Bolt Blue Ink Eyes

This look turned out a bit differently than I wanted it to be. I was aiming for a frosty blue look but somehow this one appeared to be more indigo and way more purplish than what these photos are showing!
I always find it very interesting when one mix colours together and end up with a totally different outcome than what was originally planned!

Time to glitter!!

So since we're in the last month of the year, and there are a lot of holidays and such going on, December contains a lot of glitter here and there which is fantastic!I want to be glittery too, and why not gold?? Can't we all just become a glittery bauble and sparkle away??This is a semi-smokey look, easy to do and easy to wear. And one can do the crease a lot darker than I have for a night out, or choose another colour of the glitter to have a lot more action on the lid!
Check out our glitter swatches from LIT Cosmetics here if you want to be a bauble...!!!

Medusa Glitter + Swatches

So we have been shopping some Medusa stuff again, who could resist when it was Black Friday and all!But the goodies are split in two posts, since we don't want the server to crash because of the many pictures... Now let's look at the precious glitters we got!
Look!! Neon Glitters! Isn't that fab or what!

And some "normal" glitters! The ones to the left belongs to Phlox, and the ones to the right are mine (Azure). I always wanted to get hold of an orange and a yellow glitter, but am still looking because these ones kind of disappointed me. Don't get mer wrong, they are so pretty, but I didn't want them to glitter in green as much as they do. You'll see it on the swatches below

Aren't they sooooo pretty!?
Here we have them!

As usual a blurry picture comes in handy when there's glitter involved!

And then in daylight. Now that green I was talking about is really showing! So if any of you know a plain glitter in yellow and orange (that's not in gold!) please let me know!!

And now to the neon glitters! Am I alone to drool here!?

Neon Blue
Neon Pink
Neon Red
Bottom row:

Neon Orange


Swatch in daylight:

Neon Yellow
Neon Orange

Still in daylight:

Neon Pink
Neon Blue

And here's how they look next to each other!
The only thing misplaced would be the name for the Neon Red, because I don't find it red at all, more pink for that matter. But the pink one really is pink so I don't know what they were thinking!
So whatcha think? Pretty or what!?
And seriously, the neon glitters were awesome! Oh and by the way, Phlox got so excited about them she had to try them on the lips, do you remember??

Enjoy!

Medusa Eye Dusts and Indelible Eyeliners

To contact us Click HERE
Part two of our Black Friday Haul with Medusa Make Up goodies!Here're some Eye Dusts and Glitter, but I wouldn't call these ones as glitter because the grains are so fine so they would go more as sparkling eye dust or something. But you could label them yourself from the swatches below!
And here they are! We wanted some new highlight pigments!


And here are the swatches of the "glitters" which I think is more like a sparkling non covering pigment. In the same texture as Puzzle Cube from Shiro Cosmetics or Illamasqua's Pure Pigment Beguile.
Star Power to the left, and
Shooting Star to the right


 Notice that these two swatches are not the same product!! But they are indeed twins! So if you want to purchase these glitter shadows for yourself, pick one of these two and then a total different one! They are identical but called two different things!
And swatches of the Eye Dusts! Made in daylight, no flash.Blow to the left,Studio 54 to the right!Blow is white/silvery and has a metallic sheen, but as I swatched them I could see somewhat of a baby pink in there too but maybe that's just me. Studio 54 is a white golden metallic shade which works for about every look. I think both of these pigments are a good base if you want two "normal" highlighters. Well recommended by us anyways!And they work very good using them alone, but also with a pigmented primer to get so many shiftings! Look me using one pigment but with a black base underneath here

We also wanted to try their gel liners, but since we recently got a black one from MAC, we figured it would be much more fun of trying some colours!They are called Indelible Paint, and the name is very full on!

Ingredient list for nerds (like us!)!

And these are the colours we chose! We got the white one respectively, the pink is Phlox's and the purple is mine (Azure's).
I got a little eager to swatch them, hence the hallow in the purple!
And their names! Catchy, right!

Taken out, ready to be swatched. This is by the way how we apply eyeliner, from jar to hand, from hand to eye, just to avoid bacterias from the eye growing in the jar.

I just painted some drops (kind of...) with an eyeliner brush.

Then I waited a while and smudged them out with my finger. Then I realized how they lived up to their name. The center of the purple was a bit thicker than the others so it wasn't set but apart from that they were very smudge proof! We like!


We also received some samples - lipglosses! Don't say no to that, eh!One pink, one orange and one sheer pink!

And the names of them! Phlox gave the orange one to me at once since she thought the name of it suited me. Don't know what she's referring to...!? 

Swatched!
From left to right:
Smooch
Loud Moth
Space Kitten!

The lipglosses all in all are great, but they are the most heavy scented glosses I ever come across.
Smooch has a very candy fruited scent with a bit of vanilla.
Loud Mouth is also fruity but not so sweet.
Space Kitten was only weird. Don't like the scent at all, if I'd name it it would be: Just-cleaned-the-toilet-with-perfume.
Or something like that!


Hope you like it, because we did haha!
Over and out!
Phlox and Azure

All the Medusa were purchased by us, and the thoughts are our own!

Neon Blue Glitter Eyeliner

Yiha!First try out of the neon glitters for my part!I started slowly (boring I know!) by making a neon blue eyeliner to this regular look. I can see a lot of fun looks with these neons that's for sure! Imagine to go crazy with the Acid Palette from Sleek or the Vivid Eye Palette from Star Gazer!!!Will have to try it!The glitter is weird to describe since it honestly not glitters but still catches the light. The grains are glossy and can reflect the light, but it's not as sparkly as one is use to when it comes to glitter! Are you following me?
I also tried on the new highlight pigment and it's awesome! Golden just the way I want it! Studio 54 is a keeper!Anyhow, there will be more neons!
