Eyeko Part Two-ish

***Giveaway, Giveaway, Giveaway***

Okay, so yesterday..or this morning? I realized that my Eyeko post was a little half-baked/half-assed, therefore, I decided to delve deeper into the Liptastiks and such.  I forgot to add that the name "Liptastiks" kind of drives me bonkers.  It's like the equivalent of asking for some stupid breakfast special in the makeup world.  Like, yes, I want the Wakey, Wakey Eggs and Bakey special with a side of Liptastiks...oy vey.  Otherwise, no complaints :)
  So, I got all three because it was a deal and I have to say my favorites are "Lip Lover" and "Hot Lips." Loud Mouth has a little less pizzaz than the other two, not to say I wouldn't wear it.  The formulas are super creamy and surprisingly, stay put.  I was wearing Lip Lover for a number of hours and it still stayed super vibrant even with drinking and eating pomegranate seeds on a very long bus ride I may have mentioned...

 Lip Lover

 Loud Mouth

Hot Lips

 Hot Lips, Loud Mouth, Lip Lover.  I think that in natural lighting Hot Lips looks a lot more plum.  Loud Mouth, again is a pretty basic pink/rosy color and Lip Lover is a very orangey red. If you were thinking of getting them, I recommend just getting all three because Eyeko has a little deal where it's three for the price of two ($20).  I actually received an extra one because of typing in a beauty-insider or whatever Eyeko calls it code, which I know some bloggers advertise, but, if you haven't seen it, you can take a number off of the video explaining the program on their website.

Eyeko Cream with Extra Glow! I was wearing it on my face in these pictures and here's just a little sample of it rubbed into my arm.  Love it!
  So, here's a little deeper taste of my beloved Eyeko products that are reasonably priced (yay) probs because they're geared more to the teen crowd, but who really cares about that? I'll likely go into more detail about their liners and fat balm later.  Until then...

Wings So Long I'll Likely Take Flight

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.

Closeup on my eye, *twilight zone music cue*

 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 :)
