Urban Decay Glinda Palette Series - last one!

Finally I thought I would follow this "get the look" insert which came with the Glinda palette. I had so much fun experimenting with all the shades, that I just never got around to doing their look!

The instructions are easy enough to follow, but to be truthful I wouldn't use these shades or apply them in this order. This is the finished result :

To be honest, I don't like how this looks at all. No shimmer? No glitter? This just looks very boring to me, and very dull! When I think of Glinda the Good Witch I am thinking of pinks, silver, glitter etc. This is just so plain and not what I personally would have included as a "get the look".

Urban Decay Glinda Palette Series - Continued

So here is a more subtle look I tried using the Glinda palette. Now I love shimmer shadows and glitter but I know they are not always suitable to wear every day. I love what this palette can do, it is super shiny and iridescent. There is only really one (sort of) matte shade and that is "Illusion", the peachy colour.

I used "Illusion" all over the lid, with the pink in the crease, and the taupe colour in my outer corners. I also used "Aura", the very lightest duo shade to highlight. I also used the 24/7 Pencil to line my top and bottom lash lines. 

It's still pretty bright and shimmery, but not as "in your face" as the other looks I have tried. It's not perfect though, and I will probably not use this palette for everyday make up. I want to show off what it can do, and that is the bright and bold, and glamorous looks! But it's still pretty nice.

Essence Collection - Oz the Great and Powerful

Well, i guess it's easy to see that I love Essence cosmetics right now and I have a lot of their products. I just found out they are releasing this lovely collection to coincide with the release of the new Disney film, Oz the Great and Powerful!

I can't wait to try out the Cream blush! Apparently it has a pump dispenser, it will be really interesting to see what this product is like. The only disappointing thing is while the colours of the nail polishes are all absolutely beautiful, they are just crackle-effect toppers which I am not really all that fussed one. I wish they were just normal polishes!  This collection will be coming out at the end of March.

The Wizard of Oz is my favourite film of all time! I cannot wait to see Oz the Great and Powerful, and I am also going to see Wicked when it comes to the BGE Theatre in Dublin!
