Sultry Gray & Plum Cat Eyes

Posted on by

I took this pic before I realized I needed a gloss touch up! *lol*

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to show you all one of the looks I created with the NYX I Dream of Barbados Palette. I’m in love with all of these colors!  I’m not big on wearing pinks and purples on my eyes but I do like it on a rare occasion. I do plan on doing some Valentines Day inspired looks as well as a few looks that are appropriate for the winter. I’m thinking a Snow Bunny look is in order for January 2011 with the NYX I Dream of Barbados Palette!  In the meantime, I created a Gray/Plum smokey eye and a cool toned pink lip.  I will be doing a full review on this NYX palette after I do my “Snow Bunny” look. I will say, though I’ve only used 3 of the 5 colors, I do like what I’m seeing.

I adore this palette because all the colors are cool toned but flattering. I’m glad I found a great pale pink gloss that was complementing.  I love Smashbox’s lip gloss in Pout almost as much as I love MAC’s Fashion Scoop. Fashion Scoop is wearable all year round where I find that Pout is only wearable in the wintertime. It just seems a bit much to wear on a hot 90 degree day, ya know??

Below in this piccy, I’m wearing Smashbox’s Pout on my lips.

As you can see from the pictures, I did a smokey cat eye. Cat eyes are a bit new to me…I never really wore my makeup this way but it’s a nice change…. definitely adds more of a sexy & sultriness  to the look. *rawr* <–LOL!

Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season! Three more days!!! Gosh, I remember when the eBay countdown said “53 days” ahh!!

NYX For Your Eyes Only-Smokey Eyes

Posted on by

It doesn’t get any better than these luscious & sultry colors. I have a few gripes about this palette but overall, I really love it. I’ll start with the cons and leave the best for last. The number one thing I dislike is the fact that it has crazy fall out! No matter how many times I tap off the excess color before applying to my eye, there is always some crazy fall out. I’m always sure to apply concealer AFTER using these shadows. Because of the massive amount of fall out, I would not recommend using these colors to line your lash line-you’re asking for trouble. The color doesn’t hold up too well. Number two-pigmentation, the colors aren’t as vibrant as I had hoped but after all, this palette was only $11.00 so what do you expect?!

Having said that I do believe that for $11.00 you get a lot of smokey versatile colors. There are unless possibilities & countless looks you can create with this palette. It’s really a smokey eyes lover’s dream.  Personally, I don’t mind the fall out…I also am the proud owner of the Urban Decay Naked Palette, it’s obviously a more expensive palette however, the colors have insane fall out too.

I did a tutorial using this NYX palette (which will go up tomorrow) and I’m very happy with the quality & results I got using these lovely colors. This Smokey palette reminds me of a palette that Bobbi Brown released last Holiday season-lots of beautiful smokey/ taupe/ pewter colors…I wanted it-badly. It was $75.00. It was majorly gorg but I honestly could not justify spending that much on ONE palette.

Overall, I am satisfied with this products-as with most of my NYX products. Decent quality for cheap! I’d have to say I like NYX second best to MAC-that says ALOT.
