Inglot Galaxy Eyes/ New Years Eve | FOTD

 Firstly, I want to apologize for being so absent! I've been a terrible beauty blogger, but the thing that has been setting me back is not being able to access it on my phone. I can look at my blog, but I can't log in and post drafts like I normally do so it's very frustrating. And I'm usually too lazy to get out my computer or if I am using it, I'm doing other things.

Anyway, this is definitely not a "of the day" post seeing how this makeup is quite a bit older now, but of course I still wanted to post it! I did this before I got the Vice 2 palette, after seeing a video from Thatgirlshaexo & realizing that I have very similar colours anyway. Now that I have that palette, they are indeed similar but I can still see differences, so I don't feel as guilty for having similar colours.
All the colours I needed happened to be in my Inglot palette, but I think it's a very dupable look.

Wow on my screen my face looks extremely photoshopped, I can assure you that it's not!

When I first wore this, I did not have new years in mind, but you could easily add some glitter to either the lid or lower lashline, or as the eyeliner to make it more of a festive look.

Face: Nars Sheer Glow, Benefit Hoola, Stila Kitten Highlighter Duo, Nars Sex Appeal blush

The eyeliner is nothing special on the top but I did use a black gel liner for the bottom with a flat definition brush.

Nyx Lip Liner Collection | Review & Swatches

Lip liners are usually disregarded and I admit I don't use them as often as I should & only if I "need" to, so I don't believe in spending a lot of money for them! I love the Nyx lip liners, because they are so affordable and they have a huge selection of colours.

6 of the Nyx lip liners I have are the slim lip pencil & 1 long lip pencil, honestly I'm not sure what the difference between them are apart from the length of them. I like to buy them on Ebay from Joys Cosmetics because if you buy more than one it becomes cheaper! & I've been buying from them for years & have never had a problem [By the way, she now stocks Real Techniques brushes at a really good price! (N/A)]
[L-R] Rose: Peachy Pink, goes nicely with any lighter neutral pink lipsticks.
Dolly Pink: Cool toned light barbie pink- Perfect for MAC St Germain or Wet n Wild Dollhouse Pink
Pinky: Deep pinky-fuchsia that I use with darker pinks like Maybelline Vivid Rose.
Mauve: Natural browny-pink colour, I use this when just accentuating outside of my lip line as it matches my natural lip colour almost perfectly, except a couple shades darker. Also looks good blended on the edges with a lighter nude.
Bloom: A gorgeous deep magenta/fuchsia colour, works well with MAC Girl About Town
Prune: Dark purple, would be good for MAC Cyber.
(Long Lip pencil) Plush Red: Hot pinky red, I actually like this with MAC Impassioned for a very slight ombre look.

Now, I find these lip pencils can be slightly dry & can pull on the lips, but they are still very pigmented and when you have them sharpened it's easy to get a precise line. Out of the colours I have, I use Rose, Pinky, Mauve & Bloom the most.

The Slim lip pencils retail for around $3.50 and the Long lip pencil's for $2 which is funny considering they have a lot more product in them. There are so many colours to choose from the Slim range and I'm now eying off some more pink & coral ones, just check out the selection from Cherry Culture!

Have you tried these lip liners before? If so, let me know which colours you get the most use out of!
