Clinique spring wedding eye shadow duo

So my sister gave me the Clinique eye shadow duo in the bottom left a longggggg time ago but I've probably only used it once or twice. I just didn't think it looked that great on me? But anyway, I tried it on again with the MAC Speed Dial lipstick that i got this summer. I must say that I LOVEE how this eye shadow look with the lipstick. MAC Speed Dial is a pink with blue undertone. I tried wearing it with brown eyeshadow but I like how it looks with this kind of eye shadow more... I have no idea how to describe the darker colour of the eyeshadow duo... taupe? shrugs* The lighter shade is just a shimmery light gold.

Eyes:

- Clinique lighter gold on lid & middle of bottom lash line

- Clinique darker shade on crease, outter 1/3 of lid & outter 1/3 of bottom lash line

- Lancome "Imagination" on outter V (the darkest shade in my eyeshadow pic)

- Lancome "Latte" (Matte white) as highlight

- Shimmery white on inner corners

- MAC Gel liner in "Dip Down"

Cheeks:

- Benefit Hoola

- Anna Sui #302 blush

- MAC MSF "By Candlelight" as highlight

Lips:

- MAC "Speed Dial"

purple grey smoky eyes

This is actually a palette from Estee Lauder but it was a gift with purchase. I remember I got this becuase I bought the "Face and Body" kabuki brush from them. I'm pretty satisfied with the brush. It has soft bristles and there's been barely any fall outs. I used to use it to apply my mineral foundation but I use it to apply loose powder now. I believe it was either $45 or $50CAD. Hehe I love gift with purchase sometimes :)

Eyes:
- 09 Amethyst on lid & middle of bottom lash line

- W-08 Black Moon Dark on crease & lash line outter 1/3 (Grey) [I LOVE this grey]

- T-08 Black Moon Light on 1/2 of lid & inner corners (Shimmery white)

- Black eyeshadow on outter V

- MAC Rule (orange) between brow bone highlight & crease colour

- Matte white eyeshadow as highlight

Cheeks:

- Benefit Hoola

- LORAC blush in "Plum"

- MAC MSF By Candlelight as highlight

Lips:

- Kanebo Lavshuca lipstick PK-3 [super moisturizing]

China Glaze Channelesque,konad, nail stickers

Got my first two china glaze nail polish couple days ago :)
MY nails are so short right now so they're pretty ugly T__T they just keep chipping and chipping! I used the konad nail stamps and I found some nail stickers that I bought years ago, so i decided to use them today :)

I love konad nail stamps :D

NYX silver jumbo pencil, MAC Chromagraphic Pencil (NC25)

I've been using the NYX jumbo pencil almost everyday on my waterline but I wanted to try the MAC chromagraphic pencil in NC25.

I'm wearing the jumbo pencil in"Pots & Pans" on the first eye and the chromagraphic pencil on the second eye. They're both very creamy and glide on smoothly. The jumbo pencil can be used as an eyeshadow but I've never had b/c I crease reailly easily so I avoid using creamy eyeshadows. The chromagraphic pencil is also muli-functional but I probably won't be using it for other purposes except on my waterline.

NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencil:

- about $5 CAD ( can be puchased at Rexall if you're in vancouver)

- stay on for a longgggg time, longer than the chromagraphic pencil(I set it w/ white shimmery shadow)

- shimmery silver, looks really pretty under the sun light [esp in between your lower lashes]

MAC Chromagraphic Pencil:

- stays on for ... a couple of hours but it's not bad, I still like it quite a lot

- Matte, more natural in comparison to NYX penci.

I like using the Jumbo pencil for my inner corners though. I actually apply it on my lower lash line rather than just the waterline when I don't wear any black eyeliner on my lower lash line. But one thing that's really important is that you should ALWAYS apply some mascara onto your lower lashes if you're wearing any sort of white(or very light) eyeliner cuz it just looks weirddddddd if you leave it white... especially if you draw a really thick white line -_-"

So I stopped using white eyeliner on my waterline because it always came off so easily so I didn't bother to apply it anymore. But I got a NYX eyeliner in white and thought I'd try it out since i like the silver jumbo pencil a lot... but it's kind of a disappointment because it doesn't stay on long and it's not creamy enough.

When I prefer to use which pencil...

NYX silver jumbo: inner corners, on my lower lash line when I"m not wearing any black eyeliner. [BUT I apply a lil black eyeshadow with my angled brush in the center right under my eyeballs, makes your eyes appear rounder]

MAC Chromagraphic: waterline when I prefer a more natural look; when I'm wearing black eyeliner on my lower lashline. (I usually don't put black eyeliner on my water line)

MAC Trax Dupe and eye look

So the single shadow up there is MAC Trax eyeshadow. I LOVEEEE that shade, it's one of my favourite ones, I actually like that more than Fig1... Anyway I usually wear it on my crease and the outter 1/3 of my lid.
The eye shadow quad is by Lancome, but it came in a gift with purchase. The white colour is Latte(Matte), the pink is "Kitten Heel"(shimmer), the black is Statusque(intense), and the burgandy purple [bottom right] is "Color Du Jour"(Matallic) --> Dupe of MAC Trax.

Both of them have gold flects and when I swatch them, they look exactly the same..! Again I wear this on my crease and a pink/gold on the inner lid, matte white as highlight and black on the outter V. (I forgot to apply black on outter V in my pic -_-" )

Can't express how much I love this colour..!! IT'S SO GORGEOUS I'M GOING TO DIE!! (sounds familiar? hahahh)

In my picture I wore...

Eye:

-MAC Trax on outter 1/3 lid, crease, outter 2/3 of bottom lash line (must!)

Kate Diamond Cut Eyes Quad

So When I was in HK this summer, I went to Sasa / Bonjour and noticed the Kate eyeshadow quads. They have a few different kinds of quads and I like this the most. The MAIN reason is because of that top left corner shade. Basically it's half white and half silver, but you don't actually use a brush/applicator and brush it onto your lid. You're supposed to pick it up with your finger and dab it all over your eyeshadow. They're just really big sparkles and I LOVE them... I don't actually dab it over my eyeshadow, but I put it on the C-Shape area around my eyes. (Starting from the brow bone, to the temples, and the cheekbones) I think it looks SO pretty :)

I got the brown quad and this is what I think about it:

- Super pigmented (very impressed) & good quality for a decent price

- very versatile colours

- really good applicators (a pointy side so you can use it for smaller areas of eyes)

When I went on my Shanghai trip, this is what I brought with me. Didn't bring any brushes, the applicators work well for waterline and Outter-V :) I think this quad is really versatile, it'll suit on most skin tones.
