MAC Give Me Liberty of London

Hi Everyone :)

How is everyone doing? I hope you're well :)

Today i prepared something different for you, i went all out on my photoshop and created a cute little image for you that represents the new line Mac has released "Give me Liberty of London".

The reason i even did the make up was because i did the nails that were presented in the pictures for the new line. I thought they were so cute so i pulled out my O·P·I Alpine Snow and some designing nail polish pencils i got on eBay and they turned out exactly like on the original picture! lol What do you think?

So after doing the nails i figured why not go all out and do the make up to go along with it :D

Here is the photoshopped picture:



Here is the pictures of my full nails



I think they are so freakishly adorable haha :D :P

and here are the other views of the actual makeup, unfortunately i didn't go shopping so i didn't get the products from MAC's new line, to do my make up with



and here...



And here is what i used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk as base and in waterline
120 Palette (for whites, oranges, yellows)
MAC e/s in Dazzle Light as highlight
L'Oreal Telescopic Liquid Eyeliner (Black)
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

I hope you like this funky look :)

and if any of you tried MAC's new line... what do you think about it?

Hope to hear from you, i am always so happy to see comments from you :D :D :D

XOXO

MUG Store

Hi Everybody :)

I have made some purchases at the MUG (Make Up Geek) store and I wanted to share those with you since I am very excited and i really like those products :)

The actual products pictures are not my pictures, these are originals from the MUG Store, I kinda forgot to take pictures and i'm posting this while i'm at school LOL

Here are some swatches and quick overall reviews on them.

First: Ben Nye Pigments

Blues and Greens




1. Cosmic Blue
2. Jade
3. Turquoise

Reds and Pinks




1. Azalea
2. Cosmic Violet
3. Cherry Red
4. Golden Apricot

Golds




1. Sun Yellow
2. Aztec Gold
3. Iced Gold

Colous are very vibrant and they wear extremely looooong, even if you don't use a primer (it takes a while till they slide down your hand) they will definitely not wear long without any sort of primer but they look vibrant either way, here on the swatch, pigments are set on Urban Decay Primer Potion, with the primer (of any sort) they were actually quite hard to take of. I tried to take them of with water by itself, didn't work, I had to use soap to remove them. The colours are build-able also so you can wear a thin or a thick layer. There is also a wide range of colours to choose from. Knock yourself out!!! :D


Second: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils and NYX Glitter Liner




1. NYX Glitter Liner in Silver
2. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean
3. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

Those NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils are absolutely essential to any make up artist, I LOVE THEM. They are amazing for a base underneath any eyeshadows or pigments of any brand. You do need to wear an actual Primer underneath them because they will crease. They are very creamy and without a primer may just melt into your skin. You can use them in waterline. Also using an eyeliner brush (by picking up some product from the top), you can line your upper and lower eyelid.
I have realized that its very hard to sharpen them because they are very wide, however there is a very easy way to depot them, watch out for a tutorial video on that ;)
Even after depoting them it's very easy to line your waterline with them, simply by using eyeliner brush to dip into the pot, container, whatever you choose to depot it into :) I also find them much easer to use when they are depoted. Besides you don't waste any product that way, whenever you sharpen them product gets thrown away along with the shavings.

NYX Glitter Liner is also very vibrant and it wears all day, the glitter is very dense so just one stroke gives you a lot of product, it is very vibrant as you can see. It is simply a glitter line this is why there is not much to say except for how dense it is and how long it lasts haha :) OH YEAH! It has a cute tassel :D


Third: NYX Blush in Natural





This blush is just such a joy to wear :) such a light texture and it's easy to put on, very pigmented (this colour is one of the lightest there is, that's because i'm so pale lol), it wears for a long time, I had to re-aply it only once at around 8 pm when i put in on first at 8 am, so it lasts about 12 hours.
There is a very wide range of colours and trust me all skin types can be matched :)



So there you have it :) I hope i answered at least some of your questions you might have had about any of the products. If you have any more questions DO NOT hesitate to ask :)

Thanks for reading, I hope you're having an amazing week

XOXO

Greek Goddess

Hello Everyone :)

Here is another look I have created tonight :) I really like it and i might just wear it more often :P
It was veeeeeeeeery easy and it literally took me like 10 minutes. I decided to do something more creative with the eyeliner this is why you can see a bit of a hill in the middle of the eye, and the 3 little dots at the end give it a unique touch. I was going for the ancient Greece feel by adding the gold powder on my cheek and gold lips.

Here it is, the "whole" face :P (i only did half because i was wearing something else on my other half LOL):



Here is the eye itself:







For the face I used:
Base - Faces' Perfecting Skin Smoother
Foundation - Faces' Dual Powder in 650
Eyebrows - Urban Decay Brow Box in Honey Pot
Blush - Sephora Coral Frisson n°5
Lips - CoverGirl Wetslicks AmazeMint in Everything's Rosy i sprinkled it with a gold eyeshadow (120 palette)

Eye:
Base - Urban Decay Primer Potion
Urban Decay BOS II:
Sphynx (lid and inner courner)
Half Baked (above crease)
YDK and Twice Baked (crease and bottom lid)
Sellout (highlight)
Upper lid eyeliner - Faces Liquid Eyeliner in Black #1
Waterline - Uraban Decay 24/7 Eye pencil in Bourbon and Zero
Mascara - L'Oreal Voluminous in Carbon Black

So here you have it.

I hope you like it and i'm looking forward to your comments and suggestions :D :D :D

I hope all of you have a great week ahead of you :D

XOXO
