Blast from the Past: Unknown Palette

Sadly, there's no label or anything on this eyeshadow palette so I have nooo idea where it's from. =( Sowwie, but I am actually pretty happy with it! I made some fun looks with it. For some reason, I've been noticing, that the photos I upload to Blogger turn out far lighter than they really are. Does anyone else get that problem? So anyways, the pictures don't really do the looks justice, so I might start darkening them before uploading them. But anyways! Here's the palette!:

They're not amazing quality eyeshadows, but I do love the fun colors. And they show up pretty well when I do a few applications, and if I had used primer, it might of been even easier. But like I've said before, I'm cheap, and don't wanna waste the stuff. Especially after the videos I've seen of people having to saw open their Urban Decay primer to get the rest out, LOL. Here's the two looks I tried out!:

Aqua Look:

I used the aqua on half my lid and mushroom(?) color on the other half. I then also did the same thing underneath my eye. I then put a bit of the beige color under my brow but you can't really tell.

Funky Look:

I used the orange color on my lid, then the dark green on half of my crease and the lime green on the other half of my crease. Under the brow I used the white color.

What do you guys think? Have you rediscovered any old products of yours and learned to love em again? Lol.

Blast from the Past: The Color Workshop

I tried swatching them but they're so lightly pigmented that it was kind of impossible, HAHA. I achieved this look with the help of Urban Decay Primer and loads and loads of application. Not sure if I'll bother keeping it? What do you guys think?

I put the lightest/white shade under my brow, the darkest blue in my crease, and the baby blue color on my lid.

Didn't search for too long, but I don't know where you'd buy The Color Workshop products these days. Not sure you'd want to anyways. =X There's some products on Amazon but not this specific palette.

Blast from the Past: Maybelline Color Delights

Maybelline Color Delights in Antique Golds

So one of the first items I was excited to look at from my sister's box of goodies was this pot of cream shadows. Largely because I had one of my own when I was younger and remember I loved it sooo much and constantly used it, hahaha.

Not sure how I feel about these...or cream shadows in general. I have far more luck with powdered ones, which I think is probably the consensus among makeup users? Could be wrong. But yeah, it's hard to do a whole look with just this pot, cos I find it's hard to blend em because it kind of just turns into a mess? Haha. I do really like the lightest color though, I think that probably would make for a great highlight color. So I'll probably keep this, but just for a highlight color and maybe for the lid. Cos when it comes to the crease or anything else, it just gets too tricky. Plus, my eyes are oily enough as it is, and the cream certainly doesn't help!

But anyways, here are the looks I did try out!:

Lightest color on the inside, the slightly darker brown on the outside, then the lighter color again on the top.

Lightest color under the brow, the reddish brown on my lid and then tried using the slightly darker brown on the crease but it kind of failed. =(

As you can tell, it begins to look like I'm using self tanner on my eyes or something?? LOL. Which isn't exactly the most attractive look, but hey, I tried!!

Looks like they still sell it here?:

And some people on EBAY are selling em!

But overall, cream shadows = boooo. Haha.

Blast from the Past!!!

The other night, I was searching in my sister's room for any makeup I could play with for blogging, and she was like "Look in the pink thing" and I was like =O!!!! FUNNNNNN I REMEMBER THEEEESE, lol, a good ol blast from the past. So I decided to do some looks with them / swatches / see if they're still worth keeping and if they're still sold anywhere.

Since there's quite a bit in there, I'm probably gonna do separate posts for each.

I just wanted to let y'all know what's to come! I'll prolly have a post for one of em up tonight, cos I've already done looks with 3 of the things in this lovely box of goodies, so. =)
