FOTD : Kat Von D Evelyn Palette & NYX Transylvania - 7/24/2014

keeping on with the roll, I have another FOTD, plus a small haul. I went to Ulta today because I was having a really bad day(week) and decided to see if they had the NYX macaron lippies in the store - negative. Good news, there were new colors of the soft matte lip creams to poke at. I got one to see, and there are few more I would love, plus there are new normal matte lipstick shades now! As I was wandering around with my new lippie I found some clearanced nail polishes, SCORE! So I picked up Josie, Sunshine (pixie dust) , and Chita (pixie dust). The best part of the day was there were clearanced from 8.00 to 1.97 but when I got to check out they actually range up for .98 I believe. I purchased everything for under ten dollars! That sure made my week a little brighter.

This is the first day all week that my husband has noticed or at least said anything about my makeup. I walked into his office when I picked him up from work and all he had to say was "You look dark." For the life of me, I couldn't just take a "normal" photo but I think these show off the makeup well enough so here they stay!

What I used:


Face
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure
Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 115 Ivory
ELF High Definition Powder


Eyes
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Kat Von D Evelyn Palette
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Demolition
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express
ELF Eyebrow Kit in Dark

Lips
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania


What do you think? Will you be running out to Ulta to score some nail poishes or checking out some new NYX products? I think the lip cream could have been a little bit nicer if I used a lipliner first, c'est la vie!






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

 Swatches

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?
