Abyss inspired EOTD

Hey guys, I made an EOTD while watching TV and was inspired by the Blue hues under the sea. I therefore call this EOTD abyss. Here it is:

Gosh, there's some lash glue on the lash please don't mind that hehe

Here too! haha




What I used:

All color eye shadows from the 120 Palette :)
Prestige Total Intensity eye liner (Upper lashline, Lower and upper waterline)
L'Oreal HIP Color Chrome Eye liner (Blue on lower lash line)
ELF Powder Foundation in Beige (brow highlighter)
Youngblood Brow powder (brows)
MAC Falsies in lash 34

Anyway that's it, I just felt like playing around hehe. :)


Toodles! :)

FOTD mood :)

To liven up my mood, I decided to play around with make up for no reason. It has been a while since I did this so yes it did make me happy. :) I decided to play around with purples for this FOTD but ended up adding some blues and black. Here it is. :)

I found out that taking a picture in front of my lighted train case is god send since the light that comes from the train case is amazing. The pictures I took did not need any flash whatsoever. So I can say I now know where to take vanity pics of myself hehe. :)

A closer look at the eye make up:

For the eyes instead of using a black liner for the lower waterline, to open up my eyes more I used white liner instead. :)

What I Used:

Face:
RCMA CP Foundation
Ben Nye Banana Poudre
Graftobian Pro Powder Foundation for setting and contour
Nichido Peachy Glow Blush

Eyes:
Estee Lauder Palette Eye Shadow for the Purple and Blue
MAC Love Lace
MAC Carbon
MAC Liquid Liner
Prestige total intensity liner for upper waterline
White Eye Liner
Ardell Brow Gel
Fanny Serrano Brow Powder
MAC Browset Girlboy
Max Factor False Lash Effect

Since I had so much fun taking vain pictures of myself in front of my lighted train case, here's one for the road. hehe

Earth day FOTD

Since we just recently celebrated Earth day, I decided to use my Maybeline quad for this Earth day inspired FOTD. Since I have yet to test this eye shadow quad that the boyfriend gave me, I decided to use it especially because of the bright green and browns inviting me. Green and brown very earthly yes? hehehe All of the eye shadows on the maybeline quad are actually all frosts so I wanted to see how I could pull off the all frost eye shadow look. Since I'm not used to using all frosts this was my challenge hehe. So overall, here's the look.

Here's another pic:

A closer look at my eyes:

How I did the look:

(All eye shadows frosted)
3rd from left green for lids
2nd from left bronze for crease
Rightmost color maroon for outer V
Leftmost color beige for brow highlighter

Overall, I really like how the all frosted colors turned out. I don't know if it's just because of the color combination or it just really isn't that bad. hehe Also, I was pretty amazed at how the shadow looked after a while, I thought it would be really crazy shimmery since if you swatch each shadow you can see pigments of the glitter/shimmers to it, but once you put them on, it's not the scary glittery/shimmer you see from your swatch. :) I would give the Maybeline quad a 4.5 out of 5 just because I'm still not one hundred percent fan of being an all shimmer/frost eye shadow girl. Hehe

Here's one more picture of me and my Earth Day Face tribute. :)

New Discovery: Clinique Quick Eyes Cream Shadow

I'm not really a fan of cream eye shadows because of past experiences with having the eye shadow set in the crease of my eye. Then the product gets all clumpy and disgusting and you can just imagine the horror my whole "eye shadow" looked. But today I discovered a product that may very well change that perspective.

I've had this in my train case for a few months now untouched and never used. So today I decided to use it and test for the first time. This is Clinique's Quick Eyes Cream Shadow in shade Rock Violet.

What the Website Says:

"Have a beautiful eye day, all day. Light. Velvety cream glides on vibrant colour that wears up to 10 hours, stays beautifully crease proof and colour true. In pearly shades from subtle to high-lustre. Opthalmologist tested."

The one I have is in the shade Rock Violet; A muted silvery violet in shimmer finish.

Swatches:

With Flash
Without Flash

When I first swatched the product, the first thing that came to mind was how pigmented it was and how smooth it applied on my wrist. The subtle shimmery finish gave me the perfect Idea to create a soft neutral look which will be perfect for everyday or office make up and even bridal make up. Here's how I used the Clinique Quick Eyes Cream shadow.

I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion first then Rock Violet to the entire lid upto the crease line. It went on soo smooth and pigmented that I only needed 2 soft strokes. I was also happy that once applied it dries in a couple of seconds then it has a nice soft smooth satin feel! Love it.

Other products used:
28 Neutral Palette Mauve/Brown for crease
28 Neutral Palette Ash Pink for brow bone
Avon Gel Liner to line eyes
San San Blush
Lipstick from 32 Lip Palette

So what's the damage? This costs $15 according to the clinique website. Which is a little pricey when you think about it but I say it's definitely worth your buck. Here's just a couple of tips when using this product:

- Better to use an eye shadow primer before applying the cream shadow since you always wantt to have a smooth base. Cream shadow goes on better on smooth surfaces.

- This may get unsanitary if you continue to use the shadow with the wand applicator included. Best to use disposable wands or brushes in the next applications.

- This product can also be used as a primer and even as a highligher. :)

- If you make a mistake, use a Qtip with a little cleaner oil to erase any mistakes. Or, better yet, blend with regular shadow with a blending brush.


This product has really changed my outlook on cream shadows. I will definitely buy more colors of this. It is so easy and fast to use, very bright and eye flattering. Perfect for those 5 minute make up wonders for working people and whoever is on the go. This product is versatile as an eyeshadow, primer and even highlighter. I very recommend this product for everyone! :)

Greens EOTD

I did nothing today but sleep, watch TV read blogs and eat. So to break the cycle, I decided to do a bright EOTD. Color that I picked was none other than my favorite Greens. Green is my favorite color, and that includes all shades close to green hehe. So I didn't wonder why I ended up leaning towards the shades that I picked for this EOTD.

So here it is:

Right Click on images to view bigger

What I used:
MAC paintpot in Soft Ochre as base
120 Color Palette for all eyeshadows (see below)
Black Gel Liner
Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara
Dark Brown Eye Shadow for Eye Brow Filler


What I used in the 120 Palette:

Layer 1 of the 120 palette

1 - Base Color all over lids applied wet with Cinema Secrets moisture spray
2 - Inner corner of lids and lower lash line
3 - Middle Lid
4 - Outer corner of lid
5 - Outer Crease
I used a soft gold for browbone but it was in layer 2 and I forgot to take a pic :(


Here's me camwhoring:
Face:
Shiseido Balancing Foundation B80
MAC Studio Finish Concealer
Max Factor Translucent Powder
Flormar Terracotta Blush in #46
Pink/Mauve from 32 Lip Palette

I really love how the colors really pop out :) When I was applying each color it was really scary and strong. But eventually it started to mellow down once I started blending. In this EOTD i spent a good time on blending hehe. I used 2 different blending brushes. 1 was to apply shade number 5 and blend the outer corners while the other blending brush was used to apply the highlighter on the browbone and blend down to the crease color to soften. Nonetheless, I had fun doing this EOTD. :)

Toodles! :)

Sunny EOTD :)

I have been in bed the whole day reading, so to break the silence I decided to play around with my eye shadow palette from Turkey. Also, my mom had interrupted me when she came in my room and asked how the NARS foundation I gave her looked on her, and well the rest is history, she put on make up, washed her brushes and left them next to my drying brushes to dry themselves. hehe And you guys know how infectious make up gets right? hehe

Anyway here's my look using the Flormar Palette from Turkey:

Don't mind the uneven eye liner and the ungroomed brows hehe

Quick shot of me

Here's the FLormar Palette from Turkey that I used:Gold: Browbone
Orange: Inner lid
Purple: Crease
Teal Blue: Outer Crease
Green: Outer Lid

The swatches looked great on my fingers however they didn't serve justice on my lids. It looks a lot better in person, the camera flash washed a little out of the color but it's still not as bright as how the swatches were on my fingers. Maybe this needed a better base say the NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk (but i'd have to own one to find out haha). I used MAC fluidline in frostlite, which obviously was a bad idea. hehe I'll try recreating this look with a better base next time. But as for now, I'll get back to my book! :)

Have a great weekend girls! :)
