Halloween - Precious Metals

photo found on google

This look was inspired by a rainbow mineral rock I have. It's black but reflects a rainbow of different colors creating a witchy luminous look! I used Makeup Geek's new duo-chrome eyeshadows on top of black eyeshadow to create the same kind of effect on my eyes. Makeupgeek's duo-chrome shadows were also used for subtle contour, blush, and highlight on the face. As for foundation, I brought out a forgotten favorite - Kat Von D's LockIt Foundation. I forgot how awesome and airbrushed this foundation looks. For the lips I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Midnight liquid lipstick and placed Fyrinnae's Electromagnetic liquid lipstick on top for the iridescent black effect. I really love the outcome. It could be used for a bunch of different costumes or a night out if you are feeling adventurous!

Liquid Lipsticks - Purples, Plums, Lilacs

Purple was never one of my favorite colors but makeup wise lately it has been growing on me big time. With all these deep eggplants and greyed out lavenders it's hard not to fall for the rich hue. Spring was all about lilacs and pastel shades and Fall will be covered in lush, vibrant plums.

I tried to include a variety of shades here. Kat Von D's Ayesha is absolutely gorgeous! The perfect grey under toned violet. I also posted Anastasia's Potion - a deep blackened eggplant. Potion is a vampy statement shade and with a capital v. Younique's Savvy lip stain is a stain more than a liquid lipstick per say but it holds its own on the list and looks gorgeous with their Pompous lip liner.

This is just the beginning of my purple liquid lipstick collection as they keep releasing new and amazing shades every day! When I purchase more I will update this post! Any shades you recommend me to check out?

Row1: ABH Veronica, ABH Sad Girl, Younique Savvy, LimeCrime Faded, Covergirl 595, Stila Amore, ABH Craft, ABH Vintage, ABH Trust Issues, LA Girl Rebel, ABH Potion, Colourpop Koala, Colourpop Zipper
Row 2: Kat Von D Ayesha, Kat Von D Requiem

Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Palette - Swatches

Miss Kat Von D has been a favorite of mine in the beauty world for a long time now. I love her products. From her full coverage (and I mean FULL) foundation to her buttery eyeshadow palettes they are all top notch. I have yet to pick up here Shade + Light Contour palette but I picked up her Shade + Light Eye palette and I am so happy I did. It is so gorgeous!!

This palette is completely matte and every single shade is super pigmented. It has everything you need to contour and manipulate your eyes in one perfect palette. There are total of 12 shades, 3 being larger for base and blending. The collection of shadows is separated into 3 sections, neutral, cool, and warm. I love the way she organized this. It makes application for a beginner or when you are in a rush a snap. She even included an instruction pamphlet for reference. It shows examples for a natural and a smokey look for each undertone.

The selection of colors here is perfect. You have a black, a white, yellow ivory, a warm brownish red, etc. You have every matte neutral you will ever need in one handy and nicely sized palette.

The one thing you might miss is an included brush. Kat did release a special eye brush at the same time as this palette but they are sold separately and there is no space for the brush inside the palette. I don't really mind as I bring a bunch of brushes when traveling anyway but I know some people will find that to be a bummer. Here is the link to her eye brush if you are interested.

It retails for $46 and can be found here on Sephora's website. I believe at this point it is early release for VIB and ROUGE members only. If you aren't a member I recommend signing up as you rack up points and earn deluxe samples all for free!

moth season is here ladies and gents!

Here ladies and gentleman, are the neutrals!

Kat Von D Blush - Wish

Kat Von D has a very versatile collection through Sephora. You can find a black lipstick or a bronzer. The collection is very well rounded I think.

This blush called Wish is the answer to all my glowy cheek needs people! It is the perfect product to add warmth to your complexion but not over do it. It is buildable though. I plan to use this year round and I particularly think it will work wonders in the winter to add some color. It's not too pink, not too brown, and not glittery. There is a very very fine shimmer that is barely noticeable. It's the perfect glowy nude. So in love!

Find it here.
