Victorian Disco Review part II

please excuse the long wait on this wonderful review....i just got around to doing it. Ive been super busy with work/kiddos/life i havent had time to swatch...but i did it last night!!!

So i am on beautylish and ran across the lovely Smashley S. Owner of Victorian Disco Cosmetics and she was looking for people to do trials for her beautiful eyeshadows and glitters!! I jumped at the chance to do this!!
you can find part one of the review here.

This review is over yoda's yoga mat, do the jabba jabba and a cosmetic glitter in predator. I love these colors. I though they would be too bright for me...but on my skin they look really nice. maybe ill have a look up of them soon.


sorry about the sideways ones...they reverted back when i uploaded them.
here is predator, do the jabba jabba and yodas yoga mat. The top is over too faced shadow insurance the botton is bare skin. I really love the light wash yym gives on bare skin and it looks darling over primer. Its a nice light green with a golden shimmer-y shift kinda. do the jabba jabba is a  nice bright yellow. it does have some shimmer to it. again its gorgeous either way but i love it over tfsi. Predator is a nice red base glitter with silver/gold glitters. this definatly needs to be applied over a primer or glitter glue. As you can tell...it barely stayed on bare skin but stuck to that primer. I took a shower right after i did these swatches and had to scrub on my hand to get the colors off.





I definatly recommending going out and getting Victorian Disco Cosmetics. You can find her on etsy here and on   facebook here.

well they we have it ladies and gents. A big thank you again to Ashley for letting me participate in these trials...expect an order from me after the holidays!!!
thanks for checking out this review!!

until next time,

eotd...the first brown fall.

So today is my day off and what better to do then do some updating. this is my look from last night. I was inspired by the nice cool temperature and wanted something soft and elegant.
half smile...

no flash.
This is just a soft neutral look i decided to do on a lovely early fall day. I used mineralface fx and darling girl cosmetics shadows.
mineralface fx i used jedi which is a soft brownish color with a slight blue tint. This was used as my all over lid color. In my crease i decided to go with darling girl cosmetics in valiant. Its a gorgeous deep taupe-y shimmer. Its lovely. I also used darling girl cosmetics in dr pepper cake which to me looks like shimmery watered down dr pepper with gold/purple sparklies. This was used as my under eye liner. I also tend to use a shadow since pencil liner always smudges.

I topped this look off with 2 different black liners on my waterline: rimmel soft kohl liner in black and covergirls liquiline blast in black also. curled my lashes and and applied to coats of maybelline falsies in blackest black. I know its bad but the other way i can make this particular mascara look good is by pumping the wand. i hate doing it but i also hate having to waste mascara. oh well, live and learn.


I also used hard candy sheer envy primer, udpp, elf concealer in light, mineralface fx powder in medium light, elf bronzer in golden, and hard candy baked blush in pin up. On my lips i acutally just used some vaseline and a dollop of darling girl cosmetics holo-gloss in zombie. Its a pretty cranberry with blueish shimmer.

Thats all. I really liked this look and hope you do also.

 Thanks for checking in.

 until next time,

EOTD: pokerface and lovegame.

so far i have done pretty well at updating daily. I have some things i would like to start posting but for now, im still going with eye of the day. Its easy and painfree.
didnt have much planned today, just my son's dr. appt and my daughters ballet recital...both went extremely well. I wanted something bright and fun and i figured since I love purple and pink i would go with those colors.

I used my mineral face fx again...i promise once school is back in session i will get swatches and reviews up of all the colors i have. These colors are both from the lady gaga collection.
pokerface is a purpleish with a very pretty pink/silver glitter. Lovegame is super sparkly pink with silver glitter.
I used the same liner and mascara as the other looks this week. also used elf bronzer again since its too hot for a full face.
Lovegame is on the entire lid, pokerface in the crease. I also used my nyx glitter palette in paradise. out of the 5 colors i used to black sparkles.
no flash so this is the true look.
Thanks for checking it out. Ill have another look posted tomorrow.

EOTD...iron man goes frolicking through the spanish moss

I was organizing my makeup case and came across some colors i havent seen in awhile!! I am a member of a moms only forum Cafemom and have met a wonderful mother/entrepreneur named Laurie who runs her own mineral makeup company Mineralface FX. She has wonderful products and her colors are amazing!!

These particular colors are from 2 different collections, The spring 2011 and superfriends. The silver is Iron Man and the green is called Spanish Moss. Ill be doing a review on her company soon. but until then here is my eye of the day
  
spanish moss and iron man
all products used today.
    Its still way to hot out to do a whole face look. I just used my elf bronzer, eyeliner, mascara and shadow.
I really like this combo together. silver and green together are awesome!!
no flash. i really like how this turned out!!
Ill be trying to do a look everyday this week so stay tuned.
Thanks for checking it out!!!
