Package of Awesome

Wendy sent me a stealth package of win and joy last week, so I thought I’d share it with y’all as she sent me some pretty freaking awesome stuff.  Swatch dump ahead!

Ulta Eyeshadows (clockwise from top left) Shamrock , Twilight, Golden Olive and Plum Noir.


L-R, Twlight, Shamrock, Plum Noir, Golden Olive on bare skin. I wore Twilight on the lid and smudged out black liner with Plum Noir this week – lovely. Twlight is a lovely metallic, slightly purply taupe and it’s gorgeous. I don’t have anything else like this.

Sinful Colours Call Me Later and Confetti Tasmanian Devil (Deborah Lipman ‘Happy BIrthday’ dupe… or close enough!) Two coats of the Sinful colours and three of the Confetti. The latter I ought to have put over a base of some description but I was too excited. I'm wearing it now as a gradient from the cuticle over a silver polish.

Wet and Wild goodness... Dancing in The Clouds and Ravin' Raisin.

GORGEOUS. I had to swatch these on a base… the browbone and crease colours do not need it and are SO buttery and smooth. The purple sadly has quite rubbish payoff. Wet and Wild should feel ashamed of themselves because this had the potential to be the most fucking awesome three-pan they’ve ever put out.



I’ve been lusting after this lipstick for a LONG time. Once again… I apologize for not exfoliating my lips. I reapplied this again, but it wasn’t as colour accurate so…. tough shit!

Hard Candy Glossaholic in Fireball, Ulta Extreme Wear Gel Eyeliner, ELF Radiance Enchanger, Jordanda  ‘LOL - Lipgloss Out Loud’ in ASAP.



Hard Candy ‘Fireball’ – ENLARGE FOR FLAKIES. Smell and tastes just like Rhubarb and Custard sweets. I’m in love with this. LOVE. Even though the applicator is enormous to the point of making me blush when I put it on.



Jordana LOL Gloss ‘ASAP.’ Sooooo sparkly! I'mma layer the crap out of this one. And it smells of watermelon sweets. Seriously though, ‘Lipgloss Out Loud’?! I don’t even…



L-R, ELF Radiance Enchancer, Ulta liner in Ink, Hard Candy Glossaholic in Fireball, Jordana LOL Gloss in ASAP, Wet and Wild Ravin’ Raisin. I’m really loving the ELF Radiance Enhancer… it’s the same colour as Benefit High Beam, but a much thicker, creamier texture so it’s much much easier to wear under or mix with foundation and have it actually make a difference.

Oh yeah, and one of my favourite sweeties, sour patch kids! There are tons of America supermarkets in London but I’ve had real trouble finding these. Needless to say these have all been eaten. Nom nom nom.

Oh, and this is Harold. Say hello, Harold.

*crickets.*

Bollocks to you, then, Harold.

I totally forgot to swatch/photograph a NYX lipliner in Pumpkin... it went straight on my face and thus into my everyday makeup bag, soooo.... sorry. But Lip Maths is going to be back soon as the summer holidays are over now, so it'll be featured in that shortly!

THANKS WENDY YOU RULE.

Disney Collaboration with Fierce Nerditude: Mrs Potts

Mrs Potts is your favourite teapot, don’t lie. If I was charmed into an anthropomorphic household item, I’d want to be a teapot. Or a toastie machine…

 

 

Lid, MAC Gesso, pink from Sleek Circus palette. Crease, yellow from Sleek Circus palette. Upper and lower lashlines, Barry M Dazzle Dust in Lavender. Yellow liner, Inglot Gel Liner. Blue liner, Primark Foiled Again.

Sigh. This looks better in real life, but not that much. It was one of those ones where I kind of gave up half way through – I wanted to re-create to pattern on her bottom (tee hee) but the formula of the liners was too thick and it was gunking up my lashes…. Ah well.  I know what I would have done if I were to do it again… a pink lid, like hers, and yellow and purple brows.

I gave Vijaya Stich from Lilo and Stich this week, so go and check her look out!

Disney Collaboration with Fierce Nerditude: Kevin from Up

Vijaya gave me Kevin from Up to do as my character this week and I’m so happy because I love her! (Yep, Kevin is a she!) I gave Vijaya the Cheshire Cat to do from Alice in Wonderland this week, so go check that out too

Eyes: Inglot yellow and teal, teal eyelid, silver browbone and both crease colours from Wet and Wild Blue Had Me At Hello Palette, Fyrinnae Bite Me and Electro Koi, pink from Sleek Circus, Barry M Opal Fine Glitter Dust, and probably also some other stuff….
Lips: Silk Naturals Butter Cream Lip thingy in Hibiscus
Cheeks: Inglot AMC Cream Blush 83

Man, this was challenging! I don’t know why I felt the need to do a cut crease because they never look good on me, being that I have enough more than enough crease to go around and that my eyes are very asymmetrical. And I used ALL the colours. But… if you don’t look too closely, I kind of like it! And I have something to practice now as well!

Disney Collaboration with Fierce Nerditude: Jane from Tarzan.

I love Disney's version of Tarzan. I will even say, without a trace of irony (or shame) that the Phil Collins soundtrack is awesome. Plus I love Jane's dress sense. I would totally wear a tie and gloves to the jungle.

Eyes: Lid, Inglot AMC 60. Inner lid and to blend lid colour, Darling Girl Mojo Jojo. Lower lashline, Inglot AMC 379. Inner lower lashline, Hi Fi Between the Stars. Liner, Inglot matte gel liners in 84.
Lips: Boots 17 Twilight Tease
Cheeks: Evil Shades Pouty and Darling Girl Yes Virginia.
Fiance says: 'You look like you've been punched in the cheek' and 'the yellow is really yellow.' I love him :D

I'm not going to say too much about this look (because Blogger already ate this post once) other than HOORAY, I love yellow, and BOO, I should have put some falsies on.

Vijaya got give Pascal from Tangled today which I cannot wait to see so go and check it out!

Disney Collaboration with Fierce Nerditude: Piglet

It's Disney time again! Vijaya gave me Piglet to do, and I gave her Sully from Monsters, Inc! I love that film so I can't wait to see what she did with him.

Anyway, onto my Piglet look:

Emergency foundation, you are lighter than my neck :|

Eyes/Brows: All 120 palette, except for highlight which is the light pink shade from Wet & Wild's Lust palette.
Cheeks: Darling Girl Candy
Lips: Fyrinnae Lip Lustre inVisual Kei

I actually found this look really challenging - Piglet is pretty much just a little pink pig, so there's not much to go on. I was really unsure whether or not add black liner or glitter to this look in case it made it too harsh - he's such a cute little thing! In the end, I went with all matte shadows (more cuddly, right?!) and skipped the liner to keep it soft looking. My fiance thinks the eyebrows are 'creepy,' but he can go and do one as far as I'm concerned ;)

Go and check out Sulley!

Disney Collaboration with Fierce Nerditude: Cinderella

Cinderella is such a cute film - I love Gus! Lucifer is an evil prick, though, I'm glad he got his comeuppance!

I gave Vijaya Jafar to do this week and I can't wait to see what she did with it! Anyway, onto my Cinders look:

Image from cinderellainfo.com.

Lid, Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in no 13 Blue Silver. Crease, Bright blue from Sleek Circus, Hi Fi Morbid Faith. Lashlines, Hi Fi Chicago, tiny bit of black from Sleek Circus.

I'm really sorry there aren't any full faced pictures - I am a total idiot and had my t-shirt on inside out, ha ha ha! Anyway, I wanted a really sparkly lid to represent her glass slippers, and obviously the blues are for her ball gown...even though in the film, her dress isn't as blue as the toys/pictures of Cinderella. I was going to do a golden lower lashine, for her hair, but then I started using Hi Fi Chicago and sort of carried on. I always feel so girly when I wear light blues!

Disney Collaboration with Fierce Nerditude: Wall-E

Vijaya is giving me some awesome characters! This week I got Wall-e, the cutest robot ever, and I gave her King Louie, the orang-utan from The Jungle Book. I'm so happy I got Wall-e, I love how expressive the animators made him considering he only really has 'eyes,' and they're in a fixed shape. 

Eyes: Lid, matte yellom from Sleek Circus. Crease, lower lashline, Fyrinnae STFU. Blended above crease, light brown from MUA Pretty Pastels. Highlight, matte cream from W&W Lush palette. Liner, Barry M Silver Black mixed with Inglot Duraline. Waterline, Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero.
Cheeks: Beauty UK Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream
Lips: Fyrinnae Lip Lustre in Romantique.

It was hard to choose colours for this look, as sometimes he's all rusty and neglected and then he gets a clean up later. I decided to go for a a bit of both. I really wanted to make a big deal of having bolts along the lashline, but it's really hard to do detail on foiled eyeshadow!


Thanks for reading, now go check out the King of the Swingers!

Shopping your stash: Sleek Sparkle Palette LOTD

Tsunimee/Liloo asked me if I'd do a makeup challenge for her - using a neglected eyeshadow palette! Now, I have a lot of these and they're mostly all Sleek as I have about ten bajillion of them now. I've been wanting to pull the Sparkle palette out for a while but as I've not had time in the mornings to deal with cleaning up dark fallout, it's not got much love for a long time. I reached for it today and here's what I came up with:

Eyes: Lid, Sleek Tinsel, Sleek Starlight, Sleek Dream Maker. Liner, crease and lower lashline (over Ulta Glitter Eye Pencil in Purple), Sleek Festive. All from Sleek Sparkle Palette. Highlight, matte pink from Wet & Wild Lust Palette.
Cheeks: Beauty Uk Baked Blusher in Peaches and Cream, Almay blush in 130 Peach.
Lips: Too Faced Glamor Gloss in Pillow Talk

A big thanks to Liloo for making me use some of my stash! I really need to pull this palette out more often as I adore that purple. Go and see what Liloo came up with here!
