Hellooooo thereeeee.

I know it is a little late for an eye of the day since it's like... well... 10.35 PM here but for some readers it may still be day time soooo ;p

Anyway, VERY simple eye today, I have just gone dark on the old mop again so I have gone a little smoky/dark eye crazy. I just LOVE dark hair and gradual smoky eyes! So sexyyy! I will be doing a post about my new hair soon anyway, review the dye etc. I'm gonna stop rambling and get down to business. I always do this sorry. So annoying!

Amaaazing product that is cheapy cheap for you lot! Stargazer eye dusts! So so easy to use, so simple to blend. It's like the perfect product for anyones makeup bag, even the beginner, the begginerest of beginners! I don't even use a brush or applicator with these, I just use my finger its that simple.

Swatchy

I first applied a simple light brown base, then applied my first colour which is the '23' pot, all over my lid and just blended the excess up my socket, then I took the tiniest bit of '20' and dabbed it over the '23' staying on the lid and DONE. I added a teeny bit of a hi light, mascara and I was done. So so simple and I think it looks beaut.

I got these dusts from newlook, I don't know if they still do them but I have seen these knocking about online for a few pounds, ebay have them cheaper I think, I am going to have a look and invest in some more! Great stuff and so simple. I'd also like to add quickly that you hardly need any product at all, for my swatches I just used a light sweep from round the edge of the pot where it screws in!

Hope you love it!

 Again going for the Front Cover Mermaid dreams set, but this time using 'wave' all over the eyelid then blending it up and out with a touch of 'sea grass' also taking it under the eye the whole way across, then 'sunray' and 'fern' on the brow bone. A tiny tiny smudge of 'moon struck' on the inner corners to finish off and brighten the eye up as its a little full on dark. :)

EOTN - Mermaid Dreams.

Hi Guys,

So today I thought I would post an eye of the day however I've named it eye of the night as this is something I wouldn't really wear during the day time. It's more something I would wear on a night out when I want to really go for the heavy make up look. - I've been quite neutral as of late and haven't really experimented with a darker more full on look in a while so thought I would just have a play since I am stuck in the flat since the weather outside is totally miserable!

So here we go...

 For this eye I have used my Front Cover - Mermaid Dreams palette, which I will be doing a separate review on soon. It's no longer available at Boots so I got mine on eBay but beware if you go looking for this palette to be careful as some of the prices are extortionate... I nearly paid 28 pounds for it but I waited and eventually found one for £14 on buy it now, while some of the others were charging 30 and above... I get the impression some went on a bulk buying spree when boots sliced the price to 6 or 8 pounds when it was discontinued. Which makes me so angry that people do this and find it acceptable to rip people off in that way! Anyway I'm not gonna turn this into a mass rant. :p

Anyway, as a base I used my Boots No7 Stay Perfect Eye Mouse in Vanilla, then I applied 'Plunge Pool' allover the lid with 'Moonstruck' layered over it to create a lighter shimmery blue allover the lid, then I used 'cooler' in the crease and took in way over into both corners of my eye and then deep into my crease and also over the top I used a mix of 'Nightime' and 'Seastar' with an angled brush and blended upwards and outwards.

Under the eye I used my black No7 cream eyeliner and while it was still damp I covered it, again with my angled brush, in 'seastar' to transform it into a deep blue, I took it up in a sharp edged flick and also blended a little into the crease.

For a Highlight I used 'cloud dance' on the highest point of my brow and blended out for a hint of shimmer.

I also used black eyeliner along the bottom of my waterline but only half way ish to the middle of my eye, I then took my Rimmel white eyeliner and lined the rest of the remaining waterline to give a wide eye effect. On the inner corners I dapped a tiny bit of 'moonstruck' and took it under to meet the black/dark blue liner.

Here is my Final result!
