This day (Thursday) I went shopping with mi mama at Nordstom for the Anniversary Sale, so of course I had to go all dramatic with the winged eyeliner :) This is just my basic look pretty much:
Benefit's Posietint,
Urban Decay Liquid Liner in
Perversion, Makeup Forever Lipstick in
205, and the base eyeshadow color was
Covergirl Eye Enhancer in
Golden Sunrise. I used
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in
Lucky on my waterline, above my black liner to clean it up and finally, I swooped it from my waterline underneath the black. It's a different take on the "popular" double winged cat's eye and I really loved the way this turned out.
Not to be going on about how great I look, haha, jk, jk, I used
Benefit's That Gal Primer all over my face under my foundation to give myself a rosier glow.

Because I was at le mall of AMERICA! I stopped at Sephora and got some new fun purchases and restocks. For instance, I was out of my
UD De-Slick, which works wonders for touching up and de-slicking excess day face oil. I had my old one since they invented the stuff and it has lasted that long. A fab product for sure! I really wanted to try Makeup Forever's new Aqua Liners. I tested them out today and the liner literally stays on though everything. I'm talking excessive sweating from learning how to ride a bike (true story) and a dance party with extreme interpretive dancing to Bohemian Rhapsody. The only downfall is that the brush is a little hard to control, so my lines weren't as precise as I like them to be. I think with practice, this aspect will improve.
TOKIDOKI lipgloss! I really like Tokidoki makeup products. I loved their handbags since their invention and I feel like their makeup really fits their overall brand. It seems like not a ton of people use their makeup though...
OHHHHH, and I got some really cool new Chanel makeup, which will be posted about later, so be prepared. AND I'm thinking once I hit 50 followers I'll have a lovely little giveaway for all the fab and beautiful and talented followers of my blog. Thanks so much for the support and lovely comments. I read them all and really appreciate everything, so hopefully a giveaway will be an acceptable token of my appreciation :)

Man, you certainly weren't kidding. Those wings are like woah!
ReplyDeleteLove the wings.
ReplyDeleteAre you using the De-Slick spray or tube version? I just bought the spray from my local Sephora and it's not working all the great for me :(
ReplyDeleteI de-slick shown here is the powder-compact form. I use it for touchups and oil removal during the day. But, I also use the spray to set my makeup in the morning. It seems to always work for me, but not cool that it's not working for you :/. Do you set your makeup with a translucent powder before spraying? and do you use primer before makeup application?
ReplyDeleteYes, I use a primer before make up and I also set it with a translucent powder before trying to use the spray. Now I kinda dunno what I should do with my spray. LOL. I look even shinier with it :O
ReplyDeleteLOVE the winged eyes, and tokidoki!
ReplyDeleteACK! Stressssss that the spray isn't working, but depending on how insane my skin is it can sometimes look a little shinier. I think just the normal all-nighter spray works better than the de-slick version. The powder is the way to go :)
