Super Lazy Space Cow FOTD - 1/20/15

*I had a different blog post planned for Tuesday and I lost my notes that I needed to type up so now I will have to redo everything before I can share it with you. That got me all discombobulated because I spent so much time looking for it so I never got anything done until today. Bad blogger!*

I wanted to wear some makeup, but didn't really want to be bothered. Makes sense, no? I pulled out my binder of indie shadows and looked for a nice purple all over wash of color type shade. I decided Femme Fatale's Space Cow was just that shade. Femme Fatale's website describes this shade as: a soft lavender eye shadow tinged with grey and highlighted by a muted reddish pink shimmer. Personally I find it to be a nice pastel blue leaning lavender with a pretty light blue and pink shift.

What I used:
Korres Mattifying Primer
Revlon Colorstay Foundation - 110 Ivory & 150 Buff
ELF High Definition Powder
Benefit-  Dandelion
Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick - Sydney
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Cannes
ELF Eyebrow Kit - Dark
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
LASplash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base
Wet n Wild - Brulee
Femme Fatale - Space Cow

What do you think?

I really love being lazy with my makeup because that means I can wear it more often and still have time for life. Beautiful indie shadows with a nice duochrome really make for a nice look without much effort.

A+

What's your favorite duochrome indie shadow?

Everyday is an adventure.

Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Swatches

Finally. I have had this post done forever and just never published it. No reason. So lets just get this started! =]

I just want to start out by saying I love these. Seriously I can't tell you enough about how wonderful they are, but I will try anyway. I was never very good at applying eyeliner properly. I once tried a gel liner and thought I found my holy grail. Then I tried these and I think this is my new holy grail eyeliner! When I first tried them I was very much intimidated. Once these are set they are -SET- I was very much afraid that with my lack of skills and the seeming permanence of these just made it so they sat in a container with all my eyeshadow brushes longing to create a beautiful graphic winged liner on my face. One night I must have been insane because I thought I could actually use these successfully. (see here and here)To my surprise I did and an unhealthy love/obsession was born. I have six of the eleven colors:

Radium - bright blue with silver sparkle
Sabbath - deep matte navy
Smog - deep brown with golden shimmer and iridescent sparkle
Demolition - deep matte brown
Retrograde - dark purple with purple sparkle
Perversion - carbon black

Top to Bottom - Radium, Sabbath, Smog, Demolition, Retrograde, Perversion

applicator

 Swatches

swatched over bare skin - no primer

Top - Radium, Smog, Retrograde

Bottom - Sabbath, Demolition, Perversion

Top - Radium, Smog, Retrograde

Bottom - Sabbath, Demolition, Perversion

What do you think of these Urban Decay eyeliners? What is your favorite color?

Do you prefer a different eyeliner medium (pencil, gel, etc)? Have any tips or trick?
