Talk a Walk on Sunset BLVD







Jesse's Girl Eyedust in "Sunset BLVD" on lid
Shimmer cream color from old AVON palette
Matte brown from same old AVON palette

To be honest I really liked this look, even if it was "neutral". :p Sunset BLVD is so fucking awesome, it's brown yet orange yet pink, and full of sparkle!

Sweet Little Demon







Light pink shimmer color from WnW "Lust" palette
Jesse's Girl Eyedust in "Fruit Punch"
Morgana Cryptoria shadow in "Concubine"

Another old LOTD I never got around to posting. This look matched PERFECTLY with my rose-printed skirt, which I loved. :D I'm really sick again so don't expect and "new" looks for a little while, but I will be posting a whole bunch of looks that I have collecting dust on my computer, I just won't be able to fully fill them in like I normally do. :p PS, beware of spelling and grammar errors. xD

E.L.F Holiday Palette Haul, Swatch, Review & LOTD

I went into my very first Walgreens the other day when I drove two damn hours looking for the WnW holiday palettes. I used my GPS to find three Walgreens and five CVSs with no luck at all. =( I did, however, find this which is pretty interesting:



This palette has totally changed my mind about ELF products, and now I want to try more of their stuff! The only colors that were crappy were the bright purple and blue, and the matte brown.




Some quick eye swatches I did to play with the colors as soon as I opened this baby up (I also used the eyeliner that came with it, which I DO NOT like as it hurt and tugged, ouch!):



Then, an actual look:







I actually used this on Thanksgiving and the above look is my (failed) recreation of what I wore. The Thanksgiving look was soooo perfect, and much darker than this, but what do you expect when you have 10 minutes to do your makeup when you're going to work and already running late? :p

Needless to say, I do reccommend this! I'm going to try to find more and now I'm interested in what else they have to offer. :)

High Voltage Halloween Collection Looks (Pic Heavy)

I have four looks using only the High Voltage Halloween collections. I really adore these shadows, they are so smooth and easy to blend, and right now they're back for a limited time so go get them! I'll be doing a full review on this company in the near future once my most recent order comes in the mail (any day now, I'm so pumpped!) and I can try and fully use more of their products. :)

The first three I did right after I recieved these, the last one is from yesterday.







Trick or Treat on lid,
Vampire's Kiss in crease







Bloody Mary on lid,
Graveyard Dirt in crease







Tombstone on lid,
Witches' Brew in crease








Ghost Town on inner corners,
Zombie Chic on lid,
Swamp Thing in crease
Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in Serpent on lips (discontinued, one of my fav lippies! This was after I wore it for 6 hours at work and eating! Amazing stuff!)

Need Your Help...

I'd really like your help/opinions.

I'm looking for new brushes....

I've really been interested in the Sigma brushes, but something about the brand seems "meh". I don't know what it is but it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. All of the reviews I've seen are from mainly "big name" youtubers that like to call themselves "gurus" (which I can't fucking stand, which is why I don't watch makeup vids on YT anymore) and I dunno... I'd really like you all to weigh in because I KNOW you guys will give me straight up opinions because you're not just saying shit to get more views, you guys review stuff because you are looking for nothing less than the best quality.

I'm mainly looking for some face brushes, like a duo fiber for applying my liquid foundation, a better powder brush, ect. Also looking for some blending brushes and other unique brushes, and Sigma seems to offer quite a few which is why I've been so interested.

I have a few Sonia Kashuk ones that I'm quite pleased with... but my face brushes are all travel-sized Posh ones I got from Kmart a few years ago when I first started doing makeup, and I REALLY need a change. I have burn scars, acne scars and some current acne that I cover up and that's why I though a duo fiber brush would be good for me. The ecotools sets look pretty nice too, and I know Phyrra uses them all the time so they must be pretty good, but I'd be mainly getting those for eye brushes since they don't offer what I'm looking for in the face brush department.

Any help, suggestions or opinions you guys could give me would be sooooo greatly appriciated. :) I fully trust you all and I know there's no one else better to ask! I fucking love you guys!
