Roach Busters...

This is Fantasy Makers polish from this year's Halloween display called Roach Busters.  I really like this one.

I'm pretty sure it was the only Fantasy Makers polish I snagged this year, I'm glad I did.

You're Nothing But Lux Excuses...




BROWS:
Wet N Wild pencil.

EYES:
Concrete Minerals eyeshadow primer.
Darling Girl base in Fluff.
TheBodyNeeds shadows in Excuses, Excuses!, Deep Space, and Pink Gold.
Essence liner.
Cover Girl liner (lower).
Loreal Miss Manga mascara.

LIPS:
Wet N Wild lip liner in Willow.  The Body Needs lipstick in Lux over it.
I tried to make a kind of Kylie color by pairing the liner with the lipstick.  Not quite perfect but I like it.


I also really love my top, it has little polar bears on it, aren't they cute?  I got it from Old Navy in a recent sale.

Alaska...

Avon Gel Finish polish in Alaska.

It doesn't look perfect since this is like 5 days old, which being that I don't have more chips I think speaks for the polish pretty well.  It's my first time using the Gel Finish line.  I would totally again.

I also really like the color.

I Smiled Once...



BROWS:
Wet N Wild pencil.

EYES:
Concrete Minerals eyeshadow primer.
Darling Girl base in Fluff.
Darling Girl shadows in I Smiled Once, Autumn Kiss, Pumpkin Fyre, and Prometheus tapped all over the other shadows.
Essence liner.
Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus liner in Black Onyx (lower).
Loreal Miss Manga mascara.

LIPS:
Urban Decay lipstick in F-Bomb.
The shadows are so beautiful in person, and a lot more sparkly then the camera is catching whatsoever, per usual.




 Few edited ones too for fun.

Essence liner.
Urban Decay liner in Black Velvet (lower).

LIPS:

Not 100% on this lipstick really.  I thought it'd be a bit of a different colors when I put it on, lighter maybe.  It's from the WnW Halloween display.
This look was done in collaboration with Denise of Harajuku Girl FL.   We both used shadows from this month's Vanishing Cabinet from Notoriously Morbid, with the main focus being the green shade.

If you want to see Denise's look (and of course you do) click HERE.




Being that these shadows are based on a vampire series I felt this shirt was fitting lol.  I got it yesterday in the mail, it's from Old Navy, still in the clearance, for 5.99.  I snagged a few during a nice sale they had.   I wanted some other shirts to lounge around my apartment in.

MBA shadows in Gypsy, Sugared Plum, and Gaia.
Essence liner.
Loreal Miss Manga mascara.

LIPS:

Today was just one of those days.  A day of falderal.  I messed up my liner with absolutely no time to fix it, had to be out the door.  And I reached for a different lip color then I originally meant to.    I meant to reach for this dark blue shade.  But grabbed this gray.   I will say I like the gray, and I absolutely love the name.  I love the name so much.

Makeup By One Direction Tins...

Here's the big post I've been talking about.  It is picture heavy I warn you but I wanted you to see everything.

I received three tins, though for some reason I got two of the Liam although the third box was clearly marked Harry.  Odd.  But no matter the cover the contents are the same.  So I didn't miss out on any colors to share with you.
 Here's Liam.


I should note there are a total of five tins one with each band member on them, for those of you who want to collect them all.


These are also limited edition.
 And here's Zayn.



I like how it's their pictures on a cork board with a push pin, that's a cute detail.
Inside cover of the Liam tin.  I really love the doodles on the inside cover, that's a really cute touch.




You can also learn more and follow them on Facebook HERE.
Eye Shadows:
Nobody Compares- Metallic silver
Tell Me A Lie- Metallic nude pink 
Same Mistakes- Metallic mint
I Would- Smokey brown shimmer
Summer Love- Smokey purple haze
Everything About You- Smokey black shimmer


Eye Pencil:
I Want- True matte black

Lip Gloss:
Loved You First- Bubble gum pink
One Thing- Frosted pink ice
Irresistible- Shimmered pearl
Heart Attack- Creamy rose shine


Lip Gloss Top Coat:
Over Again- Silver glitter sparkle

Nail Varnish:
Stole My Heart- Magenta pink shimmer
Alive- Multi-coloured glitter flakes

Here is the inside of the Zayn tin.  More adorable doodles.
The back of the tins.

Now you're probably wondering about how they preform.  I did very much enjoy the shadows.  I was sad to see the top three shades are a shimmer overlay really (photos below showing that), BUT I will say the shadows are still nice underneath that overlay.  I wish the shimmer had been thru out, I do love me a shimmer.  But the matte'r colors are nice as well.  As you'll see from the looks at the bottom of the post that you can still clearly get a nice beautiful look using them. 

The bottom three shades do not have an overlay.  They're the same thru out.
I think these tins are perfect for a beginner, or someone just getting into makeup.  And for a One Direction fan, specially a collector of One Direction merch, what a amazing gift it would be.

The tins are keepable and reusable, the makeup is easy to remove.  You could also easily pop these shadows and lip colors out and put them into a Z-Palette.  Then you could easily take these shadows with you (say for traveling) and leave the case displayed at home.  
I left this one blurry so you can really see what I mean about an overlay.


These new sets are available now in stores you can find them at:
Sears USA
Kmart
Target
Walmart Canada
