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)

Snow Day and a few new things coming out

I was looking around Sephora.com because someone posted on BEA that the new Buxom pups are now available. You can get them here. From what I understand they are not in stores yet. I would love to see swatches but I think I want them all. I wish I had a Sephora near by so I could check them out. While I was looking around I noticed the Kat Von D is comming out with pigments--this should be interesting! See them here. They are not in stock yet but if anyone does get a look at them I would love to know what they are like. I wonder if they will be more or less like MAC pigments.

My friend Allison also started a make up blog yesterday so check it out! She will be posting looks and reviews and nail polish.

One of the inspiration themes this week on Majyk is "Blizzard" so that was what inspired this look. Although most of what you notice when everything is covered in snow is the intense whiteness, the white also creates a contrast between everything covered in snow and the dark trees. The snow also makes me notice the subtle golds and pinks in the sky more and sometimes in the morning or evening the snow has a slight blue cast.
And on a completely unrelated note I was in a coffee shop a few Fridays ago and Guns N' Roses Patience came on the radio and now I can't get it out of my head...dang. So I was listening to Guns N Roses greatest hits while doing this look--hopefully I don't look too sad.

Beyond Gorgeous

You have probably already seen pictures of this kit but I thought I would post my look any way. Since I don't usually use the B&B liners like Charbronze I used Charcoal Lame instead. I think the eye shadows in this kit are similar to others I have already. Satin Ruffle is similar in colour (but a different texture) to Pearl Sateen. Frills is a deep gray, I'm not sure I have anything exactly like it but if you used a gray and then charcoal lame you would end up with a very similar look.

The blush is really pretty and so is the gloss. I also love the jars with the ribbons. The little ribbon tucks into the space under the bottom of a regular eye shadow jar when you keep them on their sides so storage has not been an issue.

I am also wearing the new Gold Mineral Veil in this look. I love everything about the Gold MV set. I love the brush, the compact, the dispenser and the MV itself. I think I might even buy a second one. I wish they would make eye shadow and blush despensers like the ones in this compact.
