Purrrr-ple - FOTD/EOTD

Hello all! :)

On this lovely, springy, lazy Friday I decided I'd do a FOTD/EOTD look with some purple shadows. It's been a love/hate relationship for me with purple makeup ideas - every single time I tried to do something nice, I ended up looking a like an old lady. I love how glowy and fun it all turned out.

Also, since I'm going on a first date with someone tonight and therefore I have butterflies in my tummy and I'm super hyped, I figured playing around with my makeup will keep me busy enough.

What I've used:

Face:

- Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

- Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX Foundation in "F1/Fair"

- Smashbox High Definition Concealer in "Fair"

- Smashbox Bronze Lights in "Sunkissed Matte"

- Maybelline Dream Touch Blush  #06 - "Berry"

Eyes:

- Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer

- Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in "Mist" (#WT901)

- "Wow" (Israeli brand) Eyeshadow #12

- From the Sleek Makeup "Oh So Special" Eyeshadow Palette - "Wrapped Up"

- From Smashbox "In Bloom" Eyeshadow Pallete - "Lilly Pink"

- L'oreal Paris Super Liner in "Luminizer - Hazel Eyes"

Lips:

Now, I know the eyeliner isn't "perfect", but I'm so damn proud of myself for not getting it all over my face that I don't even care!

Have a great weekend, everyone! Hopefully, I'll update soon!

I Might Be Inlove with L'oreal Paris

So, I was wandering around one of Israel's big drugstore/pharmacy chains with my mom and we went a little shopping-crazy. I'll divide the products into different posts (since they are from different brands) and I figured I might start the "series" with my new products from the "Luminizer" line by L'oreal Paris.

I came across a lot of review posts about these products while roaming the blogsphere and after sleeping on it for a while, I realize I had to have it for myself. One of my favorite posts is actually this one!
The entire line of products is based on black-colors (I know it sounds weird, but it really means it's a black with an undertone to it) and it's divided into "eyes" - each color matches a certain eye-color, like blue eyes, hazel eyes, green eyes and brown eyes.
I have a mixture of green and blue eyes (and one eye is actuallly bluer than the other!), and so I chose not to "stick" with the colors L'oreal thought would be best for my eyes and get the ones I actually liked best (purrrrrrple).

ANYHOO....

The stuff I got are twoVolume Million Lashes mascaras in Black Amethyst (black-purple, supposed to suit hazel eyes) and Black Diamond (black-brown, supposed to suit brown eyes) and two Superline eyeliners in Black Amethyst (black-purple) and Dark Sapphire (black-blue, supposed to suit blue eyes). Here are the pictures and swatches (excuse my surprisingly good camera though, I swear the hairs on my arms are NOT that obvious in person and out of macro-shooting mode!):

Note how you can really see the blue "pop" when the light hits it. AWESOME.

And here's the Black Amethyst mascara on my eyes (and unmade-up face. I couldn't be bothered wearing makeup today, I was having a moody morning...) *Look how much bluer my right eye is*:

I got the mascaras for 119.99 NIS each (equals about 33$) and the Superline eyeliners retail at 94.99 NIS each (equals about 25$) but I got them on a "buy-one-mascara-get-one-Superline-eyeliner-for 30 NIS" sale, so they really cost me around 8$ per eyeliner. 

see y'all soon!
