Catrice Velvet Matt Eyeshadow Haul and Swatches

Hi Guys,

I got me some of the new Velvet Matt Eyeshadows from Catrice

There are 6 colors and I must say I nearly got a cardiac arrest when I swatched them at the drugstore

So I got 3 of them (and picked up two others a few days later, le sigh)

These are the first three

From left to right

010 Vanillity Fair

050 Welcome To Greysland

030 Jump Up And Brown

These are called Velvet Matte, and though they are very velvety indeed, they are not completely matte, so don't be fooled!

They are all kind of shimmery, as you will see in the swatches and the looks that are going to be posted soon.

They also have a sort of shift thing going one and Welcome To Greysland had a light duochrome pink shimmer as you can see 

Vanility Fair had a slight gold shimmer, very subtle and great for the tearduct and browbone, to me this is the mattest of the three

Swatches are made with one swipe and no primer was hurt :-)

All in all I am quite pleased with these additions to the Catrice products!

I do suggest you get at least a few of them, but don't take my word for it, go see and swatch for yourself!

Love,

Diana

EOTD Good Girls Wear Purple

Hi All!

Sorry I have been MIA the last weeks!

I had a stomach flu, a room makeover (holler if you wanna see pics of that, think library meets Star Trek meets old audio equipment :-)

I also went to Artis Zoo in Amsterdam with Linda this weekend and I will

show you some pics of cute animals ;-) in a coming post

Further on I am expecting lots of goodies, Detrivore's Graveyard collection and the Vaccine, Ectoplasma and Lurid LE set, 

some China Glaze polishes including some Hunger Games, Magnetix and Prismatics

And I just ordered some new (NEW!!) Fyrinnae colors

So, there's lots of good things to come

But I also did use makeup and here's some..

I got the Sleek Good Girls palette simply because I want to own all Sleek palettes around

(still missing the Sparkle one, but I don't know if I want that one lol)

I used some MUFE 92 with it and

Essence Gel Eyeliner in Berlin Rocks

 

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend
Tell me how you have been

I Got Naked Too

Hi All,

I didn't jump late on the bandwagon with this, I fell off...

Finally after a long time of lusting and doubting I

got it.....

What?

My first Urban Decay stuff evah!

I like what I see so far, time for some testruns

What do you think, money well spent or money wasted big time?

EOTD Quickie and Haul

Hi All,

Here a test with Star Gazer's Cake Eyeliner in blue/grey

I also visited Inglot for some more eyeshadows and gel liners

Here I am wearing some colors from Sleek's Oh So Special palette

The crease is Inglot's M340, a great dark teal color...

I got the Gelliners in dark blue (83), grey (78) and taupe (89)

Quick swatches

I was looking for the dark purple (75) and the white (76) but these were sold out

I also finally caved and got the Urban Decay Naked Palette on Ebay,

paid about 14 euro's too much, but oh well... I am looking

forward to it, I heard so much raves about it, we'll see :-)

EOTD Indie Mix

Hi All!

Wow I had a blast with the Black Friday sales!

Thanks to the time zone difference I was able to order the Sigma X Facebrushes without

any hassle and with free shipping, how cool is that?

Further more I ordered the November collection at Detrivore Cosmetics, 20 great

eyeshadows for $25 including shipping and ofcourse I had to order

some more Meow... I got the Borealis glitters, the Xmas Tree collection and

The Ghosts From Xmas Past collection, I ordered 2 samples of each so I have some jars

to fill lol

And because our coffee machine needed to be replaced I got

a new one, the prettiest ever

It's purple!!!! It fits perfectly in our kitchen <3

Only downside is that I am kinda sick again, just got an flu shot but
now I have a very sore throat, a huge cold and a little fever running *sigh*

Okay, makeup!

For this look I used all Indie minerals, most of the time I use loose eyeshadows on the lid

and pressed eyeshadows in the crease and up

But not this time.

Regular base and mascara

Inglot's AMC Matte Eyeliner gel in 85 as a base on the lid

Shiro's Kokiri Forest on the lid and lower lashline

High Voltage Cosmetics in I Love Rock 'n Roll in tearduct

Fyrinnae's Steampunk in crease

Fyrinnae's Book Of The Dead in uppercrease

Shiro's Perfect World on browbone

Shiro's Second Kiro in outer v

Essence Gel Liner in London Baby

Lots of pics, because I liked it myself :-)

Well me and my little blanket are back on the couch

Haul: Makeup Studio Moon Dust

Hi All!

This weekend I visited Beauty Dimensions in Utrecht

I got me some goodies!

Beside some nailpolishes I also purchased 5 Moon Dust shadows from Makeup Studio

These are baked and you get the best color payoff when you apply them wet or

on a sticky base

I fell in love with them instantly

Wanna see?

 Purple Eclipse

Radiant Opal

Green Galaxy

Bright Sky

Volcano

Swatches!!

Can't wait to experiment with these beauties!

Do you have any tips for baked shadows?

Let me know in the comments :-)
