Projects ~ It's All I Can Blue Eyes For Autism Awareness Month

'We're staying in the style of the Autism Awareness Month, cause I did these blue eyes recently. I wanted to match my eyes with my nails <here>. So I pulled out a few eyeshadows, put on some BB cream again (what I barely did the past two months) and flied through my lipglosses. And here is the result for blue eyes.'

'I used my T-Mart Palette for the blue and a few browns. With an smaller brush I drawn a darker blue under my eyes which is from a palette by Max. (available at the Dutch Action) Some NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean for my waterlines, and a soft touch of Essence Stay With Me Lipgloss in My Favorite Milkshake, a smooth peachy/ apricot color.'

It's the most right color ^_^

Projects ~ A Flowery Comparison With LA Colors 3 Colour Palettes (CherryCulture) And Max Eyeshadow Trio's (Action)

'Yesterday I had an purchase post where I mentioned a Max Eyeshadow Trio wich you can buy in Holland at the Action. Now, I was keep thinking and I came to the next discovery. These Max Eyeshadow Trio's doesn't look at all like the NYX trio's, but they do look like the LA Colors 3 Colour Palettes. So I went back to the Action today, and buy a few more for only €0,75.' 

'Because I don't own any LA Colors 3 Colour Palettes, I googled to the Cherry Culture site, and it seems I am right: LA Colors 3 Colour Palettes are almost the same as the Dutch Max Eyeshadow Trio's. The pans are looking the same, and even a couple of colors have the same name...'

'First a couple of pics from my newest Max Eyeshadow Trio's with some swatches. As you can see, Lotus, Sunflower and Passion Flower are the same as the palettes from LA Colors. Action sells also the black palette as Black Rose instead of Lily, while the Lily color from Max is called at LA Colors Magnolia. Same with Forget-Me-Not from LA Colors, Max called that one Jasmine if I'm not mistaken (The Jasmine one is added to my wishlist, because our Action was running low on these palettes allready. I couldn't find it anyway, else I had picked it up today).'

'Next screenshot proves that the pans and the color range is the same like LA Colors 3 Colour Palettes. Sunflower, Passion Flower and Lotus are the same. I didn't found Peony, Waterlily, Marigold, Dandelion, Iris or a look- a- like of them. The Max Orchid has another colorrange, that palette contains a white, a gold and a pink instead the neutrals you get from LA Colors.'

Purchases ~ Random Things July 2012

'Yesterday I made a few little purchases for this month wich I want to share with you. It's not a lot, but it's at least something.'

' First I was in need for a new bottle of Nailpolish remover. I bought this big orange bottle from my local Dutch drugstore Etos. It was only €0,98. The other thing I needed, was a new package of cotton pads to clean my eye make up. I bought my cotton pads at the Action, a cheap bargain shop, wich is a hit or a miss for me, but these pads works fine. It was only €0,52.'

'Next I picked up this Limited Edition Ultimate Laquer from Catrice. The collection is called Coolibri, and because I can't have enough yellow, I picked Twist Of Lemon. I will do I Nails of the Weekend or Nails of the Week post with it soon. It was €2,50.'

'Lastly I had to visit the Action also for a new nailpolish in Real Nude, wich was only €0,45. It's a purply-mauvy color, but on the pic it looks more cranberry- ish, I love it. First coat was a little sheer but with two coats it's fine. It's perfect for an early fall look. The other thing I picked up was this eyeshadow palette in Lily. It was only €0,75 an absolute bargain. Like I said Action could be a hit or a miss, but this palette is good for the price. At least it is pigmented, not overwhelming pigmented, but a neutral look with an pop of color works fine for my lids.'

'Somehow the Max Eyeshadowpalettes reminds me of the NYX trio's. It's not an exact dupe if we're looking at the package, but you know, it's a trio, and the palettes have the same size. I planned to pick up some more of these Max palettes, cause I'm really curious about the neutral palette wich is called Sunflower and a few others. They are defenately better then Action's baked eyeshadows, wich are hard and nasty to use.'
