Purple & Teal Eyes

Hi my gorgeous followers...

So this past Saturday 16th it was my one of my besties (mejor amiga/comadre) bday... so makeup wise, I wanted to do something a little different from the normal smokey eye and went with Purple & Teal using my Manly palette and a few of the eye shadows from the Sigma Bare palette (which I totally loved and also used to do the besties makeup) ...

Used as a 2nd base ... love this product!!

Sigma palette in BARE ... love it!!!

FACE:

Urban Decay primer for the face (I have a few scars on my face which u have probably noticed before, and this primer really helps to minimize them as the foundation doesnt sink into them)
NYC foundation
MAC mineralize highlighting powder
SLEEK contouring palette in Medium
L'Oreal blusher in Rose
INGLOT bronzing powder

EYES:

TWO FACED SHADOW INSURANCE - I freaking love this primer!!!
BARBARA DALY MAKEUP cream eye shadow pen in 'Calico' - highly recommend it!! (buy it at Tesco)
MANLY PALETTE - using a Teal colour shadow, and a purple for the outer 'V'
SIGMA PALETTE 'BARE' - used 'Act' in the crease and to help blend a little and add definition to the eye... then used 'Command' on the brow bone and in the inner corner of the eye...
RIMMEL KOHL LINER in black to line the water line
BOURJOIS LIQUID LINER in black to line the upper lashes
REVLON LASHES - really good lashes! definately be buying more of these :)

EYEBROWS:

RIMMEL EYEBROW PENCIL - in brown

LIPS:

NYX Lipgloss in Tanned & Tearose

PERFUME: (thought I wud add something extra...) what Perfume do you usually go for on a nite out???

Lady Million by Paco Rabanne (this perfume is amazing and lasts a long time, perfumes generally dont stick to me but this one does!!)

enjoy the rest of your weekend beautiful ppl...

NYX MEGA SHINE LIPGLOSS

Hola nenasssss ...

as posted on my facebook page, NYX Cosmetics where offering a Buy 1 Get 1 FREE promotion on their Mega Shine Lipglosses... so obviously JennJenn just had to go ahead and take advantage (it was right on point with pay day ... muuaahahahahah) now originally the offer was only until the 27th of June midnight (i think...or maybe 28th? sorry mind has gone blank) anywhooo... the nice people at NYX decided to exten the offer, and so the Buy 1 Get 1 FREE offer is now NYX-stended (in their words...lol love it!!) until Thursday!!! wooohhhhoooooo ::JennJenn doing the happy shuffle::

Now first of all, I placed my order on Sunday late late night, and received them this morning!! thumbs up NYX!!! as last time it kind of took almost a week! so well done, I am very impressed with the quick delivery!!!

the colours that I chose where the following:

1. POP - an Orange shade with glitter
2. TANNED - a skin colour/nude shade
3. TEA ROSE - a nice pink shade
4. AMERICAN QUEEN - almost like a deep fucia shade

I have to say, that I do really like these lipglosses, the colours are quite sheer, apart from American Queen, they smell really nice, and they leave my lips feeling super soft!!! they are not sticky and gloopy like some lipglosses are ...

My only small complain (NYX if you read this) is that POP feels type grainy on the lips, the glitter is a bit rough, however, this will not deter me from purchasing again, simply because it looks nice, and once you wipe off any of these lipglosses, your lips are still left feeling super soft! so its a very very small complaint ...

so ladies, below are a few pics... I highly recommend these lipglosses, and would really encourage you to take advantage of the offer they have going on! :)

POP is like a sheer Orange colour... perfect for this season!

American Queen reminds me of NYX Lipstick in Eucalyptus

such a cute everyday colour!

for that nude effect! Tanned is just perfect!!
