EOTD : Dramatic Blue and Purple and Warm Pink

Hey everyone!

Been a while since I posted any EOTD's or FOTD's so I did a status update in our Facebook Page and a friend, Kath, suggested that I do something that would suit a blue or purple gown since she has a cousin-in-law attending her prom wearing that.

So anyway, I tried experimenting and got this look:

and a close up to the eyes:

I used my Urban Decay Book of Shadows III / UDNYC for the eye shadows, Coffret D'Or Gel Liner, and Avon One Great Mascara.

I used a really bold blue all over my lids and a dark purple at the outer sides. I then added some warm pink tones at the top of my eye socket to blend them altogether.

I then applied some thick black eyeliner and some purple eye shadow at the bottom lash line. And finished the look off with some black mascara.

If you want more dramatic effect, use false lashes! :D

That's all for this EOTD. Hope you like it!

Cheers!

Urban Decay Book of Shadows III : UD ♥ NYC

Hey lovely readers!

As most of you might have read in my previous posts, I LOVE eye shadows. 

Especially the colorful ones. I love mixing and experimenting with them. I feel like these are my paint tubes and my face is my canvas. 

Today I will share with you my current favorite palette.

This isn't something new... the brand already released newer versions actually. But I still find the set of colors in this palette better. :)

It's none other than...

 Urban Decay Book of Shadows III : UD ♥ NYC

Urban Decay eye shadows are, for me, probably some of the best out there. They are very pigmented. Each stays true to the color you see when applied. Even without the primer, it's still as bold and striking (but of course it still looks better and stays longer with an eye primer). :)

I know that the infamous Naked Palette is what most women want, I still prefer their book of shadows palettes because I just love colors! Neutrals everyday is just boring. Haha! Plus, just look at the packaging!!

 Being an advertising student, I appreciate a great product package design when I see one. And I find this palette sooooo beautiful. It's already a great artwork! The pop-ups are gorgeous with the different landmarks and other stuff you see in New York City. It also has a mirror and some cute lights! ♥♥♥

So here's the palette:

(Just open in a new tab or click the pictures to zoom in)

It consists of 16 eye shadows, 2 pencil eye liners and a mini Primer Potion. :)

And here are the swatches:

Very pigmented, right?

I'm so much in-love with it! ♥♥♥

And here's a swatch of the pencil liners:

UD 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Ransom

I also love these eyeliners. If ever I find someone selling a set for a low price, I'd buy them!

It's so sad that UD isn't available in local stores yet. Good thing there are online sellers. :)

So what do you think of the UDNYC palette?

Cheers,

Look What I Bought for Myself this Christmas!

Hello everyone!

It's very rare of me to buy expensive makeup. I usually just buy makeup available at the Watsons Beauty Section. I actually find makeup above Php500 very heavy for my budget.

But in the past few days, I splurged on some makeup goodies -- eye shadows to be exact!

I've always loved doing my eye makeup. It's my favorite part in the 'makeup process.' That's where I usually pour my creativity and experiment with different looks and shades.

And since I find these purchases quite expensive, to save myself from being guilty, I decided to call these items my Christmas gift for myself! Haha!

So what are these makeup goodies that I bought?

MAC Eye Shadow Palette : Hello Kitty Collection in TOO DOLLY

Guerlain Eye Shadow Quad in Rose Boise

and finally,

MY FAVORITE purchase...

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume III : UD ♥ NYC !!!

I know most people (including my sister) are crazy for the UD Naked Palette,

but I'm not one of them. I want CRAZY, BOLD, colors on my eyes.

And UDNYC gives that. ♥♥♥

I already experimented on my eyes the moment I held the palette.

My experiment with my eyes

and my sister's

I didn't use any mascaras in both experiments. :P

My sis is also stocking up on makeup since she will be going out of the country to study.

First thing on the list -- Red Lipstick! She ordered some online and arrived last Friday.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo and NYX Matte Lipstick in Alabama

I don't feel any regrets from my sudden splurge. In fact, I'm still overwhelmed! I super love them! Yayyy! I love Christmas! Haha! :P

Cheers,
DAWN
