One Direction Up All Night first look

enter the giveaway!
I recieved my One Direction makeup! I'm so excited! Since I have a horrid headache I'm only doing a swatch of a few things. The eye crayon, lipstick,and lipgloss. I'm pretty amazed by all of these, since I figured it'd be for lil' girls. The quality is really good! I will post swatches of the whole kit today or tomorrow, I'm really excited to do so.

And here it is!

Heres swatches of the eye crayon, lipstick, and lipgloss

Taken is the uv liquilights lipgloss. It is a bright pink. It's so wonderful, its really creamy and has a vanilla smell.

Stand up is the bright blue eye and body crayon, it glides on easily without any tugging.

And I should have kissed you is a bubblegum pink lipstick, it glides on nice and is very pigmented.

Here's some picture spam!

Ariel inspired blue smokey eye

I decided to do a smokey eye look with the blue shadows in the Ariel Collection from E.L.F, I just never had a reason to use them as I am kind of afraid of blues. Every time I see someone do a look with blues it always looks tacky! So I took a chance using these blue shadows, and it turned out really great! It's a really understated look, and it is actually really pretty!

Here's what the finished look is like.

And here is what I used to get the look. I used the Nyx palette in Smokey ( I used the navy and white colors), a white eye crayon, and the blue shadow in the High Tide eyeshadow duo.

First you put the white in your corners, then add the light blue color all over your eyes(except the corners).

Apply the navy blue color in the nyx palette on your crease and corners, and blend it out. Then use a thin eyeliner brush to line your eyes with the navy blue, also apply it under your eyes.

It should look something like this.

Then use the white eye crayon to line your waterline. Mascara is optional, I used Voluminous Butterfly mascara in black, but I feel a blue mascara would really complete the look!

This is what it looks like without mascara!

Failed manicure.

It was supposed to be an ocean inspired mani. The whole thing turned out disastrous because my brushes gunked up! I should have some new brushes coming soon, so they'll be better manicures then. The only thing I think turned out good was the gradient on my thumb.

From left to right: Jellyfish,dolphin,crab,starfish,gradient.

and my topcoat smeared most of my designs...

I'm just going to hide under a rock now.
