Lucky Dip 3!

Third time lucky? We’ll see! As per my last Lucky Dip posts, four indie eyeshadows, one loose glitter and one pencil were chosen at random and I had to create a look using only those products (and basics like mascara, brow pencil, primer, etc.)

Fyrinnae Shinigami, Daring Girl “Plush”, Aromaleigh Frutti di Bosco, Fyrinnae Danse Macabre, Fyrinnae Electric Stardust, LA Colors Turquoise

Fyrinnae-tastic! I was pretty darn chuffed with this selection to be honest! I didn’t think this would be too much of a challenge, although I’d have preferred to have pulled out something less similar to Shinigami to make it more difficult.

First I took the pencil in “Turquoise” as it’s pretty soft and used it as a base on my lid and lower lashline, blending out with my finger. I then went in with “Electric Stardust” on the inner corner of my lid and “Danse Macabre” on the outer half, going back in with “Electric Stardust” to blend the two together, and did the same under my eye. Then I mixed “Shinigami” with mixing medium and drew a shape through my crease, then a winged liner, connecting the two together. I then took “Frutti di Bosco” on a small brush and softly blended the liner in the crease so it looked less harsh. Then I patted “Plush” over the top of that area with my finger, using some Pixie Epoxy to help the glitter stick. Finally I went back in with “Turquoise” for a funky brow colour.

My favourite combination so far for sure!

The one and only...

A while ago, I won a lovely little giveaway from Annamax. I was really excited when I won because one of the goodies was Frutti di Bosco by Aromaleigh!





 Frutti di Bosco is a super-glittery 'grape' colour and I love it! Lovely pigmentation, applies like a dream! I sadly came into the indie make-up world too late to buy Aromaleigh and I always thought it was a shame as I know they have a place in the hearts of many beauty bloggers. (I also got two Aromaleigh glitters, Shakeitup and Spooky, from a blog sale Beauty's Bad Habit just had, so now I haz three Aromaleighs!)

A quick looks with it for good measure! If I look a bit ill, it's because I am. Whenever I'm sick and I have to go into work I always put on All The Makeup because I think if I look better, I feel better. Wrong.



Eyes:
Lid - Aromaleigh Frutti di Bosco
Crease: The two matte purples from Wet n' Wild Lust Paletee
Hightlight: Matte
Lower lashline: Lighter matte purple, Aromaleigh Frutti di Bosco

Cheeks:
Accessorize baked blusher in Pretty Pink

Lips:
Evil Shades Deviant Lipstick in Bane

Is there anything you really wish you'd bought when it was available?


P.S - How do you like the new blog look? I know some people hate white-on-dark, so please tell me if it's hard to read, or whatever.
