Pastel FOTD

Quick look using my Revolution eyeshadow palette.

Eyes Like Angels FOTD

Quick look I did using my new Revolution palettes.  I purposely didn't use NYX Milk as a base like I usually did as I wanted to test pigmentation of the eyeshadows on their own.  Both the eyeshadows and blushes were so pigmented and easy to work with, I'm super happy with my latest find!

Sad Keanu FOTD

I blotted Shiro's Sad Keanu intertube a bit as it can get a little messy when applied normally.  I really must start writing down product lists (or, even better, post the looks the day I do them!).  Time just seems to be getting away from me recently.

Neon green FOTD

I saw this look on Instagram and had to pull out my Sleek Acid palette!

Punch Punch Pork FOTD

I seem to have a thing for pink/purple and gold looks at the moment.  The only product I can remember using is Shiro's Punch Punch Pork eyeshadow.

Bright and sparkly FOTD

I felt like doing something with some colour today so I reached for the neons in my Sleek Acid palette.  And then I added glitter.  I patted a bit of Bobbi Brown Silver Lilac sparkle shadow over the pink and purple on my lid but the photos don't show it.  Apologies for the messy eyebrows.  They're in need of a trim!

Choosing my eyeshadow using a random number generator!

At times I feel totally uninspired as to what to do with my makeup.  To help keep the creative juices flowing I decided to number all of my eyeshadows and then use a random number generator to chose 3 eyeshadows that I then have to use in a look.  Today's random picks, Flamepoint, Smashing Pots, and the light pink from Sleek's Sunset palette, went really well together.  I decided to pat Cake on top of Flamepoint to tone it down a touch.  The look ended up looking like one I did a while back, but I'm still pretty happy with it.

It's all about the base FOTD

I picked up Laura Mercier's caviar stick in Jungle.  It's a really nice deep green.  I was a little dubious as to what the wear time would be like as MAC shade sticks don't last all that well on me.  I'm not sure whether it was the caviar stick or the Nars primer, but this didn't crease!

This look is a great example of how the right coloured base can totally change a duo-chrome shadow.  Angry Cuccos is usually very pale green, but Jungle really pulled out the pink in it.  This look looked totally different in different lighting situations, but I tried to capture the shadows at their most vibrant.  I Guess You're OK was an amazing teal colour in some lights.

I've also put a link to all my swatches in the top menu bar.

I used my new Shiro shadow, May The Forth Be With You.  It's definitely a Yoda green!  The purple liner wasn't quite opaque enough for my liking though.

Quick summery FOTD

I've got a super busy week ahead of me, and I'm not sure whether I'm going to have time to photograph my makeup in the morning before I head out, so this might be the last look I post for a few days.

Eden FOTD

It's been a while since I used Sleek's Garden of Eden palette, but the sun was shining and I felt like doing something more spring-themed.  I patted Illamasqua's pigment in Beguile over the middle of the lid to add a bit of sparkle, but it hasn't really shown up in the pictures.

Caligraphy FOTD

I've been seriously hating my skin recently.  That crater on my face?  Yeah, that was a black head.  Ewww.  Totally at a loss as to how to fix it though.

I picked up the Calligraphy palette a couple of years ago in the sale, and it's not one that I reach for often.  I think the blue liner makes this look way more interesting.

Teal and black liner FOTD

I do this look quite a lot, albeit with different shadows.  I switched things up a bit by using a teal liner as well as black.  I'm dreading taking this off though, as the teal liner stains like a bitch.  Not even Lancome's Bi-Facil will budge it.  Guess you can't fault it's staying power!

Sweetheart FOTD

Just a quick look I did yesterday.  It was nice to do something bold again.  I think my gel liner is coming to the end of it's life though, it's getting hard to draw a smooth line.  It's lasted longer than the Bobbi Brown gel liner I had before though.  That dried out super quick!  Think I'll probably be re-buying the Illamasqua liner.

Steve and the angry cuccos FOTD

Whilst Steve is from the Minecraft collection, and Angry Cuccos is from the Zelda collection, anybody who's ever built a house in Minecraft knows that there are some equally annoying chickens on there, so putting the two together seemed rather fitting!  Cake is quickly becoming my go to highlight colour.  I imagine it works quite well as a cheek highlight too, so will have to try that soon.

I tried to capture the glitter in Chanel Aragonite with my new camera.  It's just so pretty!
