Okay! Nymph is on the list for pics along with the Stonewashed Nudes dupes. I need to take some more pics soon. Any lippies anyone wants to see?

Whisper is also a great highlight. Nymph is grey but Whisper is pink - again great for the office whithout being dull.

I absolutely love the stone wash pallet. My fav combo with that is (for office) bone all over the lid to brow bone, aztec from outer lower lid to mid pupil (blending into the bone colour), then terra in the crease from outer corner to mid pupil. This combo really makes my blue eyes pop :D

Happy buying Jen
Foundation: 1: baggie 6: ebony: 7 glow
Fav blush: Steller

Fav combo: cream 1st half of lid, 09:59 2nd half, chocolate twinkle in the crease with Blackheart over it blended out and vanillia on brow bone.

Love, love, love Whisper - especially foiled. That, with Idolize and Taupetastic (also foiled) has to be one of my fave combos. Very sparkly, but etherial.

Dolce, Gator Green, and Bling can make for a very nice subdued smokey eye.

I decided to play today - it worked. Babydoll blush (really nice, and looks very natural on me, but with a nice pinkish flush) and Berry Nice lippie to top it off.

Love Babydoll! Today I *really* played & tried something different for me,lol. Wasn't leaving the house so just put a few drops of squalane on a damp face as moisturizer. I didn't wait for it to absorb,ROFL...sprinkled my SN in my palm, dabbed my fingers into my palm & sort of rolled/pressed the SN on & blended. Forbidden (NARS Outlaw) blush, Seedy topped w/Berry Crush lippie, Love Lure *after* blotting my face,LOL...should have let the squalane soak in at least *somewhat*! Siren Glow lightly as wash lashes to brow. High Beam inner half, Dolce outer half, Chocolate Twinkle liner, SN mascara. Had fun, all that rolling & playing & pressing,hehe.

Well, i am too lazy to take a pic today but my EOTD was:

-cream concealer as a primer
-wash of Vanilla lash to brow and line just to "brighten" my eye area (i've been sick, needed the help).
-High Beam to highlight (lash to brow)
-Breathe over lid
-Teal appeal on outer corners and to line the outer 3/4 of the lower lid

I don't normally wear pastels(in fact, i don't usually wear "color" I'm more of a brown/neutral girl) but this look was very pretty and very "spring" and I felt adorable in it. Wore it to work with my sassy blush, seedy lips, and my hair in pigtails. lol

Okay, you totally had me until the mascara! I could just about picture it until then! Are you doing some kind of test? You have my interest piqued! :?

Yep, I was doing a test with myself, ROFL! I'm notoriously picky,lol, & I wanted to compare side-by-side the SN mascara & my normal go-to,Lash Exact. I wanted to see whether one outperformed the other. It's too difficult to tell by using one one day & the other the next! :idea: Only way to gauge was to wear both on the same day to compare staying power & effect. Neither wilted my curl or flaked or smudged, just a nicely defined fringe. So the SN mascara passed my own personal tests. :D I'm not as ingredient-driven as many justifiably are; I look at performance. SN mascara performed!

Hi!

I am new.. and I wanted to share a colour combo I tried over the weekend, nothing spectacular, but I really liked the result.

"Berry Crush" topped with "Infatuation" . That´s it. I had orange and lilac eyeshadows on and this combo suited it so well!!
