New stuff, new edition to the Hunger Games series, & random looks

Since my birthday was Saturday I slacked this week with my post.  As a gift to myself, I purchased some loose pigments & glitters from Victorian DiscoCosmetics.  Kassie from UniqueDesire has used products from this line quite a few times & she’s raved about them, so I thought I’d give them a try.  I LOVED the variety of colors, but finally decided on 10 to try out (you can save a lot if you buy in bulk).  I tried to get a few from each line but I just loved the Sailor Moon & Star Wars lines.  These are the shades I purchased: Boomer Bile, Lightsaber, Skywalker, Sailor Venus, Sailor Moon, Sailor Pluto, Noob Tube, Scar-H, Godric, & Rowena.  My package also included two sample baggies from the Star Wars Collection; one was emperor (A charcoal color with purple shimmer) & Do The Jabba Jabba (brick color with iridescent shimmer).  Ashley the owner is revamping the Star Wars line soon because some of the shades are too similar to past ones, so click on the link I added above to buy the current collection.  PHEW! That was text heavy!  Now on to some looks shall we?

Continuing with my Hunger Games series, I created this look inspired by District 4 (Fishing) for Makeup Geek’s weekly challenge.

District 1 (Luxury)

I mentioned a few days ago that I’d be doing a Hunger Games series inspired by the different districts.   Even though I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the book, it was hard to start.  They didn’t really go into too much depth about the different districts except the ones the main characters were from.  The first look I created was for District 1, which was responsible for making luxury items for the capitol.  When I think of luxury I think of purples, golds &shimmers, so this is the look I came up with.

Starting spring off with a burst of color

Alrighty, well I didn’t do as much as I wanted to this week—classes have been killer & I have 3 midterms before spring break next week!  Anyhow, this week I tried to be a little bolder since I’ve been doing more neutral looks with the naked palettes & I was able to scrape together these two looks.

This first one is this black & blue cut crease.  Even though I wasn’t too crazy about how it turned out I wore it to work & got high praise from my coworkers so I suppose that’s a start lol.  I used The BH Cosmetics 120 palette & I have to say, I’ve seen what some girls do with the 120 palette & I wonder how they do it!  I’m not loving the palette, although the colors are super pigmented.  I find that that they crumble when I dab my brush in them & there is tremendous amounts of fall out.  It’s just not working for me.  But forgive my rant, this is not a review lol.
