Sultry Blue Eyeshadow Look

Oooh La La! I did another photo shoot with my gorgeous cousin. Blue eyeshadow also works well with tanned skin. I used my inglot & urban decay eyeshadows.

Inner corner of the eyes: Ice blue colour #429 Inglot
Closest to the lash line: black eyeshadow blackout from urban decay
Lid: Dark Navy Blue colour #420 Inglot
Crease: #420 Inglot

Have a good Day!

More Vintage!

Went to Bowral NSW to photograph Tulips as it is Springtime in Australia.

This was my look for the day.

Playing with the vintage look, floral dress, tan oxfords, bright red lipstick!

I'm very impressed with this Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 635, Very Cherry. It's very long lasting, it doesn't dry out my lips and it smells good. Smells like vanilla and cherry.

What would you wear to a nice Spring Day Out? =)

Experimenting with Orange Eyeshadow

So! I bought most of the Maybelline Color tatoo cream eyeshadow. I'm still missing 2 colours. They have this Orange colour which looks fantastic. I wanted to create a spring ready look.

I ended up with this look:

Urban Decay Deluxe Palette

I got this for my birthday from my sister and Cameo. So excited to make a review about this. Aren't the colours just spectacular???

UD Deluxe Palette

Here is the Urban Decay 15th anniversary pallette just to compare the colours...

Swatches:

     Fishnet, Honey and Ransom

    Graffiti, Zero and Peace

 
     Shag, Scratch and Underground... I took these photos twice as I couldn't get a true image of the colours. So one is with more light. The 2 dots on top of Shag and Scratch are the inglot eyeshadows at are very close in colour to these.
Scratch is very close to inglot's #397
Shag is very close to inglot's #407.


    Picture of the pallet's cover:

Overall, the pigmentation is great. Normal UD standards. However, Zero is a bit patchy. I heart the colours in this pallet. I'm a big fan of Urban Decay.

Illamasqua Bronzer Duo Review

It's my birthday month! Yipee! gives me an excuse to splurge a little bit ;-) SO! I ventured to Myer in Sydney to the Ilamasqua counter. "Makeup for your alter ego" is their tag line.

I wanted was curious about Illamasqua, so I decided to try it out. Then I found these Bronzer Duo. I wanted see how a pearly finished bronzer would look during day time. I was a bit hesitant at first because I'm not exactly a fan of shimmery bronzers.

The packaging looks quite nice, however overtime, fingerprints appear. I'm not too bothered by this though. I like the shape of it too!

When I swatched these on my hand, it is not very pigmented. I had to swipe my fingers several times to get this colour out (see picture)

Illamasqua Bronzer Duo Swatches

 Glint is a very light subtle peach highlighter, very pretty. Somehow the powder formula is very intact that it's difficult to get a lot of product on your brush. Which is ok I suppose, you don't want too much product on your face. It is buildable. Burnish is bronze with peach undertones. Both appear really lovely on my cheeks, very fine... I was quite surprised at how natural it looks on. the bronzer doesn't look shimmery at all.

I'm comparing Burnish with this MAC Mineralize powder in Medium Deep. This is what I normally use for contouring. As you can see, the shimmer is not that much in comparison to a fully Matte powder.

I'm happy with this product! will re-purchase and recommend to my friends.
