Neon Blue & Yellow FOTD

Last night I attended a work leaving do with my partner and decided to do a bright, eye-catching (get it?) look! I wore black jeans, a black and white top, with a blue scarf and silver heels, silver headband and silver earrings - see a small pic below.

FOTD

I have some time off work planned, will be back on Wednesday 1st September, so for my "last day" I kinda felt like making an effort lol. So here is my FOTD - a little bit out there but still wearable for work :)

FACE:

No.7 Dual Protection Tinted Moisturiser in medium
Max Factor Pressed Powder in medium beige
Rimmel blush in smoked oyster

EYES:

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Bulbasaur from Shiro Cosmetics for the outer part of my eye
Neon Lights (hot in the city eyeshadow) from Aromaleigh on my lid
Glow (pure eyes frost) from Aromaleigh for my brow highlight
No.7 Smoky Eyeliner for top lashline
Urban Decay Glide On Eye Pencil in Covet for lower waterline
No.7 Exceptional Definition mascara in black

LIPS:

Fyrinnae lip lustre in Bare Shoulders

This is how the make up looked once I'd returned home, I think it all stayed in place pretty well!

As you can see, most of the emphasis goes on my eyes with make up, I will be reviewing my Aromaleigh collection of eyeshadows soon. I've had them a while now but still not gotten round to trying them all out, I did order quite a lot!!

FOTD - using Shiro Cosmetics

 

I used Team Rocket on my outer corners, Zubat on my eyelid, and Meowth above my eyelid.

I'm afraid I haven't yet mastered the skill of being able to take good pictures of my eye yet...

I also used one coat of Extra-Volume Collagene Mascara by L'oreal in black on my top eyelashes, and Bad Gal eyeliner by Benefit in smoldering black on my lower lashline.

I wanted a look that wasn't too dramatic due to work.

Shiro Cosmetics

Ooooo my Shiro Cosmetics order arrived, and within 5 days, can you believe it!! I was so excited when I saw it I started picturing colour combos. Hopefully so will you when you see the pictures.

What I thought was different, apart freom the colours being name after pokemon, was the amount of care Caitlin takes to make your order look pretty. (see pic below) She also includes a personalised hand written note on the back of the Shiro Cosmetics business card which I thought was really sweet.

For £9.49 ($12 + $1.50 shipping) for all the samples I woulnd't have been too disappointed if I didn't like the colours as much as when I saw them on Becky's blog (http://www.sirvinya.com/). You all know what it's like when you see make up on screen, then in real life and it can be very different.

I loved every single colour, and the two free extra samples I was sent (Gengar & Meowth).

I tried out a look using 3 colours to start off with for work, I didn't want it to be too overpowering, but from looking at the range of colours I would say you can get any look you like from these shades.

Overall I find that these shadows are quite pigmented and apply easily, the only problem is I now want to buy the full size pots of every colour!! I may have to spend some time choosing my favourites as I'm not sure I can afford all of them. If you have ordered anything from Shiro, I'd be really interested in what you thought.
