Purple and Teal Graphic Liner FOTD

When I put my favorite flannel on this morning I got the urge to do an eye look to match.  I'm not sure how I got there but I ended up doing a graphic liner of sorts.  I don't have too much experience doing this kind of thing but I still liked how it  came out.


To start I covered my upper lid in Urban from the Electric Palette.  Then I took Blackout by Urban Decay on a small brush and carefully outlined a wing and in my crease.  I only had to use my makeup remover pen 10 times to get this to look decent...Regardless, I then blended Blackout into the purple which looking back I probably should have used a different brush for.  Blending with the flat part of my liner brush was not a good idea.  I finished the look by taking Shiro Cosmetic's Maiden Queen and lining under my eye.
Lip is Mary Kay gloss in Berry Tart.

MAC Rocky Horror Nail Polish in Formidable

So I was lucky enough to get my hands on MAC's Rocky Horror Limited Edition items for my mom and I.  For myself I picked up the blush and the black glitter.  My mom got the Riff Raff palette and both nail polishes. Today I want to share with you the nail polish in Formidable. Excuse the mess I painted these in a hurry.


This color is a duo toned nail polish, shifting between dark purple and a tealish green.  It is very interesting and unique however I feel that sometimes as the purple and green collide it can appear a bit too brown for my taste.  I am so excited to try out the other nailpolish next weekend when I go home.  As for the formula this was my first time trying a MAC nail polish and honestly I'm not all that impressed.  It took 3 coats to build this color to full opacity.  With OPI and Zoya, my two go to nail polish brands I only need one or two. Overall its a pretty nice color but I'm not sure I would ever personally pay this much for a nail polish. This color is part of their perminent collection.
Where to buy: MAC, Nordstrom, Macy's
Price: $12

Urban Decay Pressed Pigment in Fringe from the Electric Palette on my Lips

I had so much fun with putting Urban on my lips I just had to try with one of my favorite colors from the palette, Fringe!


I also put a tad bit in my hair for extra awesome.  My friend told me I look like an electric mermaid....I am totally ok with this.  On my cheeks I applied Jilted as lightly as possible.  

I love this palette.

Flormar Glittering Star Eyeliner in No. 510 Teal

This was a random Istanbul, Turkey purchase! Flormar sells these eyeliners for about $2 so how could I pass it up?!


I love wearing Teal under my eyes as a surprise pop of color so when I saw this sparkly eyeliner for sale in Turkey I had to snatch it! Its just sooo pretty!


Here it is both swatched as heavily as possible on my hand and also applied normally under my eye.



It is very easy to apply and doesn't tug at my skin.  However I feel like I have to sharpen it every other time I use it so I'm kind of worried it won't last me terribly long....maybe I should get my mom to bring me back a few more when she comes home from Turkey :)


I also bought this cute little headband thing in Istanbul.  It was $2.50. I got this grey animal pattern and a dark purple one.  It is a piece of cloth with a wire in it, I think it absolutely perfect for spicing up a pixie :)

Where to buy: www.Flormar.com
Price: 3,95 TL (about $2.00)
