This is my evening look from yesterday. I used the Color Plush Eyeshadow in Sapphire Siren. This one is by far my favourite palatte in the whole collection! It's very metallic and looks amazing with my eye colour! I got a ton of compliments on it. I applied the highlight colour on my entire brow bone, the greenish colour on the whole lid, the dark blue colour in the outer corner of my eyes and blended towards the centre, and used the black as the eyeliner for my top lash line.

This is from awhile ago but I have been so busy and then was away for the past few weeks so I am just getting the chance to post now. I got this look using the Legendary Lilac. I used the lightest colour as the brow bone highlighter, the second colour as the lid colour, the third colour as the crease shade and the darkest as the outer corner colour.

Today I used the Carbon Frost Colour Pearls Marble Eye shadow. I used the marble side for my whole lid then the gray side for the outer corner. I think so far this one might be my favourite colour for work. I like the smokey eye and the way the marble side of this shadow shows up and actually looks marbled.

This is the fourth look using the Maybelline Eye Studio collection. This look was done by my sister yesterday. She used the Legendary Lilac quad to create the look. Makeup: Eyeshadow: Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Plush quad in Legendary Lilac

This was my Saturday Eye Studio Look with everything on my eyes from the new collection. The eyeliner I used on my bottom lash line is the very black gel liner. It was very easy to apply and went on really smooth and really nice. It's not at all what I was expecting. I do own gel eyeliner in a different brand and its more of a pain to apply, so I rarely ever use it. I think the very black is a little too dark and harsh for me for everyday, so my sister may get it instead of me. I like more gray shades since I have blue eyes unless I am going out at night and need something more dramatic. The eyeshadow is the sinful sinnamon which I absolutely love. I didn't think it would look great at first because it is a pinkish red colour. I thought it would make me look like I had pink eye, but it goes on like a very natural colour. It looks better on than in the palatte. I love the sparkle in this one and its not too bright that I can't wear it to work every day. Makeup: Eyeliner - Ma...

This was my look 2 on Thursday! I couldn't get blogger to work for me the past few days so today is catch up day! I was also having issues with my camera and the battery died on me so I don't think the macro worked, hence why the pic is blurry and out of focus. I used the irresistibly ivy eye studio quad and love the colour combo! I wore it to work and felt a bit like a light bright though. I know its listed in the neutrals but that green is anything but neutral. I do like the look just not sure how practical it is for work. I guess I can get away with it though because I am younger, and depending on what I wear it may suit the occasion. I did do a photoshoot after that I used this same eye makeup for and it worked out very well. The only thing I find is the sparkles in this line end up falling underneath my eyes and I have sparkle rimmed eyes, but I am in love with how glittery everything in the kit is.

Today I used the Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Pearls in Khaki Craze. The rest of my eye makeup was my own since I was headed to work and don't have a ton of time to test out the gel liners in the morning. That will be more of a weekend project when I have th e time to spend on creating some interesting looks and not something toned down for work. I really like the amount of shimmer in this eyeshadow, as well as its staying power. I still have it on now and it looks as great as when I did it this morning. There is a little bit of creasing, but I have naturally oily skin and all eyeshadow by the end of the day has creased, some moreso than others.I can't wait to try more in the collection!

Today I received my maybelline eye studio look box from Matchstick!! I am soooo excited and can hardly wait to try out everything in the kit! I have already picked out a few favourites just based on colour alone, and there are a few that aren't bold enough for me but I will keep quiet until I actually try some different looks before saying for sure which are my favourite. I can't wait until the weekend so I can have some fun with this one!!
