I am back with another anniversary makeup tutorial! It's starting to become a tradition that I do a tutorial of the makeup that I wear for my anniversary and this year is no different. This year, I posted four looks and asked my followers on Instagram to vote on which look they wanted to see a tutorial of and this was the look they picked! This look was originally a recreation look of a makeup that Alcantara Makeup did on his Instagram. I am really glad that my followers loved this look as much as I did and I was very excited to wear this look again.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am trying some lashes from a company that I am pretty unfamiliar with. I was contacted by a representative from the Born Pretty Store website to try out a few items from their store. I chose lashes of course because lately I have been loving false lashes everything-- buying, wearing them, you name it. The lashes I chose are lashes that either mink or some sort of mink alternative because mink lashes I have tried are not only expensive but have a tendency to be delicate. If I am gonna pay at least $20 for a pair of mink lashes, why not make them durable enough that you can actually live up to the 20-25 use claim? Anyways...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A little background since I have not yet covered this brand before. Born Pretty Store is a company that sells a variety of cosmetics items but is most well known for their nail accessory items. They also sell items such as cell phone accessories and other gadgets and gizmos. <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/about_us.php" target="_blank">You can read their full "About Us" blurb here.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<u><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">These lashes were sent as a press sample for possible review consideration. All opinions are my own and I was not paid to say anything in this post.</span></i></u><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">SHIPPING/CUSTOMER SERVICE</span></b><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These lashes were sent as a press sample so I have no experience on the customer service aspect of ordering from this company. Shipping does take a while to receive from them. It took about 2 weeks to receive my package and I did not receive a tracking number to stay up to date on where my order was. However, this may be different for those who purchase from the website. Shoot me an email if you want to share your experience!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok, onto the review!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">PACKAGING</span></b><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The lashes came in a plastic box like <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/mink-hair-handmade-black-false-eyelash-long-volume-fake-lash-p-14262.html" target="_blank">this</a> and are glued onto a rather large white tray that can slide out of the box. I did not take a picture of the lashes and tray in the box because it had an obnoxious sticker blocking the view of the lashes. However, as the picture shows on the site, it is very clearly marked which style you get and labels are consistent for all the lashes that I received. Here is what the lashes look like on the tray:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_QBwj9HtJwQ1u5RREGlS1L98OGSOYowaV3SO4_zOL4vkxDVIIXBieBnxUW8qbb8k1Wui-rGZe4r4TgvUa23oDL3pq1FnkDZbGVRuSqwu3eJRmGp8oA4-_47otp_odaFympW5JC-eTKJo/s1600/IMG_3719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_QBwj9HtJwQ1u5RREGlS1L98OGSOYowaV3SO4_zOL4vkxDVIIXBieBnxUW8qbb8k1Wui-rGZe4r4TgvUa23oDL3pq1FnkDZbGVRuSqwu3eJRmGp8oA4-_47otp_odaFympW5JC-eTKJo/s320/IMG_3719.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found the packaging bulky and really tedious. This is a situation that I would store the lashes in a different container once using them. The tray was kind of annoying to remove from the plastic package and I found the tray unnecessarily big for what you get. I think that the packaging can be improved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I initially didn't trim them but...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A word of caution: make sure the lash band is not too long. They will <b>not</b> be comfortable if the band is too long. The inner band will poke at your inner corners and make them sore. I couldn't even wear them for more than a hour, if I even wore them that long. I finally trimmed them down a small bit after being stubborn and not cutting them. I would say that I trimmer down maybe 1/4-1/3 cm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">APPLICATION</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These lashes were not the easiest pair of lashes to apply because the lash band was not the most flexible. I waited around 60 seconds (with Koko Lashes lash glue) before I applied the lashes and the band was not the easiest to place on the eye because the band was not staying in place. This set of lashes will require the glue to get extra tacky so that the ends will stay glued down. I had an especially difficult time keeping the inner corners down and often had to add some House of Lashes lash glue to keep them down. The lashes had a medium to medium-thick lash band that required a bit of manipulation but the lashes felt lightweight once applied.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">Below is a before and after to show the effect of the lashes:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYEgyCr62SmwymaFFZe_OtKxbbcGVKjqkuFahjiTaoS6gADZA2s1p2vqi94Q7VH3lvLkoGOc22ct5Sk2clAVfneKcXkKQGtSV5UcZwaiBEdtWGW3xJOqdcQgOi-8dHWlUHw0HbvcPFb40/s1600/BPS+D3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYEgyCr62SmwymaFFZe_OtKxbbcGVKjqkuFahjiTaoS6gADZA2s1p2vqi94Q7VH3lvLkoGOc22ct5Sk2clAVfneKcXkKQGtSV5UcZwaiBEdtWGW3xJOqdcQgOi-8dHWlUHw0HbvcPFb40/s400/BPS+D3.png" width="266" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But the real test is...<br /><b>LONGEVITY/WEAR</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These lashes were comfortable during wear time and I wore them for about 5-8 hours. They did not feel noticeable at all during wear and were comfortable when properly cut to the right length. None of the sides lifted during wear and the lashes came off easily with oil-free makeup remover. I lost none of the mink hairs through use and have proven to be durable. None of the hairs were bent or altered in any way after three uses, and they withstood my abuse. They look practically the same as the first day I used them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The quality of the mink hairs were soft and felt like real lashes</span><span style="background-color: white;">. They add volume and give a very cat like appearance to the eye. </span><span style="background-color: white;">These lashes retail for $5.2 but can be cheaper if on sale or with codes that can be used. These lashes are a fantastic quality for the price and are perfect lashes to try if you ever wanted to try mink lashes but don't want to commit to the $20+ they cost from other companies. They are also great with any look that uses winged liner or just emphasizes the outer corner. These are pretty unique lashes to my collection.</span></span></div>

<br />
This look was another crazy idea in my head. I thought "what if my eye... could be a fish??." A little weird but I tried the look and posted it to my Instagram. The look was received well by you and I finally am here to teach you how to do that look!<br />
<br />
If you have always wanted to be a fish, watch no further.<br />

<br />
Today, I recreated a quite popular look that I posted on my Instagram. I loved it a lot too and I had to do it again so I could use the lovely lid color for the look. Its a really complex smokey eye that blends into a maroon, then mango, and finally a coral color. I hope you enjoy!<br />

<b><i>Hello Loves!</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm trying out another style from Lena Lashes Pin-Up Girl Collection! Today, I will be wearing and reviewing the style called Khloe. I was hesitant about this pair of lashes at first but as you will read, my thoughts were exactly the opposite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<u><i>These lashes were sent as a press sample for possible review consideration. All opinions are my own and I was not paid to say anything in this post.</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<b>PACKAGING</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This collection comes in a magnetic black and red polka dot box with gold hearts that have the company name and names of the makeup artists who collaborated for this collection. The back of the box has the social media information of the company as well as the makeup artists. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoVhy2guIqjhuL8YLSgXOgapAn5rnaQ34jp8BSqwvbdQMv8bNOk50-IDTEurs3JpkzDN94kzLraHpcftXoF7XR_J9oJQMV0BhQ_FiIdTEvuczP2wKgX9_HGYv-I3w8uVfP3LWS63KIQY/s1600/IMG_4532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoVhy2guIqjhuL8YLSgXOgapAn5rnaQ34jp8BSqwvbdQMv8bNOk50-IDTEurs3JpkzDN94kzLraHpcftXoF7XR_J9oJQMV0BhQ_FiIdTEvuczP2wKgX9_HGYv-I3w8uVfP3LWS63KIQY/s320/IMG_4532.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Within this box is the name of each lash on the top and the bottom contains the trays for each individual lash. A ribbon is attached to the bottom of the box to easily remove the trays. I found that the trays in this box are not secure and will easily come out on their own. This is definitely an unwelcome change compared to the boxes for a single pair of lashes.<br />

<b>APPLICATION</b><br />
<div>
These lashes were not the easiest pair of lashes to apply because of the curvature of the mink hairs getting in the way. I waited around 60 seconds (with Koko Lashes lash glue) before I applied the lashes and the band was easy to move around before I was satisfied with the placement. This pair of lashes had a relatively thin, flexible band and were lightweight.<br />
<br />
Below is the before and after pictures to show the effect of the lashes:<br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
The problem I have had with mink lashes in the past is that they shed hairs pretty easily. I feel like if you lose even a couple of hairs, it can compromise the look of the lashes. I have worn this pair three times and have removed them both times by soaking the band with oil-free makeup remover and pulling them off. I didn't notice any significant hair fiber loss after the few times I have worn them. These lashes are the most durable pair I have owned from this brand and are also very comfortable during the entirety of wear (8-10 hrs). I was pleasantly surprised on the performance of this lash and they still look the same now as whenever I received them.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The quality of the mink hairs were soft and felt like real lashes</span><span style="background-color: white;">. They add volume and wispiness to makeup looks without blocking out the lid color. </span><span style="background-color: white;">These lashes retail for $40 individual and $130 with the Pin-Up Girl Collection. This company often has sales (whatever % off, BOGO, etc.) so you often do not have to pay full retail. If you want to splurge on a nice pair of lashes and like wispy, voluminous lashes, this pair is for you.</span></div>

<br />
I have finally figured out dewy skin.<br />
<br />
I have never had skin that looked dewy both in real life <b>and</b> in photos. Another added benefit about the makeup was it lasted all day (~8-10 hours). Today, I filmed a tutorial to show you how I achieved dewy skin that lasted all day. I also included some tips for those who have combo or oily skin to achieve this. For reference, I have normal skin.<br />

<b><i>Hello Loves!</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a post that has taken a while to write but today is the day that it gets finished!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the beginning of July, I received the Chikuhodo x Beautylish Sakura Collection and let me tell you a quick story of how I ended up purchasing these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was severely lusting after these brushes. I would probably go onto the Beautylish site at least a couple times a week and follow bloggers who received these to gauge if they were worth purchasing. Ever since receiving my first Chikuhodo brushes, I have obsessed with obtaining more. They are AMAZING and make my face feel like heaven. Anyways, I was looking at the Sakura Collection post on <a href="http://www.sweetmakeuptemptations.com/" target="_blank">SweetMakeupTemptations</a>, a blog known for lots of good brush reviews and photos, just fawning over the beautiful brushes. Let me also add that designs on brush handles are a bit of a weakness, I did get the <a href="http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOCHD-26" target="_blank">Chikuhodo MK-2</a> afterall! (Ok Elle, stop with the tangents!) So, I was looking at the post and all the sudden a representative from the company texted me if I wanted to purchase them. Would I resist? NO. I asked a bunch of questions before I decided to purchase but I caved and bought them. That was a terrible moment for me to have them contact me but they were really smart and somehow knew I was looking at the post at that exact moment. And then that started the no buy that I currently on to the end of August :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, onto the the nitty-gritty of the brushes!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">SHIPPING AND PACKAGING</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shipping was pretty quick and Beautylish has always been fast with shipping out orders from past experience. They shipped on June 29th and I received them on July 2nd. It was a nice July 4th "present" for me. They also have excellent customer service. I have had reps from the company texting me asking me if I was satisfied with my order and had any questions. I have a tendency to just ask a lot of questions because if you text me, I will have a conversation with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They also packaged it beautifully. It made me feel really special going through the layers of papers, cards, and boxes to finally unveil the final product. I felt like a VIP the whole time.</div>

The <b>Chikuhodo Sakura Powder brush</b> is a 50/50 mix of grey squirrel hair and saikoho goat hair. This brush has a really unique shape and it slightly angled, which is not a common feature in powder brushes. This brush is very soft but not as soft as 100% grey squirrel hair but is a bit more durable due to its squirrel and goat hair mix. I have used this brush to set my foundation and apply bronzer, and my favorite use for it is to apply bronzer a bit more accurately than other larger powder brushes. If I am not currently using my Chikuhodo MK-2, I will most likely be using this one instead.</div>

The <b>Chikuhodo Sakura Blush brush</b> is made of 100% grey squirrel. I have been really like using this brush for applying contour, blush, and highlight but I especially enjoy it for contouring. Because the brush head isn't completely circular and has a paddle shape, it fits perfectly under my cheekbones and adds contour powders softly and beautifully. Its a fullproof way to contour because it is harder to overdo powders with squirrel brushes because they don't heavily apply product. I have been reaching for this brush over my Chikuhodo Z-4 but prefer my Koyudo BP020 for blush.<br />

The <b>Chikuhodo Sakura Flat Eyeshadow brush</b> is a flat paddle brush made out of 100% grey squirrel hair. While this brush has not replaced me using my MAC 239 for laying down eyeshadows, I still use this brush when rotating through brushes. Because this brush is made of squirrel hair, you cannot use it to apply any liquid or cream products otherwise it will damage the delicate hair. This brush is good at a steady build of the eyeshadow and can easily apply a light wash.</div>

The <b>Chikuhodo Sakura Crease brush</b> is a very tapered brush made out of 100% grey squirrel hair. I am not sure what to say about this brush or how to exactly use it. I don't have any other brushes in my collection like this so this brush challenges me. I have found you can very softly apply color to your crease with this. This brush is not as good with blending out color because it is pretty floppy. If I figure out a better way to use it, I will update this post with my new discovery!</div>

The <b>Chikuhodo Sakura Detail brush</b> is a brush made out of fitch hair and must be washed before being used to remove the starch coating that protects the brush. I have never experienced a brush with this type of hair before so I wasn't entirely sure what it could be used for at first. The Beautylish website lists several uses for it but it can be used for powder, cream, and liquid products. I have used it so far to smudge out liner, precisely apply eyeshadow, and apply concealer. My favorite use for it is to use it to precisely apply eyeshadow followed by smudging out pencil liners. This brush is not the softest brush but it is softer than other smudger brushes I own (MAC 214 and Mizuho CMP 551).</div>

Thanks for reading to the end of the post and hope it was helpful to help you find some dupes for this collection. The Sakura Collection is currently sold out and I have heard of no news of further production for this set.</div>

<br />
I just wanted to do a quick video to test up a new filming set up. I want to make it easier for me to do looks because then it will be easier to do more difficult looks for you guys. Let me know what you think of the set up/lighting/etc.<br />
<br />
I already previously did this look before and enjoyed it enough to film a tutorial of it. I hope you enjoy it!<br />

A long time ago, I thought I was the makeup goddess. I thought that I was the shit. Looking back at these pictures, it makes me cringe a little just seeing where I am at now.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had an idea. A crazy idea. I wanted to do a super blown out black eye but the center is black and it is blown out in the colors of the rainbow. In my head, I called it the "Rainbow Blackhole." This idea finally came to fruition, and I posted it on my Instagram. I got such a positive reaction that some followers wanted a tutorial. Today, I finally post the tutorial I created here on my blog.</div>

Whenever you add your colors, you can start wherever you want and whatever color you want. Do what is easiest for you. I found it much easier to start on the upper lid and inner corner first. Also, I find lighter colors look better in the inner tear duct.<br />
<br />
Whenever you progress to the next area and add a new color, do it in a rainbow sort of fashion. So, if you add a color next to peach, it should be red or yellow, and so on for other colors. That is, if you are keeping to a traditional rainbow look here.<br />

I had a little trouble blending this shade later on in the look. I highly recommend adding lighter purple base shade to make it blend better. I used Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Pastel Purple Matte for this purpose. I used this method for the first to pictures on this post.<br />

<b><i>Hello Loves!</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm trying out another style from Lena Lashes Pin-Up Girl Collection! Today, I will be wearing and reviewing the style called Noemie. This pair looked so fluffy whenever others have used it on Instagram and I wanted that fluffiness on my eyes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<u><i>These lashes were sent as a press sample for possible review consideration. All opinions are my own and I was not paid to say anything in this post.</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<b>PACKAGING</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This collection comes in a magnetic black and red polka dot box with gold hearts that have the company name and names of the makeup artists who collaborated for this collection. The back of the box has the social media information of the company as well as the makeup artists. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Within this box is the name of each lash on the top and the bottom contains the trays for each individual lash. A ribbon is attached to the bottom of the box to easily remove the trays. I found that the trays in this box are not secure and will easily come out on their own. This is definitely an unwelcome change compared to the boxes for a single pair of lashes.<br />

<b>APPLICATION</b><br />
<div>
These lashes were easy to apply, have a medium thickness band, and were lightweight. I waited around 20 seconds before I applied the lashes and they were easy to move around before I was satisfied with the placement. Mink lashes usually need to be cut quite a bit because they are made very long.<br />
<br /></div>

Below is the before and after pictures to show the effect of the lashes:</div>

The problem I have had with mink lashes in the past is that they shed hairs pretty easily. I feel like if you lose even a couple of hairs, it can compromise the look of the lashes. I have worn this pair three times and have removed them both times by soaking the band with oil-free makeup remover and pulling them off. I didn't notice any significant hair fiber loss after the few times I have worn them. The new issue I found with these lashes is that cleaning the lashes (i.e. remove residue with Bioderma) will result in the lose of the fluffiness that I loved about these lashes. I have not experienced a lose of shape like this with any other mink lashes I have previously worn or owned. Its like I have a totally new pair of lashes now and I'm not sure I like this "new" pair.<br />
<br />
The following shows the wear of the lash after three uses:<br />

<b><i>Hello Loves!</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Recently, I saw that Eylure released a new series of lashes in collaboration with Vegas Nay, a makeup artist most popular on Instagram (5M+ followers), and one particular pair caught my eye. My favorite lashes of all time are the style ala Koko Lashes Koko, House of Lashes Pixie Luxe, etc and the style "Grand Glamor" seemed very similar to this style of lash. I bought a couple of pairs of Grand Glamor and today I will be reviewing them for you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<b>PACKAGING</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The lashes are contained in pretty bulky packaging with a picture of the makeup artist on the front and a clear window to see the lashes. On the back of the box, there are pictures and instructions on how to apply false lashes. In the box, you get the lashes, which are glued on the corners to hold them in place, lash glue, and a little instruction pamphlet that has the instructions in other languages. The sides have stickers keeping them closed and to also indicate if someone has tampered with the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I think that Eylure could of majorly downsized with the size of the packaging because they could of kept the glue and pamphlet under the lash tray. The size of the packaging makes it a lot harder to travel with or requires you to transfer the lashes to another container. </div>

<b>APPLICATION</b><br />
<div>
These lashes were easy to apply with House of Lashes lash glue. These lightweight lashes have a medium thickness band that needs a bit of wiggling/manipulating the band to make it more flexible. I waited around 30 seconds before I applied the lashes (using House of Lashes lash glue) and they were easy to move around before I was satisfied with the placement.<br />
<br />
Its nice that they include glue with the lashes but the glue is not that good. I have attempted to glue the lashes with the provided glue and it takes a long time to get tacky (~1-2 min) and dry. This will make the process of applying the lashes and doing your makeup even longer. I also find that since it takes such a long time to get tacky, it makes it more difficult to apply these lashes.<br />
<br />
Another thing I found is that the second top layer of lash fibers makes it a bit harder to apply these lashes and perfect the look. This layer curves quite a bit. The layer gets in the way while applying the lashes and makes it hard to do anything with the look (i.e. cover the lash band with liner, etc) once the lashes are glued in place.<br />
Here is a picture showing what layer I am talking about:<br />

<b>LONGEVITY/WEAR</b><br />
These lashes were comfortable during wear time and I wore them for about 5-8 hours each use. They felt somewhat noticeable and heavy during wear but nothing that was too bothersome. None of the sides lifted during wear and the lashes came off easily with oil-free makeup remover. None of the hairs were bent or altered in any way after three uses, and they withstood my abuse. They look practically the same as the first day I used them.</div>

<b>QUALITY / PRICING / RANDOM:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The quality of the lash fibers were a mixed quality. The bottom layer of lashes were great quality human hair while the top layer was not as good quality.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> This top layer had a more blunt cut to it while while the bottom layer had a nice, tapered ending (see the above picture). The bottom layer hairs are of slightly better quality to Ardell lash hairs and the top layer is about the same quality of Ardell/Koko Lashes Ariel. </span><span style="background-color: white;">I got these for $7.99 retail price and </span><span style="background-color: white;">I think for the price, these lashes are expensive for what you get.</span></div>

So, the other day I did this really simple smokey eye to test out the brushes I received from CDJapan and it turned out beautiful. I figured since it looked so good yet it was simple and quick, it would make perfect material for a new video tutorial!<br />

<b><i>Hello Loves!</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently, I have been wanting to improve and build up my makeup brush collection. This all started whenever I got my first Chikuhodo brushes (Z-4 & Z-10) for my birthday, and they have turned my world around. They are extremely soft and apply makeup beautifully. As a graduation present, my boyfriend was so kind to help me with this makeup brush collection improving quest and placed an order of several brushes I wanted to try from CDJapan. CDJapan is a site that sells a huge variety of makeup brushes as well as other Japanese goods. Also, prepare for a long and picture heavy post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>CUSTOMER SERVICE, SHIPPING, ETC</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only customer service experience I have with CDJapan is emailing them with a question concerning a promotion. I have not received a reply to said email and wished they did email me back. However, it was not a pressing issue so I did not send the email again. So take this tid bit of my experience how you want.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ordered from CDJapan on June 9th and opted to get the EMS shipping option. This option is one of the faster and more expensive options and includes tracking and insurance. Since two of my items had a longer process time (8-13 days), I expected a bit of a wait before they sent it out. They shipped out my order June 19th, and I received it in my mailbox June 23rd. This was very fast shipping considering it came from half way across the world. Once opening the packaging, everything was bubble wrapped very well to ensure no damage to the products in their long journey. Very, very impressed with the shipping and packaging, and I will most definitely be purchasing again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a note but there rewards system is really good. You receive 3% points on every item that you purchase and if you reach certain dollar amounts, you get bonus points. You can also earn extra points by filling out customer surveys sent to you or if asked to review the products you received. These points seem to build up pretty quickly because I am already at ~2500 points and 1 point equals 1 yen off your next purchase.</div>

The <b>Chikuhodo MK-2</b> is a 100% grey squirrel hair powder brush and features traditional Yamanaka-nuri style maki-e (as written on CDJapan) on the handle. I needed a really good powder brush because the two powder brushes I had similar to this weren't really doing the job for me. This is extremely soft and applies a light amount of powder. If you have oily skin, I recommend going for a goat hair brush as this brush does kind of clings and tugs to any excess moisture or oil in the skin. A quick note but this brush takes forever to dry whenever you wash it, which I find happens with squirrel hair brushes.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <b>Koyudo Fu-pa-13p</b> is a foundation brush that can be used for cream and liquid foundation and is made out of baby goat chest hair. While the brush did not shed any hair during its first wash, it has shed some hairs (~1-3 hairs each use) while applying my tinted moisturizer. It is normal for a face brush to shed a small amount whenever you first receive and I will have to use it more to see if it continues shedding. It is a soft brush that distributes the foundation pretty well and will not absorb much of the product if you really buff the product in. The thing I love most about the brush is its unique design; the tip of the brush is flat so that you can use that surface to place the product and then buff the product in. I tried my best to capture the shape with several pictures and angles but <a href="http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOKUD-156" target="_blank">you can find a schematic of the brush head shape on the CDJapan website.</a> This is probably the shortest brush I own. I find that the shorter handle gives me more control whenever applying my foundation.</div>

The <b>Koyudo BP020</b> is a angled blush brush made out of Sokoho goat hair. I really like this shape whenever applying and blending blush because I can pack the color towards the tip and blend with the whole brush head. This brush is very soft for goat hair and feels kind of like squirrel hair but it does deposit a lot of color despite how soft it is. I recommend using this for blushes that aren't as pigmented.<br />

The <b>Koyudo BP032</b> is a pine squirrel blending brush. Whenever you receive this brush, it is pinched in and feels hard and you may think something is wrong with the brush. However, companies add a starch coating to protect the hair fibers from being damaged during shipping and any other travel. This coating will wash easily if you wash the brush with a mild shampoo such as baby shampoo and really work it into the brush. Once you do wash it, it puffs out and then can be used. I thought that this brush would be like a Hakuhodo J5523 dupe but made out of pine squirrel hair. I was proven wrong after washing it. You can see comparisons later in the post showing the differences. I have never really used a brush of this shape and didn't really know how to use it. I have found after some use that it smokes out eyeshadows beautifully and gives it a nice gradient of blendy-ness, especially for lower lash line work.<br />

The <b>Koyudo C011</b> is a goat hair pencil brush. It is protected with a starch coating just like the BP032 and can be easily washed out. Once washed, it fluffs out to a rounded head. This is one of the best pencil brushes I own, along with the Chikuhodo Z-10, because it does not irritate my sensitive lower lash line. However, I find the brush can be a bit floppy when applying makeup and takes longer than usual to dry when using Parian Spirit.<br />

The <b>Mizuho MB-133</b> is a weasel/PBT synthetic mixed hair angled eyeliner brush. I find this to be another unique brush head because the brush tapers towards the tip of brush. This tapering makes it a breeze to apply liner to the lash line. This is another brush that does not fluff up after the first wash.<br />

<ul>
<li>The Chikuhodo MK-2 is the softest of the three, followed by Ecotools and then MAC. I can not even use the MAC one because it is really scratchy against my skin.</li>
<li>Chikuhodo is made of squirrel hair, Ecotools is made of synthetic fibers, and MAC does not list the hair type it use but I would assume it is goat.</li>
<li>The MAC brush fluffs out more and is not as dense as the Ecotools and Chikuhodo. The Ecotools and Chikuhodo have about the same density of hair.</li>
<li>The MAC and Ecotools brushes apply a moderate amount of product and the Chikuhodo applies a lighter amount of product. If you want your powder to have more coverage, you will have to build it up more with the Chikuhodo brush.</li>
<li>The Ecotools feels lighter weight-wise compared to the MAC and Chikuhodo, which have similar weights.</li>

<li>The Koyudo and MAC brushes have about the same softness and the Sonia Kashuk is the roughest of the bunch.</li>
<li>The Koyudo applies a heavy amount of product, the MAC applies a moderate amount of product, and the Sonia Kashuk lightly applies product. You will have to build up coverage with the Sonia Kashuk brush but I find that can be difficult because the brush irritates my skin if used too much.</li>
<li>The MAC brush fluffs out more than the Koyudo and Sonia Kashuk. The Sonia Kashuk brush is floppier than the Koyudo and Mac brush because of the longer hair bristles.</li>
<li>While the MAC brush is a bit fluffier, it is the most dense of the 3 brushes, but it is not much more denser than the Koyudo.</li>
<li>The weight of the Koyudo and Sonia Kashuk brushes are about the same and the MAC brushes feels a bit heavier.</li>

<ul>
<li>The Koyudo has a slightly different brush shape than the Real Techiniques brush. This flat tip that the Koyudo brush has makes it better to use for foundation application.</li>
<li>The Real Techniques brush is denser than the Koyudo. I find that the Koyudo is a bit easier to use because it isn't very dense like the Real Techniques.</li>
<li>The Koyudo and Real Techniques brush are about the same softness.</li>
<li>The Koyudo is made of goat hair and the Real Techniques is made of synthetic Taklon fibers.</li>
<li>The Koyudo brush handle is a lot shorter than the Real techniques handle and gives the Koyudo the advantage of a more controlled application. It also makes the Koyudo brush lighter in weight.</li>

This brushes are essentially the same. However, the Mizuho is a lighter feeling brush, slightly softer, very, very slightly longer, and less expensive than MAC.<br />

<br />
Today I have a makeup review, specifically a liquid lipstick! For once, I am not reviewing lashes. False lashes are relatively easy to review and I find that makeup is more difficult because it requires more time to test. Lashes are also probably easier to review because I have done it so many times. Time to welcome change :)<br />
<br />
Today, I will be reviewing Fyrinnae Liquid Matte Lipsticks. The three colors, Warp Speed, Volcanic, and Desire are in newer packaging and what I also presume is a new formula. The other three colors, Wizardry, Kitten, and Graffiti are in older packaging and an older formula purchased on 3/2015.<br />
<br />
All photos are unedited (minus cropping and watermarking) to best represent the color unless otherwise noted. Pictures are taken with a Canon Rebel T5i and a 5400K fluorescent ring light.<br />
<br />
<i><u>I have purchased all the products being reviewed. All opinions are my own and I was not paid to say anything in this post.</u></i><br />
<br />
<b>PACKAGING</b><br />
The newer packaging has a double walled tube with a black cap and a doe foot applicator, and contains 5 mL (~0.17 oz) of product. The older packaging has a plastic tube with a silver cap and a doe foot applicator, and contains 9 mL (~0.33 oz) of product.<br />
<br />
Below shows the packaging differences:<br />

<br />
While I really enjoy the old packaging containing more product (better price to oz ratio: $12.50 for 0.33 oz), I significantly like the newer packaging over the old. The newer packaging feels a lot sturdier because a harder plastic is used compared to the old packaging. I also feel the new packaging helps with using less product because the stopper is a lot better with the new tube. With the old packaging, a lot of product (and I mean A LOT) would clog up on the applicator and you would have to scrap excess off every time. Even then, you could not prevent the wand having tons of product. The older packaging is definitely not as travel friendly either (I swear I remember product leaking out of the old packaging once...). Big two thumbs up on the packaging improvement!<br />

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<i>Fyrinnae's claims:</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[These lipsticks] dry down in less than a minute (let product set for 20-30 seconds after application) and may last for hours... The consistency varies by shade, but most are very thin, yet only requiring 1-2 coats for complete coverage. Shake before using. </blockquote>
Their site also has some other tid bits to get the best wear out of their lipstick. I have found that the lipsticks uphold to <a href="http://fyrinnae.com/lips/liquid-matte-lipstick/" target="_blank">most of the claims mentioned on the general liquid matte page.</a><br />
<br />
<i>But how did I feel about the lipstick?</i><br />
<br />
These liquid lipsticks are a true liquid to matte formula and separate if they sit around. Other liquid to matte lipsticks (think Lime Crime Velvetines and Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick) have a creamier consistency and more play time before drying down completely. Fyrinnae's lipstick does have a bit of a learning curve to apply it because it can dry down on you mid-application if you apply it slowly, such as myself. It can also get a little streaky if you apply more than one coat as the applicator drags around lipstick that has already dried to your lips. You will have to dab the lipstick on patches to smooth it out. Some of the lipsticks are not completely opaque and will require you to apply an additional layer of product.<br />
<br />
I have also found that these are not as long lasting as I have discovered with the typical liquid lipstick. Fyrinnae's lipstick can last for hours if you just sit around and do nothing. If you talk or drink, the lipstick will wear easily on the inner lip and the wear can be noticeable i.e. my dark lip ring after a few cocktails. These lipsticks will not last through eating unless of course you are <i>really, really</i> careful. I have found the older formula to wear more easily than the newer formula. The older formula builds up more product on the lips, which makes the lipstick transfer off the lips.<br />
<br />
The dryness varies between the two formulas. I have found the older formula to be moderately drying across the three colors. The newer formula is non-drying to slightly drying. I really like that they were able to make the formula more comfortable. Another bravo.<br />
<br />
Below, I will evaluate each individual shade and take into consideration what I mentioned above in the score.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>WOULD YOU IT BUY AGAIN?</b><br />
Yes, considering that they have improved the formula and packaging. I wish I could get the three older shades in the newer packaging and formula.<br />
For those purchasing older formulas off of makeupexchange or Sunday swap on indiemakeupandmore, I would be hesitant to purchase.<br />
<br />
<i><u><b>Possible dupes/similar shades:</b></u></i><br />
Warp Speed, Volcanic, and Wizardry have none I could think of. They are all unique shades I have not yet discovered across any other brands.<br />

Lime Crime Cashmere<br />
Colourpop Tootsi<br />
Gerard Cosmetics Underground<br />
LA Splash Ghoulish<br />
<u>Desire</u><br />
Anastasia Beverly Hills Potion<br />
<u>Graffiti</u><br />
Anastasia Beverly Hills Paint (a soon to be released shade)<br />

Thanks for reading this review! I hope that it was helpful and will help you make informed beauty purchases or non-purchases.<br />

<br />
It has been a while since I have done any sort of blog post. I have been spending a lot of time traveling since graduating college and haven't had the time or proper equipment to do any sort of tutorial or review. I thought to do a different post showcasing some of the looks that I have done recently. For any of those who follow me on my Instagram, you have most likely seen these. I usually keep looks to my Instagram but thought I would share on here for a change.<br />
<br />
All the looks will include a product list to what I used. I will try my best to remember them to the best of my ability. <i>If there is anything you want a tutorial on, leave a comment down below.</i><br />
<br />
Keep on reading to see the looks and products I used!<br />

This is one of my looks that i did for my Xenoblade Chronicles makeup series. I really loved doing the makeup inspired by the soundtrack and this one is "The One Who Gets In Our Way." Do me a favor and please listen to the music from the Xenoblade Chronicles OST because it is so fantastic. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS7XVMNNZI8&index=52&list=PL04001C6F57856FCA" target="_blank">Here is the Youtube video to this particular song.</a></div>

<b><i>Hello Loves!</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Time to tackle one of Lena Lashes collection boxes. Today, I will be wearing one of the four styles out of their Pin Up Collection, specifically the style called Tina. This style jumped out to me because it reminds me a bit of one of my favorite lashes, Koko Lashes in Koko.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<u><i>These lashes were sent as a press sample for possible review consideration. All opinions are my own and I was not paid to say anything in this post.</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<b>PACKAGING</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This collection comes in a magnetic black and red polka dot box with gold hearts that have the company name and names of the makeup artists who collaborated for this collection. The back of the box has the social media information of the company as well as the makeup artists. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Within this box is the name of each lash on the top half and the bottom half contains the trays for each individual lash. A ribbon is attached to the bottom of the box to easily remove the trays. I found that the trays in this box are not secure and will easily come out on their own. This is definitely an unwelcome change compared to the boxes for a single pair of lashes.<br />

<b>APPLICATION</b><br />
<div>
These lashes were easy to apply, have a medium thickness band, and were lightweight. I waited around 20 seconds before I applied the lashes and they were easy to move around before I was satisfied with the placement. Mink lashes usually need to be cut quite a bit because they are made very long.<br />
<br /></div>

Below is the before and after pictures to show the effect of the lashes:</div>

The problem I have had with mink lashes in the past is that they shed hairs pretty easily. I feel like if you lose even a couple of hairs, it can compromise the look of the lashes. I have worn this pair twice and have removed them both times by pulling them off and using oil-free makeup remover. The lash lost quite a bit of mink fibers hairs (~10 per lash) and has caused the lash to look more sparse.<br />
<br />
The following shows the wear of the lash after two uses:<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">The quality of the mink hairs were soft and felt like real lashes</span><span style="background-color: white;">. These are great lashes for a night out or more dramatic everyday look. They add lots of length and wispiness to makeup looks. </span><span style="background-color: white;">These lashes retail for $30 individual and $130 with the Pin-Up Girl Collection. This company often has sales (BOGO, B2G2, etc.) so you often do not have to pay full retail. If you want to splurge on a nice pair of lashes and prefer semi-dramatic styles, this pair is for you.</span></div>

<br />
I figured I would do something a little different from what I usually do and that is something neutral with winged liner. This video tutorial features indie makeup products, which are relatively cheap to get, and makes this look budget friendly. I'm not sure what the typical prom look looks like but I will call this a prom look.<br />

Yes, I am still reviewing Koko Lashes back from when I ordered on Black Friday but this is the last pair of lashes I ordered from back then! Today, I am reviewing Koko Lashes Misha.</div>

<b>PACKAGING</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Same as the Foxy, Ariel, Risque, Koko, Iris, Bella, and Goddess style. The packaging is thin, non-bulky, and quite cute. The name of the lash on the back of the box and the tray of the lashes. </div>

Let's see how these lashes perform....</div>

After the jump.</div>

<b>APPLICATION</b><br />
<div>
These lashes were easy to apply. These lashes have a thin band and were lightweight. I waited around 20 seconds before I applied the lashes (using House of Lashes lash glue) and they were easy to move around before I was satisfied with the placement. I did not need to cut them since they were the perfect size for my eyes but that will depend on your eye shape and size.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Below is a before and after to show the effect of the lashes:</span><br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
But the real test is...<br />
<b>LONGEVITY/WEAR</b><br />
These lashes were extremely comfortable during wear time and I wore them for about 5-8 hours each use. They didn't feel like they were there and felt like they were part of my lashes. None of the sides lifted during wear and the lashes came off easily with oil-free makeup remover. None of the hairs were bent or altered in any way after multiple uses, and they withstood my abuse. They look practically the same as the first day I used them.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
<b>QUALITY / PRICING / RANDOM:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The quality of the lash fibers were great and were similar to the style of Iris. </span><span style="background-color: white;">They were not as soft as mink lashes but were great quality human hair lashes. The hairs are of slightly better quality to Ardell lash hairs, and I think for the price, these lashes are great quality. I got these for $4.89 on sale but they are $6.99 retail price.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Cons:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">None that I could think of.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
<b>WOULD YOU IT BUY AGAIN?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
Yes. I love the wispiness to these lashes and how they don't completely block whatever color I put on the lid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
These lashes are a dead on dupe to House of Lashes Siren and a wispier version of House of Lashes Bambie. These lashes are a great alternative for House of Lashes if you find them too expensive.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been a while since my last blog post. I have been really busy with my 30 day makeup challenge that I am currently doing on my Instagram. It is challenging for the fact that I have to post 30 different makeup looks in 30 consecutive days! I made a calendar for the challenge I like to call "March Makeup Madness" and I am getting close to the end. However, the most challenging days are the last 3 days I have, which I believe is mythical creature, horror, and anything SFX. When I am done with that, I can really get back to blogging and possibly make a Youtube video. <i>Maybe </i>make a video...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I figured I do another basics video and show you how I do my brows! I get several comments about my brows so I figured I show you the "secret" to how I do them. They are done a bit differently to how people typically do their brows.<br />

Yes, I am still reviewing Koko Lashes back from when I ordered on Black Friday. I'm slow, I know but that just means I'm really meticulous with this. Just wanna make sure you are getting a good review. Today, I am reviewing what I would say is one of the more popular styles, if not the most popular, Goddess. This is the famous House of Lashes Iconic dupe and it is pretty much dead on dupe for those wondering. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's see how these lashes perform....</div>

<b>PACKAGING</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Same as the Foxy, Ariel, Risque, Koko, Iris, and Bella style. The packaging is thin, non-bulky, and quite cute. Now, the name of the lash on the back of the box! (I still secretly believe the company has read my reviews and listened to me)</div>

<b>APPLICATION</b><br />
<div>
These lashes were easy to apply. These lashes have a medium thickness band and were lightweight. I waited around 20 seconds before I applied the lashes and they were easy to move around before I was satisfied with the placement. I cut them quite a bit but the amount you cut will depend on the size and shape of your eye.<br />

But, the real test is...<br />
<div>
<b>LONGEVITY/WEAR</b></div>
<div>
These lashes were comfortable during wear time and I wore them for about 8 hours. They were comfortable during the duration of wear but can feel "heavy" towards the end of wear. None of the sides lifted during wear and the lashes came off easily with oil-free makeup remover. None of the hairs were bent or altered in any way after my first use, and they withstood my abuse.<br />
They look practically the same now as they did when they came out of the box so no photos are needed to show wear. I want to emphasize they look the same and I have now worn them probably 3-4 times; this is usually the point where lashes crap out on me and the string that keeps it together comes off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>QUALITY / PRICING / RANDOM:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The quality of the lash fibers were great and were similar to the Bella style quality wise. They were almost as close to quality of hairs as mink lashes, and I think for the price, these lashes are amazing quality. I got these for $4.89 on sale but they are $6.99 retail price. This style of lashes are perfect if you want some noticeable but not too dramatic flared-out volume and length.</span></div>

Hell yes. I understand the hype for these lashes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px;">
As I have said earlier in this post, the Goddess style is a dead on dupe for House of Lashes Iconic. This is a great alternative and worth looking at over the HoL version.</div>

I am very excited to be trying a new brand, Femme Fatale Cosmetics! I have heard many things about Femme Fatale and one of them being that they make <i>amazing</i> duochrome eyeshadows. They are an Australian brand of cosmetics and sell makeup but are more well known for their nail polish. I have always wanted to try them because of the talk about them. However, I have never committed to buying mainly because shipping from Australia intimidates me a little bit. I now have a little experience from them so I won't be as scared to order in the future.</div>

<u><i>These eyeshadows were sent as a press sample for swatching and possible review consideration. All opinions are my own and I was not paid to say anything in this post.</i></u></div>

<b>SHIPPING</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I received notification of the items shipping out on Jan 28th. I live on the east coast of the US and received the items on February 11th. The items took 10 business days to ship, which is the normal time of shipping from Australia to the US according to Google.</div>

<b>PACKAGING</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of the items came in a bubble mailer and were packaged in a neon green drawstring bag. I also got a lollipop, which may or may not have been gone by the time I was done taking product photos. All the mini and full size jars came in shrink wrap and then had a seal on the inside preventing products from leaking aka what I like to call the "sifter sticker". Just an FYI but two of the 4 larger sizes I received had the sifter sticker partially removed but the shrink wrap remained undamaged so no product leaked from the jar.</div>

More photos, swatches, and two looks after the jump!</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>What I did for photos is try to get the duochromocity (is that even a word? well it is now.) in the second photo of the product. It's unfortunate that the camera can't quite capture the duochrome how I saw it. Bummer.<br />

<b>SWATCHES</b><br />
For swatches, I did a first impressions swatch performance (Top is Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, middle is bare, and bottom is Too Faced Shadow Insurance) and also applied the color wet for a better representation of the color.<br />

<b>DUPES/COMPARISONS</b><br />
<div>
<i>If you are looking for possible dupes, these are my thoughts:</i></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Wizards Only, FOOLS! is similar to Shiro Cosmetics Yzma's Essence of Llama. In my experience, Essence of Llama can blend out to a navy and won't retain the plum nature it has.</li>
<li>Carnival of Horrors is a less intense version of MAC Blue-Brown Pigment.</li>
<li>If you think the duochrome in You Can't Scare Me is too much, go for Frozen Flame. You don't need both of them.</li>
<li>Royal Tarts is very similar to MAC Expensive Pink. There is a stronger golden shimmer in Expensive Pink.</li>
<li>Dispersion is redder than the base in MAC Blue Brown Pigment.</li>
<li>Mysticism is similar to Ardency Inn Orchid; Mysticism has a more intense blue shimmer than Orchid.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>

<b>Foundation/Base Products (for both looks):</b><br />
MUFE HD 117 or NARS Sheer Glow in Gobi<br />
Hard Candy Glamoflage Concealer in Ultra Light<br />
Benefit Erase Paste in Fair<br />
Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser in Fair<br />
Guerlain Meteorite Perles in Clair 02<br />
