I think it came out a lot better, but then again, all my looks from a year ago looked downright scary! I hadn’t started using products in my crease, and I’m not sure I even attempted to blend. Oh what a difference a year can make!!! :D

    For actual Valentine’s Day I did a purple look I often fall back on… Beautiful Iris, Satellite Dreams, Fertile, and Shroom. Didn’t take any pictures.

MAC Stars N’ Rockets eyeshadow over it looks gorgeous! Usually on it’s own or over a neutral paint pot it’s a very pinky-purple color, but over Blackground the blue duochrome really comes out!

It applied as a very bright yellow gold on my lids, which kind of disappointed me since it’s a orange-y pink in the container. I won’t give up on it, though, still a nice product.

    I might have two version to this look, day and night. This is the day version. I am going out with friends tonight so I’m going to freshen up my makeup and maybe make it a bit darker. So the night version will be posted in a few days when I’m back!

    So that’s the “day version.” Hopefully I can create some sort of night version out of it :)

    Anyways, last post for a few days as I’ll be away from my computer!

I was going out with a few friends, and it was about 20 degrees out, so quite chilly! So I figured this would be the chance to try out Warm Chill. The “Shop Your Stash” thread on specktra has really pushed me to start using stuff that I have never touched before, and Warm Chill, Bottle Green, and Goldmine were 3 products I had yet to use.

    Might as well do Christmas looks when I can, right? :D

    Yesterday I did a look with MAC Henna eyeshadow all over my lid, MAC Bronze eyeshadow in the crease, and MAC Ricepaper Eyeshadow to highlight. I was iffy on it, and so I didn’t take any pictures.

    I called the post office today, and it turns out my package of empty pans were sitting in the back room. Apparently, they weren’t going to deliver them?! LOL. I have no idea, but I guess they’re going to throw them in the mail for tomorrow. So eventually I should be able to press my pigments!
