I’m wearing the Aveda Foklor Collection on my eyes and lips
Well, someone was feeling creative when they named this collection. Why is “folklore” spelled like that (like “Foklor”)? I’d really like to know. It’s interesting, though, right?
So, I don’t know a lot about Aveda makeup, but I’ve used it a bit before, and one of the things I like about the line is their botanical ingredients (fun fact: I was a botany major for about 2 seconds). Like, their Petal Essence single Eye colors contain aromatic waxes from jasmine flowers and geranium leaves, and their Nourish-Mint lip products have organic mint.

Foklor is their fall/winter 2016 collection, and it’s so colorful! I don’t know why, but I expected more subdued colors, and these are punchier and more exciting than I thought (yay!).
The eyeshadows are my favorite things in the collection. There are four of them, and the greens, in particular, are absolutely stunning. The powders are a little frostier than I usually like, but I love how easy the pigments are to build and blend. I can get a dramatic look fairly quickly with them without having to layer too much.
On my eyes: Balsam, Dusted Sage, Chia and rose Quartz Eyeshadows; Gypsum Gold and Slate Shimmer eyeliners; on my lips: sheer Primrose Lipstick and Pink Lupine Lip Glaze

I’m all about these eyeliners, too, like Slate Shimmer, which is a gorgeous, dark and smoky bluish gray with tiny flecks of teal glitter. It’s very…almost NARS-y and really pretty.

The liners have a harder texture, so you might want to warm them up on the back of your hand first to get them nice and soft.

As for the lip products, there’s a super cute lipgloss called Pink Lupine, which makes me think of Connor (I call her the coywolf).
The Nourish-Mint Lip Colors, Lip Glaze, Lip shine and Lip liner taste and smell like mint, and I like it — which is unusual for me because I’m not a big mint person (it reminds me of toothpaste). but this is a very nice, very subtle mint.

Of the lip products, the Lip colors (lipsticks), which are kind of like pumped up lipbalms, are my favorites. They’re creamy, smooth, and I like how they sit on my lips. They don’t look heavy at all.
I’m really into the colors in this collection, and I feel inpsired to get to know Aveda better. I don’t know if you’re an Aveda fan, but their tea? They have this tea…
TAK DOBRÉ.
Sometimes I walk into their store just in the hopes that someone will offer me that tea.
I also like their color conditioner. It has a lovely herbal, grassy scent, and I always use it when I’m about halfway to my next color appointment because it darkens and enriches the chocolate highlights in my hair.
