Do You Sea Those Green Eyes?

Wow, when I blog I really think I am so funny. I know I’m really not, sorry guys for all my lame jokes haha.

In fact I do not have green eyes, and yeah I spelled see like the water (sea) as a play on words about a sea green coloured eye makeup look. Was it funny? Probably not. Does it look good though? I think so.

I used Wet N Wild i-Shimmer retractable eye pencil. It is a sea green eyeliner with sparkle in it, and is called number 969 or 696, since it is a pencil I cannot tell which way is up or down. I really like the smooth creamy feel of this pencil, and although generally I make a mess with eyeliner this one was fairly easy to use.

I used Wet N Wild “color icon” eye shadow in Pride. This is a six colour set, including three matte shadows and three high-pigment shadows. They are also in the sea green and blue range, and it is no wonder because I bought the two products together. There are two whites, one shimmer one not, and the shimmer seems a slightly off white almost cream or ivory. Then two sea greens, one with shimmer that is a bit more dull where as the matte one is brighter (hence the high-pigment). Then there are two navy blues, one with shimmer one not, but in this case I think the shimmer one is slightly brighter and the matte more dull. 

I only used the sea green shimmer shadow in this eye look. I think what really makes it is the mascara. This mascara is wonderful, but only a sample size. I got it as a gift with purchase at Clinique (where I buy face wash and such) and now I know to always plan my purchases. I have gotten great luck every single time I get a free sample size mascara from Clinique. I literally live of them. They are my favourite mascara but much too expensive for me to buy a full size tube. I just wait and plan my face wash buying until there is a gift with purchase.

This on is called Clinique “high impact” mascara. I just really love everything about it. The colour is 01 Black and the brush is amazing. It applies super thick, but not in a clumpy way. It always makes me look like I have such dark, full, lush lashes. they look so long and healthy too. The other thing about this mascara is that it does not look too fake. Like I said, they look dark and full, but they do not look like each individual lash is perfectly defined, which I find could look fake.

So, there we have it, my makeup for the other day.

What do you guys think?

Wild at Heart Captured My Heart

022

This is my second holo ever, it is also Color Club. It is called Wild at Heart, and I have heard many good things about it, even on my last holo post in a comment.

I love the rainbow of glittery colours that show up on this wonderful rich purple background. From a distance you can see the multi-colour holo effect all over the polish. From close up you can see each individual glittery piece (see below).

The first finger you can see the pieces very individually and clear, even though it is blurry. As the fingers move on (second) you can see how they start to blend together. Once you reach the third finger in this image you see the holo effect all together as one polish.

I am really loving holo polishes, I know I am late on the trend but I just got them and love them! Thanks again Elizabeth!

Featured Follower Friday - 2

Wow, a week come and gone so fast! University life is really busy, I can't believe it. It feels like I just started school yesterday but it really has been nearly a month! And now it is Friday again, so I have another Featured Follower to show you today!

This week it goes to…

KarenD

KarenD has a wonderful blog called Frazzle and Aniploish and it really is one of my favourites. I always see great swatches and she has something that I do not see on other blogs which is store displays!

KarenD always has the latest polish displays and collections that she spots on stores. I love seeing those because it gets me excited to see what is currently in stores and what I may be seeing on shelves soon.

Joe Fresh

Her swatch photos are so crisp and clear, and look beautiful every time. The colours are great and the photos are always so close up, which I love to see on polish blogs.

Another thing I love about this blog is the way she labels her posts. The labels go by colours, finishes, brands, techniques, and post types. It makes it super easy to look around and find things and it is so organized!

Keep it up KarenD, your blog is really nicely done and I love looking at it!
