120 palette tropical

Hello

Its gray and gloomy today so I decided to go for some crazy brights for my eyes.  I barely use my 120 palette.  The colors are all pretty and well pigmented, but they are quite soft and messy.  With a sticky base, these shadows are pretty great.  Too bad the palette has a weird, old lady, perfumey smell to it. 

I used a new liner brush today and I still have to get used to it... liner looks a bit wonky.

Face:
MAC Strobe Cream
L'oreal Studio Secrets Perfecting primer, dotted onto nose and under eyes (this helps hide my pore-tasticness)
MAC Moisture Tint Tinted Moisturizer- Light
MAC Studio Fix powder- C2 dusted very lightly to set
NYX Pinky blush
NYX Taupe blush to contour

Eyes
Aromaleigh eye primer- light
120 palette white gold, yellow, orange, blend of 2 pinks and black for lower lashline
Ben Nye Toast on brow
Ben Nye Black cake liner
Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion- Very Black

Lips are Barry M Pinky Peach lippie with NYX LaLa gloss

Fyrinnae- Wearable Yellow and Orange

super super excited!  My fyrinnae order arrived (in under 2 weeks!!!) and I am in awe of the sparkly goodness.  I have been trying to break my rut of purple and teal, so I decided to do my first fyrinnae look using yellow and orange.  It was sooo very difficult to not reach for the beautiful teals and purples which pretty much made up the rest of my order.... my resolve will not hold up long.


To me, this combo seems surprisingly wearable.  The colors are gorgeous and vibrant without being over the top and paired with the brown I definitely would rock this look to work.  My original intention was to pair this with a deep magenta pink in the outer corner, but opted for the brown at the last moment.  To me it kinda resembles a monarch butterfly :)

I used:
Milk jumbo pencil as base from lashes to brow
All Fyrinnae unless noted:
Banana Mochi on inner half of lid and inner lower lashline (Softly shimmery, almost frosted light golden yellow.)
Electro Koi  on rest of lid, blended into yellow (Vibrant orange that's loaded with coordinating sparkle.)
Ultrasuede applied to outer V and into crease and along lower lashline ( Matte, velvety deep charcoal brown. Great for smokey looks and eyeliner.)

NYX Chrome eyeshadow -Orange Blended between electro koi and ultrasuede
Ben Nye Toast on brow bone 
Rimmel Kohl Liner in White on waterline

(Ultrasuede is amazing.  I love matte shadows and this one does not disappoint.  It is such a perfect shade of brown and its blendability is amazing.  The texture is lush and almost satiny... the pigmentation is amazing. )

My handsome rottweiler, he appears to be being swallowed by the couch.

Thanks so much for looking!!
 

POPS!!

I finally broke into my recent TKB pops haulage and created this bright shimmery look, a tribute to Silhouette Screams whose lovely looks inspired me to finally order from TKB trading.  This completely office  inappropriate look was my office LOTD, and I loved every minute of it.  :)

Face:
L'oreal studio secrets primer
MAC Studio Fix Powder in C2
Cheeks are Aromaleigh Nectar
Lips are rimmel liner in Eastend Snob and NYX black label lipstick in Heiress
(I love this lippie, it is the only black label lipstick I currently own but plan on buying many more.  I so wish there was a store nearby where I could buy NYX because I hate buying NYX online.  Their swatches suck and it is always a gamble when you order... this lippie happened to be a winner.  I own many of the round lippies and they just don't compare to the quality and texture of the black label ones!)

Eyes:
UDPP
NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk dotted onto lid and spread out with fingertip
TKB Lemon drop pop on inner lid with Sonia Kashuk small eyeshadow brush
TKB Green Apple Pop on center lid with same brush
TKB Blueberry Pop on outer lid and into crease with same brush
Mad Minerals Navy (matte deep blue) to deepen V
All colors repeated on lower lashline
Some mineral foundation to buff out harsh lines and highlight brow
NYX Barely There to highlight inner corners
Ben Nye Cake liner on upper lashline
Cover Girl Lashblast
