Rimmel and Sugarpill

So here's the blue cat eye look:

I used Rimmel's glameyes in Posh Peacock.  It's alright, but I don't know that I'd buy any more of it.  It appears in the photograph that it's got a shimmer to it.  I didn't really notice this in person, but next time I use this shadow I'll specifically look for it.  The black eyeliner is elf.  I'm very happy with it.  It's inspired me to place an order for a bunch of stuff from the elf website.  The black eye shadow is Sugarpill's Stella again.

Sugarpill

I did this last weekend with some of my new Sugarpill products:

I used Sugarpill's Dollypop, Decora and Stella on my eyes.  I also used Dollypop and Decora on my cheeks.  I put some Dollypop on my lips over a lip pencil and under some gloss to try and make all my pinks the same color, but that didn't really completely work.  

The liquid eyeliner I used was horrible and required a lot of retouching.  I'm not sure what it is because the label's rubbed off, but it didn't go on well at all and kept getting on my lashes and clumping them up.  I later redid this look in blue and used the black elf eyeliner that came in the $3 pack with the silver eyeliner that I didn't like.  The black actually worked really well.  It worked so well that I decided I should give the silver another try.  I did, and still don't like it, but I've used the black a number of times now and am very pleased with it.

So here is the look I did with the pink eyebrows:

I had seen a tutorial in which a girl with dark brows like mine colored her brows pink.  I think she used a dark blond brow pencil and Sugarpill's dollypop.  I didn't have an appropriate pencil, so I just used some liquid foundation, figuring it would lighten my brows and give the eyeshadow something to stick to.  Then I covered my brows with dollypop.  I wasn't satisfied with the result, so I added some glitter gel (Hard Candy glitteratzi) and patted some of Sugarpill's decora on top of that.  In retrospect this may have been a mistake.  While decora is very sparkly and pretty, I don't think it gives a very opaque color.  Maybe it would have worked better to just have put more dollypop over the gel.  Either way, I still wasn't completely pleased, but I figured it was good enough and gave up on it.  As can be seen in the photo, my dark brows show through quite a bit and are surrounded by an edge of pink.  I wanted the brows themselves to be pink, and for the whole thing to be more homogeneous looking.

The eyeshadow is all TKB Trading micas: emerald which I put on first and then decided was too dark, gemtone green which I added over the lid and which I thought was very pretty, and forged gold which I blended into the inner and outer corners and which I also liked.

The blush is Sugarpill's dollypop and decora.  Decora is sparkly, but I didn't really notice any sparkles in the photos.  Maybe I just didn't put very much on though.

In other news, today I received my Obsessive Compulsive primary colors lip tar kit.  I made a big mess playing with the blue.  I took some pictures that hopefully don't look completely awful.  I also got a bunch of little 3 gram jars so I can combine the colors together.  I don't know if they'll dry out in there though.

Aromaleigh

This look is from the same day as the look in the last post:

For this look, I added big bang and ribbons, both by Aromaleigh.  I don't think it made a lot of difference.  Dionysus is slightly more purple, and big bang is slightly more gray, but I couldn't see much difference in the pictures.  Ribbons is a glitter, but since both shadows are already sparkly, I don't think adding it made a huge difference.  It may have been more sparkly in person, but that doesn't always come across in a still photo.  

The lipstick is Nat Robbins black orchid.  This time I used a lip liner - Rimmel 1000 kisses in wine.  I thought it looked better with the liner in person, but when I looked at the pictures I didn't think it really made much difference.

This is from a few weeks ago:

The eyeshadow is dionysus by Aromaleigh.  The lipstick is iced mocha by Revlon covered with some Maybelline lip polish.  I can't remember if I actually bought this lipstick or if it was a reject given to me by my mom.  Either way I'm not too thrilled with it.  Which probably means I'll start wearing it more because I don't care about using it up.

Sally Girl

Here's another look with my 99 cent Sally Girl eye shadows:

I used the blue and purple colors applied with water.  I am really happy with these.  I got five colors, and I'm eager to get the rest (five others maybe?).

This is from a few weeks ago:

My eyeshadow is extra-galactic from Aromaleigh's new Astronomical line - very pretty.  My lipstick is black orchid by Nat Robbins.  I've probably had this for 10 years - no idea where it came from - CVS maybe.  I'm pretty happy with it.  I had been more of a lipgloss person for a while, but now I'm starting to like lipstick and dark colors again.  My blush is a combination of Sugarpill's LOVE+ and poison plum.
