Shiro Haul: Mother of Dragons and Not Very Effective

My sample size of Not Very Effective getting dangerously low prompted me to buy my very first full sized eye shadow from Shiro Cosmetics.  I also picked up Mother of Dragons because I love Daenerys and Game of Thrones.

I also made sure to mention that I love pink and purple eye shadow and of course Shiro came through by giving me the perfect samples :)

So here is Mother of Dragons.  First off I love the art, not going to lie it was 70% of the reason I got the full size instead of the smaller size. The color is nice too.  When swatched it looks to be a pretty even mix of red, purple, and silver.  However when on, at least on my skin, the red is what shows up the most.  Overall I have no regrets! <3

Not Very Effective is my favorite purple crease color.  I wore the sample a lot and I'm glad to finally have the full size. I know I've swatched this before but oh well you can look at its prettiness again!

And here is a quick look I did using Mother of Dragons on my lid and Not Very Effective in my crease.

And here are swatches of the two samples I got.  Ever in Your Favor is from the Hunger Games collection and based off of the extravagant Effie Trinket.  Also it is the most beautiful pink ever.  I am seriously going to be sad when this is gone.  From what I could find I'll Move That For You is MineCraft themed, I've never played it so I don't quite understand the reference but its still pretty so I'm happy.

Here is a look I did using Ever in Your Favor on my lid, Mother of dragons in my crease, and I'll Move that For You in the outer corner.

Oh also just because its related here is a picture I started a while ago of The Mother of Dragons that I never found time to finish. Maybe one day.

March Makeup Obsession

So at the end of every month I'd like to share a certain look or products that I have been particularly obsessed with. This month I have been seriously crushing on purple and red eye shadow combinations! The products above are the three shadows that I have been using quite frequently in various combinations and places to create some seriously awesome looks. Below I'm going to share with you a fairly basic look using these three shadows!

To get this look I put NYX loose pigent on the lid, BH Cosmetics Aphrodite in the crease, and then put Not Very Effective on the outer corner and as a liner.

On my lips I'm wearing BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Speak your Mind

Now, I wanna talk a little bit about these three shadows.

NYX Loose Pearl Eye Shadow in Purple: This is a loose pigment that has a very pretty light purple hue.  It goes on very easy and I experience little to no fall out from it. It is such a pretty color and has been on of my go to purples for a while.

Where to buy: Nyxcosmetics.com, ulta, drugstores

Price: $3.00

BH Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Aphrodite: This shadow is from the Galaxy Chic palette which I want so bad! I got the single eye shadow from an ipsy bag and I absolutely love it.  It goes on smooth and pigmented and when used wet as an eyeliner has incredible color pay off.

Shiro Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Not Very Effective: This is such an incredible pretty deep purple with some red sparkle.  I'm almost out of my sample so I recently placed an order for the full size because I can't live without it.  Plus its Pokemon themed so win win.
