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!
