Sea of Blue Green of Eye Of The Day May 30

Here is a fun EOTD from May 30. I wanted to wear something that called attention and this did the trick. This is what it looks like:
I only used drug store products. If you want to tone this down you can leave out the rhinestones or put less. I  might do a how to post on this EOTD (I already have the pictures, which even shows what it is like without the rhinestones) but I still have not decided. One thing I really love about this EOTD is that it really brings out the golden tone my eyes have. What are your favorite colors to bring out your eyes?

Nars Day & Night Palette Review & Swatches

Recently I did a post mentioning how there was NARS makeup in Marshalls. On that trip I ended up buying an eye shadow palette. It is the Day And Night palette. It has six shades. The shades which are in this palette are Abyssinia, Cleo, Sugarland, Underworld, Fathom, and Night Breed.

As for the review:
Amount: There is .04 oz of every eyeshadow. In a normal Nars single eyeshadow there is .07 oz.
Amount Comparison: In a MAC eyeshadow there is .05 oz. In a Urban Decay eyeshadow there is .05 oz. 
Here is what the palette looks like:
Overview:
Abyssinia is a shimmery peach pearl. This is my favorite color in the top row. I would describe Sugarland as an orange brown shimmer. This is my least favorite shade of the top row. The reason is that it does not seem to be as easy to work with as the other shades in terms of showing up. For that same reason you would need to put a eye shadow primer when using it.  Fathom is a baby pink with shimmer.
Here are swatches for the top row:

Without Flash
The bottom three shades are more dark. Cleo is a shimmery baby blue. Underworld is a black but with navy blue undertones. This is my favorite from the bottom row. It is also my favorite from the whole palette. Night Breed is a black with glitter. If you want the glitter to stay on make sure that you put a primer or a sticky base because it will fall out. 
Here are swatches for the bottom three shades:
With Flash
Without Flash
Three of the shades in this palette are still available in single form. Those three shades are: Abyssinia, Fathom, & Night Breed.  
Quality: Overall I think this palette is okay. I just am not loving the top row. The only shade that kind of impresses me in the top row is Abyssinia. The same can not be said for the bottom row. I LOVE the colors. They are all easy to work with. As I said previously my favorite shade has to be Underworld (ironic because I really like the movie). I recently did a look using underworld here is a link Gloomy Storm.The shade that would be followed after Underworld would have to be Night Breed. As mentioned previously I would suggest the use of an eye shadow primer. This will just ensure that the eye shadows will stand out and not move. 
Would I recommend it? This really varies. If you like the eye shadow shades and do not mind working with some of the shades more then go ahead. I would also recommend this if you could get it for a really good price (thanks marshalls!). I would not recommend this if you do mind having to work a little more with certain shades. 
Side Note: I am going to do a separate post which will feature possible dupes & substitutions for each of the shades.

Gloomy Storm Eye Of The Day: May 3 (Dupes & How To)

This is an eotd I did using urban decay & NARS eye shadows. This is a really good look especially if you want to make your eyes pop. This is something I think would go great with prom. What I like most about this look is that the pop of color is not overwhelming. 

Products Used:
Eye Shadow Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Eye Shadow (Shade 1): Urban Decay Money (Book Of Shadows 3)
Eye Shadow (Shade 2): Urban Decay Haight (Book Of Shadows 3, it is a permanent shade in Sephora)
Eye Shadow (Shade 3): NARS Underworld  (Day & Night Palette)
Eyeliner (upper lash line): NYC Liquid Eyeliner in Pearlized Black
Mascara Primer: Hard Candy 1,000 Lashes Fiberized Lash Weave Primer
Mascara: L'oreal Telescopic Explosion, Cover Girl Lash Blast Length



Substitutions:
Most of these shades are limited edition so here are dupes & or substitutions for each of the shades: 
Urban Decay Money: This is a grey with green undertones and it is kinda of metallic looking. I do not have a specific color but I would use a light silver & then over that put a little olive over it. 
Urban Decay Haight: This is a blue green. It is not limited edition. A dupe for it is Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow in 155 Turquoise Jewel.  
NARS Underworld: This is a black with a navy blue undertones. A dupe for it is Sally Girl eyeshadow in White Chocolate. These eyeshadow retails for .99 cents!
I might do a future post showing both of the dupes in comparison to the original shade
Here is how to achieve this look:
First start with a clean eye & prime it (this is so it will last all day or night)
Then apply the first shade to the inner half of your eyelid. 
Apply the second shade on the outer half of your eyelid (leave a little space in the outer corner). Make sure to take it up a bit into the crease. 
Blend the second shade
Put the third shade in the space you left & take it up to your crease
Apply the third shade into the lower lash line 
Apply a thin line of eyeliner (I used liquid)
Apply Mascara
(Finish the rest of your face) & You are done!
*If you want to make this more dramatic you can tightline & add  false eye lashes!*

Midnight Sun Eye Of The Day

Here is the long over due EOTD I did using wetnwild's color icon eyeshadow trio in "I Got Good Jeans". Since I did this look so long ago I do not remember what I used on the rest of my face other than I used airbrush makeup. I used Dinair for my foundation and; to conceal anything. I used three mascaras Hard Candy 1,000 Lashes Fiberized Lash Weave Primer, Sephora Lash Plumper, & Cover Girl Lash Blast Length.
