This look turned out so well. It looked really good in real life. I love looks like this because while they include bright colour they do it in a very wearable way. I think you could wear this to work (unless you work in a really conservative office).
If you wanted to do this with all BE you could use Key Lime in place of Venom and blue moon in place of kiss of creativity.

One of the challenges on Majyk this week was to do a pastel look. I thought I would use No Eye Deer as the main colour in this look but I think everything blends together and it doesn't really look very pastel overall.
Another thing the Tarte lipstains are good for is using them over the buxom lipsticks or other lipsticks to add just a hint of pink or a tiny bit more colour or a little glossy-ness. One swipe of the Tarte stain is usually enough. I think pouty looks really nice over sydney.

In my look for today (the first one) I used the Maybelline One By One mascara in Blackest Black. It glides on easily, and does give a good amount of length and volume. I was expecting the brush to help seperate my lashes more easily but I don't think it does. I think the Bare escentuals flawless definition is better for seperation with some volume. My lashes do look good but not the best mascara I've tried.

So much to report.
I got my Destination Sydney kit yesterday and I love it! But before I get to the kit I just want to mention the Tapered Crease Brush. I got the Tapered Crease Brush free with my order (there was a code) and when I got it I noticed that it was cut differently than my other tapered crease brush. The new one is stiffer and comes to a more pronounced point than my old one. I’m not sure if this is a change in design or if they are just inconsistent about how they cut the brushes but the new one is different. I used the new one for my look today and although it worked pretty well and I like the more pronounced point, it shed like crazy. Maybe if I wash it or use it a few more times the shedding will stop, I hope so.
On to the Destination Sydney! I love all the colours in this kit. The Bondi Beach (the blue) unlike anything I own. I love it! It is bright but dark, so you can use it as a lid colour or a liner. Sydney is a cream/yellow with a medium sheen (it has more sheen than soul but less than BFF). On the eye it does not look yellow, it is just a bright neutral—it look like really bright sunlight. Treasure Island is not new, it came out in the Cast Away kit, but it is really pretty as well. Treasure Island is a brown with some gold and a hint of green. I’m not sure swatches do it justices. Wet it has a pearly texture that I really love. This kit is a perfect summer look—it is cheerful and sunny. Even though Sydney is close to Soul I think the textural difference makes it worth having. I’m glad I got this kit. Hopefully they will make Sydney and Bondi Beach part of the permanent line.
The bag that comes with this kit is really cute too.
EYES:
CHEEKS: Chuckle blush
LIPS: Tarte Charmed lip stain
