Hey Y'all,

So here is a look that I did while in Vegas. I was going out on the town for a night and loved the way this turned out, so I took pictures of it. I also used the lip products that I bought at Sephora. I am loving Obey lipstick with dark eye makeup looks. I got inspired while watching this tutorial from whatstyleistonickel on YouTube. This is a look with reflects teal glitter and grape pigment. I didn't use all the products he did, but I absolutely love the way this turned out. I will definitely do this look again. The reflects glitters are the best!! Anyways, onto the look.....

Hey Everyone.

I am finally getting around to taking photos of my recent Sephora Friends and Family sale purchases. As I said in a previous blog, I was taking the sale opportunity to start my love affair with Illamasqua. I made a few orders, and this part is gonna feature the Illamasqua products I purchased plus a NARS blush. I also used them in a FOTD today, so you can see how the shadows look. So, here's what I got.


Illamasqua
Fatal Eyeshadow
Slink Eyeshadow
Furore Pigment


Packaging:
The packaging of these shadows is so cute. Although, I was a bit baffled when I first opened the box because I always thought they were much bigger. Every time I see the shadows in pictures and videos, they appear to a little bigger than they are in person. I really like the way the pigment is packaged. The top has a plastic cover and a small hole, so the product won't end up all over my carpet. Overall, the packaging is great. Isn't it cute?


Colors review:
I have used the eyeshadows a couple of times since I purchased them, and they did not disappoint. Fatal is a matte dark purple, and it is very pretty. I usually don't use matte shadows because they tend to be hard to blend and not pigmented. That criticism doesn't apply to this eyeshadow. When you swipe the shadow, you can tell that it is very pigmented. When I applied it to my eye, I did not have to keep building up the color as I have to with many other mattes. It was also very easy to blend. Slink and Furore are both more natural colors. When I got them home, I realized that they look pretty similar. Slink shows up a little better on me, and Furore is more sparkly. However, I like using furore as a brow and inner corner highlight.



Overall, I really like what I purchased. This purchase definitely makes me want more. Probably won't purchase more any time soon because I'm saving up for Christmas. For now, I'm gonna enjoy what I have.
