Playing with Puppies

I was in the mood to use some of my buxom pups this week. The green look I did was inspired by Mally's makeup--she was on QVC this past weekend and she was wearing this awesome green look. I like her look better than what I came up with.

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).

Buxom Newness: 5" Stilettos, Cocker Spaniel, Sheepdog, and Sydney

I got all kinds of new new stuff this week. I decided to get some a few of the new Buxom items released this month. I love the Stay There shadows so I got two of the new colours--Sheepdog and Cocker Spaniel--there are two others Collie and Husky. I think I will get Husky at some point.
I think some people will be pleased to see the names of the Buxom lipstick and smoky eye stick at the bottom in good size print.

Cocker Spaniel is interesting. It has a pink base with iridescent pink sparkle. If you put it on heavily it shows up as a light pink. If you do a light layer it, and you have a skin tone like mine, it is almost invisible. I had to really pack it on to get a good swatch.

Sheepdog is beautiful! It is white with sparkle but it doesn't seem to be coloured sparkle. When I swatched it it went on opaque so I don't think I'll have any trouble getting it to show up (I haven't worn it yet so I can't say for sure). I'll update this once I've used it a bit.

5" stilettos is the purple buxom eye shadow stick. This is very dark on the skin and does not look really purple unless you are in good lighting. The swatch is with a flash so you can see the purple in it. I think smudged out it would make a nice smoky eye. I think this stick is creamer than Smokin' Pistol.

Sydney Buxom lipstick is a flesh-y pink. When I put this on alone it looks just like my regular lips only maybe a 1/2 shade darker. This will be invisible on some people. I think I will use this under gloss or when I need a really natural lip and don't want to use a pale pink.

I decided to use cocker spaniel and 5" stiletto and I couldn't resist using Wowza and Chuckle again. (I used wowza very lightly in the crease and it looks pink)
