I used Full Zip (Yes, Please!) to set my lid and then put Unknown (Spectral) in the inner portion of my crease to define the eye. I used the Jumbo Pencil on an angled brush to map out where I wanted my liner and then packed Eeerie (Spectral) over it. I mixed the shades Uplifting and Positive from the blush palette and used it as both a blush and bronzer sort of. I started off with Scandal on the lips but didn't like how it looked so I layered Toasted Marshmallow over the top.

I used the shades Uplifting and Light for my blush. For my lips I lined with Celebrity Skin, filled everything in with Can't Relate, and took a little bit of Toasted Marshmallow just in the centre of my lips. For my eyes I worked dark to light, starting with the 2nd darkest matte in the Juvia's Place palette in my crease and on the outer corners. I blended that out with the magenta shade, and then blended the magenta out with the lightest matte. There wasn't enough depth so I took the darkest matte through the crease and packed it onto the outer corners. The lower lash line is the magenta shade blended out with the lightest matte. I cut my lid using glitter glue and packed on Easter Egg from VR Neon, adding Princess Cut to the inner corner too.

I started with Boss (VR Neon) on the outer corner and through the crease and then blended it out with Voltaic (Electro-Turquoise), then I sprayed Hologram (VR Neon) and packed it onto the lid - I had a lot of glitter fall out so I should have used glitter glue. I have Hypnotic on the lower lash line and Rose Quartz on the inner corner. I don't really love this look.

My blush is a mixture of Positive and Smile from the OPV palette with Bee from the Juvia's Place palette. For my liner I used the Jumbo Pencil as a base and then packed Glitch (VR Neon) on top. I used the Essence bronzer as my bronzer and the Revlon one for my freckles.

This turned out exactly how I wanted and I couldn't be happier! The blush shade I used was Tau. For the green eye I started with Glitch (VR Neon) as my transition then deepened the crease and outer corner with Tutsi (Tribe), I have the same shades on the lower lash line. On the orange side I used Bratty as my transition then deepened the crease and outer corner by mixing Cannonball with Spoiled from Yes, Please! - on the lower lash line I have Spoiled blended out with Bratty. On both eyes I cut the lid, keeping it very low, and packed on Lemonade, I also put Koro (Tribe) on my inner corners. I'm just really happy with the way all these colours worked together.

I really like this look and think it could be a go-to for me! My skin looked great and wore really well, the only issue I had wearing this was my mascara flaking. For my eyes I used Rebirth (Venus) through my crease and under my eyes, then Muse (Venus) on the outer corners and a little bit through the crease. I've got Infrared (Cyber Bronze) on the lid and a little bit of Soft & Gentle on the inner corners.

Colourpop Blue Moon Palette

Colourpop Creme Gel Liner in Insomniac

Essence Volume Stylist Mascara

I don't love this look but it's okay. I started with Bubblegum (Jawbreaker) in the first part of my crease and lower lash line, then I ran Starry Eyed (Blue Moon) through the rest of my crease and used Moonlite (Blue Moon) to soften the edges. I deepened with Delicious (Jawbreaker) before cutting the crease and setting it with Virgin (Jawbreaker).

I like how grungy this turned out, I can definitely see myself wearing this again. For the eyes I started with X-Files on the outer corner and through my crease, I also have it on the outer half of my lower lash line. I used Gravitea to blend it all out and then cut my crease with glitter glue. I've got Moon Rock on the centre of the lid and Interstellar on the inner portion, with Ice Cold on the very inner corner. For my blush I used a mixture of Martian Soil and Titan and although it ended up being subtle because I went over with more powder to blend it in, I think it looks nice. The tone ended up being surprisingly flattering.

I used Fuck mixed with Good Morning as my blush and I think it looks really cute (both from Jawbreaker). For the eyes I used Suck as my transition shade and under my eyes, then deepened the outer corner with a mix of Licorice and Suck (both from Jawbreaker). I used Good Morning to soften any harsh edges. I cut my crease and packed Abduction (Alien) on the lid.

I started with Mischief (Yes, Please!) in the inner portion of my crease, then took Digiteal (Electro-Turquoise) on the outer corners and through the crease - I also have it on my lower lash line. I blended Digiteal out with Forcefield and then cut my lid with glitter glue before packing Tron onto it, and on the very inner corner I've got Shockwave (all from Electro-Turquoise).

I only set my concealer for this look, I didn't set my foundation and only used cream products and I really like how my skin looks! For the eyes I used tape to get a sharp line and then used the product straight from the doe-foot, Watermelon Soda on the outer half, Yummy on the inner. I used the NYX eyeliner to clean up and to brighten my waterline.

I really like this lipstick and need to start wearing it more !! For my eyes I started with Radioactive (Sci-Fi Green) through my crease, then deepened with Martian Soil (Alien) - which I also packed onto the outer corners. I used Titan (Alien) to blend out any harsh edges. I cut my lid with glitter glue then packed Donor (Blood Sugar) on the middle of the lid to meet with Martian Soil, and Nuclear (Sci-Fi Green) on the rest of the lid. For my lower lash line I just have a little bit or Radioactive and Martian Soil, with Peach Goddess on my inner corners.

Suva Beauty Hydra FX in Cherry Bomb

Colourpop Super Shock Cheek in Flexitarian

Essence Volume Stylist Mascara

I don't know if I like this or not. I mapped out where I wanted the liner with Note to Self (Yes, Please!) and blended it out because I wanted a smokey liner. Then I popped the liner on and blended it out using French Kiss from the palette. I went in with a bit more of Note to Self and then Full Zip just to make sure everything was looking clean and did the same on the lower lash line. I had to go over the liner a bit because it faded with the eyeshadows.

Colourpop Pressed Powder Shadow in Let's Do It

For blush I used a mix of the shades Tau and Leena and for my lips I used a light lip liner just to outline the shape, then applied lip balm and packed on black shadow because I don't own a black lipstick. I started the eyes with Glitch as my transition shade, also packing it onto the outer corners. In the inner portion of my upper crease/nose bridge area I put Level Up for a little pop. I cut the crease with concealer and packed on Lemonade. I used Glitch to tidy up the cut crease but it oxidised really weirdly and I also had bald patches on the outer corners. I used Boss on the lower lash line and have Flexitarian on the inner corners.

July Empties

EMPTIES

JULY 2020

• Cutex Nourishing Nail Polish Remover 100mL ($4.80) - I like this and would repurchase it, it removes my nail polish easily and doesn't seem to damage my nails. The bottle I've moved on to is from Sally Hansen so we'll see if there's much of a difference between them.
• Fenty Beauty Fly Liner in Cuz I'm Black 0.2mL (SAMPLE) - I hated this. It dried up after one use, which I guess makes sense because this is only a sample size but like, really!? The felt tip just doesn't work for me, I feel like I don't have any control over it and it's actually really difficult to get product out and applied evenly. I'm just going to keep buying my NYX Epic Ink Liner because this just showed me that felt tips aren't the move for me. 
• Alpha-H Micro Cleanse Super Scrub 30mL (SAMPLE) - I really liked this exfoliator and I think would definitely buy this in the future. It's $50 for 100mL and the 30mL lasted me well over six months so I think it's definitely worth it. This wasn't too rough for my sensitive skin and I love how it's a mix of a chemical and physical exfoliator. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and has really helped even out my skin texture too! 
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in 010 Light Porcelain ($18.95) - I love this foundation, I've been using it for nearly four years now and it's never done me wrong. It lasts beautifully on my skin and I love that it's just sheer enough to look like skin and let my freckles peek through, but has enough coverage to hide my redness. When this wears away it fades it doesn't crack or crease, but it can settle into lines. I love that this has a natural finish too, it's not too dewy or too matte. Really my only issue with it is that the colour is slightly too dark for me and that the shade range is very small for this foundation. 
• Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber, And Green Tea 118mL ($11.00) - I know this doesn't do anything really but I just like using it. I use this to re-hydrate my sponge, meld powder into my skin, finish off my makeup to give it a dewy look, and calm my skin if it's feeling a bit irritated. This isn't something I'm going to instantly repurchase, but if I'm trying to reach free shipping or something I'll chuck one of these in the cart because I know I'll use it.
• Swisspers Cotton Tips 240pk ($3.75) - I like the size of these and they come in handy for just about everything so I'll continue to buy them. 
• Stila Iridescent Glitter & Glow Liquid Shadow Mini Trio ($36.00) - This was a birthday present last year but I didn't end up using these as much as I thought I would. The shades in this set were Embellish, Dollish, and Stylish, and they're all very neutral. Stylish was a champagne gold topper shade, Embellish was a rose gold taupe topper shade, and Dollish was a more opaque coral colour with a strong gold glitter. They just weren't colours I really gravitate towards so I never used them. Stylish and Embellish dried out but Dollish is still usable, but I know I won't use it so I'm deciding to call this empty. I wouldn't repurchase these shades or the minis again because they dried out too quickly for me. My favourite Glitter & Glow shades are the duochrome toppers, like Deception. 
• Swisspers Make Up Pads 80 Pack ($3.99) - I liked these, they didn't fall apart on me and held a lot of makeup remover so I feel like I used less of these than I do with other brands. 

Total value of products used up: $78.50
