Doll Challenge Day 7- Barbie

"I'm a barbie girl..." I tell you, I was't feeling all plastic fantastic recreating barbie. Sounded easy in my head, but one of my products was dead set on ruining any chance of me having anything worth sharing for Day 7 of the Doll Challenge, I'll show you what I used, then I'll explain.
Face
Covergirl Outlast 3-in-one Foundation
Covergirl Professional Loose Powder
Inouvi "Candy Blush"
88 Warm Palette

Eyes
NYX "Milk" Jumbo Eye Pencil
88 Warm Palette
Urban Decay "Bourbon" and "Midnite Cowboy" 24/7 Eye Liners

Lips
Gorgeous Cosmetics "Scarlette" Lip Pencil
Sleek "Milkshake" Pout Paste
NYX "Milk" Jumbo Eye Pencil

 For this look, I wanted to create a matte and lighter base than my skintone, as you can see in this photo! I used my daughter's foundation and powder. I followed Kandee Johnson's barbie tutorial, I use the word followed loosely, she looks unbelievably good! 

The eye look consisted of NYX "Milk" Jumbo pencil on my lids. I then applied Urban Decay "Bourbon" 24/7 Eye Liner to my crease, then blended that out with a dark neutral from the 88 Palette. This is where I faced a problem, I wanted white liner on my lower waterline. Face of Australia Eye Liner was my lightest liner. I proceded to line my waterline, only to discover it irritated my eyes. As in, I could not stop "crying". Normally, that would have been fine starting over again, except I had applied my face products, and had spent so long adding little contour touches with a neutral shadow. So the lot had to come off, and I had to begin again. I was so crushed, but I was determined to complete the barbie look, so at almost 11pm, I started again, lol.

Everything went back on my face, this time I used Urban Decay "Midnite Cowboy" on my waterline. I use this everyday, and knew that I wasn't going to react badly to it. Finished my lips, then decided I wanted to add a little more liner to the edges of my waterline, as Kandee had. Fantastic, I was DONE, until I come to the realisation that I had accidentally used the FOA liner. 

I quickly grabbed my camera to take some shots before the watering began, sufficed to say, I wasn't able to take the hundreds I normally take to get usable photos. I was NOT starting over, lol. 



So, this is what sad, middle aged Barbie with brown eyes looks like, lol. It could be the best selling Barbie yet!

    What a drama! At least you're not teary & red-eyed in the pics. Kandee Johnson's amazing, isn't she?
    You do a great ombré lip! I'm curious for tomorrow's challenge.

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.
