One eyed Purple People (eyeshadow) Eater

Ok, more purple! My eye has recovered and this is what I've done to celebrate - irritate it with glitter. ;) (Side note: Though ew, forgive the goop in the corner of my eye that I didn't notice until I uploaded the photos. Clearly I'm not 100% yet)

This look started out in a completely different direction than what it looks like now. I started with the Physicians Formula POP! Hazel eyes palette which I purchased during a retail (drug store) therapy sesh a few months ago. I used the 4th color up from the bottom. In the picture of the Hazel Eyes palette, it looks totally bronzy, but it is actually a deep, rosy bronze. I started with that all in my crease and then pondered for forever where to go with it next.

Uhm.
Er.
Oh yea, how about some purple?

So let's take my fave, MAC Fashion Groupie, and blend it in to the bronzy babe. Then let's just add some sparkle! I used Bobbi Brown Metallic Shadow in Pink Pearl to add some glitz and blend it all together. Interestingly, in the natural light photos (such as the one immediately above), these look has a matte appearance. However, you can see in the flash photo at the top of this post that there is indeed some shimmer!


Oh and that super shiny eye liner? It's a metallic gem from Modern Basics that I picked up at IBS New York this year. It's called a Diamondline pencil in Jezebel. It's an awesome fuchsia/purple color. It apples so smoothly and actually feels a little cool to the touch. It is tough to take off though, because even though it feels soft and smooth, removal leaves behind lots of glitter. However, I love this pencil. Gorge, absolutely gorge!

Also I think this is one of my first looks using my new Wet 'n' Wild waterproof liquid liner. I have never used the waterproof version of this HG liner. Let me tell you, I wore this to the hot, sweaty beach for 4 days. Oh my goodness, it did not budge one millimeter. Sweat and water could not get this off of my face. I needed a bulldozer of a makeup remover (Hello Lancome BiFacil!) to get it off. My only gripe is the tough felt tip. I liked the brush on the regular version better. It held the product better and moved smoother. Though I will say, the firmer tip is excellent for tight corners and super precision lines. All in all, not so bad. And for the cheap price and awesome quality of the liner, I can't ask for anything more.

As usual, here's a super contrast edit because I love how it looks.

Anyway, it's time for me to watch some America's Got Talent and root on some of my faves, including Antonio and the fantabulous Prince Poppycock. Helloooooo? The makeup, his outfits, the shoes? Not to mention his voice! Gotta love him. Also, Future Funk? HOW ADORABLE! This show is so my guilty pleasure.

Love 'n' bubbles!
