Hi loves!
Today I have a really different combo. I don't usually rock the browns but today I was feeling adventurous. Also, today is the last day with this style of picture. My nub has grown out enough to go back to my straight on shot. I miss it and it really shows the detail of the designs better. Maybe I'll do a mix of both styles of photos who knows... Ugh I'm being so fickle about this lol. I think I'm just going to stick to my old style. A lot of you expressed your missing of the old style and I miss it too!!!
So for this simple look I did Two coats of Brownstone as my base and then I sponged the tips with Midtown Magic. The contrast is very subtle but the sparkle on the tips really made this a rich look.
Here is a swatch of Brownstone. This is such an odd color. It's Brown, it's Red... It's Maroon? It's a creme and it applies really well. I don't know how often I will wear this because Brown and I ... We just don't mesh well. I think this is one of the more interesting Browns released this Fall.
That is it for today :). Short and Sweet! Oh! Have you entered my giveaway yet?

I bought the whole CG Metro Collection(it was a packaged deal) and I wasn't too fond of Brownstone but it looks fab on you. Maybe I should give it a chance.

Great sponging combo. Folks seem to either love or really dislike Brownstone I have noticed in comments on line. had not thought of sponging these 2 together. Unique! Good one!
