Orange Dream


What I used:
-I started off with De Leon Cosmetics Eye Primer.
-I applied Helios to the crease and a bit on the outer lid.
-I padded just a tiny bit of Darling Girls' Glitter Glue on my lid and patted on Kenpachi all over the rest of the lid and up into the inner crease.
-In the inner corner I applied Starlight.
-Lastly mascara and I lined my lower waterline.
-On the lips is De Leon Cosmetics Lipstick Balm in I don't play well with others.

Yellow and Orange

This look is pretty similar to another look I did recently, but this is using a mixture of BRM and Inglot.




What I used:
-Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base + Kryolan Eye Shadow Base + Evil Shades Spectrum Pot in Nano Yellow
-BRM Mother Sunflower on the lid and a bit on the crease.
-Inglot AMC 51 on the outer corner + BRM Helios over the top of the Inglot shadow and blended a bit into the crease.
-Inglot Matte 355 to blend out the crease.
-Inglot AMC Shine 10 + Pearl 393 in the inner corner
-Lined my water line with UD's 24/7 Liner in Perversion and upper lash line with Maybelline Lash Stiletto Liquid eyeliner in black

Lips:
-Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in Fire


You can find Inglot here.

My thoughts so far on Inglot:
When I went to Vegas I went to the Inglot store at the Forum Shops in Ceaser's Palace. I wasn't very impressed with CS as no one acknowledged I was there (could have been since only one person and they were helping someone), I felt like walking out, but since I wanted to see what all the hype was about I decided to pick up a few things. I swatched some eyeshadows and they seemed very nicely pigmented. It seems they swatch nicely, but they don't always translate well onto the eye. I found that you have to be really careful when picking up the product with a brush if not you will end up with it everywhere. I picked out 10 eyeshadows and three of their gel eyeliners. When I finally opened up my goodies one of the gel liners was dry and unusable (I have a weird thing about dealing with people over the phone so I didn't call customer service to find a solution so that is my fault) and the eyeshadows..I am not all that impressed. I ended up placing an online order (crazy yes, but I have them in a Z-palette and I'm weird about things not being complete). I got a confirmation email, but I never received a shipping notice. The eyeshadows arrived in a plain bubble mailer with the eyeshadows rubber banned together and with an invoice. I have not tested them all out, but I suppose I should have stuck with my gut feeling about this one. I just don't get all the hype. My favorite so far is Matte 355 out of the 18 shadows I have. Those are just my initial thoughts so far. I will post swatches of the colors I got in a later post.

What are your thoughts on Inglot?

Orange, Yellow and Pinks!

Here are a few looks I have done in the past week. I have been on an orange, pinks and yellow kick. Please excuse my unruly brows and mascara smudges.

-Sponge in the inner corner, Mother Sunflower first half of the lid, Helios in the outer half and Tik-Tok in the crease.

Second Look:

EOTD: Scarfish!

Another quick look this time using orange, yellow and red. Please ignore the horrible breakouts. Not the best pictures, but they were the best out of the bunch.




What I used:
-Evil Shades primer in Naked
-Scarfish (unreleased color) on the inner half of lid pulled up into crease
-Haemoglobin on the outer half of lid pulled just to the crease (more vibrant in person)
-Helios just a bit to blend out the crease
-Icarus in the inner corner
-UD 24/7 liner in Perversion in the water line and lower lid

Oh and there is my mug! Again excuse the horrible skin.


Just for fun...Whitey and I had a little photo shoot session in the bathroom. Oh the horrible yellow lighting in there! =D
