Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow- Intense

Intense is a dark, vibrant, matte teal with amazing color payoff that's sure to make any eye color pop. This shade is very unique, never seen anything quite like it and I don't own anything similar. Not only is it a beautiful shadow, it's an even better liner. 

 It's totally out of my comfort zone but Sephora's description of a dark teal made me curios and I'm glad I picked it up.

Thanks for reading!

Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow- Feline

Hi everyone! Sephora describes Feline ($20 for 0.07oz) as a light matte grey but I found it to be a liiiiittle more towards medium so I'm going to describe it as such. A lovely medium grey with very good pigmentation. Great crease color; I like to pair it with MAC Vanilla e/s on the lid and brow bone. If you have a fancy for mattes Illamasqua makes great mattes, I recommend you check them out if you haven't already done so.

PS...I keep trying to make my font bigger but once I hit publish blogger changes it back to its default font. :/ Sorry if it's too small!

NOTD- OPI Hawaiian Orchid

Hi everyone! Hawaiian Orchid is a sheer-full coverage nude pink with violet shimmer. Usually I like wearing this sheer cause I love the look of natural but polished (pun intended) nails but did 3 coats instead of just one--I was feeling a bit wild. ;P

My top ten favorite MAC shadows

Hi everyone! I love, love, love MAC's neutral shadows. I like my looks simple, do not like wearing a ton of different shadows just not my thing, 3-4 max (4th one being a black shadow to line my eyes so that might not count). What I love about MAC is that their neutrals are great for the fuss free looks I like so much, especially with their great duochromes.

My top ten are:

1) Patina- Antique gold with pink duochrome

2) Vex- Light greyish beige with pink duochrome

3) Vapour- Light pink with blue and violet duochrome

4) Ricepaper- Light golden champagne

5) Crystal Avalanche- Shimmery pure white

6) Brule- Nude (satin finish)

7) Soba- Golden brown with pink shimmer

8) Retrospeck- Champagne with silver microglitter

9) Naked Lunch- Light neutral shimmery pink

10) All that glitters- Shimmery peachy pink

Same order as above

Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow-Pale Rose

Pale Rose is the palest pink with just a hint of pink opal. To die for! I have a soft spot for pink shadows, they are timeless and ever so feminine.

 Formula is pigmented, soft, and blends effortlessly. I don't even have to think about whether or not this is going to look great, last long, or blend well, Burberry did all the work for me and made their shadows fool-proof. They are highest of quality and worth every penny IMO.

Love,

Sonia

CHANEL Safari

 CHANEL does taupe like nobody's business. Their taupes aren't just basic, they are sexy, sensual, luxe, and far from boring or basic. Safari is no exception. The perfect color whether it's for a daytime or a night out on the town without having to do too much effort.
