Steel Blue

For this look, I used matte black shadow all over and winged out in the outer corner, with some Steel Blue on top and a little bit of teal and mint in the crease:

I'm turning 30 next thursday and am going to Paris over the weekend, so I'll probably be back to posting in 2 weeks time (:

Iridescence

Recently, while cleaning up my Pure Luxe collection, I came across "Enchanted" and knew instantly that I would have to do a look with it again! It's a fabulous colour and I haven't used it for so long... So I decided to do something all with duochromes and iridescent colours: I applied PL Enchanted in the middle of the lid and framed it with Barry M. Aqua Gold. Then I defined the inner crease with Chartreuse and the outer corner with Orchid and All Girl:






Please excuse the fact that the lashes are all crooked - I only realised they had completely lost their shape when they were already sticking to my lids :S

I also wanted to share a picture of my new necklace with you! I bought it on Etsy from Chic Baby Rose and I ♥ it! It's a pink cupcake and a silver crown with rhinestones:

A Night at the Opera

This look is perfect for a night out! A mixture of baroque, victorian, princess and fantasy style, the basic ingredients are quite simple: lots and lots of lashes and pink sparkle eyeshadow! I have never used lower lashes before, and next time I will probably glue them on closer to my real lashline. Gotta learn trying (:

For the look, all you have to do is prime your eyelids, apply Barry M. Fine Glitter Dust #7 all over your lid (preferably wet with a flat synthetic brush) and blend upwards with a bit of matte pink eyeshadow. Use ample black liner on the lower lid as well as white kohl on the lower waterline and below the lashline. Glue on falsies (Upper and Lower lashes by Red Cherry (bought from http://mscuppycakes.com/), add some mascara and you're done!












This look would be fabulous paired with this dress. It just arrived today and is sooo gorgeous! It was hand-tailored for me by the wonderful Priscilla Dawn. If you like cute dresses, definitely check her out! She's awesome and most of her dresses are real steals at less than $100!

Sea Myth

This look is quite simple: I applied MAC Sea Myth on the lid, MAC Fiction in the crease, Lustreleaf above and slightly below Fiction. Then I lined with Barry M. Dazzle Dust in #83 (light turquoise) on the upper and lower lid and glued on some Ardell half lashes (#305). Added white kohl on the waterline, black kohl beneath lower lashes, topped with some mascara and voilà!

Mermaid Eyes

I brought some of Barry M.'s Dazzle Dusts back from London, and tested them out for the first time on sunday - they're really amazing! Extremely pigmented, high-shine pigments that come in lovely colours! I used a silvery green/turquoise on my inner lid and to paint the spikes on my lower lid, then a very pigmented, deep bright teal with intense gold shimmer on my outer lid, and a vivid pink-coral in my crease. I also used MAC Solar White as a highlighter, and some Shu Uemura Lashes which I bought at the Shu store in London.

As a base for both my eyes and my face, I tried out a new limited edition product from german drugstore brand p2, and both are really good! While the staying power of the eye shadow base could be a bit stronger, it really brings out the colours and makes them more vibrant! The Face base is also very good, it softens the look of my pores and adds a very subtle glow to the skin.














Sorry - went a little too picture happy....
