High Shine Flash

Now that I'm done with the good morning gorgeous colours I have a few new High Shine colours to try. I really like Flash, it is a soft lilac.

Good Morning Gorgeous: Saturday and Sunday

Honestly I thought I would like Sunday the least out of this set but it is actually a really interesting colour. It is matte and a kind of nudish pink brown. Because it has so much pink in it it looks good with purples. I thought it would be hard to get it to show up but it really wasn't.

Good Morning Gorgeous: Friday

I wanted to foil Friday but I was in a big hurry and ran out of time. It is a really pretty colour and it will be fun to see how it looks with greens and purples.

Good Morning Gorgeous: Thursday

Although I'm not a huge fan of neutrals I really like Thursday. It looks less reddish brown on than it does in swatches and I think it looks pretty.

When I was looking for swatches of Thursday I came accross this look with Thursday and Sunday and I think it is really pretty: http://makeupmashup.squarespace.com/journal/2011/4/15/eyes-with-bare-escentuals-good-morning-gorgeous.html

Bare Escentuals Good Morning Gorgeous and High Shine Swatches and a look with Tuesday

I had time to do some swatches so here you go.

Here are swatches of the new high shine colours. I will be getting rose gold and bronze later and I will swatch those when I get them. I think High Shine Meteorite and High Shine Flash are unique but High Shine Ice is very similar to high shine Charisma. High Shine Charisma is a little darker and maybe a little warmer than HS ice. I'm not sure if you can tell that HS Flash is really lavender in the pictures--I think it looks more lavender in person.

Good Morning Gorgeous has some interesting colours in it. Friday is especially unique. I don't even know what colour it is. Sometimes it looks blue, sometimes it looks green and then I thought it looked a little purple when I blended it out on my hand but it is very pretty. I really like Monday it really isn't like any of my other blues. Tuesday is a nice pink that is a shade or two darker than Pink Posey. Wednesday is a more wearable version of Exotic Victoria. Wednesday has a smoky base and sparkle that is similar to Exotic Victoria but because the the darker base and the fact that it is a little more green I think it is easier to use than EV. Thursday is a lighter version of Rebel. They both have the reddish brown base and the bluish irridescent sparkle but rebel is darker. Saturday is very similar in colour to Tiara but it has bigger sparkles. Sunday is not like anything I already have, I thought it might be similar to cocoa but it is much more pink.

Bare Escentuals Good Morning Gorgeous: Monday

I am going to try to do a look that features each day of the week. I doubt I will do them in order and I'm sure I will do other looks before I wear all seven but I will label the posts in the same way for each day. I'll do swatches and comparisons tomorrow.

eek so much new stuff!

I got a bunch of new stuff, some from the Sephora sale, some from the preview and some from the Q. I don't even know where to start. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to do some swatches with the new stuff but I think I will just post my looks with a few new things until then.

Here is what I got: Good Morning Gorgeous (from QVC), Buxom Stay There in Husky, LORAC liquid luster, Anistasia Brow Wiz in Brunette, High Shine Meteroite, High Shine Ice, High Shine Flash and the Argan and green coffee eye serum from Shea Terra.

I played around with the liquid luster a bit and used it in the first look. I mixed a little LL with a little bit of eye drops and the onyx liner. It lightened the liner and made it sparkly. I want to try it under and eye shadow, over an eye shadow, and mixed with an eye shadow--I'll do swatches when I can. The LL is a clear fluid with white and irridescent gold sparkle in it.

The Buxom Stay There shadow in Husky is a light blue (I'm wearing this in the frist look too). I really love it. I didn't think I would need it but then I saw it in person at Sephora and couldn't believe how pretty it is. I think it will look good with lots of colours or by itself.

I tested the 7 eye shadows in the Good Morning Gorgeous kit on my hand and like most of them. I don't think these shadows are ment to be used together. Some of them will work together but I think you will need to come up with your own combinations. Some of the shadows are quite sparkly. The blue shadow, Monday, is not like any other blue I have so that is cool. Tuesday is a really pretty mid-tone pink that will look good with Saturday a very light pink with big clear/silver sparkles in it (it is similar to Tiara but with a different kind of sparkle in it). Wednesday is green and very similar to Exotic Victoria but Wednesday has a smokier base than Exotic Victoria. Thursday has a brown base with greenish gold irridescence, it has a different look than many BE shadows. Friday I need to play with more. Sunday is a nude brown that is matte in a nice way, it's one of those shadows that creates a blurred look which in the right combination can look very professional and elegant.

The High shines are very pretty. I like them all. Ice is similar to HS Charisma--I will swatch them side by side. High shine flash is a really nice pale lavender. HS Meteroite has a smoky purple-ish grey base with a pinky bronze shine (I'm wearing this in the second look).
