Galactic Eyes

For this look I was inspired by a picture I saved to my computer a long time ago (I'm sorry I don't know who the image belongs to!):

My Pretty Zombie: Swatches and Thoughts

I received my first order from My Pretty Zombie last week, and I have to say I'm quite impressed. The eyeshadows I got are not like any I already have in my collection (this is quite difficult to do! :p). I love that the company has a specific brand identity, and all the names of the products go along with this.

I bought three full-size eyeshadows, which are 1.5g weight, and come in a pot without a sifter. They cost $5 each at time of posting. They came individually shrink-wrapped, which I think is good to prevent them leaking in transit but not essential for me. The owner also kindly sent me 3 free samples in baggies. My items were all boxed with tissue paper and ribbon; very thoughtful and prettily presented.

Shade names are printed on the side of the jar, which might be annoying if you like to see the names in a drawer or something, but I don't mind.

 Thundernuts

 Unicorn Pee

Old Bruise

All are swatched over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, except Old Bruise which is over UDPP, since it doesn't work well with mattes.

I found them all to be really well pigmented and smooth. Of course with Unicorn Pee being so glittery, it's best to use a sticky base such as the Pixie Epoxy to make the glitter stay on. I love the complexity of the colours, especially Thundernuts which is beautiful. Many of the eyeshadows they do have duochromes which I love. My favourites are the 3 I picked out myself, plus Illustrated Ink. I would definitely order from them again, and the owner was really quick to send me a message saying when my order would be sent out.You can see the products here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/mrsevils

Neutral with a pop of colour

Here's a really easy look to do when you want to incorporate some colour but without going over the top or your makeup standing out too much. Definitely something to try if you're not too confident with doing eye makeup. You can add something bright along your lower lashline or above your top lashes to see what kind of colours you like and you feel suit you best :)

Products used:

UDPP

UD Sidecar - crease

Barry M Dazzle Dust 51 Mushroom - lid

UD Hustle - outer corner

My Pretty Zombie Illustrated Ink - lower lashline

Hi Fi Cosmetics Lithium - below Illustrated Ink

I got an order from My Pretty Zombie this week, not having tried the company before. Hopefully I will be able to post some swatches and thoughts on what I bought, as I love their shadows.I'm also thinking of swatching the Barry M dazzle dusts if anyone is interested in those :)
