LIME CRIME VENUS PALETTE PART II [#LOTD]

Image
As a follow-up post from my Lime Crime Venus palette review , below are 2 looks that I've created. Colors used: Divine, Rebirth, Shell & Aura  - Using my Zoeva 225 brush, pick up Divine and in a swiping motion apply it on the sockets of your eyes (above your crease). - Gently pat Shell using an eyeshadow brush onto the entire eyelid. - With my Zoeva 230 pencil brush, apply Rebirth on the outerV of my eye. - Using Aura as a highlight color, apply in the inner corners of the eyes and at the center of the eyelids.  - Draw your cat eye and wing it!  - Apply mascara or false lashes for extra glam.   Lip color: Laura Mercier Velour Lovers in Infatuation & Tarteist lip paint in So Fetch. TIP: Avoid using Rebirth above the crease if your goal is to look as natural as possible. A bright crease color may give you the effects of puffy eyes.  Colors used: Creation, Divine, Icon (3ce one color shadown: Gold

At first I was so bummed because I got to know that there will be no further restocks, but now that I've dedicated some time on researching the palette, I'm thankful that the shortage actually helped kill any chance for impulse buying that I initially had.  It's easy to go about finding dupes to the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette but most r

[WHAT TO WEAR?] Black Tie Events

To receive an invitation to a black tie event could be incredibly frustrating, especially for women who doesn't have evening gowns sitting around in the closet. Unless fairy god-mother is on your side to magically transform your basic dresses or you're Olivia Palermo who I believe has an amazing wardrobe ready for every event. But I guess we're neither, so let me introduce Sherry London to you. Sherry London, an online boutique based in the UK , has wide ranges of evening dresses for formal event. It isn't exactly fairy godmother but its close enough, at least it'll save you from potential fashion headache. For a black tie event the first rule of thumb is to be dressy. According to veteran fashion guru Tim Gunn, black tie event doesn't necessarily mean going in a floor length gown. As opposed to traditional standards, matching separates and cocktail dresses fits perfectly in a formal setting today. One thing to always keep in mind, luxurious textiles are a gr
