My fave way to wear blues

Hey guys! I thought I would save some posts as drafts if I am going to busy, that way it will feel like I'm still here :)
So this is a look that I did a few weeks ago, & I have to say it is probably my fave way to wear blues without going OTT. Most people are intimidated by it, I think they have a phobia of looking 80's but I've learned that there's a lot of ways to wear it without looking like Mimi!
I don't know how I look so 'warm' here!!!







Silly face!! :P

I also used the nude colour to highlight.





 Nyx JEP in milk as base + waterline.
Eyes- Designer Brands palette (Pictured)
Dark blue from 120 palette.
Maybelline Liquid eyeliner 

Cheeks- Nyx peach blush
Lips- Nyx soft lip cream in Tokyo

Looking back, I could have blended the darker blue more with the lighter blue. & I needed to clean up underneath the eye O.o Otherwise I liked this look- very similar to a look I did years agoo
I loved this when I did it. Same colours except matte. Eyebrows have arched a lot since then!!
Thanks for looking lovely's- What is your fave way to wear blue eyeshadow???

Inglot Prize! + Pixiwoo Inspired Purple + Pink

So I actually received it last week, by 'It' I mean the Inglot prize from Amalia which consists of 3 concealers & 2 lipsticks in a palette. Yayy my first Inglot products! & if this is anything to go by, I can't wait until the day I buy some of their eyeshadows!
Amalia sent them to me with the palette empty & the products separately in plastic. When I first swatched them they felt extremely creamy, & maybe a bit melted (who knows, it came from the sunny U.S to winter in Aus so that may have affected it) but now I can tell they are just extremely creamy!! I have used them everyday since I've received them & they apply so smoothly & last all day!! (well not quite all day, I haven't tested them that far)
        & for the lipsticks... gorgeous colours! the 1st one is more cherry & the other one more blue-based. I haven't actually used the 2nd one yet which I must! Only bad thing is that I cannot take this palette in my bag with me for touchups :(.
        Oh I should probably describe the palette- Quite heavy & sturdy, & very magnetic. To get the lid off you need to push it from the corner. If I wanna pick up the products I just put the end of the lid near it & it picks them up.


& anyhoo a look I did that day, which was inspired by this tutorial by Pixiwoo which was inspired by Selena Gomez. >>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRimgqd4EtY<<
Unfortunatly It had been a while since I had seen it so I had to go from the top of my head. Which still wasn't quite close. Ohwell. At least I remembered the main colours! Please don't go to the video & think hurr durr it is no where near the same. I like it being different anyway :)



Ha Ha trying too hard to look sexy.

Just mucking around :P



Eyes:
Random Purple Gel eyeliner from Ebay as a base over TFSI
Pictured: Revlon Pink About It in the crease;
Designer Brands palette: The colours with the hearts... lightest being the highlight
A pink from the 120 palette lightly over the crease.
The same gel e/l to line the eyes
Black Bean in addition as e/l

Cheeks:
Fyrianne blush in Intriqued... I think this is the first time I have used it & I don't look like a clown! Its so hard to use a light hand with this stuff!! (Pictured.... on top of the Inglot lid) I should have gone with a more neutral cheek but I was drawn to it that day!

Lips
Inglot.. the one I'm pointing to ;)

Well you deserve a pat on the back if you read all that!! *pats* Thanks for looking!! I would love to hear your feedback!!
