensuous shade as it makes me feel sexy while also evoking a wintery vibe.
Tom Ford Cream Eye Shadow in Illicit: This was a limited edition product that I actually passed on when it was released. Last month during some hurricane shopping I picked this up after seeing it on sethakins and he said it was still available on the Neiman Marcus website. The deep, burgundy shade has a gorgeous subtle shimmer and makes for the easiest one step eye. I wear this during the day and at night. You can easily apply a thin layer for a more subtle effect or build it up for added drama. If you ever spot this anywhere, buy it. If not, Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk is very similar.
Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadow in Cognac: A beautiful burgundy, brown shade with less red in it which makes it very wearable.
Le Metier de Beaute Radiance Powder Rouge in Rumor: The perfect winter flush.
Tom Ford Lip Gloss in Pink Guilt: I hate to do this but I need to take back anything negative I have ever said about Tom Ford glosses. No, they are not worth the money but this color is gorgeous. It is a deep pink with beautiful shimmer, and gives my lips just enough color that I can wear it alone. I am addicted to the vanilla scent of Tom Ford lip products.
Tom Ford Lipstick in Black Orchid: A classic vampy shade.
Essie Nail Polish in Wicked: My second bottle. My all time favorite vampy nail shade.
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Cologne: Obsessed is an understatement. I spray this on myself when I am alone at home just because I love the scent so much. I have had this about 2 weeks and have already made a sizeable dent. The smell is a heavenly blend of fruity, spicy and woodsy scents all in one. Utterly perfect for cool weather. Rather than copy I will link a description here. I see the larger size in my future.

For night time, I have been loving the dark eyes and dark lips trend. I pair the Tom Ford cream shadow with the Tom Ford Black Orchid lipstick. For a more subtle look I will wear the cream shadow with the gloss. Or the eyes and cheeks with a "my lips but better" lip. The possibilities are endless. I love that about makeup!
