EOTD - Maybelline Eyestudio "Give Me Gold"

Here's swatches of the Maybelline Eyestudio "Give Me Gold" palette. It's quite pigmented, esp. the copper & dark brown shades! The lighter two are really shimmery... got sparkles all over my face. All the shades are super soft and silky... apply nicely with minimal fallout... last rather long and appear vibrant without a primer.

Pearl white highlight shade - Very light/frosty. Super shimmery.
Yellow gold shade - Less shimmery. Pretty!
Coppery orange shade - Even less shimmer. Metallic.
Dark brown shade - Before swatching, it looked shimmery. But after you rub off the top, the shade is actually more on the matte side, with very fine shimmer.

And here is the eye look I did with this palette.

Also used:Rimmel Exaggerate to tightline & line waterline/lashline
NYX Felt tip liner pen (dark brown) to line lashline, double wing liner
L'Oreal Lineur Intense (black mica) to line lashline, double wing liner
Red Cherry Lashes #46
Geo Angel Green circle lenses

I realize the double wing came out rather shit-tastic this time... :P

EOTD/FOTD feat. Wet N Wild Color Icon Palette in "Vanity"

Hello loves! So today I decided to do a look with the Wet N Wild Color Icon palette in "Vanity," as promised : )

Here's the swatches again, for anyone who missed it!
Again, the pigmentation is fabulous and the shadows are buttery smooth. The three shades on the left of the palette are matte and the three on the right are shimmer.

So here's the look I came up with. Told ya it was similar to the Maybelline EyeStudio quad in "Give Me Gold"!

Lenses are Geo Ash Wings


I wanted to make use of all the shades, but of course you don't have to! This palette is very versatile. You could use only the matte shades or only the shimmer shades and create a nice look. Or you can combine even just one matte and one shimmer shade and still create a great look! It's an awesome palette to have because of the variety and how many uses it has. I would highly recommend it, especially because it's reasonably priced. If you're looking for a dupe of Maybelline EyeStudio "Give Me Gold," I think this is a good bet... even better, actually, because you get more bang for your buck : )

I was inspired by Jess of Oh...pretty! to Picnik my photos :D
