I'm excited. I hit 600 Facebook likes yesterday. That made me happy. For some, that's not a lot, but for me, that's great!! Especially since I really just started getting into it. Woohoo!! Anyway,
it's been a week since I blogged. Fashion week is here and life has just been crazy. But I recently started updating my facebook often, so please follow me there. Anyway, let's talk the new Smashbox Icon Palette which has been my go-to evening palette for the last few weeks. I probably wouldn't rock this palette during the day, as I think the colors might be a little too dark. But for night, the deep and intense shades of this palette work perfectly for a sexy smokey eye. Click below to read more and see a look I created using the palette.
Left to right: Alabaster, Thunder, Blackout, Roast, Black Currant, Seafoam |
The palette contains six extremely pigmented colors. Seriously, these shadows show up really well without me having to pat them down so much. These blend super easy too. I also love that these aren't too powdery so there's very minimal fall out. The first one (Alabaster) is champagne shade. The second (Thunder) a medium gray with shimmer. The third (Blackout) a matte black. The fourth (Roast) is a bronze. The fifth (Black currant) a medium matte purple, and the sixth Seafoam is silver. It also comes with a tiny double sided brush.
I only used the brush to apply the eyeshadow over my bottom eyeliner. The other side of the brush was a little to small for my big lids. Anyway, I used this shadow on Fashions Night out. It's not the best pic as I took it six hours after applying and I was a bit sweaty after having a blast with my girls but you get the idea.
I used the champagne shade all around the lid, I applied the purple to the outer corner and slightly above the crease, and the black just on the outer corner. The palette retails for $39.00 and is available at Sephora. That lipstick I have on is my new obsession. Hourglass in Raven. (Although I actually rocked this smokey eye with a nude lip, I thought it would be nice to show you my favorite red.)
Anyway if you're looking for a cool smokey deep palette, you may want to give the Smashbox Icon palette a whirl. I like it-alot!
I've also been having lots of fun at Fashion week. I always find people dressed so interesting. I spotted these two yesterday. Look at their hats.
I hope you guys are doing awesome.
Anything new in your world?
Hugs,
Milly
