The Doll Challenge Day 6- Glitter

I love playing with glitter, I hate removing it, especially from my face. But, Day 6 of the Doll Challenge called for glitter, and I was going to deliver!
Face
Natio Pure Mineral Skin Perfecting BB Cream
MAC Mineralize Concealer
MUA Cosmetics "Twilight" Glitter Eye Palette
Glitter Pieces

Eyes
88 Warm Palette
Mirenesse "Black" Longwear Gel
MUA Cosmetics "Twilight" Glitter Eye Palette
Prestige "My Blackest Lashes" Mascara

Lips
Maybelline "Shocking Coral" ColorSensational lipstick
Espionage Cosmetics "Whamm" Mineral Pigment

I began with creating a rather thick winged liner, using Mirenesse "Black" Longwear Gel. I then patted the lightest colour from the MUA "Twilight" Glitter Eye Palette. This took a lot of time and product, as it was hard to get the glitter to show up, as it was getting rather lost in the black liner. Then, with all that cream product, it just slid, and transferred onto my hooded crease, so no EOTD shots for this one. I applied the blue glitter from the same palette over brown liner along my lower lashline.

After applying the Natio BB Cream, I dabbed my fingers first in the purple glitter and patted the cream onto my cheeks and up to my brow bone. I highlighted the top of my cheeks with pieces of opalescent glitter, that appears to be have been a waste of time, because I could not capture it, no matter what angle I photographed from. Sigh. Anyway, I then used the darker pink glitter cream underneath the purple, to kind of contour.

Lips were fairly simple. I applied Maybelline "Shocking Coral" lipstick, then patted on Espionage "Whamm" Mineral Pigment with my finger. Just love the glittery pinky coral finish.



I have quickly discovered that glitter is really hard to capture on a camera. But, I did have fun getting all glittery. Removing it wasn't so fun. I was still seeing the odd sparkle days after creating this look.

 Stay tuned for Days 7 and 8 :)

    It really must be difficult to capture on camera, there's not a lot visible. I can imagine the drama you had cleaning it off. I can well believe you were finding the odd sparkle for days afterwards, lol!

    I was mostly disappointed with the opalescent glitter, it looked so pretty in real life, but didn't show up at all on my camera

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
