First off let me say how much I have missed posting on this blog. I'm so sorry I have been MIA. I wanted to give you a little insight to my life the past 3 months and why I haven't posted.</div>

I am expecting my first child this September! With that being said the first trimester whooped my butt. With a lack of energy and the joy of nausea I barely turned on my lap top or even put on make up most days. I'm starting to feel a lot better and more myself. Not to mention finally beginning to enjoy my new adventure in life. </div>

I'm going to start this review by being completely honest when I say I don't usually like lip gloss. Which may be sacrilege to some of you but its true - I'm just not a fan. How can this be you may be wondering? Typically its the texture because I hate anything super sticky on my lips and the lack of pigmentation. If I wear anything on my lips I want it bold and in your face but <i>most</i> lip glosses doesn't meet that expectation. I have tried numerous brands of gloss and usually give them away to friends. I just stick to my Lip Tars and call it good --- until <a href="http://limecrimemakeup.com/" target="_blank">Lime Crime</a> released their <a href="http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/categories/carousel-gloss/" target="_blank">Carousel Gloss Collection</a> at the end of November. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From <a href="http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/" target="_blank">Lime Crime's</a> website: "<strong>Carousel Gloss</strong> boasts semi-opaque coverage combined
with bursts of nebulesque sparkle that comes alive in indoor lighting.
Cruelty-free/vegan formula glides on smoothly on bare lips or over your
favorite lipstick. Each gloss arrives in a sumptuous purple foil box
resembling an antique merry-go-round — the ultimate gift (or indulgence)
for those seeking a little luxury in their makeup bag."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Opaque & full of glitter? SIGN ME UP! Carousel Gloss retails for $17.00 per tube or $65.00 for the full set of 5 ($13.00 per tube if you order the set) so I bit the bullet and ordered all 5. I placed my first order with Lime Crime on December 13th & received in the mail on December 21st. Which isn't too shabby considering its mid-December and I'm sure they are slammed with orders. Everything arrived safe in a unicorn adorned pink box.</div>

5 stars to Lime Crime for their marketing & packaging. The Carousel Gloss arrived in beautiful purple foil boxes but once I got the product out of the box I was totally impressed. The plastic tubes themselves resemble the twisted brass poles (minus a mounted beastie) found on a merry go round. The tubes themselves have a decent weight and do not feel flimsy.</div>

The applicator brush is stubby and provides decent coverage when applied. I prefer brushes over the spongey applicators however I'm not used to working with such a short/nubby brush so my precision skills need a bit of adjustment as I had a bit of trouble getting a straight line around the edges of my mouth (having lip rings doesn't help either). Carousel Gloss is highly pigmented so expect a stain after using it and it has a thick consistency but is not sticky (PRAISE!). Loop-De-Loop & Kaleidoscope need more then one layer because it does streak (as you will see in my pics) or would do better layered over a lipstick which is how I'll probably wear them.</div>

Okay Gals - I'm a believer because I totally love these lip glosses. I wore Golden Ticket to work on Wednesday and it stayed for 4 hours before I wanted to touch it up after a cup of coffee. Candy Apple, Cherry On Top & Golden Ticket are my favorites out of the set but all of them are downright gorgeous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carousel Gloss is a Limited Edition product from Lime Crime so be sure to swipe them up this winter if you want them. I hope that Lime Crime releases another set of Carousel Gloss in 2012 because I will be ALL over them.</div>

During Black Friday weekend <a href="http://www.inglotusa.com/" target="_blank">Inglot</a> was offering a stellar sale, 15% off the entire site with free shipping, and since they never have sales I jumped all over it. I ordered 3 Freedom 10 pan palettes & 30 shadows. I re-worked the one 10 pan palette I had already to color theme into the shades I purchased. So there will be some duplicate swatches from my prior Inglot post here with the new. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
10 Pan Palette ($15.00)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eye Shadow Square ($5.00 ea)</div>

I have to say I love <a href="http://www.inglotusa.com/" target="_blank">Inglot</a> eyeshadows. They are so soft and velvety yet highly pigmented. All swatches I posted are without a primer and even the photo's don't do the products justice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Processing time for the order was a bit lengthy, 7 days from order date til when I was generated a shipping confirmation, and then 2 days in transit from Brooklyn to Massachusetts. Items were sent in a yellow bubble mailer wrapped in bubble wrap. My package was a bit beat up but everything was intact. I was a bit surprised because I expected something a bit 'classier' from a brand like Inglot, maybe a box for better protection? This was my first order direct from Inglot so it is possible they were overwhelmed with Black Friday sales.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My main gripe about the entire experience is <a href="http://www.inglotusa.com/" target="_blank">Inglots</a> website. It is a bit frustrating even a tad overwhelming to use when attempting an order (esp a larger one). There are no swatches of products and a lot of the display colors look alike nor is there an easy way to differentiate the colors. You scroll through colors, entering the quantity desired in the box next to color, and add to cart when finished. It would be super awesome if the colors had descriptions or swatches since Inglot chooses to label their selection by numbers and not names.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I love the product so much I plan on ordering from Inglot again - even if it means headache central when navigating/looking up swatches on other sites because I have to get my hands on some of their pinks & purples. I hope you enjoyed the swatches and as always, Thanks for Reading! XOXO</div>

How I love thee. Let me count the ways! One, two, three.... looks like 10 ways today. I've been on quite a neutral kick the past 2 months so this order is primarily earthy toned goodness. BFTE has some of the prettiest neutral & earthy shades I've ever seen from a company. Their selection of Greens is 6 pages long ladies!</div>

I've had Beautiful & Patriot prior but loved both so much I needed to order more. Yep, its that good. My new favorites out of this order is: Spruce & Dragonslayer. Both colors need to be owned by everyone. Spruce really is a stunning green which has some green/silver shift to it.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed today's swatches! Coming soon - a review of the new & limited <a href="http://bftecosmetics.com/products_new.html" target="_blank">BFTE Holiday Collections</a>! <br />

December finds me buried in Holiday To-Do's with a crazy non-stop work schedule. I have plenty of goodies to share with you that I've ordered in the past few weeks and now I have some free time to take pics & upload!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still trying to round out my collection of Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Eye Shadows and by golly I'll get there eventually! I ordered 3 jars of their loose shadows during their Pink Weekend sale on November 25th. Shipping took way longer then I had expected (order placed on Nov 25th, Tracking # received Dec 2nd and product received Dec 8th) BUT this is not normal of SP. Usually I receive the package within 4 days and I'll definitely throw more funds their way in the future.</div>

Holy cats, check out Darling! This is by far one of the prettiest shades (I think) from Sugarpill. Its such an amazing teal green shade but it almost 'glows' in the jar when you get it under light. Highly recommend it!<br />
<br />
Here are some pics of the swatches I took. All of which are dry on skin without primer.<br />

Only 3 more jars of Chromalust shadows to go and I'll be complete - - Until Sugarpill releases some new colors (which is supposed to happen in the near future and I'll be all over those!)<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading & Happy Holidays!<br />

I recently scored some more Concrete Minerals from a friend who pressed her loose shadows and had a bit left over that she didn't need. Since I didn't have these shades I, of course, had to snag them up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, these are full sized jars but they are missing product since my friend removed product to press so please keep that in mind. Concrete Minerals is extremely generous on their product size so the full size intact jars I've ordered direct from them are ah-mazin! There is still quite a lot of product left over in the jars even now.</div>

These shades are so beautiful! For all the crazy colors I wear daily there's nothing like earth tones/basics. Each color has just the right amount of sparkle in it so its not over bearing. Some people can't go to work looking like a disco ball and these colors accommodate that. Of course if you aren't into a hint of bling and want straight mattes these may not be for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really surprised at how pretty Nocturne is. I wish it had a little more of a green sheen to it tho. When I first swatched Black Metal & Nocturne side by side they looked pretty identical. That was only at first glance then began to appreciate that yes there was a difference. Nocturne would be beautifully used for smokey eyes or for the crease!</div>

Before I head out and run some errands I took a few shots of my make-up. I refuse to believe Winter is almost here so I used a lot of warm, rich tropical shades from <a href="http://www.moiminerals.com/">MOI Minerals</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colors I used are: Shimmers & Pearls (highlight), Raze (inner corner of eye), Talk Dirty To Me (center lid), Haunted (crease) & Pink Stiletto. I absolutely LOVE Haunted. It is a gorgeous orangey shade with some pink in it. Honestly one of my fav colors MOI has available.</div>

On my lips I mixed OCC Lip Tars in Interlace & Femme but applied a bit of gloss on top to jazz it up a bit. I typically don't wear gloss because the texture weirds me out and I usually apply too much. I'm still learning the fine line between a light sheer application and too much it "dilutes" the lipstick or Lip Tar.</div>H.Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06031639229353919686noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211158031164515619.post-64196785214724929502011-10-29T21:10:00.000-04:002011-11-10T15:36:05.343-05:00Beauty From The Earth: More Swatches<div style="text-align: center;">

While I was at Hot Topic the other day I decided to snag some more of their Baked Eye Shadows that are lurking on the clearance rack. Hot Topic has come out with a new beauty line called Warpaint so their older collection has been steadily marked down. In with the new and out with the old! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't had the opportunity to purchase any of the Warpaint shadows yet but wanted to take some pics of the older line and swatches in case you wish to run to your nearest HT to see if they have any left on clearance. I currently got mine with the Clearance Sale (Buy One, Get the Second 1/2 off). Holla at me savings!</div>

Surprisingly, these shadows are pretty pigmented! I never know what to expect when I buy cosmetics at retailers, who's specialty is not cosmetics, because its either great or a dud. To achieve a bright bold look with these I highly recommend a primer first (these swatches were taken without primer).</div>

Who doesn't love Halloween Collections? When I found out Fyrinnae was releasing 9 new shadows under a Halloween Collection I was ALL over it. Since I was ordering I also decided to score some more of their "Ghost" Shades which are really fantastic duo-chromes.</div>

Excuse the multiple images, they may look the same, however it was really hard for me to get pictures that even resembled the amazingness of these shadows. In fact I trashed the first 2 sets of pictures I took because once I uploaded them I thought they sucked. It's even hard to see in this set of photos but Raven's Prophecy is loaded with green & blue reflects and Crimson Ghost is a Pink/Golden duo chrome. Simply stunning - the whole lot of shadows!</div>

If you love Fyrinnae then you /NEED/ these in your life.</div>H.Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06031639229353919686noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211158031164515619.post-47708514331516198812011-10-24T20:13:00.000-04:002011-10-24T20:13:30.500-04:00Beauty From The Earth: Mineral Blush & Highlights<div style="text-align: center;">
This past year I really learned to love Blush & the whole aspect of applying mineral make up to my face to contour and give it an all around glow. Lets face it, I used to believe being pasty pale was where its at but I've really expanded out of some close mindedness. I found that it's okay not to look deathly pale - all the time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a few different blush brands (Sephora, Sleek, Clinique, Fyrinnae) but I really enjoy <a href="http://www.bftecosmetics.com/">BFTE's</a> Mineral <a href="http://bftecosmetics.com/face/mineral-blush">Blush</a> & <a href="http://bftecosmetics.com/face/mineral-highlighter">Highlighter</a>. They seem to be my go-to brand and that's okay! Quality product at amazing prices is a win. I started easing into blush with the purchase of Neutral Pink and after scoring Georgia Peach in a following order I was hooked. I never thought a coral tone would be for me but it compliments my skin tone so nicely. So please take chances because you may be shocked with what you find!</div>

<br />The great thing about blush is it can be blended down to a faint trace on your cheeks instead of the 1980's blush application. I'm totally into both looks so it depends on what I'm trying to achieve for the day. Also, another perk to wearing blush is I don't get asked if I use SPF 10,000 every week. <br />
<br />
Have any Blush recommendations or must haves that I need? Comment so I can check them out!<br />

First off I wanted to apologize for my lapse in blog posting lately. This time of the year is always really busy for me at work and I've had no time to take pictures. However I'm hoping to fix that situation starting now. Thanks for your patience!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's no secret that I'm a huge Sugarpill fan. I have all the pressed shadows Sugarpill offers but I'm still trying to finish out my collection of the Chromalust Loose Shadows. This week I scored 4 more additional jars of loose pigments to add to my collection and I wanted to share some pictures/swatches with you!</div>

Sugarpill never disappoints! I am in love with these loose pigments. Out of the 12 Chromalusts I own, Royal Sugar is my all time favorite, hands down!! In the above swatch image all were applied without primer and just look at Royal Sugar. Its a super rich blue pigment with lots of sparkle - it's giving me the fevah! The other 3 loose pigments are all fantastic in their own right but RS is the ultimate show stopper.</div>

I am in love with Inglot shadows. The Freedom Palettes are pretty stellar since you get to create your own custom palette. The shadows themselves are smooth and soft to the touch. Care must be taken when removing the pans from the magnetic palettes as its really easy to dent the eyeshadow trying to get them out.<br />
<br />
Inglot is a brand I look to further expand my collection on as they have a stunning array of greens and blues I'm dying to get my hands on.<br />
<br />
Do you own any Inglot eyeshadows? Have any suggestions for must have colors? Please let me know! <3 </div>H.Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06031639229353919686noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211158031164515619.post-44939798798174403052011-10-09T12:15:00.000-04:002011-10-09T12:15:09.895-04:00MOI Minerals: More Swatches<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy day! I have some new MOI Minerals to share with you today! I'm so excited about this package because there was a slight debacle receiving it. I had placed my original order at the end of August/beginning of September but since MOI is located in Nova Scotia I'm not counting on the calendar for its delivery due to customs. My sister lives in Canada so I know how long packages can get held up going through. However by the 3rd week in September I contacted Holly at MOI about my missing package.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Holly is SO sweet to deal with. Upon receiving my message she wrote me back and had already got another package together to ship out to me - no questions asked. That speaks leaps and bounds to me about an indie (or any) companies customer service. I really appreciated what she did for me and I had to tell you about MOI's customer service before I got into the goods.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
All these colors are pretty fantastic. It was hard to capture the awesomeness of the shadows due to poor lightning (thanks rain clouds) however there wasn't a single shadow I didn't like out of this order. Even Galaxy is pretty fly. Its a purple-black which really shows up in the light. These swatches were applied dry so imagine how stellar they'd be on a base or primer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to creating and sharing some looks with you this week - especially with Spank Me. That blue is amazing. Thanks for reading! XOXO</div>

Let me start out by saying that Halloween is my all time favorite holiday. This love was intensified by moving to the East Coast and experiencing a New England Fall (esp October). So naturally I jumped on the opportunity to order Beauty From The Earth's Halloween Collection. I just received it in the mail today and wanted to share the pictures with you.</div>

The "Pick Your Poison" Collection retails for $25.00. It includes 4 full size jars, tinted lip balm and was neatly placed inside this adorable Poison Box (w/ tasty treat). All colors in this Collection are brand new to BFTE. There are limited numbers of this set but don't fret - they will be available for individual sale on the website in the future. My personal favorites out of this Collection are Snake Oil (real sparkly orange) & Bats Wing.</div>

It's a team up between Sleek Make Up & PPQ fashion house, taking inspiration from PPQ's S/S theme, the palette is a mix of matte's & shimmer eyeshadow. I really liked how some of the shades were swatched on some pre-release blogs so I had to have it and since I was ordering might as well score the <a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/en/products/curacao-sleek-makeup-474.aspx">Curacao</a> palette before its sold out for good. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm super impressed with Sleek's S&H turn over this time around. I ordered on Friday Sept 16th, my packaged processed out on Weds Sept 21st and arrived on Tue Sept 27th from the UK! Everything was safe & sound with no transit damage. A+ Sleek!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Me, Myself & Eye i-Divine Palette is pretty rockin. After swatching the colors in person I find the palette really pretty but not a die-hard must have which is a bummer. I absolutely love Chris De Burgundy & Primal Green tho. Maybe the palette will grow on me over time and maybe I'm just thrown off because there's really no 'color' theme to this collection. I do see lots of colors in this palette that are perfect for Fall right now.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I continued to swatch these products over BFTE Liquid Luster since it was the base I used in all of my prior Fyrinnae posts and wanted to maintain some consistency til I did comparison photos. As always I highly recommend using a base like Pixie Epoxy or BFTE Liquid Luster when you wear Fyrinnae eyeshadow since it is made to wear with one. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My favorites: Jade Ghost, Bifrost, Sleepy Hollow, Devilish & Dinosaur Plushie. Jade Ghost is just awesome and is part of Fyrinnae 'Ghost Shades' line. I love anything duochrome and I'll be purchasing the others with my next order!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;">To show the difference between Pixie Epoxy and Liquid Luster I did two swatches of 2 different colors to show the difference. In the picture there is Fyrinnae's Dinosaur Plushie & Eternal Innocence with Pixie Epoxy (L) & Liquid Luster (R) as bases. Pixie Epoxy is a glycerine base so its really thick but not too sticky where as LL is just that, Liquid. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pixie Epoxy seemed to 'grab' the color more and create a solid swatch where as LL was more streaky. This was visually evident more with the darker color Eternal Innocence but not as much with Dinosaur Plushie. Just a little goes a long way with Pixie Epoxy so a full size tube ($7.00) will last you and is worth the dollars! I will retire the LL to use with my minerals but Epoxy is where its at when wearing the Fyrinnae shadows.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Inglot is a higher end cosmetic company which offers you the 'Freedom System' of custom building a palette to your liking. You purchase the empty palettes (with numerous styles to choose from) and then pick the eyeshadow shades (or blush) you'd like. If that's not for you they do sell individual eyeshadow pots. Just browsing their website can be overwhelming considering the choices you have.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> The 3 pan palette I picked up is more of a neutral palette and away from what I normally wear - which is bright in your face colors.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

However their website is always in limbo between accepting orders and shut down to fill the rush of orders that come in when the site is up. Needless to say I had to wait a while as the site was down for a few weeks but victory is in my grasp as the site is currently online and taking orders the past week - in which I've placed two. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The order I'm sharing with you lovelies today is 6 of their sample Eyeshadows (+1 free sample of Samhain Spirits) and 7 sample jars of Glow Blush. Fyrinnae gives a lot in their sample jars so if you're new to the company this is a great way to try them out! Not to mention sample jar orders process faster then full size/larger orders as the company produces enough of the colors to satisfy the orders coming in.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">These shadows are just gorgeous. Rapunzel Had Extensions is my favorite out of this batch of shadows but all of them are simply stunning. They were applied over BFTE's Liquid Luster. To all you diehard Fyrinnae fans, never fear, I have ordered some Pixie Epoxy with my last order and should be receiving it within the next 2 weeks! They were sold out at the time I placed my first order. I highly recommend using a Mixing Medium (i.e. Pixie Epoxy, Liquid Luster, etc) when wearing Fyrinnae as this product is made to be worn with such.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Its a very gloomy day here in Massachusetts so taking pictures was a bit difficult. My favorite out of the group of blushes is Captivate. It's a beautiful rose pink blush with gold reflects. I'm excited to try these purple blushes out as I usually stick closer to pinks and golds for blush/highlights. It's always good to get out of your safe zone and purple blush is in for Fall.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did add far more product then whats needed to darken up the swatches so you could see the true color since one or two swipes on my arm wasn't cutting it for pictures. Of course all of these can be blended down to be more sheer and since the blushes are so pigmented you really only need just a little on your cheeks. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you enjoyed all the swatches so far and stay tuned as I have another order in the mail!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Beauty From The Earth never disappoints and these new colors are just stunning! The Berry Patch Collection is right up my alley because these 3 colors compliment each other SO well when you wear them. Plus I'm a sucker for chartreuse-y greens so Gooseberry was an automatic slam dunk. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Boysenberry is my favorite out of the trio however. It's such a beautiful purple with a pink base and blue/purple reflects. I fell in love with it as soon as I swatched it. It is now in my top 3 purples from BFTE - thats how pretty I think it is. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bftecosmetics.com/eyes/mineral-eye-shadows/blues/laguna">Laguna</a> & <a href="http://bftecosmetics.com/eyes/mineral-eye-shadows/greens/limelight">Limelight</a> wear more like BFTE's Velvet Frosts and apply like butta'. So smooth and pigmented. I totally see Laguna being one of the colors I use more in the winter as right now I'm crazy about Fall shades and earth tones. These 2 minerals are available for purchase at <a href="http://www.bftecosmetics.com/">BFTE's website</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My overall impression of Concrete Minerals is a positive one! Their shipping was incredibly fast and their customer service was pretty stellar. Which is another thing I'm a stickler about since I manage a retail store. Emily was very prompt when I e-mailed, answered all my questions and was extremely pleasant!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

One thing that stuck out to me was I loved their selection of 200+ minerals and I /had/ to have the Molten Metals Collection. MBA is run by Sherrie in Ohio and can be found on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mybeautyaddiction">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MyBeautyAddiction">Etsy</a> & their <a href="http://mybeautyaddiction.com/">personal webpage</a>.<br />

</tbody></table>The colors are beautiful and apply smooth. The sample sizes are generous but there is some fall out from opening the jars and closing them. Nothing too extreme but there will be some shadow 'dust' that will swoop out and sprinkle whatever surface it lays on due to being topsy turvy in shipping. I would just suggest opening and closing slowly and storing the containers flat. I would still prefer these storage containers over baggies because I always make a mess with bags.<br />
<br />
Some of these colors are very similar to the primary pigments I have from BFTE. Smolder is almost an exact dupe of Vamp. I'm not sure if these are repackaged pigments, as it's not listed on MBA's site if they sell them as such, but a few colors are pretty close.<br />

It can be used for a bold look or you can soften those blues up for a more innocent approach. Blues can be used to accent orange, browns and grey shadows as well! Just use a bit as a liner under your eye and bam, sexy contrast!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
