Breeze of Avalon
My first use of Purely Cosmetics' infamous Diamond Perfect Finish Powder! I applied it both under my primer (mainly on the nose), and over my foundation as a finishing powder. It seems to be working properly to reduce the imperfection that is my great big hooter. I'll give it a few more tries before I buy the big jar, however! You can read more about this sparkly stuff and how it works here:

Also, I am really appreciating the subtle glow of Aromaleigh's Les Papillons collection. I do believe I will be purchasing a couple in full-size before they're pulled. Air & Light is a fabulous brow highlighter. I wasn't so pleased with Avalon, unfortunately. Maybe because it's too similar to my eye color?
Face -- Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer; YSL TOUCHE ÉCLAT; Bobbi Brown Corrector in Porcelain Bisque; Purely Cosmetics Diamond Perfect Finish Powder; MAC Prep + Prime; Aromaleigh Glissade Mineral Foundation in 00 Alabaster; Hi-Fi Cosmetics Concentrated Gel Blush
Eyes -- Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion; Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (seriously, if you haven't bought this yet and use heavily-spangled loose eye shadow, go do it NOW. I'll wait. OK then...); Aromaleigh Les Papillons Limited Edition Eye Collection in Air & Light (inner corner), Morphing Moon (outer corner & outer lower lashline), & Zephyr's Breeze (highlight in mid-lid); Aromaleigh Rocks! Sonic Eyeshadow in Avalon (outer 2/3); Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner in Graffiti (lower line); Maybelline waterproof Ultra Liner in black* (upper line); Diorshow mascara 090; MAC Brow Set in Sophisticated
Lips -- Urban Decay Lip Primer Potion; NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Vanilla Ice (I love this for a cool lip that's not too obvious); Lancome Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss in Touched By Light (maybe I should stop using these seeing they're about 4 years old, but I love them so)
*I do not recommend purchase of this product -- sadly, it's the only black liquid liner I own at the moment.
