FOTD using Madison Street Beauty & Urban Decay

I thought I'd show you some pictures of a look I just filmed a tutorial on. I don't have time to edit the tutorial tonight, but if it turns out good you'll find it on my youtube channel tomorrow ;) Update: link to the tutorial.

This whole look is centered around one of the eyeshadows from Madison Street Beauty that I mentioned in my last blog post - Champagne. Unfortunately, the pictures don't do it justice... it's so much more sparkly and gorgeous in real life ♥

FOTD - August 10th

Since I was so happy with my makeup yesterday, I went for a cut crease look today as well. I'm so into cut crease looks right now! You'll see me wearing this makeup in my latest video ;)

I used two of the eyeshadows in my metallic eye quad by Beauty UK for the first time, and they were actually very easy to work with. Considering how cheap they are, I really didn't have high expectations for them, but the quality is surprisingly good!

I...

♥ primed my lids with Urban Decay's Primer Potion

♥ applied a thin layer of my NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk

♥ drew a line slightly above my crease using a felt tip liner by Calvin Klein

♥ applied the 3rd eye shadow in my Beauty UK metallic eye quad in Pinks on my lid

♥ applied UD's Oil Slick over and above the black liner and blended it up towards my brow

♥ applied UD's Flash over top of the black eyeshadow

♥ highligted my brow bone using UD's Uzi eyeshadow

♥ applied MAC's Nylon eyeshadow to my inner corner

♥ applied a combination of the 4th eyeshadow in my Beauty UK metallic eye quad and UD's Grifter under my eye

♥ applied some white eyeliner to my waterline

♥ applied UD's Oil Slick as a winged eyeliner on my upper lashline

♥ curled my lashes and applied two coats of L'Oréal's Volume Million Lashes mascara

On my cheeks I'm wearing a Natural Lip & Cheek Tint by Sula in the colour Whatever Comes Next, and on my lips I'm wearing a little bit of e.l.f.'s mineral lipstick in Natural Nymph :) 

FOTD - August 9th

I'm so happy with the way my makeup turned out today! I was trying out some of the eye shadows in my new UD palette, and managed to successfully create a cut crease look for the first time ever (okay, I've only tried two times, but still...). 

I...

♥ primed my lids with Urban Decay's Primer Potion

♥ applied a thin layer of my NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk

♥ drew a line slightly above my crease using a felt tip liner by Calvin Klein

♥ applied UD's Half Baked eyeshadow on my lid

♥ applied UD's Oil Slick over and above the black liner and blended it up towards my brow

♥ applied UD's Fipside over top of the black eyeshadow

♥ highligted my brow bone using Max Factor's Pale Pebble eyeshadow

♥ applied MAC's Nylon eyeshadow to my inner corner

♥ applied a combination of UD's Half Baked and Flipside under my eye

♥ applied some white eyeliner to my waterline

♥ applied UD's Oil Slick as a winged eyeliner on my upper lashline

On my cheeks I'm wearing a blush by Ulta in the colour Afternoon Delight, and on my lips I'm wearing a little bit of e.l.f.'s mineral lipstick in Natural Nymph :)

What do you think about this look? 

Urban Decay Naked Palette!

I förrgår fick jag äntligen hem Urban Decays Naked Palette! Jag har velat ha den i evighe ter... i alla fall i ett år nu skulle jag tippa. Jag är överlycklig över att äntligen ha den i min samling! Återigen gör bilden inte skuggorna rättvisa, men tro mig när jag säger att de är alldeles underbara. 

Hade det inte varit för att jag är fullkomligt sminkberoende så hade det här varit alla skuggor jag behöver. I Naked-paletten finns verkligen skuggor för alla tillfällen; man kan skapa allt från diskreta vardagssminkningar till intensiva festsminkningar med dessa skuggor, och de passar alla hudtoner. Dyr är den (jag betalade ca 490 kr för min), men älskar man smink är den värd varenda öre. Speciellt med tanke på att man får en ordentlig ögonskuggspensel, samt en miniförpackning av deras hyllade Primer Potion på köpet ;)

Translation: I finally got the Urban Decay Naked Palette a few days ago! I've wanted it for ages and ages, and I'm so glad to finally have it in my collection! Again, the picture doesn't do the eyeshadows justice, but believe me when I say that they're absolutely beautiful.

If you are less of a makeup addict than I am, these shadows are all you'll ever need. The Naked Palette really contains eyeshadows for every occasion; one can create everything from subtle everyday look to intense party looks with these eyeshadows, and they look good on just about every skintone. It is quite pricey - I got mine for about £49, but then I had to get it shipped to Sweden so you could probably get it cheaper if you live in a country where Urban Decay is sold. However, If you love makeup it's worth every penny, especially since you get a decent eyeshadow brush and a mini Primer Potion with it ;)

This is the look I wore in my Another East End Cosmetics Haul! video, and it was created using the following eyeshadows from this palette:

♥ Sin on my lid
♥ Sidecar in my crease
♥ Creep in my outer V
♥ Darkhorse under my eye
♥ Virgin as a highlight
