Meow’s Pleasures

Monday, September 27th, 2010

I love Meow’s Pleasures collection, and especially the Simple Pleasures. So many beautiful and soft colors to choose from! The shadows are for sale until September 30th, so if you haven’t checked these out yet its definitely time to do so. I did two quick looks with this collection, one on each eye.

So here you have the schizophrenic me:

Without flash.

With flash.

The purple eye was done with this:

Urban Decay – Primer Potion
Meow – Barefoot (Simple Pleasures) on the entire lid
Meow – Karaoke (Simple Pleasures) on outer half of lid and in the crease
Meow – Funky Dance (Simple Pleasures) in outer v
Meow – Bubble bath (Simple Pleasures) on brow bone
Urban Decay – 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Lust on upper lash line
Urban Decay – 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Gunmetal on outer half of lower lash line
Isadora – Inliner kajal Blonde on water line
Lancome – Hypnose Precious Cells Mascara on upper lashes
Claudia – Wonderlash Mascara on lower lashes

The green look on my left eye was made using this:

Urban Decay – Primer Potion
Meow – Sale! (Simple Pleasures) on the entire lid
Meow – Soft Porn (Guilty Pleasures) in the crease and outer v, and lower lash line
Meow – Bubble bath (Simple Pleasures) on brow bone
Everyday Minerals – Smokey as eyeliner on upper lash line
Isadora – Inliner kajal Blonde on water line
Lancome – Hypnose Precious Cells Mascara on upper lashes
Claudia – Wonderlash Mascara on lower lashes

Boy do I need to practice more on photographing my eyes..

Wild At Heart

I think I first saw this polish at MakeupMyLack some time ago. I decided to get the polish, and after trying it out for the first time I was in love! This is the second time I’ve worn it and the love is still there =) It’s a holographic purple, and it sparkles in all kinds of colors in sunlight! It’s a great formula and you can get nice coverage with two coats.

In the shadow you don’t see much of the holo effect.

Direct sun, do you see all the pretty colors? This one also shows more of the red shade that this purple has.

First EOTD

Monday, September 13th, 2010

I thought I’d start out small with my first EOTD (Eye of the Day), hence the small photos =) It’s a pretty neutral makeup with a little bit of color.

Here’s what I’ve used:
Urban Decay – Primer Potion
Everyday Minerals – Good China  on the lid
Mad Minerals – Love on outer half of lid, but doesn’t really show
Aromaleigh – Imperial in the crease
Brite Bird – Cream Cat on browbone
Urban Decay – 24/7 Glide-on eye pencil in Lust on upper lash line
Claudia – Wonderlash Mascara
Viva la Diva – Mix & Match Eyebrow Colour

Oh Fashionista!

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Fashionista from H&M is one of my favorite purple polishes at the moment, so I decided to put that on. But it had gone a little thick and I totally messed up my nails. What to do? Well, why not save it with some flakies! Said and done, I chose Nfu Oh #50 which is a purple based jelly with turqoise flakes in it. It’s fairly easy to get an even coverage of the flakes. A couple of them ended up over the edge of the nails, but you can just cut them off.

Isn’t it just lovely?

After I took these photos it was cleaning time, and as you all know this involves a big risk of nails flying..

.. And I killed my thumb nail. So from here on my nails will look a little shorter, as I like to keep them even in length.

LOL

My first holographic polish ever, LOL from China Glaze OMG-collection. And boy am I in love! It’s a gorgeous darker purple, which is probably my favorite color to wear on my nails. The application is a little hard with the OMG-polishes, as the polish tends to get dragged away when you go over it a second time. But if you just take your time it’s totally worth it! I think I have three layers, which is normal for me. Unfortunately the sun didn’t want to come out and play while I was taking the photos, so I had to make do with artificial light.

Kitty aproves of LOL. Taken outside in the shadow.

Photo with flash. I hope you can see some of the holographic goodness going on here.

Vintage Mint with a touch of Blueberry Milk

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

This is an old NOTD from April. I usually don’t wear creme polishes, but I thought I had to try some of the new colors that came out this spring. This is Isadora’s Vintage Mint, and Viva La Diva’s mini polish no. 13 (Blueberry Milk) on the ring finger. Unfortunately I didn’t get along at all with Vintage Mint; the formula was quite thick and the brush didn’t make the application any easier. The other polish was a little easier, but still a bit difficult to get even. I guess it looks good at a distance though =)

Vintage Mint is a darker mint green color, and Blueberry Milk is a purple pastel. They are nice colors to wear for spring and summer. To spice things up a bit I put on a nail sticker which I bought from DealExtreme.
