Crazy for Taupes: Different Taupe Eye Shadows from different brands

What color is Taupe exactly?  Taupe is described as a moderate to dark brownish grey color or a grayish brown color.  These two descriptions are completely different but still are similar.  The first has a more brown tone to it while the other description has a more gray to it.

Taupe is a very easy to use and versatile, it could be a simple neutral look and it could be a sexy vampy look too.

Here are the different shades of taupes that I have....never knew I had so much of  it :)

This Elizabeth Arden Slate shadow looks almost gray but when applied you can see the brown tint to it.  It is very pigmented and blends easily.

The Satin Taupe is one of MAC's popular eye shadow shade.  It is part of it's permanent collection. It is also very similar to Elizabeth Arden's Slate, just a bit lighter when swatched.

Favorites for the month of June

This month I have been reaching for these products the most.

I have been loving Benefit's One Hot Minute to give me a bronze-y glow on my cheeks.  Whenever I use this I can forgo using a blush

Lately I have been obsessed with magenta/purple blush.  Recently I found this when I went to Rockwell to have lunch with my cousins.  It is MAC's Coygirl Blush

Whenever I would fill in my eye brows I would gravitate towards using the gray more than the dark brown.  Most probably because my hair is a very dark brown, almost black and a brown looks fake (in my opinion).  So I decided to buy MAC's Copperplate eye shadow
