A bit of an explanantion...

Hey everyone,

Sorry i haven't been posting anything in the last 5 weeks. I have been dealing with a lot of personal problems that have taken over my life at the moment. I had recently decided to come out to my mum about a lot of issues that i have kept hidden for a number of years. Unfortunately i have only received a vast amount of negativity from it all. I hope you all can understand, and i will be trying to get back to posting regular again soon, maybe ill aim for 2 posts a week as a start.

Thank you all so much and i hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year to you all

Update

Hey guys

Im sorry to say that for the next few days there wont be any makeup posts on here. Ive just moved back home for the next 3 months while on on holidays from University. I have to unpack a lot of stuff (its scary bacause the amount i brought back is about half of what i left behind) and my gorgeous puppy has decided that an ample welcome home gift was to set of my allergies so my nose is running and my eyes are bloodshot - makes for an attractive makeup base.
But i will be back in a few days once everything has settled down.
Hope your all well and ill speak to you soon!

Depressing Update

Hey guys

Sorry i havent posted anything for a while. I have officially finished all my exams as of the 13th so i've been a bit busy attempter to catch up with people and do all things i havent been able to.

I did get my hair done, its amazing! ill put some pictures up for you all real soon.

Last night was my school Formal for yr12 (last year for those of u who dont know) it was a complete disaster and waste of time and money, for me at least, but i wont go into that because it really upsets me. I will, however, put some pictures up so you all can see my hair and makeup.

Tonight im going to the Britney Spears concert which is exciting. I dont normally listen to her very often but she kind of burst into the music industry when i was growing up and i loved her back then so i figured why not go with a bunch of old friends and enjoy re-living our childhood favourites lol "Baby One More Time.." i still dont understand those lyrics after all these years =P I will be bringing my camera to the concert so ill try and grab some pics - not promising they will be any good because we all know how annoying concert ligthing can be, but ill try and ill put them up in a post.

Ill post about my look tonight for the concert

Glamour Doll Eyes Swatches and Initial Thoughts

Hey everyone

If you remember a while ago i purchased a few samples from Glamour Doll Eyes. I finally recieved my order today after waiting 12 days for it to arrive in the post.

At this point in time I dont know if i will be ordering from them again as it did take a month to process my order and send it, even though at the time my order was placed their site stated it would only take 2 weeks to process orders. =/ However i did notice that the week after i placed my order the processing time on their site had chaned to 2-4 weeks, so i guess they got really busy over Halloween.

So all together i grabbed 13 samples, it worked out cheaper to get the colours i wanted in her collections that get them individually so i opted for that.

*colour descriptions are taken straight from the Glamour Dolls website*

- The Jelly Beans Collection [sadly this collection isn't being offered anymore]

  >Strawberry Cupcake: pretty pink not too bright and not too light
  > Pixie: (couldnt find a proper description) shimmery pink with a slight peach tinge
  > Blueberry Lush: bright blue with medium sheen
  > Sugar Plum: gorgeous light purple

  > Gold Digger: gold
  > Graffiti: matte black with lime glitter

- Bad Gal Collection

  > Violet: pale violet

  > Secretive: soft pink with low sheen

  > Dirty Jeans:  teal grean that rubs into a blue-green with gold hues

  > Leather & Lace: matte black with pink glitter

- Geeky But Glam Collection

  > Fabulous!: an amazing teal

  > Sterling Gitz: a silvery diamond glitter shade

  > Pinky Swear: bright fuschia with pearl finish

  > Glam Girl: super bright purple

- Fabulous!(individual sample) - teal

 

Line1: Leather & Lace, Sterling Glitz, Graffiti, Gold Digger

Line2: Blueberry Lush, Fabulous (x2), Dirty Jeans

Line3: Sugar Plum, Glam Girl, Violet, Pinky Swear

Line4: Pixie, Secretive, Strawberry Cupcake

Line1: Leather & Lace, Sterling Glitz, Graffiti, Gold Digger

Annoyingly neither Leather & Lace or Graffiti had any visible glitter in them. The formula was a bit grainy so im assuming that there was glitter in it, you just cant tell when you use it....

 

Line2: Blueberry Lush, Fabulous, Dirty Jeans

I did my best to capture the gold sheen in Dirty Jeans, which i think came out quite good ^_^ considering im normally whinging about my cameras inability to capture the different hues in some of my pigments

 

Line3: Sugar Plum, Glam Girl, Violet, Pinky Swear

Violet was a bit of a let down, its not as sheer as it appears here, but it isnt as vibrant as i would have expected. Pinky Swear was probably the most suprising because as i moved it under the light a blue hue was brought out of which was gorgeous (insert whinging about stupid camera here -.-" ) 

 

Line4: Pixie, Secretive, Strawberry Cupcake

I think the angle that i was taking this photo was just plain wrong - all these shades are much brighter and Secretive even has a hot pink highlight to it when moved under the light =/

I think my favourite colours are

- Dirty Jeans

- Sugar Plum

- Fabulous

- Pinky Swear

- Secretive

- Sterling Glitz

Have you ever ordered from Glamour Doll Eyes?

What do you think of their colours?

Has anybody else had the same problem with Leather & Lace and Graffitit?
