EOTD: Earthen

I was in a hurry to get ready yesterday so I ended up using one main color. I took these pictures in the bathroom so they are not the best, but hopefully they aren't too horrible. Also I wanted to show off my Whimsy Beading custom piece that I got in the mail last week. I love it!!

What I used:
- I started with Evil Shades Evileyes primer in Naked, which is a holy grail product for me.
-I applied BRM Earthen to the lid and crease and blended.
-Then for a bit of dimension I applied a tiny amount of BRM Mother Sunflower to the outer crease to blend a bit and then a bit of BRM Dark Wing to the outer v, but it didn't show up in the pictures.
-Lastly I applied BRM Starlight to the inner corner.
-Oh and also applied UD 24/7 liner in Perversion in the water line and mascara (which i got all over my lid and didn't see it until i uploaded the pictures, so please excuse the mascara fail).
-On my lips I think it is MAC Prince Noir.







<3 Rosa

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.

First Look:

I forgot to take pictures when it was fresh. Sorry for the creasing, this is actually minimal creasing for me.

What I used:

-Bare Mineral Prime time eyelid primer + Evil Shades Naked primer + Evil Shades Spectrum Pot in Nano Yellow (btw the spectrum pots are awesome! Review coming soon)

Eye shadow inner corner to outer:

-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:

What I used:
-Bare Mineral Prime time eyelid primer + Evil Shades Naked primer + Evil Shades Spectrum Pot in Pink Prysm

Eye shadow from inner corner to outer:
-Sponge on the outermost inner corner, Gargle Blaster inner corner pulled up to meet Helios in the crease, Hello Kitten on the rest of the lid and Helios in the crease.

Third Look:

What I used:

-Bare Mineral Prime time eyelid primer + Evil Shades Naked primer + Evil Shades Spectrum Pot in Pink Prysm

-Doll Face on the lid

-Helios in the crease.

-Rapunzel in the inner pulled up to meet Helios.

Hope this inspires you to use some bright colors!! If you would like to do a guest EOTD please email me! blackroseminerals@gmail.com

-Rosa =D

EOTD: Blazing

I decided to play around with orange, yellow and red. I came up with this look. I only did one eye since I tend to do a better job on the right eye. Though my eye started watering and I think you can see it in the outer corner, but oh well. Oh and my lashes look boring I cannot get the curl to stay at all, I guess it has to do with my oily lids.

I used:
-Nars smudgeproof eye primer
-Bonehead under the brow pulled down into the crease
-Copperhead in the crease
-Rust in the outer corner blended into Copperhead
-Glass Heart on the lid
-Mother Sunflower in the inner corner pulled up a bit and on the lower lashline
-UD 24/7 liner in Perversion in the water line
