Smoky Blue FOTD

Hi all,

A basic blue smoky eye today with a few new (to me) products. I'm shocked at how complex the lid shade is. It's one of the older style The Body Shop eyeshadow and looks like a gunmetal/blue duochrome in the pan. Ridiculously pigmented, too, which makes me sad that they've been disconned now.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-Becca Beach Tint in Watermelon and
-Becca SSP in Rose Quartz.
Eyes:
-TFSI
-Kiko Eyeshadow stick in 17 Midnight Blue
-The Body Shop eyeshadow in 42
-Stila eyeshadow in Indigo (crease)
-MUG eyeshadow in Stealth (to blend)
-The Body Shop Eye Shimmer in Silver (brow bone and inner corner)
-Ruby Kisses 24 Hour Eye Define in Very Black (I'm shocked at how good this is! Went to clean up my eye make-up but there were no smudges)
-HIP Cream Liner in Black and
-NYX Doll Eyes Volume mascara.
Lips:
-Becca Beach Tint in Watermelon.

Zeitgeist FOTD

Hi all,

I was craving a smoky eye and figured sparkles would cheer me up a bit so Illamasqua Zeitgeist pigment is perfect. Actually, it is gorgeous. Used with Pixie Epoxy, no fallout whatsoever and the sparkles are so intense. I desperately want to get my hands on Berber next. I adore the Stila CC I used on my cheeks and lips, too. Methinks I need 'all teh colours'!

-Usual primer, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-Stila CC in Peony and
-Boots No 7 Illuminator in Pink.

Purple and grey FOTD

Hi all,

I decided to try something more subtle (for me anyway) today. The lipstick is actually better sheered out as I find the lilac duochrome is much more visible that way plus I'm not usually keen on shimmery lipsticks which that also helps with. I think I'm in love with the Becca SSP in Rose Quartz. I finally noticed the subtle lavender sheen in it today and I need more! Please excuse the lighting, the weather's all over the place today and it was really hard to get decent pics.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-Illamasqua Cream blush in Promise and
-Becca SSP in Rose Quartz.
Eyes:
-TFSI
-Milani ShadowEyez in Almond Cream
-MAC Tartan Tale 6 Beauties Play It Cool palette (yes, I used all 6 shades!)
-Rimmel Matte White e/s (brow bone)
-TBS Eye Shimmer in Silver (brow bone and inner corner)
-MAC kohl in Smolder
-HIP Cream liner in Black and
-BE Flawless Definition mascara.
Lips:
-Rouge Dior lipstick in Mitzah Lilac.
