I know it has been a while since I posted anything and I just wanted to tell you why. I have had really bad allergies and my eyes have been really swollen (I can barely look at them so I'm sure you would not want to see them). My whole face has been very sensitive and I just haven't been able to wear makeup. I never really get allergies so I have no idea why I am getting them now. I think maybe things are getting better and I should be back to posting soon.
I am also going on vacation so that might lead to me posting less for a while. I did just get the two new Buxom eye shadow sets and really hope I can try them out soon!
I've been in a hurry the last few days so here are two looks that didn't take very long to do.

I had really bad allergies all weekend. I have never had a reaction like that, my eyes were all puffy and my face was red--it was terrible. But I think I'm getting back to normal today.
I thought I would were a few of my buxom eye shadows today since I will be getting a few more soon. There are two new kits at Sephora with new buxom eye shadow colours in them. I can't wait to get them.
I usually use the buxom shadows as a base and then put the mineral shadows over them. But today I blended Schnauzer over Alive and it worked out great.

I think grey and purple look very nice together. I think this is a good way to wear colour if you don't usually wear bright colours.

Before I get to the looks I have it on good authority (Jess) that Bravon will have a wedding makeup page on the Bare Escentuals website starting around May 12th. Many of you are big fans of Bravon and his work so I know this is exciting news. I know I'm excited. I will probably do some of the looks from the page once it's up. I can't wait to see what he comes up with!
The color shift colour are interesting. The lilac is very light and pretty. I put the colour in the crease first and blended it out to make it turn grey then I gently patted it lash to crease to keep the shinner lighter lilac colour. I find that the lilac/grey does not produce a dramatic difference in colour when you blend it out but it creates a difference in texture. When blended out it is very soft and almost matte looking. Hopefully you will beable to see it in the pictures.
There is a dramatic difference with the Bronze/green colour. I used the same method for both looks. The green is a nice bright mossy green and the bronze is a light nude-ish bronze.

I didn't think I would like either of these high shine colours but I really love High Shine Rose Gold. It is a really pretty mid-tone pink with a metallic gold sheen, it reminds me a little bit of Cupcake. High Shine Bronzed is lighter than I thought it would be. It does not have a smoky base and can be applied in a rather sheer layer.
