Peach & Green Dolly

Peach & Green Dolly

For this I wanted to do a light peach & green cut crease dolly look. I stacked Red cherry lashes with Ardell for more fuller & dramatic lashes. I added a double line of glitter eyeliner to give the eyes some sparkle. Went with shimmery pink cheeks & a light pink lip. Curled my hair & threw in some dramatic contacts to finish off the 'dolly' look.

The Body Needs Glitters: Review & Swatches

The Body Needs Glitters: Review & Swatches

Here are the colors I ordered:

- Mauve
- Green
- Blue
- Pixie
- Hysteria
- Chocolate
- Holo-Black

Review:
I'm a big fan of their eyeshadows so when I noticed they had glitters, I wanted to try them. 

Overall I love these glitters & feel it's a great product. I've already ordered a bunch more and will be putting those swatches up later.

All the colors I purchased are really beautiful & sparkly! They are not very fine, I'd say medium, which I like because it catches more light and sparkles better. They are easy to work with and stay on all day (a few of them do flake off, but hardly) I usually use them as glitter liner, or applied on the eyelid.
I believe all their glitters are eye safe, which is VERY important becuase ones that aren't cause cause infections. I haven't had any issues with irritation & they don't bother me at all. 
To Remove: I use a mixture of baby oil + Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner on a cotton rounds to wipe everything off.

I apply them over Too Faced Glitter Glue which works awesome, using an ELF concealer brush. I I have also used them with MAC's water based mixing medium but it doesn't work as well.

Chaos Cosmetics: Review & Swatches

Chaos Cosmetics: Swatches & Review

Soo.....I discovered a new cosmetics company that I have added to my list of favorites. They have mineral loose powder eyeshadows in gorgeous, unique colors that I haven't seen anywhere else. 

REVIEW:
Colors are gorgeous & very pigmented. Some reflect & morph to change colors which looks really amazing but unfortunately the camera didn't capture how unique they no matter how many shots I took. 
Packaging is cute, eyeshadows are very finely powdered & each jar was packed to the top. 
They are easy to work with & colors look amazing when applied over a good primer & with a very slightly damp brush (I just sprayed my brushes with MAC mixing medium, then dipped them into the eyeshadow)
They stayed on all day (by all day, I mean 10+ hours)
Best part is that they are very affordable $6.49 - $8.99 per jar.

Overall I am extremely pleased with their products & plan to buy more of their stunning colors.

Glam Pink Holiday

I wanted to do a glittery look using whites & brown/grey with a bright lip. I used a dark brown and purplish silver for the cut crease but it ended up look like grey in thew photos, the camera also didn't catch how glittery & sparkly the lid really was :( 

Bronzed & highlighted the cheeks to stay away from overdoing the pink. Crunched the hair & left it down with some white feather earrings.
