In honor of my amazing eyeshadow find (120 colors!), I've decided to break out of my neutral shadow rut and to try more colorful looks. So I will using a different color in my palette every day for the next 120 days (that's 4 months!).
Today I decided to go with pale purple. Why, I'm not sure, especially since I was wearing dark teal all day. But whatever, it's Saturday. Here are my awesome lids:
Let me just mention that I took this picture hours after I applied it, at the end of the day. And it only took a small swipe with those spongy eyeshadow brushes to look like this.
Ok, ok, I know it's been lightyears since my last post, but you'll forgive me when you see these pictures. I was at Walgreens yesterday (looking for dark blue nail polish) and found the product that will change my life forever. I'm not just saying that, either. I predict I will use this every day for the next 10 years.
Intrigued? It's this eyeshadow palette from Profusion Cosmetics (yeah, I'd never heard of them either) that has....... 120 shadows.....! It was only $10, so I figured, hey, what the heck? I needed some new eyeshadows anyway. I'm profoundly bored with my usual sands, coppers, golds, and browns. I wasn't really expecting the quality of these shadows to be that spectacular (I mean, there's 120 of them in one palette!). But um, I was so wrong. They are vibrant, highly pigmented, and shimmery almost to the point of being metallic! All things I LOVE in eyeshadows, but can never seem to find quite to my liking. The package says these are "sheer", but there's not really anything sheer about them. Except maybe sheer joy.
Wow, gotta calm down. I looked this makeup company up, but this product is not available online. So you better run, run, run to Walgreens right now. This will save you some serious dough, beat your beige shadow boredom, and basically make every day happy until you run out of shadow. Which will be..... never.
Go!
Now let's talk about what shades of lipstick go with this eye look. Personally, I don't like anything even remotely colored on my lips when I'm wearing blue on my eyes. I feel like a sad remnant of the 80s. So today I chose the only nude lipstick I own (I know, I know.... I'm really more of a colored lipstick kind of girl, so this eyeshadow challenge is hard for me!). I just bought it last week, and it's Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Nude Blush, which I love. I also love the fact that I got this lipstick at Dollar Tree for..... you guessed it! A dollar! More about Dollar Tree finds tomorrow.....
