IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

"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.

Inouvi is a brand that,, before seeing it on Ozsale, I had not heard of before. Since using some products, I think that it delivers decent makeup. The blush that I recently finished is not my first from Inouvi, you can read about "Hyperbolic" here . This pic does not show the actual colour at all, it is pink, very pink! And is aptly named "Pink" With a light application, the velvety blush gives a subtle flush of colour. It is buildable to the desired depth of colour. Blush is a makeup product that I am not loyal to any one brand, I am generally drawn to the colour. This blush has served me well, but I don't feel the need to search for a replacement. In saying that, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this brand again, if the opportunity did arise.

The lovely  Monique was kind enough to choose the next theme for the Come Play With Me series. She called it How Low Can You Go? Do a makeup look with minimal products, pretty easy, right? Certainly a challenge, but doable... just. Monique was clever enough to only use 5 products, you can see that here , check out how amazing her winged eye is, using a mascara, WOW! Hailey shows us how you can create a polished look with 4 products, yes 4!! Kat  reveals that all you need is 5 products for an amazing "face".  I managed to create a look with 8 products, not impressive, but for me, it's a major cull in products! Face Garnier BB cream for combination/oily skin in medium Inouvi "Pink" blush. Eyes Performance Colors Double Duty Matte Cream Eyeshadow in "Earth Taupe". MAC "Blue Brown" shadow to line. UD 24/7 Liner "Midnight Cowboy" applied to my lower waterline.  L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara. Lips Gorgeous Co...

With a theme called Bright and Bold, cleverly chosen by Hailey , I had so many ideas whirling around in my head. I really didn't think I'd be able to make my mind up. Finally after some inspiration, thanks to rifling through my mineral makeup, I decided first with an eye look, then the rest of my full face look just came to me easily. Face Garnier BB Cream for combination to oily skin. Inouvi "Candy" and "Pink" blushes. Eyes Coastal Scents Camo Quad, using the white on my lids for a base. Gold, green and purple loose pigments to create my eye look. Mirenesse Superlong Wear Gel in "Black" to line my upper lashline. MUA black Contour Liner on lower waterline. L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes. Lips Australis Show Stopper Gloss Stick in "Fireworks". What I love just as much as playing with makeup is also playing with nail colour, no surprise there, right? :) With Sally Hansen HD "Laser" ...

Finally, I have used up my first ever blush!! I know it may seem weird to get excited about a finished product, but I have so many blushes, that I've decided not to buy more until I start using some up..actually I apply this to all makeup...the only problem is, I rarely stick to my own rules!! I bought some Inuovi products from website Ozsale. I had not heard of this brand before, however, seeing that everything listed was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. I must say that I am so glad that I did!! The blush is packaged in a plastic domed shaped compact. If I had to pick something that I didn't like it would only be the packaging. I found that my compact became very shabby looking due to the dome shape, meaning that it was easily scratched in storage. The above pic is not of the blush featured in this post. The one I finished is Hyperbolic, a coral/peach colour, unfortunately I didn't take a pic of it new. The blush itself I adore. It is so simple to work with. ...
