FOTD - Fridays

Hey guys

I do realise that this post is nearly a week old but please bear with me - i work in a major Hi-Fi, Gaming and Music store and have been pulling 10hr shifts each day 5 days a week, and as its getting close to christmas you can imagine how busy we are getting so i hope you all understand if i keep dropping off the face of the planet every now and then.

Anyway..here's the look i wore going out on Friday night - its a simple pink, blue and purple ^_^

The pics arent too great cos i was in a rush and my camera for some reason wont pick up reds or hot pinks so yeah =?

 

FACE:

- Lime Crime Foundation Primer (im pretty sure this is just pure silicon gel)

- Almay Foundation, Medium/Light 002

- Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation, Natural Beige

LIPS:

- Cant remeber sorry BUT i think it was Savvy lipstick in Rose Blush ??

EYES:

- Mehron Tropical & Pastel Palette, i mixed the baby blue in the pastelle palette with the royal blue in the Tropical palette. The ratio was 2:1 - Baby Blue:Royal Blue, placed over lid and edges of crease - blended out with a clean brush

- Mineralista eyeshadow, Blueberry Bang, over Mehron

- Sinner or Saint Hot Pink Shadow, applied in crease and outer V

- GDE Sugar Plum, blended into area where the blue and pink met

- Black liquid Liner on the upper lashline

- Black Gel Liner on lower lashline

Sinner or Saint?

Hey guys,

Today i just wanted to pop on and share something with you that i found in Target the other day.

Its by a brand called Sinner or Saint. Mostly they sell kinda cheap packages and like gift set sorta things but they do offer this a really neat little set of 12 "eye shadow dusts" for $20.  The had some testers out of a few of the colours and when i swatched them i was really suprised by the pigmentation and colour payoff from the shadows, so i grabbed one.

This is what the outside of the box looks like. The doors are held together buy a magnet.

Each of the shadows have their own little compartment - the was soem little plastic holders for each of them but i didnt like it so i took them out.

Sadly none of the colours are named so thats a bit annoying but ow well.

These are all swatched over BARE SKIN - no primer or foundation.

Pros:

• Each pot contains 1.8g of product
• Highly Pigmented
• Super Sparkley
• Great colour payoff
• Really cheap - works out about $1.67 per jar

Cons:

• They don't come with a sifter
• Are most likely just repackaged mica (the ingredients listing on the back of the box suggests this)
• The darker colours (black/pewter and navy blue) stain the skin so you have to wear a good primer

Overall i really like these colours. they were a good price and i think would be really good if you're just starting out with loose shadows or are wanting to get a present for somebody who is just starting to get into makeup and such.

Hope you enjoyed this little semi-review and swatches and ill speak to you all soon.
