Sleek PPQ Me, Myself and Eye Look #1

Hello Everyone,

I got Sleek's Me, Myself, and Eye palette and while back. Well... actually I got it the second it was released, because I'm suck a Sleek palettes junkie, but that's besides the point right? Then I did some looks, then I disappeared into the schoolwork hell for a month, and didn't take pictures of all those looks. But since my schoolwork is not too bad right now, and I got my blogging mojo back, I'm here to rectify!

This look is over a month old, and since it was my first time using the palette I haven't figured out which shades I like yet. Although... I'm pretty spot on :)



I'm pretty disappointed with the Chris de Burgundy shade. It might look pretty pigmented in the pictures, but let me tell you it took a LOT to get there! I don't know if it's just my palette, but this shade is just so hard to use! It's like it doesn't want to be used :( Such a shame too, because it had the potential of being my favorite.



 Supernova on the lid, Pink Beret on the inner corner, and Chris de Burgundy as a statement. One of Collection 2000 Cream Puffs on my lips. At that time I still held hope that I will like them. Alas, the hope is now gone.







I didn't know at the time, but Supernova and Pink Beret will end up being my favorites. In fact, I've been using this palette for a week straight and I am yet to touch any other shades! Of course, I don't have any photos but I think I will recreate the looks. I even had random people comment on them. which is pretty cool.

Do you have this palette? If yes, what's your favorite shade?

FOTD with GOSH Long Lasting Eyeliner Pen in Black

Hello Everyone,

Today I have my last eyeliner look for you because I got bored with them. I need to get me more liquid eyeliners to choose from, right now I have 6 to choose from but I think we all can agree that it's not enough! I used GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pen in black and Collection 2000 Glam Metallics in Fierce as an accent.




I think this is pretty safe look, nothing like in-your-face red and blue.








I'm pretty happy with the way liner came out too. :)



 What do you think? Would you like to see more eyeliner looks once I get the inspiration back? :)

FOTD with Collection 2000 Glam Metallics in Groupie and UD Liquid Liner in Gash

Hello Ladies,

I'm back again with another eyeliner look, this time with  Collection 2000 Glam Metallics in Groupie and UD Liquid Liner in Gash. I love this color combination, in as many different shades of red and blue as I can get. I think I can safely say that this is my favorite color combo, I wear it in makeup all the time,  have some handbags like that and even looking to get shoes in that combination (yup, looking at you Irregular Choice).



Yup, my eyeliner matches my t-shirt. That was totally done accidentally on purpose! :)


It looks much better when eyes are open, but when I close them I can see all the imperfections (in photos of course). Really, I shouldn't apply makeup without having enough of coffee in the morning. I could feel my temper rising because it wasn't working out the way I wanted lol, and usually I'm a lot more easygoing when something doesn't work out. UNLESS I haven't had enough coffee of course.






Still, I really like the color combo, and since it looked pretty nice when my eyes were open I eventually got over how eyeliner looked on closed eyes.







What do you think? I hope I inspire some of you to play with your liquid eyeliners. :) If you do, make sure to let me know because I would like to see!

EOTD with Collectin 2000 Glam Metalics Coloured Liquid Eyeliner in Fierce

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a look for you done with  Collectin 2000 Glam Metalics Coloured Liquid Eyeliner in Fierce, with accent done in my faithful Urban Decay eyeliner in Gash. Please excuse the photos, I only noticed that I had a mascara smear after I took photos but I couldn't be bothered to re-take all the photos. And I promise you, I didn't go out that way!

Oh concealers, how I hate you!
After I did this look, I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was totally inspired by Queen Amidala's from Star Wars makeup. Now I'm not a Star Wars fan, I haven't watched them, don't have any desire to watch them, but seeing her makeup might have stuck in my mind. I do love the red/gold combination on any day. :)





What do you think?

FOTD with My Darling Naked Palette

Hello Ladies,

I love UD Naked Palette so much that sometimes it is hard to go back to the bright world of colors. And yet I succumb to its charms day after day, without even missing my darling Sleek palettes. Today is no exception. 


 I'm a little unhappy with my lips, but I think it is because of the flash. In real life the lip liner wasn't as visible. Maybe it is really ok, and I'm just making a fuss over nothing but I really don't like the look of lip liner being different from lipstick (even if they are in similar colors).






 I think this eyebrow shade looks much better than here (I used the lightest one) but I am still not entirely happy with it.  I don't know why really, since it's not like I am a natural redhead anyways... I think I want the shade to be in between NYX brow powder and this... but if I mix them together, it would be too dark.


Face:


  • Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer.
  • Covergirl NatureLuze Foundation in 310 Flax.
  • Maybelline FitMe Concealer in 15 Fair.
  • Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in Transparent.
  • GOSH Brow Kit - used Light because I'm trying all the colors.
  • Collection 2000 Shimmer & Shade as blush.
Eyes:
  • URBAN DECAY Primer Potion in Eden.
  • UD Naked Palette - used Sin on the brow bone, Sidecar on the lid and Hustle on the crease.
  • Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara in Black.
Lips:
  • Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipstick in Berry Sorbet.

What do you think? Are you as obsessed with Naked Palette as I am?

Silent Treatment FOTD

Hello Ladies, 


For the past few days I've been in love with Wet n Wild Silent Treatment ColorIcon palette, and here is FOTD using it. I have to say something about photos, since they look different to my usual photos. My husband took these, outside using no flash. So although the colors don't look quite so bright, I think this is a pretty good representation of how it looks in 'real  life'. 


Face:
  • Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer.
  • Covergirl NatureLuze Foundation in 310 Flax.
  • Maybelline FitMe Concealer in 15 Fair.
  • Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in Transparent.
  • GOSH Brow Kit - used Medium because I'm trying all the colors.
  • Collection 2000 Shimmer & Shade as blush.
Eyes:
  • URBAN DECAY Primer Potion in Eden.
  • Wet n Wild ColorIcon palette Silent Treatment.
  • Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara in Black.
Lips: 

  • Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipstick in Sweet Ginger.
  •  

    I'm in a serious need of hair cut and new color. For some reason my hairdresser is refusing to cut my hair as short as I want, I think I need a new hairdresser lol.


    I actually followed the instruction on palette (for once) and used all 3 colors as instructed. My eyebrows are too dark, but that's because I'm trying out different colors from GOSH Brow Kit.



    I didn't wear any eyeliner but I rather like the look because it is not my usual style. :)



    What do you think?  Have you tried any of the Wet n Wild ColorIcon palettes?
