EOTD ft. Paul & Joe palette & Yukiumi Nails ♥ [pic heavy!]

EOTD
featuring the Paul and Joe Smoke and Mirrors Eye Color Palette III that the lovely miss Sheila got me! ♥ This is my first P&J product, and I'm loving it (: The shadows are super silky and and pigmented. Very pretty neutral shades; a shimmery pale tan and dusky light brown, and an auburnish dark brown shade.
These are Red Cherry lashes #46 and Geo Angel Brown circle lenses.


What I used:
  • ELF Brightening e/s quad [Butternut] - #4 all over lid, above crease
  • ELF Brightening e/s quad [Drama] - #5 on inner and outer corner of lid, above crease
  • Shade #2 and 3 above #5, blended
  • Shade #1 and 6 [Lancome Bikini Golden] - below brow highlight, blended
  • Not pictured - Rimmel Exaggerate [black] to tightline & line waterline, NYX eye pencil [black] to line lashline, NYX Felt tip liner pen [dark brown] to line lashline and create winged outer corner. Also used to "draw" on the illusion of false lashes.
In other news...

I received a set of nails from Yukiumi a few days ago ♥

In addition to their gorgeous, hand-decorated nails, they also offer decoden parts, asian cosmetics, clothing, and circle lenses.

Disclosure: these products were sent to me by Yukiumi (R). I am not paid by or affiliated with this company, I was sent these products for free and this is my honest opinion and experience with it.

This is the Sparkling Ribbons nails in size Small.

I fell in love with these when I first laid eyes on them.... I love pink, sparkles, ribbons, and rhinestones. They're so cute! Even cuter in real life! The only thing I don't like is that they're kind of long. I'm not use to wearing fake nails so I would prefer it if they were shorter.

They fit rather well but I still had to file some of the sides down a bit. The good thing is that they lay flat against my nail, unlike the ones I deco'd.

*Edit: forgot to note that I took these nails off right after I took these pics, because I cannot function properly with them on :P I used this cheap (I think it was Kiss? Or Nailene?) nail glue, and to take off the nails, I just soaked them in warm water and popped them off easily. That's the good part about the crappy nail glue I used, it's easy to take off. So I'm not sure how long they would stay on if I left them on, since I didn't use the nail glue they provided.. I think that one is really strong.

Please excuse my camwhoring :PThese were some of those horribly yellow-orange pics. I tried color correcting them but they ended up kinda dull-colored. Oh well, at least they're pretty sharp.

Hope you're all having a great week!

  3. the nails are cute! How long do they last? Do you use regular glue? I always have trouble keeping nails glued on. After long showers or washing dishes, they last maximum 3 days.

  4. Oooh! I want me your skin!! It looks so pretty and glowy. I'm so J. Haha!!!
    Those nails look killer cute! I always look at her nails but I've never bought any.
    I wanted to go to Cali and get my nails done at Hime Nails. Like how cute the name has 'Hime' in it!!! =]
    I've never worn those types of nails good... I guess the quality stuff really makes a difference. My fake nails always pop off or get stuck in my hair. Gotta always be something embarrassing. >__<
    Long nails drive me crazy. I always get them long when I do acrylics then I start going nuts and wanting to rip them off a few days after.

  6. nice EOTD!

    You should try changing the white balance on your camera to fluorescent. the new cybershots have two different fluorescent light settings and one of them should work :)

  7. I love your double-winge-ed eyelining! Heck, the whole looks is beautiful. Wow, those false nails have got to be the cutest I have ever seen, but I get what you mean about having nails that long and not being able to function properly. :)

  21. Love the eye and you are stunning! I don't think your new cam is that bad at all- it looks like it picks up good lighting.

  22. Looks amazing, Erynn. :D I like those pics you took with your boyfriend though. ^___^ Really cute.

    I've looked at those nails before but they're sort of out of my price range...xD Plus, I don't think I can do things normally when I wear fake nails. I hope you get your camera baby back soon. >___<

  28. Okay, one thing about Yukiumi, I tried ordering contacts from them, they emailed me and told me they couldn't send them to me because I used a different shipping address. On the site it gives you the option to do that. But they didn't tell me that until I asked, why didn't I get my package? On their site it said thanks for ordering, it'll be there in two weeks. Then, their site says that if you email them they'll reply in less than 24 hours. I've been emailing them all week asking them to send the contacts to the billing address, wondering if they still charged the credit card, and wondering if I'll get the contacts. They are horribly unprofessionel, and if it's a possibilty by what you want elsewhere. I give them a -7 out of 5.
