Tango in Buenos Aires FOTD

And so now we're at the second last FOTD of the Sephora palette, this time using Tango in Buenos Aires.

Even though this palette has mostly dark colours, my eye makeup is still rather light as dark colours really don't suit me!



Here we have the first lipgloss which I LOVE LOVE LOVE, the colour is just gorgeous and it's not too sheer.




Now this is with the other lipgloss, which is paler than I expected, but still not too pale. I only just noticed that this picture looks practically identical to the one before it, minus the lipgloss change and flick of hair in face, haha rather boring of me to have the same pose!








So I hope you all liked that and I'll try and get started on the last palette today, but I'm a little doubtful of that as I still have to do quite a lot of french homework xxxxx

Coffee in New York FOTD

My order is a little messed up, as I've done the Shopping in Milan FOTD first, but here it is, the Coffee in New York FOTD featuring (duh) the Sephora Coffee in New York palette !



So with this look, I decided to make it a little more interesting by lining my eyes completely, so including my lower lash line, which was tricky to do so it's not very neat, sorry about that! Here's the look with the brown gloss, which is quite nice but I'm not sure I would wear it out in public, I'm doubting my ability to pull it off.







Here we have the look but this time with the other gloss :)

Now for some close ups...






And here we have me trying it out with my new falsies. As you can obviously see, I still need some practice as the adhesive is on show, so again excuse that :P


Hope you all liked that, I'd love to see some comments, they make my day, they really do! xxxxxxxxxxx

Shopping In Milan FOTD

And next up, we have Shopping in Milan! Again you can view the swatches here and sorry for skipping Coffee in New York, I'll try and do that next.


So here I decided to do full face makeup with foundation, concealer, the works. So I decided I'd start with just foundation and concealer, without the eye makeup, blusher, lipgloss.



It seems that I went over one eyebrow with powder and didn't noticer, that's why they look weird, woops!

And now...with the eye makeup from the palette along with Sleek Gel Liner and mascara.



I used the darker lipgloss on this one, it's quite a nice look :)





And here we have with the lighter lipgloss and I actually like this picture a lot for once :)

Next up some eye shots...






Hope you all liked this look :) I probably won't update tomorrow, very hectic on tuesdays xxxx

Dinner In Paris FOTD

So as promised here is the first FOTD with the Sephora 5 in 1 Colorplay palette, this one for the Dinner In Paris palette, which you can look at the swatches here.

So I didn't do a black smokey eye as that would be WAY too overbearing on my face, considering the black hair and black eyebrows I have.

See? Very light and still was nearly bordering on too dark. I did the blush and the lipgloss as well, as you can see the blush is REALLY prominent, in the beginning it was too prominent, but otherwise this is great for the classic look.










Next up, the look I made with Shopping in Milan today :) xxx

Sephora Colorplay 5 in 1 Palette Clubbing in Tokyo 5/5

YAY WE'RE FINALLY DONE! This is the final installment of the five Sephora Colorplay palettes and I'm pretty chuffed to have finally done it. Wow, that was a lot of finallys.

So the Clubbing in Tokyo palette is basically pastel colours, which means that the colours are okay at best as they're all pretty light.



You can sort of see the organisation of the palette here with one row being the darker colours and then the next row, each of those colours' lighter equivalents.




And also here we don't really have a specific colour range, just yellow, green, pink, blue and a yellow-green. Although the lighter green looks bluer than it should be.



Again, fallout in the glosses...argh the colours are gorgeous though. Again with the pastel theme, a pale lipgloss and then a lovely bright pink, exactly what I love. The blush is quite light and I'm not sure whether it'd show up on my skintone, I had some difficulties with swatching it, actually.



Wow, surprise here! The light colours are actually decently pigmented, which contradicts what I was thinking as the other palettes are poorer in terms of light colour quality.


The lipglosses are pretty good as well, as you can see the pale oneis quite sheer, so it wouldn't blank out your lips. As for the blush, here you can see how it's not very good at showing up on my skin.



So that's it for the Sephora 5 in 1 palette! I've decided I'm now going to do some FOTDs with each palette, some of which will already be posted by the time this is published, so I hope you like them. Comments would be incredibly appreciated and would make you get a virtual cookie :) xx

Sephora Colorplay 5 in 1 Tango in Buenos Aires Palette 4/5

Part 4/5 is Tango in Buenos Aires composed of blues and greens (wow that's a very interesting description)



So here we actually have some contrasting eye and lip colours (well, thank god for that, I dunno about you, but I'm not keen on blue lipgloss)



Again, we have some glittery, matte and shimmery shades. A bit of everything, which is really quite handy for this palette because it'll satisfy everyone.




The lipglosses are GORGEOUS, especially the coral shade, although as you can see, I've experienced some fallout which has messed it up and for that reason, you don't get the exact colour unless you're very careful where you put your brush. The blusher is quite good for contouring as it's leaning on the yellow side rather than being pink.




Now all the shades in this are pretty pigmented, which is great compared to the previous one which was kind of iffy.


So here you can see the lipglosses which are a bit bluer due to the fallout of the eyeshadows next to them, which is quite a big con to the whole palette, as it's happened with all the lipglosses, except these are the only ones that are noticeable.




So there you have it for part four and we've only got one left, which you should hopefully get next Saturday! xxx

Sephora Colorplay 5 in 1 Palette Shopping in Milan 3/5

And here we have the third part of the Sephora Colorplay palettes, this one being named Shopping in Milan, which I have never done myself, but I am assured that it is really cool by a friend.


For some reason, the quality of the picture is appalling which is bugging me cause it did NOT look like that on Photoshop.



So here we have mainly purples and pinks with...two browns and a green, which are quite random.




The lipglosses match two of the eyeshadows nearly EXACTLY, which I suppose isn't bad, but I'd usually expect it to be a colour that might be different yet still compliment the eyes and then there's the blush, which is a pink-peachy tone.




Sooooo, these are all again quite pigmented EXCEPT the light pinks, which took several attempts to even show up on the swatch! I think this palette is probably the poorest in terms of quality, but then again, that magnificent green makes up for it.




The blush and glosses are quite pigmented as well, which is good. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether the colour of the blush will suit me, which I need to try out at one point.




What I think I'll do next is write the post for the next one and schedule it for midweek, okay?

Sephora Colorplay 5 in 1 Palette Coffee in New York 2/5

And here we go on to part two, Coffee in New York!



Now this is more a neutral look which is perfect for those of you with blue eyes if you want to make your eyes pop!


So again a mix of shimmery, glittery and matte shades. Again this palette also has a nude highlight colour, which I think only this and the Dinner in Paris one have.


As for the lipglosses and blush, you have a dark brown, orange and a peachy blush(wow I am just so literate!).


Here you can see how wonderfully pigmented the shimmery shades are! The mattes are ok, not too troublesome (I think those are the lighter shades) and yet again, I spy a glitter.


Now these lipglosses are lovely although the orange is a lot sheerer on the lips, so it's not quite as daunting. The blush has improved as well, it's way more subtle than the first one and a lot more wearable.




As you can see, the swatches were a bit lopsided, which I tend to do often, sorry!
This is all from me for today, I will try and update during the week, I really will, but if not, Saturday I will.
