I think my browns are the most neglected of all the shades I own. When I first started using BE I wore a lot of yellow and gold so I have quite a few browns to pair with those, but I tend to feel a little plain when I wear brown. I think this look is a more colourful way to do neutrals and so it's a bit more my style. The buxom shadow looks a little more sparkly in some of the pictures than it does in real life.
I also re-discovered RSVP blush when I was sorting through my blushes. Although I haven't worn it much as a blush I think it adds just the right amount of colour and glow as a bronzer, so I've been using it that way fairly often lately.

So after using the glitter brush with extreme silver with some success I wanted to try it again to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. It wasn't. I think the glitter brush works really well with the extreme glimmers. You do still get some fall out but nothing some tape won't get rid of.

I don't have any swatches right now but maybe I'll get them done this weekend and update this post.
UPDATE:
As you can tell I really like the Buxom Stay There shadows. UPDATE: Black lab is more sheer than I thought it would be. You really have to get a lot of product on your brush if you want to use it as a liner. But it also makes a great sheer black base for a smoky eye. I also felt like I had to really pack on Bull dog to get the right saturation of colour. I have never had a problem with Buxom eye shadows creasing before but all three of these creased a bit even though I used primer under them. Maybe it was because I used only the buxom shadows without some minerals mixed in, but I have heard other people complain of creasing so maybe it is the batch or the colours, I don't know. I'll let you know if anything changes.
The first look is a party look but I think it would be fine for daytime too. The second look is all I could manage this morning. I had to get up early to grade papers and I haven't been sleeping well--it shows. My students asked me if I'd been up all night grading their papers.
