Rock & Republic has been selling their entire cosmetic line for 50% off for quite some time (not much is left). I picked up quite a few blushes and a lipgloss, but I wanted to try their Pressed Powder ($44). The color I bought is called Chenille, and like their blushes it's super soft and finely-milled. Rock & Republic is killing the competition in the blush area, but what about their pressed powders?

Here we go, UD Naked Palette look number three! This is the last smokey eye I'll do with this palette, because I want to show you guys some softer looks with the last two I have lined up. This look is dramatic -- but wearable. Depending on how "strict" your office environment is, you might be able to get away with wearing this to work. Before you continue, lemme apologize in advance for my skin situation. It's that time of month so my face is on some OTHER ish. It's actin' up ya'll :| ...

Here's a lip color that would look amazing on pretty much everyone. It's NYX Black Cherry round lipstick, and it costs around $4. It's a beautiful deep berry shade with hints of blue, but it's not too cool. Warm skin tones can definitely wear this. This lip would look extra seductive on med-to-dark skin tones, and vampy on lighter skin tones (which isn't a bad thing at all).

Ooooh the taboo subject of...*whispers*...facial hair!! Ok well maybe it's not "taboo", but it's one of those things most women aren't comfortable talking about -- understandably. I'm gonna attempt to break that ice for you all, because it is something that so many of us face and stress over quietly. Lots of women refuse to go out in public donning their 2 o'clock shadows in an effort to get it removed professionally. Well now you really don't have to.

I launched Accidental Beauty back in April of 2010 and so far it's been really fun meeting other makeup fiends, beauty enthusiasts and newbies who are just starting out and looking for tips and tricks. I seriously appreciate all of the love and support I've gotten so far, you guys mean the world to me. I hope to continue this blog for a very long time because it's my baby. I may not get to update every single day like I'd want to (work, life, etc.) but I try to put my all into each post because you guys deserve honesty. There is one problem I have though...I have sooo many things to talk about I sometimes don't even know where to begin!! So much makeup to go over, review, swatch, etc. So many tips and tricks to share. It's overwhelming, but in a good way.

Oh Chanel, how you make my heart pitter-patter with the stroke of your fabulous mascara...with the blackest formula I've ever used! I absolutely love and adore this mascara and need it in my life. I'm no mascara snob, I'll try just about any one from the cheapest drugstore mascara to the most high-end "price of my gas tank" mascara. Why? Because when it comes to makeup -- you're never satisfied and you always wanna keep trying different brands to compare them, test them out, etc. Chanel is one of my favorites, and not because it's "Chanel"...but because it really tickles my eyelash pickle.
