***EDIT*** You can check out her Yahoo Forum here: Franchesca's Minerals, her site will be up hopefully in a few months, im excited!
I did a look using some of the mineral eyeshadows Franchesca sent me: Black Raspberry, Golden Beige, and Cool Grape. Thanks to Christiana for recommending her! She does not currently have a site right now but will soon! :)
I've been playing with a lot of makeup lately (well more than usual) because the BF hogs the TV so what else am I going to do!?? :)
I would have chosen a softer light pinkish lip, but I wanted to match my burgundy shirt!
What I used:
Face:
- Camellia Rose Skin Soothing Primer
- MAC StudioFinish Concealer NC30
- Silk Naturals Mineral Foundation (Buttery Gold)
Cheeks:
- Valerie Beauty "Coquette Blush"
- EDM "Waffle Cone"
Eyes:
- MAC "Painterly" PP all over lid
- Franchesca's "Golden Beige" all over the lid, more of it around highlight area
- Franchesca's "Cool Grape" on lower half of the lid above crease
- Franchesca's "Black Raspberry" on outer-V and contour (blend!)
- Nixie Eyeliner in Black
- L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara
Lips:
- A touch of NYX's "Pandora" lipstick dabbed on lips
- Layered with NYX "Gold Pink" Lipgloss over it

Cool Grape and Black Raspberry look so yummyyyyy... and gawd, that lip color is sooooooooo sexy. I WANT
That is absolutely beautiful - I love those colors together! Where can you order these products? You'll definitely have to post when she has a site. Thanks so much!!

yay! thanks love. I get soo sad when I don't get to see your posts esp. that you update 3 times a day haha. I think Flickr works cuz i was able to view your amazing photography skills. But yea, this whole beauty/makeup thing is apparently taking up his time reserve.
Definitely pretty, but I think that a less harsh lip color would've made this look wayyy more gorgeous.
Ohhh pretty! that's what i usually do when my boyfriend is hogging stuff...play with makeup! i think we all don't mind that you have more time to give us new looks. :)
BRITTNI- I thought so too but I was matching my shirt which was burgundy/purple... :)
