I hummed and hawwed but decided on an eyeshadow palette called 'Complement' and a nail polish called 'Cameo'. I had quite a bit of difficulty actually getting these to checkout due to the number of people on the site, but thankfully got the order finalised as the offer closed.
I used Parcel Motel to avail of free UK shipping. It arrived a week after I placed my order. I wasn't in much of a rush to receive it so that was ok. Since I also bought another palette recently, today was the first day I was able to try the stuff out.
I went for a purpley palette as most stuff I have is in the brown, bronze, black family. The top right hand colour is more of a cream which I wasn't expecting. It has a light scent when in the palette, almost like a vanilla.
Here is how I decided to wear the colours. Unfortunately I have quite shallow lids so it's hard to see anything except what I did above the crease!
I also decided to try my new nail polish, 'Cameo'. It's a cornflower blue, slightly more pastel than Nails Inc Baker St for example.
I put it on my nails and then decided it might look nice with some China Glaze Fairy Dust. I took some photos before applying the glitter topcoat and before cleaning up at the cuticles to show you the colour on its own.
Then I added the sparkley topcoat. This is one of these 'colours' that makes everything look better! :) It's hard to photograph the holo well, it looks really fun under bright lights or direct sun.

Awh, is this the polish you were talking about yesterday? It's such a gorgeous colour! It's not one I'd randomly pick up, but it's so nice on.
ReplyDeleteYes indeedy! Thanks so much! Blues are my new 'thing' at the moment so I really like it too! :)
ReplyDeleteYour eyes are absolutely gorgeous in this post! The colours in the illamasqua palette totally suit you! I was one of the unlucky ones that just couldn't get to check out during the illamasqua sale! I spent ages clicking and refreshing and it just wouldnt work for me! Was devastated!
ReplyDeleteLove that china glaze top coat as well! Makes the blue look super luxe and stand out!
You have a great eye for nail combos!
Thanks, I've been meaning to try out a purple for a while! I actually got my order in after 5 but the discount code was applied before 5 so thankfully it went through. Spent a good 30 mins trying!
DeleteThe palette looks amazing on you, typical i missed the sale.
ReplyDeleteNormally I'm not on twitter much during the work day but luckily I had a sneaky look and found out about it!
DeleteThanks for the lovely comment!
The palette quad is absolutely beautiful! Colours are so pretty and they really suit you! The polish is absolutely beautiful, gorgeous shade for this time of year. Really like it with the CG too:)
