Foiled aqua

Eye foiling is a technique that is intended to eyes a more dramatic look. It is most often used for nighttime makeup, although some also use it during the day. While foiling typically includes metallic, shimmer, glimmer, or glitter eye shadows and liners, it is also possible to use the same technique with any loose or caked eye shadow that can be mixed with water. More mature women often prefer a mixture of foil and standard shadows.
This definition is from e how style.

I have never tried this technique before, So I pulled out some pigments and gave it a try
I mixed a little powder with makeup forever eye seal and it turned into sort of a paste but
Applied smooth and very pigmented, the benefit of this is that it makes your shadows so much more pigmented. (The eye seal also makes it waterproof) Used with a liner brush this can be used to make your own eyeliners

Do be warned The definition says you can do this with other shadows that can be mixed with water, Most matte shadows CAN NOT be mixed with water, in fact if you get them wet they are ruined so be careful

On to the pictures:














Sorry this one has sooo much flash





A diva wink

More hauling pt 3 INGLOT

So I started seeing inglot on quite a few you tube videos a little over a year ago. As with any new brand/ product I hear about I started doing my research. If I'm not mistaken at that time it was only available online and they were just about to open a store in New York. The web site was crazy hard to navigate, and I was concerned about ordering one thing and receiving another in the mail. So When I went to the inglot in Vegas I bought my first palette and it was so pigmented. When I found that there is one in San Francisco I had to go. Not only are these eye shadows super pigmented but the are very reasonably priced, $5 a shadow and $7 for the rainbow shadows.

This is the three color palette my friend bought

This is the palette I bought in  Vegas, as you can see there were
lots of empty spots I figured I had lots of room for growth













Swatches of the new colors I bought


I got this in San Francisco, Two blushes and a Face powder for I think $35.

My updated palette, still lots of room for growth

Yellow + Blue = GREEN!












So I did this look with only blue and yellow shadow, And the illusion of green in the middle is just the two blended together, Awesome right?
There is a different shade on the brow bone, and brown to fade the edge

Bronze And Blue LOTD

I like how this turned out , but all the other pictures of my full face came out with too much flash or blurry so you'll just have to enjoy this one eye. I'm trying to get better at photography, sometimes in the rush of leaving for the morning I just dont have the time to be taking a bunch of pictures.  There are also times I cant find my camera. Oh well.

Hope you enjoyed

use it.

 I wanted more nudes for blending and for $18.95 This palette has a lot more product for less than half of the price.

This is not my first time ordering from coastal scents and they did not fail to please
The brushes they sell always hold up for me, also the palettes I have purchased
