Silver/Gray Smokey Eyes & Vampy Dark Lips


This look is "On Trend" for Fall 2009.

I entered a contest on YouTube. The challenge was to create a makeup look based on a cartoon or comic book character. Generally, I'm conservative, so this was a leap for me.

I LOVE Peacock Feathers. I recently acquired some of these beauties from my local Ashley Stewart. You can find some like them @ my friend Candiecc from YouTube's website.

I did a review on the palette & a blending brush from coastal scents.

NYX Fall Colors = NARS Night Collection Dupes?

Great News! NYX just released some new eyeshadow colors that are close dupes for NARS Night Collection.

It should be noted that NARS eyeshadows are highly pigmented.
Their staying power is incredible.

NYX has improved their shadow's formula to increase staying power.
Some have said the new formula feels buttery soft.

NARS Nightbreed


NYX Deep Space


NARS Galapagos


NYX Golden Amber


Night Clubbing


NYX Cryptonite


NARS Night Porter


NYX Exotic Green


NARS Night Flight


NYX Frosted Ocean


NARS Night Fever


NYX Sensual


Check out Pursebuzz's swatches.
She compares both the NYX($5)& the NARS($22)eyeshadows.
