EOTD : 3-Minute Warm and Shimmery Nude

Hey lovelies!

Just sharing my simple, everyday makeup.

Tadaaaa!

I've mentioned before that when I started going to work in my previous job, I was always tired, even in the mornings. So I try my best to get as much sleep as I could so I had to sacrifice some of the usual things I do when getting ready in the morning and one of them is my eye makeup. But after a few days, I got really bored with how I look so I just HAD to do eye makeup again. I can't help it, it's my favorite part of the makeup process!

So I still put on eyeshadows, mascara and eyeliners but in a simple way. I'm not a fan of just using one eyeshadow color so I try to use palettes that blend well together. 

For this look, I will use this palette from The Body Shop...

The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Palette 30

I chose this palette because the colors are warm and nude. It looks good on Filipina skin.

Top left to bottom right: Burnished Gold, Dusty Fawn, Warm Copper, Rich Espresso

So I took photos of the step by step application of my makeup... so let's start with...

Bare eyelids

Just apply your favorite eyeshadow primer. I used UDPP.

I applied the Burnished Gold as my base shadow.

Then applied warm copper at around 1/3 from the outside corners of the eye.

Then Rich Espresso at the 1/4 part and also thinly applied near the lash line.

Also apply Rich Espresso at 1/2 of the lower lash line.

I then blend Dusty Fawn from the brow bone down to area where I've applied the eyeshadows.

I also applied Dusty fawn on the inner lower lash line.

Then line the tearline with brown eyeliner and curl the lashes.

Finally, apply a coat of mascara.

And that's it! A very easy look for everyday.

It's easier to do this with shimmery eyeshadow because they blend easier. Matte ones make mistakes more visible so use them when you're more used to applying eyeshadow.

With this very easy EOTD, there'll never be dull makeup days anymore!
Hope you find this helpful!


Cheers,

The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Palette 30

Hello loves!

The Body Shop released their Spring Trend Collection where they introduced their Limited Edition Hair Chalk. Other products included in the collection are shimmer cubes and lip glosses. The Body Shop sent us one of each a month ago and this is one of the loots we received:

The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Palette 30

This is Php 1,295.00 and the collection offers two shades.

At the bottom of the palette are names of each shade...

And here's a closeup of the shades. I've arranged them according to how it is listed at the label.

The shades included in the palette aren't that unique. I have palettes from other brands that have almost the same shades.

But even though I don't find it unique, I still love how pigmented they are!

Check out the swatches below:

Aren't they vibrant? Even if they are very neutral shades, they still look fun and very alive because of its boldness and shimmer.

Below's how I usually apply the palette:

I added a blue eyeliner to add that extra "UMPH" to the look.

With a really good eye primer, the eyeshadows last the whole day on my lids.

I wish I could try the pink version. It looks so cute and feminine. If only it were a little more affordable, I would get one too! :P

Do you like The Body Shop's Shimmer cubes? What do you think of this particular one? 

Cheers,
