Horrible attempt at an EOTD

I tried to do a blue/green/purple look today. Didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. D:

Using these ingredients:



MAC Paint Pot "Soft Ochre"
Fyrinnae "Pixie Epoxy"
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Puffo" (inner corners)
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Mela" (lid)
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Frutti di Bosco" (outer corners)
Aromaleigh Ciao Italia! "Fior di Latte" (highlight)
CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus "Midnight Blue"
MUFE Smoky Lash



On the flip side, I really liked how long my eyelashes looked. Here is the best closeup I could manage with my crap camera-taking skills.

Meow Cosmetics: Egyptian Treasures Swatches

Today is Aromaleigh's final closing sale! I've already ordered from the Ciao Italia and Lost in Faerie collections last night. This afternoon, I got the rest of them. But we're not yet finished! I need t get my hands on a couple of Aromaleigh's beautiful Pure Rouge blushes and then we'll be finished. Woo! I think I got all of the colors I wanted instead of Jolie and Dragonfly. There was only 1 each left and I wasn't fast enough. But the other colors I did get will definitely keep me busy for a while.

How did you guys do in your Aromaleigh dash? :D

Moving on, here are the swatches for Meow Cosmetics collection, Egyptian Treasures. This was the collection that got me into Meow in the first place. Before purchasing, I had been eyeing them for a long time. The colors are super vibrant, bright and the formula is wonderful. I haven't figured out how I can incorporate them into work but I am going to experiment. Exciting!



I read that there were a couple of rumblings on how similar these colors all looked to one another. It's no rainbow but it definitely keeps true to the theme of the collection. Swatching is awesome. I'm learning more and more about my camera and Pixie Epoxy isn't as intimidating anymore!



Temple would be perfect for work. Just brush it on your eyelids and out the door you go! I am loving the deep reds though. Seriously, the colors just make your eyes go wide.



I could actually see these three as an entire look. Artifact for the crease, MIW for the lid, and Ra for the highlighting, brow bone, etc.



Fair warning: these blushes are highly pigmented. I swatched them on with a super heavy hand. If you dust it on your cheeks, make sure to do it in layers, not one big swipe. Beautiful colors! Not sure how I would wear Cleopatra though. It's a cooler pink than my skin color would agree with. Finally, last but not least, the glows:



Aren't they pretty? :)

Edited to say that I tried the look with Artifact, MIW, and Ra. Here's my conclusion:



I put more green on my left eyelid than I did on my right so it came out uneven. Wore it for a potluck tonight and just noticed how unbalanced it was. Aarrrrgggh. Still, loving Meow. :D

Lumiere & MAC haul + EOTD

I got my Lumiere and MAC haul today! I thought I only got MAC today but it turns out that Lumiere wasn't too far behind.

Here's the MAC paint pot in "Soft Ochre":



Here's my Lumiere haul. You can find the list here.





And an eye of the day! I am seriously tired of this camera. I can't get it to show the colors very well when I use flash. Understandably, colors tend to wash out in flash but jeepers, I know there's a way to keep the color in. Maybe it's by buying a better camera. Lol.



Products I used:

MAC Paint Pot in "Soft Ochre"
Morgana Minerals in "Coraline"
Aromaleigh Pigment in "Amelie"
Aromaleigh Pigment in "Tea"
Aromaleigh Pigment in "Persephone"
L'Oreal Lineur Intense Eyeliner
MUFE Smoky Lash
Estee Lauder sample palette (eyebrows)

I got my eyebrows done (threaded)! Can't you tell? ;]

Ah...just took another look at the picture. No, you can't see the eyebrow job because it's being shadowed by that hideous fill-in I did. D:
