Hey there guppies ♥ Long time no see!<br />
Sorry for the huge lack of new posts, I've been crazily busy with my midterm exams at the makeup school I'm attending - which now are over, but we're already planning our finals! That's insane, I know, this course it's really demanding - totally worth the effort though.<br />
So bear with me in the next few months while I work on my final exams!<br />
<br />
Today I'm going to show you a very simple look I totally LOVE - using some of my favourite eyeshadows by Sugarpill and some amazing blue glitters I got a while back! Not exactly an appropriate look for the current season but don't worry, I do have a couple of Christmas looks ready to post on here ;D</div>
<br />

I had no particular inspiration for this look - except I wanted to use the <b>Ibiza Rocks</b> glitters by Feather and Fox (they sent me three different glitters and these are absolutely my favourite!). I decided to go for a bright blue look that could match this amazing shade of glitters, with a pop of gold on the inner corner. Although it was extremely simple - I mean, let's be real, this is not an elaborate makeup look - it totally stole my heart. </div>

After priming my lids I worked right away on the crease blending - like I usually do, lately; I used <b>Velocity</b> eyeshadow by Sugarpill, I applied it with a pencil brush on my crease, outer corner and lower lid areas and then I carefully blended it using a fluffy blending brush. On my upper lid I applied <b>Kim Chi</b> eyeshadow by Sugarpill - and I think I also added a tad on my lower lids too. <b>Home Sweet Home</b> is now my go-to transition shade when it comes to blue eyelooks, so I used it smooth the blending all around, on both upper and lower lids.<br />
Once I was happy with all the blending - it always takes me a while to be fully satisfied - I applied a mixture of <b>Vanitas</b> and <b>Byzantine</b> eyeshadows from the <i>Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette</i><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>by NABLA Cosmetics on my inner corners. Lastly, I applied <b>Nocturne</b> on my lower lashline and <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bones. </div>

That's all for the eyeshadows, now let's move to the details. First of all, needless to say, eyeliner: I used the <b>Epic Ink Liner*</b> by NYX Professional Makeup to draw a classical winged line - quite thick on the outer corner and with a small point on the inner corner - nothing complicated at all.<br />
Then I added the glitters: simple pattern, I applied some on the inner part of my eyes, right below my brow bone, and some below the eyeliner wing. I packed it quite a bit because I wanted an extra sparkly, extra rich result *-*<br />
Finally, I applied a black eyepencil on my waterline, then false lashes and mascara to complete this eye look ;D<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
In my latest post I've talked about the <i><u><b><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/11/part-of-my-world-nabla-cosmetics-dreamy-eyeshadow-palette.html" target="_blank">Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette</a></b></u></i> aka NABLA Cosmetics' first eyeshadow palette ever - which, by the way, it's still sold out; I know a lot of you (and myself as well) were hoping/expecting it to be restocked in time for Black Friday, but unfortunately that didn't happened and there's still no restock date yet.<br />
Anyway, here's another makeup look I made using exclusively the Dreamy palette - which ended up being slightly festive, despite I wasn't going for a Christmas-y look at all XD<br />
<br />
<i><u>~ Special thanks to Marta who suggested me "Crystal Flames" as name for this look!</u></i><br />
<i><u>Much appreciated - and really appropriate ♥</u></i></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
My main goal with this look was to use and show more shades from the Dreamy - as <u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/11/make-up-look-dark-dreams.html" target="_blank">in the very first look</a></u> I did with it I used just three. That previous look was very dark, so I wanted this one to be way brighter and warmer - so I went for the gold and red shades, and I decided to use the 'round cut crease' style to really show off the gold as it is <i>stunning</i>.<br />
So needless to say all the eyeshadows I used this time are by <b>NABLA </b>and almost all of them come from the Dreamy palette; everything else is about the same, as always, but I did include another new entries - some new glitters I recently got from <b>The Unicorn Glitter Box</b>.</div>

As I usually do in this kind of makeup looks, after priming my lids I started working on the crease blending straight away. One thing I've been also doing a lot lately is to apply my brow bone shade at the very beginning of the process, so I applied <b>Antique White</b> and then moved on to the crease shade. I applied <b>Señorita</b> all over my crease and outer corner, blending it as I went; one this I like the most of this eyeshadow, aside from its gorgeous shade, is its amazing 'blendability': so easy to blend, to the point it doesn't even need a transition colour. I know it looks like I blended it with a pale pink shade - but guess what, none of this: that is just the result of blending it ♥<br />
Once I was happy with the crease & outer corner blending, I used a little bit of foundation to clean the lid and carve the rounded shape. Done that, I applied <b>Byzantine</b> over the foundation (once it set), following the half circle I created on my lid.<br />
I decided to use different shades for my lower lid, so I used <b>Rose Gold</b> as main colour and blended it using <b>Sistina</b>; later I defined my lower lashline using <b>Nocturne </b>as usual.<br />
Last but not least, I used the beautiful <b>Vanitas</b> as my inner corner highlighter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
I wasn't unsure whether to add eyeliner or not - but then I decided to go for it, so I used the <b>Epic Ink Liner </b>in <b>Black</b> by NYX Professional Makeup to draw a simple, classical winged line.</div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To add a fun, sparkling touch to this look, I decided to use some glitters: I applied them around the half circle shape - I went for some small, not chunky ones with subtle reflects, <b>Rainbow Seas</b> by The Unicorn Glitter Box.<br />
And that's it, essentially; all I had left to do was applying a black eyepencil on my waterline, then falsies and mascara.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; font-size: 16px;">When NABLA Cosmetics announced they were going to release their first eyeshadow palette, the hype skyrocketed right away in less than a second. Their eyeshadows are always been extremely appreciated by both makeup enthusiasts and pro makeup artists, so no wonder that this palette was such a success! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; font-size: 16px;">The <b><i>Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette</i></b> debuted on October 18th and it sold out in just a couple of days - quite a record. It hasn't been restocked yet, and there's not a restock date either - which is the main reason why I didn't post my impressions earlier. I took my time to try each shade - not only on myself, but on other people too. I've used this palette a lot in class and tested it on several skin types and different complexions, so I've quite a clear idea about this palette now ;D</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; font-size: 16px;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><b>This palette shares the same starred packaging of the Dreamy Liquid Lipsticks - gold stars, moons and constellations over a black background</b>. It comes in a sturdy cardboard packaging (with a thinner, secondary one that I actually kept so it protects the palette while it's in my quite crowded makeup kit). The gold serigraphies, inserts and detailing really add a precious touch to the whole packaging, making it really classy and elegant. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><b>It has a magnetic closure </b>- which I love, I'm a master in getting my freshly-painted fingernails stuck in every closure, so the magnet is a life-saver ;D</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Once opened, the 'shell' reveals a <b>big, high-quality mirror</b> in the upper half - which is a real mirror, not one of those useless plastic ones that sometimes come in lower quality palettes. So be careful, it's real glass and thus it could shatter if you drop the palette (and that's why I kept the cardboard case, so I now it wouldn't open up on it own when I carry it around in my kit).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">The lower half of the packaging holds the <b>twelve square eyeshadow pans</b>, organized in three rows, and each pan contains slightly less than 1 gram of product.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; font-size: 16px;">This palette's shadows feature two brand new textures plus one relatively new and much loved already - I'm talking about the <b>Super Matte</b> texture, which debuted with the <u><i><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part2.html" target="_blank">Freedomination Collection</a></i></u> this last summer. Personally, I'm deeply in love with the Super Matte texture - so I was more than glad to learn that they were expanding its range with this new palette. Out of the twelve shades, five of them are Super Mattes and six are Fluid Metals - which is one of the two new textures. As the name suggest, the <b>Fluid Metal</b> texture gives a metallic, fluid-like effect - even when applied dry, these eyeshadows look like wet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">This leaves out one shade (</span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px;">Delirium</i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">), which happens to be the only representative of the other new texture - </span><b style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px;">Just Pearl</b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">. It's made of pigment, bigger pearls and smaller sparkles, which results in an incredibly luminous and bright shade. One of a kind every way, literally.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">According to my testing, each shade is so silky and extremely easy to blend - even the darkest. There's only one eyeshadow that is a little hard to handle - you already know which one, if you've already read my <i><u><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/make-up-look-dark-dreams.html" target="_blank">latest blog post</a></u></i>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Let's see each shade in more in depth.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">And we start right away with one of my favourite eyeshadows from this palette! A white shade that has a strong and lovely gold sparkle in it - also being duochrome, it appears more white or more gold depending on the angle and the lighting. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">As the description suggests, it's a nice highlighter - I <i>love </i>using it on my inner corners, it immediately lights up every makeup look, even the simpler. But I've also tried it on my lid, right at the centre in a halo eyes look - and it was stunning, I regret not taking pictures of that makeup. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">The first Super Matte shade from this palette is a neutral brown, looks like the mix of Fossil and Narciso (if you own them already you know what I mean). This kind of discreet shade is the perfect transition shade to achieve the smoothest blending, that can complement every natural look but also the most sophisticated ones. These type of shades are never enough!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; font-size: 16px;"><b><u>Vanitas</u></b>: <i>"</i></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i>Peachy-pink duochrome with golden reflects."</i> <i><b>Fluid Metal.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">This is quite a classic shade that every brand, sooner or later, produce - but as much as they could look close, they rarely end up being identical. Vanitas, for example, is more peachy than pink - and this is enhanced by the gold reflect. And yeah, I do have a thing for this type of shades quite honestly - every time I see a pink shadow with a strong gold shimmer I just can't resist xD</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">I've used it <i>a lot</i> as inner corner highlighter, because it's gentle yet noticeable. Also stunning as highlight on the middle of the lid in any halo eyes look.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Make yourself comfortable, I have <i>a lot</i> to say about this eyeshadow!</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Let's start from the texture, the new <i>Just Pearl</i>. Theoretically a great idea, but it needs to be revised and improved a little.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">This eyeshadow has a strong brownish base and it's filled with bigger pearls and smaller sparkles - the problem here is that the base pigment and the sparkles are somehow separated. So when you apply it (even with your fingers) the base adheres to the skin quite easily, while all the shimmering particles struggle to stick to the base and tend to fall out conspicuously. I remember using it in class and having my classmate/model with her under-eye covered in fallout, no matter how careful I was.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Anyway, no matter how rebellious an eyeshadow can be, I always try to find a solution. I have found two in this case.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Option n° 1: <b>use a creamy base underneath</b>. Preferably not a dark base - I tried using a black eyepencil and it worked nicely because it prevented the fallout, but on the other end it didn't enhance the colour - on the contrary, it kind of dimmed it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Option n° 2: this is the one I like the most, and consist in <b>getting the brush wet</b> (using some kind of spray, like MAC Cosmetics' Fix +) <b>then picking up some product and then spraying the brush once again</b>. In this way you make sure that the eyeshadow will stay on your brushes AND that it will adhere on the skin much better, being wet. You'll also have a much better result in terms of payoff (the colour will be really enhanced) and way lesser fallout - close to zero.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">So don't give up on this eyeshadow - it can be hard to handle, yet not impossible. And it's worth the struggle, since it's such a <i>beautiful</i> brown/purple shade (which looks even more beautiful on medium/dark skin tones, as I learnt by experience).</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">I really look forward to an improved version of this new texture, with a well-mixed powder and less fallout.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">NABLA has several gold eyeshadows in its range already - yet they manage to create new golds always different from the 'older brothers' from previous collections. Byzantine is the warmest so far, precious as an ancient artifact; it benefits from the new <i>Fluid Metal</i> texture, which makes it also the brightest so far, rich and wonderfully pigmented. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Having a thing for golds, I was very excited about this shade too, which I've used on my lid (and felt like a golden jewel) but also on my inner corner for a different, much noticeable highlighting. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Rose with a pinch of peach, well balanced - great addiction to the <i>Super Matte</i> range. It's suitable as transition shade for both pink and peach looks, natural looks, but also for darker looks to make them more sophisticated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">But, being a Super Matte, is so pigmented that can be easily used on the lid - this is why I appreciate this texture so much, because even the lightest shade is well pigmented and you don't need to layer it over and over again to achieve a good colour payoff. So far, they're all very true-to-pan. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Another interesting shade, a bronze with a strong reddish hue. The red, 'strawberry' side of this eyeshadow prevails on the bronze and creates a very warm, unique shade - bright and deep at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">I love how it look when paired to Rose Gold - paired, not mixed - in order to create a soft gradient, and blended with Señorita. They look like they were made for each other - and maybe they really were after all xD</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Inception looks very purple and lilac from the pan, but once it's applied on the skin the brownish base immediately shows up and tends to prevail over the lilac reflect. Mind you, it's still a cute colour - just not what I was expecting after looking at the pan. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Apart from that, nothing wrong with its pigmentation, texture and quality: the base and the metallic sparkles are well blended together, just like the other fluid metals. To me, this is a very successful texture :D</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Another of my favourite shades (if not my very favourite) from this palette - definitely my very favourite Super Matte out of the ones featured in this palette.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">I think this is a great addiction to the range, as red eyeshadows of any kind are quite hard to find. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">This shade's cool-toned (which I <i>looove</i>), so sweet and romantic; works perfectly as transition shade or as crease shade (it's so easy to blend) but also as lid shade - because, again, super mattes are highly pigmented. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">If I could choose only one eyeshadow from this palette to come in a full sized refill pan, I'd surely choose Señorita! </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Rose Gold is a... rose gold shade, groudbreaking XD</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Joking of course. Rose Gold is a very interesting shade because - other than used pure on its own - it can work as a jolly eyeshadow to create the perfect rose gold according to our own preferences. Just mix it with either Byzantine or Metal Cupid to make it more rose or more gold - personally, when I don't use it on its own, I like to mix it with a pinch of Byzantine so it looks a little more golden. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">But let's be real, it's a beautiful shade on it own - and rose gold eyeshadows are tricky to find, meaning that usually they're either too gold or too rose. This one - keeping aside any personal preference - nails the definition of 'rose gold' - it looks exactly like the metal of the same name.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Lullaby reminds me of Circle, but contrary to that it's not as cool - and it's a pure mauve, simply as that. You know I'm not into mauve shades, but Lullaby has quickly become a new favourite of mine. I've been using it a lot as transition shade - being quite light and soft it's ideal to smooth any blending, adding a subtle touch of colour.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><b><u>Dogma</u></b>: </span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px;">"</i></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i>Intense dark brown."</i> <i><b>Super Matte.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Last but not least, the darkest shade of this palette is Dogma, a deep chocolate shade. Just a tiny amount can intensify every look in a snap, and it's perfect to define the lashline in a very natural way (as it's not a harsh and intense as a black eyeshadow). </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Sounds crazy but I was happy to have a dark brown shade in this palette, because I didn't own any before and now that I'm attending a makeup school I've realized how it is an essential shade in every makeup kit. (I'll be definitely investing in other brown shades by NABLA such as Camelot and Wide Side)</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">I've used this shade in many different looks at school, from morning and evening makeup to even bridal - it really is a passepartout eyeshadow!</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><b>Overall I really like the colours' selection featured in this palette</b> (and I already dream of a new Dreamy palette - no pun intended XD - with all cool shades like greens and blues); <b>I think it could've used another dark matte shade</b>, other than Dogma - perhaps a really, really dark purple or, why not?, even a good old black. NABLA already has a black eyeshadow available, true, but Nocturne is from the Matte range and I'd love to see a black Super Matte eyeshadow *-* Much deeper, much more pigmented.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">(Speaking of the colours, as Mrdanielmakeup aka NABLA's art director pointed out, they're divided in two imaginary triangles that suggest two different colour combinations: one triangles includes Immaculate, Illusion, Vanitas, Byzantine, Sistina and Señorita; the second one includes Delirium, Metal Cupid, Inception, Lullaby and Dogma. In both cases Immaculate and Dogma are interchangeable, as they can suit both triangles easily)</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Wrapping it up, my first impressions about this palette are <b>very positive</b> and I do recommend it if you're into these kind of shades. It may also be a nice addition to your makeup kit if you're a pro mua ;D</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">Keep in mind that these shade are not available individually - although I really wish they were. I'd gladly buy a full sized refill pan of several of these shades. There's no mention about this palette being limited edition, so don't panic if you weren't able to buy it at first; they're currently working to restock it, but there's no date so far.</span></div>

Before moving on to the swatches, I want to address the supposed similarity of the Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette with the <b>Desert Dusk</b> palette by <b>Huda Beauty</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
When the Dreamy was revealed, even before its launch, a lot of people immediately commented on how it resembled Huda's latest palette; intrigued by this, and having a friend that owns the Desert Dusk, I borrowed it for a couple of days so I could study the two palettes and their respective shades. I compared all of them accurately and I came to the conclusion that they're not <i>that</i> similar. There're only a couple of shades that are really close - but that's it, and you can see it by yourself in my swatches. (Merci beaucoup ma chère Héloïse for lending me your precious palette ♥)</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
So, in case you already own the Desert Dusk and are wondering whether to buy the Dreamy or not... In my opinion you can go for it as you wouldn't end up with twelve dupes. Keep in mind that a couple are quite close, but the others are not, and some are even unique!</div>

First look using the new <b><i>Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette</i></b> by NABLA Cosmetics, which debuted about one month ago (geez, time flies!). I'm working on a detailed first impressions post about this palette - hopefully coming up this week, or next one at the very latest. (I don't usually wait all this time to post an overview, but this time I didn't rush since the palette went sold out in about two days and it hasn't been restocked yet)<br />
Meanwhile, I thought I could post this look I made during the Halloween period, since it features almost all eyeshadows from this palette! ;D</div>

Halloween is usually all about creepy and bleeding makeup looks - but if you been following me for a while, then you know I'm not exactly into spooky looks... I'm a little too sensitive XD<br />
So I decided, about one week before Halloween, to do a dark yet glamorous look - using this palette and another new entry I wanted to try.<br />
<br />
The shades I picked from this palette are <b>Delirium</b>, <b>Inception</b>, <b>Lullaby </b>and <b>Immaculate </b>- respectively: main lid shade, crease shade, transition shade and inner corner highlighter. I'm really happy with all these shadow - even Delirium which is a little... rebellious, so to speak. But I managed to tame it u.u<br />
Since this palette comes in a starred packaging, I thought about recreating the starred effect - but, since it was still an Halloween inspired look I decided to use black stars instead of gold stars. I used some black glitters to do so - <b>Morticia*</b> by Glitter Palace, which is a mix of black stars, hexagons, circles and fine black dust. I used the stars all over my outer corner, while I used the rest of the mix on my eyeliner to make it sparkly *_*</div>

First of all I primed my lids - then as an additional, coloured base, I applied a black eyepencil all over my lids and blended it using my ring finger. This little trick usually enhances dark eyeshadows - and I hoped it would make Delirium stand out much more... But it didn't worked that much this time: instead of enhancing it, the black base 'dimmed' Delirium a bit. But it did reduce the fallout, which is good (especially with this eyeshadows that has a lot of fallout).<br />
Anyway, as you can guess once I was done with the black base I applied <b>Delirium </b>all over the lid and blending it upwards, on the crease.<br />
As crease shade I used <b>Inception</b>, which gets along with Delirium so nicely; I applied it also on the outer corner and lower lid (where I later overlaid a little bit of Delirium).<br />
I blended Inception using a clean brush at first, then I added the transition shade - <b>Lullaby</b>, which complements this look wonderfully *_* The last shade from the <i>Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette </i>I used is <b>Immaculate</b>, which I applied on my inner corners.<br />
At this point I was pretty much done with the eyeshadows: all I had to do was apply my brow bone shade (<b>Antique White</b>) and define my lower lashline with a black shadow (<b>Nocturne</b>).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the fun part: eyeliner & glitters! I used the <b>Epic Ink Liner in Black </b>by NYX Professional Makeup to trace a quite classical winged line, with a sharp point on the inner corner area. Although I really liked how it looked on its own, I decided to spice it up by applying some black glitters over it. So I used the smallest and finest glitters from <b>Morticia*</b> by Glitter Palace and I layered them over the black line. The result was a magical and mysterious sparkle that was mesmerizing in person!<br />
Then I added the stars, which again come from the Morticia glitters: I applied them one by one, only on the outer corner area (I didn't go any further because I feared the look would end up being too crowded). But I added just one star on my inner corner, I thought it looked cute ♥<br />
Once I was happy with all the stars' placement, I completed this look by applying a black eyepencil - the same I used as a base previously - on my waterline, falsies and mascara.<br />

With today's post I'm officially catching up with my pre-ring light looks - so starting from the next post you'll regularly see better quality pictures (and my skin won't look so different anymore every time XD)<br />
<br />
I made this look just to try this particular graphic eyeliner - inspired by Laura <a href="https://instagram.com/theclassicalmua" style="text-decoration-line: underline;" target="_blank">@theclassicalmua</a> - and of course I couldn't miss the opportunity to use a ton of glitters XD And once I was done, I realized it gave me some kind of space vibes - hence the title :3</div>
<br />

Despite its elaborate appearance, this look is quite simple: I used just a handful of eyeshadows (four, to be precise) - other than that, it's all about the glitters and of course that bold eyeliner style. It was also relatively quick to make, what really took me the longest was the eyeliner - but apart from that, it was easy peasy.<br />
<br />
The two main eyeshadows I used are from Sugarpill - <b>Kim Chi</b> (my favourite ♥) and <b>Home Sweet Home</b>, which is the best blending shade for any kind of blue look. I don't know how I could live without it XD I choose a pale eyeliner shade to add a nice, yet not too strong, contrast - and I used the Dazzle Liner in <b>Purity*</b> by NABLA Cosmetics; you know how much I love Dazzle Liners, right? <i>Right? </i>(Apparently there's a brand new shade coming up in their Christmas collection, I cannot wait *___*)<br />
Lastly, I used two different glitters from GlitterPalace - but instead of just mixing them together I preferred to use just 'parts' of each one... Some in the same pale blue shade of the shadows, some in a totally different colour to add some more contrast :D</div>

After priming my lids I applied <b>Kim Chi</b> eyeshadow by Sugarpill Cosmetics all of the upper lid, lower lid and crease area; I blended it all around using <b>Home Sweet Home</b> eyeshadow by Sugarpill. Then I applied <b>Pegasus</b> foiled eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics on my inner corner and <b>Antique White</b> eyeshadow on my brow bone.<br />
Easy peasy, isn't it? Since I knew I was going to add the glitters and also that I was going to do a very big graphic liner I kept the eyeshadows down to the bare minimum.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before applying the glitters I preferred to take care of the eyeliner. I used the Dazzle Liner in <b>Purity* </b>by NABLA Cosmetics - I drew the bold wing first, and once I was happy with it I moved inwards to draw the curved line that follows the crease shape.<br />
Done that, I was ready to cover my lids with glitters: I used two different glitters by Glitter Palace - <b>Bob</b> and <b>Billie</b> - not really mixed together though, as I used the pale blue dust from Bob and the purple hexagons from Billie. I packed them on my lid until I completely covered it, making sure I didn't apply any on the eyeliner.<br />
I completed the look applying a baby blue eyepencil on my waterline, then falsies and mascara.<br />

.post-title {text-align:center !important;}
</style>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
Second look using my new Sugarpill eyeshadows (I talked about them <u><b><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/10/part-of-my-world-sugarpill-cosmetics-eyeshadows.html" target="_blank">in this post</a></b></u>)! After the <u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/11/make-up-look-tropical-eyes.html" target="_blank">previous one</a></u> - tropical and summery - I decided to make a deeper look using different shades. As you can probably tell by the title, I was inspired by pansies - the black, purple and yellow ones, which are one of my favourite flowers in terms of colours *_*</div>
<br />

The colour scheme is pretty basic - as I said, black, purple and yellow - so to spice the look up I decided to apply the glitters in a different pattern, so to speak. I usually apply them on my inner corner, or on my lids - but this time I decided to apply it on my outer corner, instead of the more classical blending... I thought I could be a nice twist, and I think it worked nicely :D<br />
<br />
The Sugarpill eyeshadows I chose are <b>2AM</b>, an amazing shade of purple, and <b>Buttercupcake</b> aka the bright yellow (which I've also used in my previous look). Since I don't own Bulletproof (Sugarpill's black eyeshadow) I used my usual black shadow from NABLA ^^"<br />
Let's see how I made it - let me tell you, it was a very short process XD</div>

After priming my lids I started right away with the main lid shade: I used <b>2AM</b> eyeshadow by Sugarpill all over my upper lids, blending it upwards into the crease and outwards on the outer corner. To add depth and intensify the purple, I used <b>Nocturne</b> eyeshadow my NABLA Cosmetics, which I applied mostly on my outer corner but also close to the upper lashline.<br />
On my lower lid I applied 2AM over a black eyepencil, then I defined the lower lashline using Nocturne again.<br />
To frame this purple I used a pastel lavender as transition shade - more precisely, I used <b>Frostine </b>by Sugarpill Cosmetics and blended it all over the crease area, outer corner and lower lid. I don't use non-matte shadows as transition shades quite often, but Frostine is barely frosted so it can be used for this specific purpose too.<br />
On my inner corner I applied <b>Buttercupcake</b> (I'm enjoying this matte yellow shade more than I expected XD) - this time I didn't alter its finish by overlaying a shimmer shadow like I did in the previous look, and I leave it pure and matte as it is *-*</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before moving on to the final steps I had to take care of the glitters - so first of all I applied my foundation (for those of you who're wondering, I always do my eyes <i>first</i> and my base once I'm done), then I applied my brow bone shade (<b>Antique White </b>by NABLA).<br />
So my idea was to use the glitter to create a sort of blending, thus they had to be quite packed right on my outer corner and then fade away outwards. To do so, I applied a layer of fine pressed glitters (<b>Chewee</b> by GlitterTubes) all over the outer area; then I applied <b>Aretha</b> glitters by Glitter Palace right over this first layer, packing them and creating a shape that reminded a V shaped-blending (like the ones I usually do).<br />
Once I was done (it didn't really take much time) I added the final touches: black eyepencil on the waterline, falsies (which are actually two pairs piled up, they wouldn't show up in the pictures otherwise XD) and mascara.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
Now that Halloween is over, it's time for me to get back on track and resume the normal eye looks publication. I'm still a couple of looks behind - but bear with me, we're almost there!<br />
<br />
Today's look may feel a little out of place, since it's so tropical while we're here, in the middle of the Autumn, wearing warm and cozy clothes. Mind you, I don't relate my looks to the season, I do wear the brightest shades even in middle winter - and viceversa, I feel comfortable with doing deep, dark looks during summer :D<br />
But I'm wandering off, let's focus back on this makeup. There's a specific reasons why it's so colorful - and it's because this is the very first look I've ever done using Sugarpill's eyeshadows, back in August. Very bright, very summery, with a sprinkle of glitters... Perhaps a little mermaid-ish, too? ♥ The perfect way to inaugurate my newest eyeshadows ;D</div>
<br />

I remember feeling a little overwhelmed when I got to use these shadows for the first time... I had 12 beautiful shades in front of me, waiting, and I couldn't decide which ones to use first. I kept changing my mind over and over again - then <i>finally</i> I picked up an handful of shades I wanted to try; this probably took more than doing the whole look, lol XD<br />
<br />
I went for a simple look, nothing too weird or elaborate, as I just wanted to focus on the shadows to test them and see how they worked. I added some glitters to spice it up a little bit, and the eyeliner is not the classical winged-style I usually do - but apart from that, it's quite a simple look.</div>

After priming my lids I started working on the crease/outer corner blending right away: I decided to go for a bright blue shade, so I used <b>Velocity</b> - I applied it on my crease, on my outer corner and also on my lower lashline & lid. All around it I applied another bright shade, <b>Kim Chi</b>, which I blended with Velocity in order to create a soft transition. I used <b>Home Sweet Home </b> as transition shade and I blended all the edges, on both upper and lower lids - and of course on the outer corner area.<br />
On the upper lid I used <b>Mochi</b>, which is a pale shade of sea foam green - so pale that I decided to intensify it a little using <b>Midori</b>; unfortunately it wasn't captured properly in picture, you can barely tell it's there ;_;</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the inner corner I decided to use the yellow (which added that tropical effect to the whole look, in my opinion) - so I applied <b>Buttercupcake </b>there, which I overlaid with a shimmery eyeshadow - <b>Sensuelle</b> by NABLA Cosmetics. I applied <b>Antique White</b> (from the same brand) on my brow bone and I was pretty much done with the eyeshadows - no black lashline definition this time, as I decided to use a blue eyepencil on my waterline.<br />
I added the eyeliner, using the <b>Tattoo Liner </b>in <b>Trooper</b> by Kat Von D Beauty; as I said, not the usual, plain winged line, yet not <i>that</i> basic. It's kind of a double, split wing - with a specular detail on the inner corner. I've already said I used no black eyeshadow nor eyepencil on my lower lashline/waterline, just a blue eyepencil. I applied falsies and mascara, but I wasn't done yet: as a final touch, I applied a mix of <b>Billie </b>and <b>Bob </b>loose glitters by Glitter Palace on my nose bridge and on my cheekbone.<br />

Happy Halloween everyone! :D<br />
<br />
Can't believe it's already October 31st, time really flies! Let's celebrate with a themed look - not the spookiest, not the creepiest and probably not the most original... But when I received the Halloween glitter collection by Glitter Palace, I saw that one of them was named after the Joker... And I knew I <i>had</i> to do a reboot look for this Halloween!<br />

This look is very special to me because it's the very first one that 'features' my recent investment - my ring light. Since I've moved, I've been struggling with the lighting - to the point I realized that I had to buy one if I wanted to keep up my work on both this blog and my <u><a href="https://instagram.com/arielmakeup/" target="_blank">Instagram page</a></u>. I definitely can tell the difference, can you as well? :D</div>

Compared to last year version of Suicide Squad's Joker (which you can see <u><b><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2016/10/halloween-2016-joker-suicide-squad.html" target="_blank">here</a></b></u>), this one is simpler in some ways - yet it's probably more character correct. I used more green shades, and the purple/black glitters are just the perfect addiction to complete this look. I kept the little "J" detail though (I loved it in last year's look) and added the laugh above my eyebrow (the Joker has this tattoo on his chest, I couldn't find a better placement on my eye XD). So glad I have the NYX Professional Makeup eyeliners, they made everything so easy - especially the <b>Hella Fine</b> liner from the <i>That's the Point</i> range. It has the finest tip ever, that's what I used for the "J" and the "hahahahaha" details!</div>

After priming my lids, I started off by applying <b>Midori</b> eyeshadow by Sugarpill all over my lid, up to the crease and blending it towards the outer corner too (I wanted the green to be really predominant). I blended it using <b>Acidberry</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>by Sugarpill until I created a soft, smooth V shaped-blending; to add depth and definition to the crease and outer corner I applied a pinch of <b>Nocturne</b> eyeshadow by NABLA (a matte black, simple as that). On my brow bone I applied <b>Antique White</b> eyeshadow by NABLA, as usual - and I used it to perfect the blending even more. Perfectionist much? XD<br />
On my lower lid I applied <b>2AM</b> by Sugarpill, and I defined my lower lashline using Nocturne; lastly, I applied <b>Frozen</b> eyeshadow by NABLA on my inner corner.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the liners: first of all, I did the main winged line, using the <b>Epic Ink Liner*</b> by NYX Professional Makeup. Not too thick, not too think, with less slanted (than usual) wing a small detail on the inner corner.<br />
Using the <b>Hella Fine*</b> liner from the <i>That's the Point</i> range (again by NYX Professional Makeup) I did the "J" above my cheekbone and the "hahahahaha" above my eyebrow tail. And I this point... I realized that I hadn't applied my foundation yet D: Panic! I applied it and I dabbed it around the details the best I could (you can tell if you look closely around my eyebrow area). This is what happens when you're so excited about a look, to the point that you forget some steps along the way XD<br />
Anyway, after fixing the foundation issue, I went ahead and applied the glitters: I used <b>The Joker*</b> loose glitters by Glitter Palace.<br />
Finally, I completed the look by applying a black eyepencil on my waterline, false lashes and mascara.<br />

<span lang="EN-GB">Before leaving for makeup school, I got one of the most amazing present ever: twelve Sugarpill eyeshadows. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been admiring their eyeshadows for <i>ages</i>: they have amazing feedbacks, their price point is good (especially since the pans are so big) and they really look simply <i>stunning</i>.
So you can imagine my excitement when I got them! *_* I’ve been playing with
them for a while, so this is not going to be just a plain haul post, because I'll be also including my first impressions about these shadows. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

I did a Sugarpill wishlist a while back - and realized that there wasn't even one single shade that I didn't want. For the first time, I liked the whole range - and this never happens. But of course, there were shades that I wanted more than others - so my wishlist ended up looking like a ranking XD I put my favourites on top - and almost all of them are included in the selection you're going to see today. These shadows were all purchased on BeautyBay - two shades were sold out (<i>Dollipop</i> and <i>Love +</i>), hopefully I'll managed to get them later this year along with a couple of Pro Palettes - which were also sold out. Bummer ç_ç This is why I had to find a temporary accomodation for all these shadows - I bought a Wycon magnetic palette (the biggest one they had) which, as you can see, can hold exactly 12 Sugarpill pan, no one more. It's practical but not extremely sturdy though, so I can't wait to buy either some Z Palettes or the Pro Palettes (preferably the latter, as they're made to specifically hold these pans).<br />
I'm regretting not putting the black (<i>Bulletproof</i>) and white (<i>Tako</i>) eyeshadows higher in my <i>to-buy-first</i> list: when I realized that I didn't own any pure white eyeshadows it was too late. Regarding Bulletproof, I could use a more pigmented black. Needless to say, now they're on top of my <i>to-buy-next</i> list XD<br />

Let's focus on this selection. Twelve beautiful shades, almost all matte. I know, this is so weird since I'm all about shimmer and glitters and sparkles. But my style has changing and is constantly evolving, so in the past two years I felt the need to include matte shades in my looks - at first, only for blending purposes... Because matte blendings are the best, fins down. Then, gradually, I realized I wanted to experiment with matte colours more and more... And that's why I had all matte eyeshadows on top of my list! The only reason I got one non matte shade is because everything else was either sold out (like Dollipop and Love +), or lower on my list (like Tako and Bulletproof). </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma"; text-align: center;">I'm going to talk about the quality right away: these eyeshadows are great in any way. First of all, <b>each shade is very true-to-pan</b>, even the palest. In my opinion, they are more like pressed pigment than pressed eyeshadows, so I don't press the brushes on the pan too much. Along with being really <b>pigmentated</b>, these shadows are so <b>easy to blend</b> - to the point that they almost do all the work on their own *_* They're silky, fall out can occur if you pick up too much powder on your brush - but honestly it doesn't happen to me. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Orange is my least favourite colour, along with brown and friends. But it was another big lack in my stash that I needed to fill. Must say, it's quite a fun colour to use - especially during Halloween (check my <u><b><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/10/halloween-2017-bat-wing-eyeliner.html" target="_blank">Bat Wing look</a></b></u> out, I used Flamepoint as main shade - so you can see it in action!). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "georgia" , "tahoma";">I have to agree with this definition: this is a perfect blending/transition shade. Really soft and nude, helps a lot to achieve a smooth, ethereal blending. It's almost the colour of my own skin, which makes it perfect to perfect any blending without adding any more shade to it. Don't underestimate shades like this!</span><br />

The pans are individually packed in the sweetest packaging ever: a white and pink cardboard 'envelope', with a heart-shaped clear window. Inside, the pan is securely held in place by a second cardboard lid, which both 'hugs' it and protects it - also makes easier and safer the extraction process. Other brands just insert the pan in a piece of cardboard - which can easily fall out while you extract the cardboard from the envelope. In this case you can safely take the cardboard lid out, because the pan is wrapped inside and won't fall out. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">Regarding the size... These pans are huge: 36 mm! For those of you who use NABLA, they're slightly smaller than the blushes/highlighters/bronzers pans. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">They hold 3,5 gr of product - which is a <i>ton</i> for an eyeshadow. Just think of MAC or MUG shadows, they all come in the smallest pan on the left (it's the most common pan size for eyeshadows) which holds 1.3 - 1.8 gr of product, depending on the brand . Considering this, the price/quantity ratio is really good: about 8 € each for 3,5 gr... Especially compared to MAC Cosmetics ones, which cost 14 € for 1,3 gr. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">Needless to say, the pans are magnetic - so they can fit any magnetic palette. Being so big, though, the more you have the bigger the palette has to be - unless you choose to have several palettes, but I find it unhandy. I rather prefer having less but bigger palettes, instead of tons of smaller ones. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
I've just realized Halloween is only 11 days away - so I decided to put the other looks waiting in the drafts on hold and to go ahead with the Halloween series. I've done only one look so far - aka this one (apart from the Disney Villains looks which are kind of an Instagram exclusive as of now) - but I thought it was better to start right away! Also because next week I'm going to post only hauls probably (the Sugarpill one and the NABLA one). So without any further ado, let's get started!<br />
<br />
This year's Halloween series will feature <b>Glitter Palace's Halloween Collection*</b> and also the new <b>That's the Point*</b> eyeliners by NYX Professional Makeup - which I received just recently! As you can imagine, the glitters are all fit for Halloween - while the eyeliners, with their different tip sizes and shapes, are perfect to design and draw basically <i>everything</i>.<br />
I plan to do as many makeup looks as I can using all of these products... So I have to run, time flies! *tick tock*</div>
<br />

The main inspiration for this look is, once again, Swayze Morgan (<u><a href="https://instagram.com/swayzemorgan" target="_blank">@swayzemorgan</a></u> on Instagram - check her out if you haven't already!), who created an intense Halloween look featuring a dramatic bat wing eyeliner one month ago or so... And I've been wanting to try it since then! *-* To achieve this particular design, I used both the Epic Ink Liner (for the sharp edges) and one of the new That's the Point liners - in this case, I chose <b>Put a Wing on It*</b> (it has a big pointed tip, quite stiff, perfect for any kind of dramatic winged line).<br />
<br />
As for the glitters, I chose the orange ones - <b>Chucky*</b>, which is a mix of medium orange hexagons, tiny black hexagons, fine orange glitters and even glow in the dark hexagons, with a pinch of neon orange strands. In one word: <i>bomb</i>! *___*</div>

After priming my lids I started off by applying <b>Suburbia </b>eyeshadow by Sugarpill - a matte coral - on the crease, outer corner and lower lid. On my lids (both upper and lower) I applied <b>Flamepoint </b>by Sugarpill - which is a bright matte orange that screams Halloween XD I blended it with Suburbia to create a soft transition (easier done than said, Sugarpill eyeshadow are so incredibly blendeable, it's unreal *____*).<br />
On my inner corner I used <b>Clementine</b>, a shimmery orange that goes so well with Flamepoint; on my brow bone I applied <b>Antique White</b> eyeshadow - which I used also as transition shade this time - and I defined my lower lashline using <b>Nocturne </b>(all shadows by NABLA Cosmetics). </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As usual, before applying the glitter I did the eyeliner design. This time I used two different eyeliners, both by NYX Professional Makeup: I applied the <b>Epic Ink Liner*</b> on my lid, then I went on using <b>Put a Wing on It* </b>(from the <i>That's the Point</i> range) to draw the big, outer wing. Then I used the Epic Ink Liner to add the details of the wing - aka the 'spikes' and sharp edges.<br />
Once I was done and happy with the bat wing design (which took me a while), I applied the glitters: I used <b>Chucky*</b> loose glitters by Glitter Palace and I applied them on both my upper and lower lids (I used my lash glue to make it stick to my skin).<br />
At this point the look was almost complete: I applied some dramatic eyelashes (<b>Double Up lashes n° 201 </b>by Ardell Beauty), mascara, and the usual black eyepencil on my waterline... And I was 100% done!<br />

Happy mermaid Monday everyone :D<br />
<br />
Today's look is probably the most difficult I've ever done so far! It's inspired by a look/mini tutorial by <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/giuliannaa/" target="_blank">@giuliannaa</a></u> on Instagram - whenever I see mermaid tails/flukes/scales I have to try those looks as soon as possible XD Althought - spoiler - I decided to recreate my own tail/fluke, so this look is so <i>me</i> - more than ever! *_*<br />
I was (and I still am) extremely satisfied with this look, because it features all my favourite colours, glitters, and of course it's mermaid themed... But it was SO challenging and tiresome to make! Totally worth it, though: it's mesmerizing!<br />
On a side note, I think it could be a nice Halloween makeup idea, especially if you're not into creepy/scary makeup looks (like me XD). </div>

As I said, it's inspired by a look by Giulianna Maria on Instagram (click <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BYePe80Fody/?taken-by=giuliannaa" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a></u> to see her original look). I followed quite closely her mini tutorial, but I completely changed all the colours and, most importantly, the fluke shape. Instead of replicating her design, I decided to replicate my own fluke shape! Wait, I'm going to put a picture right away :D<br />
<br />

<br />
Here it is! That's my tail and that's my very own fluke - and it was my guide for this look! So basically this makeup is dedicated to my own tail XD I thought it was so cool ;D<br />
That being said, you can see why I used light green, light blue, teal and shades like that... Since I was recreating my tail, so I did my best to use the same colours, in addition to the fluke design - if that makes sense. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
The first part was actually pretty easy: before creating the complex tail and scales pattern, I had to create the basic eye look. After priming my lids, I started off by applying <b>Mochi </b>eyeshadow by Sugarpill on my crease, to start building the blending. I intensified this shade using <b>Midori </b>(another Sugarpill eyeshadow) - and I did these two steps on my lower lid too.<br />
On my upper lid I applied <b>Shark Bait</b> eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics, and I used <b>Shore Thing</b> (from the same brand) as transition shade to achieve the smoothest blending possible on the outer corner and lower lid. On my inner corner I applied <b>Frostine </b>eyeshadow by Sugerpill; on my brow bone I applied <b>Antique White</b> by NABLA Cosmetics and I defined my lower lashline using <b>Nocturne </b>(also by NABLA).</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the crazy part. First of all I carved out the tail/fin shape using my foundation (<b>Pro Longwear</b> in <b>NW15 </b>by MAC Cosmetics): using a flat brush, I applied it to erase the colours underneath and also to have a guide for the later design. Once it dried, I applied Kim Chi by Sugarpill all over it, as base colour. At this point it was time to grab the eyeliner and draw the scales and the fins - I used the <b>Epic Ink Liner</b> in <b>Black </b>by NYX Professional Makeup. First of I outlined the shape on the lid (no scales for now) and to draw the fluke. Then I took Kim Chi again and filled in where needed (basically the fluke, where I also added a touch of Shark Bait and Nocturne, to add depth).<br />
Once I was happy with the main design I added all the small details: first of all I worked on the scales (which took <i>forever</i>, seriously) and the lines in the fluke. When I was done, I added the glitters - I used all GlitterTubes pressed glitters: I used <b>Dory</b> for the scales, while I used <b>Emerald </b>and <b>Splash</b> on the fluke.<br />
At this point I was pretty much done: to complete the look I applied the usual black eyepencil on my lower waterline, then false lashes and mascara... And <i>finally</i> I was done!<br />

If I'd have to name one of my favourite looks I've made in the last couple of month, I'll surely name this one immediately! I love <i>everything</i> about this look ♥__♥<br />
And to think that I was going for "something simple" - I wanted to try this particular eyeliner style (inspired by the amazing <u><a href="https://instagram.com/swayzemorgan" target="_blank">@SwayzeMorgan</a></u> on Instagram) that is really rock and bold... But I ended up doing this purple look with tons and tons of glitters XD</div>

I used all NABLA eyeshadows for this look, mostly from the <u><i><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part2.html" target="_blank">Freedomination Collection</a></i></u> - and I think this look represents quite well the concept of freedom, with the bold lines and the glitter rain :D Speaking of glitters, these ones are by Glitter Palace (I mentioned them in my <u><i><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/09/summer-2017-most-played.html" target="_blank">Summer Most Played</a></i></u>): they're named <i>Aretha</i> and are made of purple stars, hexagons, holographic discs and a pinch of red dust. They really added a special touch to the look, love them *_* Lats, the eyeliner is once again Trooper by Kat Von D ♥</div>

After priming my lids I started right away with the lid shade: I used <b>Eresia*</b> on both upper and lower lids. When I reached the crease area, I started blending it with a clean brush; then I applied <b>Lotus* </b>into the crease and on the outer corner, patiently blending it out to achieve a soft and smooth C shape. (On a side note, these new Super Matte shadows are beyond amazing: the pigmentation is great and they're <i>so</i> easy to blend. In case you haven't got any yet, I highly recommend to buy them!)<br />
I also blended Lotus on the lower lid, then I moved to the transition shade: I used <b>Peach Velvet</b> (which is from the plain Matte range) to soften the shape even more - I wanted a really subtle blending. Needless to say, I used Peach Velvet on the lower lid too. Once I was happy with the blending, I applied <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bone (I might have to buy a new one soon, it's my most used eyeshadow ever XD). I defined my lower lashline using a black eyeshadow (<b>Nocturne</b>) and, lastly, for my inner corner highlight, I used <b>Alchemy</b>.</div>

Eyeliner time! Using the Tattoo Liner in <b>Trooper</b> by Kat Von D Beauty I did the winged line first - which is pretty thin at the beginning, then get thicker and thicker towards the outer corner, and ends with a bold, slightly curved wing. Then I added the zigzag detail - which was trickier than I anticipated, it took me a while to nail the pattern - then I added the line and the point on the inner corner.<br />
At this point I was ready to make it rain glitters XD I applied a thin layer of eyelash glue on the centre of the upper lid (going up to the crease) and I dabbed the <b>Aretha</b> glitters over it; I kept adding glitters until I was happy with the result, then I moved on the lower lid: I applied the glue on the centre, moving downwards, tear-like - then once again I dabbed the glitters over it. (N.B. I applied my foundation <i>before</i><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>this step, of course!)<br />
Once I was done with the glitters all I had to do was applying the usual black eyepencil on my waterline, then false lashes and mascara.<br />

Today's look features a pretty classic inspiration - sunset! I think everyone, sooner or later, does at least one sunset inspired look during their life. Which is pretty understandable - I mean, sunsets/sunrises are <i>gorgeous</i>, with all their beautiful shades and vibes.<br />
I'm sure I've done at least one sunset inspired look in the past - but this one is different in many ways: first of all, is almost completely matte (gasp!) and features a graphic liner on both lids.<br />

Almost all the shadows I used are by NABLA Cosmetics - except for one, which is by Makeup Geek Cosmetics. The liner is Trooper by Kat Von D, I can't even express how much I love this eyeliner *_* I really like the contrast of the soft blending with the neat lines, and also the contrast of the matte shades with the pinch of glitters on the inner corner!</div>

After priming my lids I started off by applying a black eyepencil close to the upper lashline as a base. I carefully smudged it, then I applied <b>Blue Velvet* </b>eyeshadow by NABLA over it; I stopped right before the crease area, where I applied <b>Eresia*</b> - starting to create that sunset effect. I applied, right into the crease, a mixture of two eyeshadows: <b>Fahrenheit</b> by NABLA (a dark red) and <b>Fashion Addict</b> by Makeup Geek Cosmetics (a bright fuchsia); I didn't apply these two shades on their own because the fist one was a little too dark, and the latter too bright, so I just mixed them. Then I used <b>Caramel</b> to complete the gradient, and <b>Peach Velvet</b> as transition shade. Needless to say, each time I added a shade I made sure I blended it with the previous one, in order to achieve a smooth gradient and avoid streaks.<br />
I followed the exact same steps on the lower lid, black base included; when I was done I added some black eyeshadow on the lower lashline to define it, and <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bone. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I usually apply glitters after the eyeliner, but this time I had to invert the order since I was going to do a graphic line that would touch the inner corner too - where I knew I wanted glitters. I chose a delicate shade of light blue from my inner corner, I used <b>Twinkle</b> pressed glitters by GlitterTubes. At this point I was ready for the eyeliner: as I said I used the Tattoo Liner in <b>Trooper</b> by Kat Von D Beauty. First of all I drew the basic winged line, then I added the upper curved line that follows the crease shape, makes a thin wing and goes back inwards. I replicated this same patter on the lower lid, on the inner corner area: first I drew the curved line and then I added the wing. It was slightly trickier here because of the fine lines I have.<br />
Lastly, I completed the look by adding false lashes and applying a black eyepencil on my waterline, and mascara.<br />

.post-title {text-align:center !important;}
</style>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
<i>What happens when your hometown's beloved Lush shop closes down and, about three years later, you move to a city that gives you access to Lush shops again? ;D</i><br />
<i><br /></i>Story-time: I was extremely sad when the only one Lush shop in my hometown (and in the whole Sicily, actually) closed down two years and a half ago. I've tried so many Lush products in the past, loved a lot of them - but I also disliked some; I had several favourites and, when the shop closed, I kind of felt lost. I know, Lush has its own website and I could buy from there - but I was just too used to go to the shop, smell everything, try on stuff and be spoiled by the staff... I mean, who doesn't love to go to a Lush shop and be pampered? It's a whole different experience than just simply sitting down and buying online, if you know what I mean.<br />
Long story short: I basically gave up. Sounds crazy, I know - but apart from some sporadic, small orders with a friend (Fede ♥), I simply quit and switched to different brands and products...<br />
<br />
<i>...Until a couple of weeks ago!</i><br />
As I said a couple of posts back, I've recently moved to attend a makeup school - no wait, I think I stated I was attending makeup school <i>but</i> I didn't add that I also moved. Oh well, know you know XD Anyway, now I have access to Lush shops again and I literally dived into it. Headfirst.<br />
And so here I am with a Lush haul for you guppies, after almost three years!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Of course, once I stepped in, the first impulse I had was to grab one of everything (lol) - but I managed to stay focused and bought only what I really needed. I didn't bring much skincare stuff with me when I moved (except for hair stuff, which I brought plenty) because I already had too many bags filled up with makeup products; also, considering that I was already out of some stuff before leaving (e.g. body cream), I focused on getting what I needed the most: face cleanser, makeup remover, toner, face moisturizer, body moisturizer. Basic stuff, yet essential.<br />
<br />
<b>Full of Grace</b> <i>(Amore)</i> ~ <b>Face Serum</b>: it's a serum in solid form (the smaller bar in the picture), probably my very favourite Lush product. It's the first thing I grabbed once I stepped into the shop XD Being made out of oils and butters, it's highly nourishing - perfect for my currently dry skin - yet it's not greasy nor heavy. I use it at night, right before going to bed: my skin really <i>drinks </i>it and when I wake up in the morning it feels so soft and nourished. I've missed this product <i>so much</i>!<br />
<br />
<b>Aqua Marina</b> (<i>Acquamarina) </i>~ <b>Fresh Cleanser</b>: the second product I grabbed, I really missed this one too! *_* I remember trying it because of its strong ocean vibes (it contains seaweeds and sea salt - and the Italian website says it will give you the "skin of a mermaid" XD) and then ending up sticking with it because my skin really, <i>really</i> liked it. So yeah, I just had to be reunited with it XD I know a lot of people don't really like Aqua Marina because of the seaweeds (and the strong smell related) - but I honestly love it because of that XD<br />
<br />
<b>Let the Good Times Roll</b> (<i>Maisenza) </i>~ <b>Fresh Cleanser</b>: same as above. Another long time favourite, another highly missed product. Unlike Aqua Marina, this one is slightly exfoliating - and has the most sweet scent EVER. I remember when it used to be a limited edition product and I wished for it to be permanent... And now it is! *_*<br />
You might be wondering why I bought two different face cleansers: I alternate them, using Aqua Marina when I need something gentler, and using Let the Good Times Roll when I want to exfoliate my skin.<br />
<br />
<b>Ultrabland</b> (<i>Non Ti Scordar di Me) </i>~ <b>Cleanser</b>: despite being labeled as 'cleanser', it truly is a makeup remover. It contains almond oil, so it's very gentle and nourishing - and removes any kind of makeup easily (of course you'll need more and it'll take longer if you're wearing waterproof, log lasting products). My skin has been much more sensitive lately (which is crazy because it's been always sensitive... But now even more) and can barely stand micellar water - and rubbing irritates it; considering all of these, I decided to repurchase Ultrabland because I remembered its gentleness - and requires no rubbing, just a massage. Leaves the skin soft, smooth and nourished - which is exactly what I need!<br />
<br />
<b>Eau Roma Water</b> (<i>Acqua di Sole) </i>~ <b>Toner Water</b>: while I was there, I decided to also grab a toner - which I haven't been using for quite some time. I used to use Tea Tree Water - but that's for combination/oily skin - so that's a big <i>nope</i> as of now. So I chose the one suitable for sensitive skins, meant to soothe, balance and calm the skin down. I was a little worried because it contains lavender water, and I cannot stand the scent of lavender at all... Luckily for me, since it also contains rose water, the rose covers the lavender - meaning that I can use it safely without feeling sick... And my skin seems to love it ;D<br />
<br />
<b>Tender is the Night</b><i> </i>~ <b>Massage Bar</b>: last but not least, I <i>finally</i> got to buy this massage bar! I remember smelling it at my hometown's shop right before it closed down, but I didn't have the chance to purchase it in time. Since I didn't bring any body cream/lotion with me, I realized I could totally get this one without feeling too guilty XD I'm really loving it, the scent is beyond amazing (jasmine *_*), it's easy to store and to apply, and leaves the skin so nourished, soft and lovely scented. I have a feeling this product will join my Lush favourites list XD</div>

.post-title {text-align:center !important;}
</style>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
I have a special, personal tradition to "celebrate" the Perseids meteor shower (also known as the <i>tears of Saint Lawrence</i>) on August 10th: I like to wear dark blue smokey eyes (as dark as the night sky), and I've done this for the last four years or so. In fact, I have another Perseids makeup look that dates back on August 2014! (You can see it <u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2014/08/sunday-make-up-perseids-make-up.html" target="_blank">here</a></u>, I was still blogging in Italian back then though)<br />
I never posted 2015 and 2016 versions (because they were pretty simple), but this year I came up with something different and unique - so I had to share it with you :D</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IKj6y5jX7bg/Wca45a5yUhI/AAAAAAAADX8/7JuGe4sk35Y96ewwMrgGDq618YOsPfs2ACLcBGAs/s1600/perseids_makeup.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IKj6y5jX7bg/Wca45a5yUhI/AAAAAAAADX8/7JuGe4sk35Y96ewwMrgGDq618YOsPfs2ACLcBGAs/s640/perseids_makeup.png" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
The main idea behind this look was to use the star shaped glitters (<b>Bey</b>) by Glitter Palace - no need to explain why they were so fitting for the occasion XD Although I changed my plans on where to place the stars midway, I wanted them to be the main focus of this look - which is, quite honestly, pretty simple.<br />
<br />
I'm <i>SO</i> happy with how this look turned out - I had the idea of the starred sky and the shooting star when I was almost done. At the beginning my plan was to use the stars on my inner corners, but then I thought I could kind of recreate the night sky with them... And I also realized I could create a falling star using the little diamonds/rhombuses Bey comes with. A very simple idea that gave this look its strong impact *___*</div>

After priming my lids I applied a black eyepencil all over the lids (minus the centre) using <b>Feline</b> by MAC Cosmetics; done that, I applied <b>Blue Velvet*</b> eyeshadow by NABLA Cosmetics all over the lids (centre included this time). Using my ring finder, I dabbed <b>Virgin Island*</b> by NABLA right on the centre of the lid to create a strong, sparkling highlight.<br />
On the crease and outer corner areas I used two eyeshadows by Makeup Geek Cosmetics: I applied <b>Boo Berry</b> as main shade to add depth, and <b>Neptune </b>as transition colour to blend it out - I did the same on the lower lid too. On my inner corners I applied <b>Atom</b> (just as base because I was going to apply some gold glitters right after), on my browbone I applied <b>Antique White</b> and I defined my lower lashline using <b>Nocturne </b>(all shadows by NABLA Cosmetics).</div>

Before moving on to the glitters application, I decided to complete the look first with eyeliner, eyepencil and so on. At this point I already had the idea for the glitter pattern, so I decided to go for a pretty basic winged line: I used the <b>Epic Ink Liner </b> in <b>Black</b> by NYX Cosmetics and I drew the line making it quite thick on the outer part. Then I applied Feline on my waterlines, false lashes and mascara.<br />
Now that I was done, I applied the glitters. First of all, I applied <b>Brassic</b> pressed glitters by GlitterTubes on my inner corners; then I took <b>Bey</b> loose glitters by Glitter Palace and patiently started to place the stars on my crease and brow bone area. Once I was happy with the pattern I applied one star on my upper lid and created the tail using the teeny tiny rhombuses. Done that, I was done for real! :D<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Summer is officially over so it's time to wrap it up and see what I've used/loved the most during this past season! I'm a <i>little</i> late this time, but as you may already know I've just started makeup school so I'm still in the process of settling into my new daily routine.<br />
<br />
This summer was filled with <i>tons</i> of new entries - at least, for my standards XD Eyeshadows, lipsticks, face products, glitters... One of everything, basically - and I don't even know where to start from XD</div>

I guess I'll better start off with the biggest (in terms of size) new entry of the season: the latest collection by <b><i>NABLA Cosmetics</i></b>, <b>Freedomination</b><i style="font-weight: bold;">*</i>. I've written two blog posts about it - one regarding the eye products (<u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part2.html" target="_blank">here</a></u>) and one dedicated to the face products (<u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part1.html" target="_blank">here</a></u>).<br />
This collection is SO big and I did my best to use everything during these past months (I didn't include every single product in the picture for space reasons).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PjLVPvdU_fo/WW-G3y4GHlI/AAAAAAAADPc/TiL2BJ00WkIMIMVG_rKImgoWfiDeF9T6wCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/freedomination_part2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PjLVPvdU_fo/WW-G3y4GHlI/AAAAAAAADPc/TiL2BJ00WkIMIMVG_rKImgoWfiDeF9T6wCPcBGAYYCw/s200/freedomination_part2.png" width="200" /></a>I've used the eyeshadows non-stop, all of them (I even managed to grab the last eyeshadow I was missing, <i>Alchemy</i>!), so much love for them ♥ I also loved the liquid liners, <b>Purity*</b> (mother-of-pearl) and <b>Crystal</b> (blue) - I really, REALLY wish they'd launch a full line of Dazzle Liners: the formula is amazing, high-performing and easy to apply. <b>Klimt</b> is a long time favourite and is the king of all liquid liners, of course I've used it during summer as well :p<br />
Regarding the lip stuff, the shade I've used the most is <b>Perfect Day*</b> (Diva Crime), it's the one that suits me best and also the colour I like the more! <b>Happytude* </b>is my current favourite blush and <b>Obsexed* </b>is my go-to highlighter as of now (I use it on my face of course but also on my eyes as inner corner highlighter).<br />
After more than two months I think this collection truly is <i>bomb</i>, fins... ahm, I mean, hands down. Wondering what they have in store for the winter collection *-*<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6toT9j6S5vw/WcqcowkoFoI/AAAAAAAADZo/FkUBhi05xWoPt-WDMUuVmGgaqmJl3VmpQCLcBGAs/s1600/sugarpill_temporary_palette.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6toT9j6S5vw/WcqcowkoFoI/AAAAAAAADZo/FkUBhi05xWoPt-WDMUuVmGgaqmJl3VmpQCLcBGAs/s200/sugarpill_temporary_palette.png" width="200" /></a>Let's move on to another big new entry: <b><i>Sugarpill</i> </b>eyeshadows! *___* Twelve shades in total, still missing the Pro Palette because it was sold out though T_T I've temporarily placed them in a Wycon empty palette I bought for this purpose (side note, in case you're wondering: yeah it's cheap and roomy, but not as sturdy as NABLA's palettes).<br />
I'm not going to talk about them in depth yet, as I'm preparing a haul post with swatches and stuff ;D So forgive me for the suspense, but they do really deserve a blog post on their own! meanwhile, if you click (and thus enlarge) the picture on the left, you'll be able to see each shadow's name. Let me know which ones intrigue you the most :D<br />
<br />
Now some odds and ends! I've switched from a mineral foundation I've been using for years and years to a liquid foundation - <b>Pro Longwear</b> in <b>NW15 </b>by <i><b>MAC Cosmetics</b></i>. I'm really really happy with it - high performing, extremely long lasting, matches perfectly my skin (thankfully I didn't need to buy two different shades to mix them) and weightless. Please note: <u>it's made for combination/oily skin only</u>! If you have normal or dry skin, just avoid it - it would only dry it out. When I bought I had combination skin (as usual during warmer seasons) - however now my skin is drier so I need to switch again and I'll get the nourishing versions as soon as I use this one up.<br />
<br />
Other MAC stuff I've used and loved: my newest lipstick in the shade <b>Brave </b>(Satin) and my current mascara, <b>Extended Play Gigablack Mascara</b> - both suggested by my favourite mua, Moreno Salerno ♥<br />
Brave is my mlbb (<i>my lips but better</i>) lipstick and I wear it on a daily basis. Looks like someone has managed to recreate the exact shade of my lips in a lipstick form, it's simply perfect *_*<br />
Regarding the mascara, he recommended me this one because of its small-sized wand - best-suited for my short lashes. Needless to say, he was so right XD I also love the formula, thin, fluid and pitch-black - which dries out perfectly (so my lashes don't stick on my sunglasses XD) and it's also easy to remove from the skin if you accidentally mess up.<br />
<br />
Moving on, let's talk about black eyeliners! I currently have two and I tenderly love them both *_*<br />
The first one I got is the <b>Tattoo Liner </b>in <b>Trooper </b>by <b>Kat Von D Beauty</b>, which I think I bought in April, if my memory serves me right. This is one of the most famous KVD products <i>ever</i> - and now that I use it, I can totally see why. It's <i>fintastic </i>- long lasting and high performing, with the thinnest brush tip which allows to create both basic winged lines but also more graphical styles.<br />
The second one is considered a great alternative to Trooper (and it is, honestly): <b>Epic Ink Liner* </b>by <b>NYX Cosmetics</b>. I received this one about two months ago and I've been alternating these two constantly since then. This one in even blacker, has the thinnest brush tip and the formula is slightly more fluid which makes it quicker to apply (but also need much more accuracy). Love both of them, in case you're wondering XD<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4d8bsM_bKO8/WQnRO7CM06I/AAAAAAAADDk/HCTDGiYebb4o6QHdxSOE08F0n2omy6zuACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/glitter_tubes_first_impressions.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4d8bsM_bKO8/WQnRO7CM06I/AAAAAAAADDk/HCTDGiYebb4o6QHdxSOE08F0n2omy6zuACPcBGAYYCw/s200/glitter_tubes_first_impressions.png" width="200" /></a>Last but not least, <i>glitters</i>! You've already seen my <b><i>GlitterTubes</i></b> pressed glitters (<u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/05/part-of-my-world-glitter-tubes-pressed-glitters.html" target="_blank">here</a></u>'s the haul post) and you've seen them in action during these past six months plenty of times. My most used shades are <b>Brassic</b>, <b>Dory</b>, <b>Splash</b>, <b>Chewee</b>, <b>Sonic</b>, <b>Darling</b> - but I've used every single one <i>a lot</i>, except for Crown (the duller gold) which I don't really like that much.<br />
Anyway, highly recommended, I'm planning to place an order to get more - they are going to launch their own empty, holographic palette and I definitely need to get it so I can store all the pans together in the same place (and bring them at school with me more easily).<br />
<br />

They're all SO pretty and I can't even pick my favourite! Shades are <b>Aretha </b>(the purple one), <b>Bey</b> (gold), <b>Billie </b>(large turquoise, pink and purple) and <b>Bob </b>(light blue & pink). They have tons of shades and shapes, I want more XD Even the simplest makeup looks immediately becomes enchanting with a pop of these glitters *_*<br />
<br />
Of course with this type of glitters you need a glue. I've been using my DUO lash glue and it works, but it's a little bit uncomfortable to wear on your lids. So I'll probably get a proper glitter glue asap - which helps pressed glitters applications, as it allows to achieve a full covered glittering effect.<br />

Here's another look I've created before the release of <i>Freedomination </i>(aka the summer collection by NABLA Cosmetics, you can read about it <b><u><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part1.html" target="_blank">here</a></u></b> and <b><u><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part2.html" target="_blank">here</a></u></b>), almost three months ago!<br />
I've kept it aside on purpose too because it's quite autumn-y, given its warm shades - so I'm posting it now that summer is almost over and autumn is right around the corner!<br />
Special thanks to my dear uncle who came up with the name for this look - <i>Golden Comet!</i> - because of the gold detail on the inner crease that reminded him of a comet <i>♥</i> </div>

Since I made this look almost three months ago I don't really remember why I chose this particular colour combination - I do remember that there was no real inspiration behind it, so I guess I just felt like doing a fall look at the beginning of summer XD Which is actually so me, firstly because I don't match my looks to the current seasons - but most importantly because, despite being a mermaid, I'm not really a summer person XD I guess I was having a fall/winter nostalgia moment hahah XD</div>

<br />
After priming my lids I started off by applying the inner corner shade, <b>Clementine </b>by NABLA Cosmetics. On the first half of the upper lid I applied <b>Cleo </b>by NABLA, while on the second I used <b>Juno Moon</b> (again, by NABLA) - the transition shade on the center of the lid is just the result of the two shadows blended together! I applied Juno Moon also on the crease, on the second half of the lower lid and on the outer corner - creating a V shape. I used <b>Fashion Addict </b>eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics to soften the edges and achieve a smooth blending. As transition shade I used another shadow by NABLA, <b>Caramel</b>, and I applied <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bone as usual.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this point I applied the liners, which is also the fun part for me :D First of all I applied the<b>Tattoo Liner</b> in <b>Trooper</b> by Kat Von D Beauty and created my beloved black winged line; then I applied the <b>Dazzle Liner </b>in <b>Klimt</b> right above the black line , creating a thicker line at the beginning and making it thinner on the end. I also used Klimt to add the line on the crease area that looks like a comet :D<br />
I decided to add some sparkles so I applied some glitters on the inner corner, and I used <b>Fireball </b>pressed glitters by GlitterTubes. I also decided not to apply my usual black eyepencil on the lower waterline, and I went for a gold eyepencil instead. Lastly, I applied falsies and mascara to complete the look!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
I've been saving today's look for a special occasion, and that day has finally come! As I anticipated in my previous blog post (<u><b><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/09/the-mermaid-series-mermaid-tail-eyeliner.html" target="_blank">here</a></b></u>), I officially started makeup school! I'm so excited for this new chapter of my life and I cannot wait to be a certified/pro MUA ♥<br />
<br />
Back at the makeup look, I made this one some time ago - like, two months ago. It's inspired by Laura's (<u><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/theclassicalmua/" target="_blank">@theclassicalmua</a></b></u> on Instagram) little mermaid look, which features a lot of glitters on the upper lids and eyebrows, plus a very cool mermaid tail shape on the outer corner. And, <i>of course</i>, it went on my to-try list straight away! XD<br />
This is definitely the perfect look to celebrate the beginning of my journey, but since Halloween is just around the corner, hopefully it can also be inspiring in case you're planning to be a mermaid or <i>the</i> mermaid for Halloween ;D</div>
<br />

Although I loved Laura's look the way it was, I decided I was going to change some little details - both to match my taste but also to create my own version of it and not just a blatant copy. Specifically, I added winged liner - you know I love it so much and I tend to include it in about 90% of my looks; I didn't add much details on the fins - Laura used different liners and pigments, but I decided to keep it simple. Besides that, I kept the same colour combinations and glitter applications - even on the brows! As you can see, I loved this look so much and I decided to use it as my profile picture ;D</div>

<br />
Overall, it's quite a simple look - with the trickiest thing being the fins/tail shape, but nothing crazy, trust me. I started off by creating the lilac blending, so after priming my lids I applied <b>Chit Chat </b>eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics on the crease, the outer corner and also on the lower lid, and <b>Hopscotch</b> by MUG on the crease. Simple as that, I didn't add any other shadows - I just used <b>Fossil </b>by NABLA as transition shade. I made sure I blended it smoothly and evenly before moving on to the lids.<br />
I used my foundation (<b>Pro Longwear</b> in <b>NW15</b> by MAC Cosmetics) to clean the lids and carve the main shape. I basically followed my crease shape, going down and shrinking it towards the outer corner - but when it came to the fins, I switched to a plain white eyepencil to draw them.<br />
On the upper lids I applied <b>Dragonfly </b>eyeshadow by MUG - basically wherever I used the foundation, apart from the fins. It served me as a base for the later glitters application, mainly.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before moving to the glitters (which I like to apply <i>after</i> the eyeliner), I completed the fins: I used Dragonfly to gently outline the shape, and filled it in with a pale aqua pigment. I also used a brighter aqua pigment on the inner corner; on the lower waterline - instead of the usual black eyepencil - I applied a pale lilac eyepencil. Then I applied the liner - needless to say, it's <b>Tattoo Liner </b>in <b>Trooper </b>by <b>Kat Von D Beatuy</b>: a very simple, not too thick, not too winged line.<br />
At this point I applied the glitters, and I chose <b>Splash</b> by GlitterTubes - the perfect option for this look! But we're not done yet: time to do red eyebrows :D I used a red lip pencil to define and fill them in, making them "Ariel red". When I was happy with the filling and shaping, I applied the glitters - <b>Darling </b>by GlitterTubes.<br />
Finally, I completed the look by applying false lashes and mascara (on both upper and lower lashes!) ♥<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
September is here and summer is almost over, but I have a couple of mermaid looks for you coming up! I'm officially starting makeup school and I couldn't be more excited (and that's why I haven't been able to post in the past few days) so I decided to keep aside today's look and the next one to celebrate this event! :D<br />
(I'll try to keep up and maintain a regular blogging schedule, however if you don't see any new posts for some days just know I'm not being lazy, I'm just focusing on school! But I'll do my best to keep posting as I usually do!)<br />
<br />
Also, apparently today is <i>National Mermaid Day</i> - so one more thing to celebrate... And this makeup is really appropriate XD<br />
Today's look is one of my very favourite I've made during the past months, to the point I even considered to use it as my profile pic!<br />
I saw this cute mermaid tail/fin eyeliner style one day on Instagram (credits to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/caramariemakeup/" target="_blank">@caramariemakeup</a>) and of course <i>I HAD</i> to try it - and it was the perfect occasion to create a whole new mermaid makeup, needless to say XD </div>

I used a lot of green and teal shades - as I always do in these occasions, I can't help XD - and I literally <i>drowned </i>the lids in glitters. I wanted a strong sparkling mermaid scales effect, but I also wanted to keep the outer blending almost all matte - I thought it could be a nice contrast!<br />
<br />
The eyeliner is basically a classical winged line with a little, mermaid twist: the tip of the wing splits and becomes fins ;D Such a tiny detail, yet so effective and dramatic! I wonder why I don't wear it on a daily basis haha XD</div>

<br />
After priming my lids, I started off with the matte blending. First of all, I applied <b>Dragonfly</b> eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics on the crease, outer corner area and also on the lower lid. After blending it a little, as a preliminary step, I applied <b>Under Pressure</b> eyeshadow by NABLA Cosmetics on the outer corner and, partially, on the crease. Then I went back to Dragonfly and blended it more by using <b>Shore Thing</b> by MUG as transition shade.<br />
At this point I had to clean up the lid area and carve the round cut crease shape - to do so, I simply used my foundation (<b>Pro Longwear </b>in<b> NW15</b> by MAC Cosmetics). Once I was done with the carving, I applied two MUG eyeshadows on the lid: firstly I applied <b>Poolside</b> on the first half, then I applied <b>Shark Bait</b> on the second half (and I blended it with Under Pressure, which I actually ended up intensify even more). I applied Shark Bait on the lower lid too.<br />
Lilac is my favourite shade to pair with green colours, so I used <b>Chit Chat</b> by MUG as inner corner highlighter (which is a periwinkle, though). I also applied <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bone and <b>Nocturne </b>on my lower lashline.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before moving to the glitters application I always prefer to apply eyeliner first - this way it's easier and also the glitters don't clog the tip of the eyeliner.<br />
As I previously said, this is a basic winged liner with fins - so first I drew the line as I always do. When I completed the wing, I carefully added the fins - easier done than said, trust me!<br />
Once I was done and happy with the end result, I could finally apply the glitters! I used two different shades of pressed glitters by GlitterTubes, as I wanted to create some sort of gradient. I applied <b>Dory </b>on the first half of the lid (right where I previously applied Poolside) and <b>Splash </b>on the second half (on top of Shark Bait). I "blended" Splash towards the outer corner in a way it looked like it was fading.<br />
At this point I was pretty much done: all I had to do to complete the look was apply a black eyepencil on the waterline (as always, <b>Feline </b>by MAC Cosmetics), false lashes and mascara.<br />

This summer is <i>really </i>full of new products - which I either bought myself, received as a present from family or received as pr samples - I'm doing my best to show you guys everything XD In the <i><u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/08/make-up-look-moons-reflection.html" target="_blank">previous post</a></u></i> I showed you a look I specifically design to try an eyeliner by NYX - but I created today's look to try some loose glitters I got last month. These are from <b>Glitter Palace</b> - another UK based brand which I discovered through Instagram. The ones I got are all "chunky" - not fine, dust-like: they feature different shapes (circles, hexagons, stars...) and sizes (from dust to <i>really big </i>ones); can you tell I'm a little obsessed with glitters lately? XD Anyway, I really wanted to do a highly glittering look and that's what I came up with! ♥ </div>

I had no particular inspiration for this look, I just wanted to show the glitters off - so I went for a simple look with graphic liner and glitters, of course. You might remember this eyeliner style from <i><u><a href="https://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.it/2017/04/make-up-look-underwater-treasure.html" target="_blank">this look</a></u></i> and it's inspired by @robertavixen on Instagram :D</div>

The first step was creating the eye look <i>without</i> the glitters (which I applied at the very end). So I started off by priming my lids, then I worked on the crease blending: I used <b>Under Pressure</b> by NABLA as main shade, applying it on the crease and outer corner area. I blended it using <b>New Heaven</b> by NABLA - and I wanted the aquamarine shade to be quite visible because it's too lovely *-* With those two shades I created a soft, elongated V shape on the outer corner. I used <b>Shore Thing </b>by Makeup Geek Cosmetics as transition shade - and I applied these three shades in the same order on my lower lids too.<br />
I used <b>Alchemy </b>by NABLA as inner corner highlight (have I mentioned already that I managed to get my fins on it??), then I applied <b>Virgin Island</b> on the very first part of both upper and lower lids - just a gentle hint!<br />
The main lid shade is <b>Poolside </b>by Makeup Geek Cosmetics, which I blended into the Under Pressure as I wasn't going for a cut crease look. At this point the only two eyeshadows I needed to apply were <b>Nocturne </b>(which I used to define my lower lashline) and <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I said, I applied the glitters at the very end, so when I was done with the shadows I moved on to the liner: first of all I made the usual winged line, then I added the design on the crease (I designed the longer line first, starting from the middle and moving outwards, then I moved back and added the shorter line above it). Needless to say, I used Tattoo Liner in <b>Trooper </b>by Kat Von D Beauty.<br />
And then it was time to apply the glitters, at last! These glitters are <b>Bob</b> by Glitter Palace, and they're loose - I used DUO eyelash glue to make them stick on my lid (I still need to buy a proper glitter glue, <i>whoops</i>). I applied the glue on small portions of my lid/under-eye area, then applied some glitters, and repeated these steps until I covered all the upper lid & lower area. I really packed the glitters on the upper lid, while I tried to achieve a tear/rain effect on the lower lid.<br />
When I was happy with the glitters application I completed the look by applying <b>Feline </b>eye kohl on my waterline, false lashes and mascara!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
Today's look is one of my favourite out of my most recent ones: I created it specifically to try out a couple of products: first of all, one of the new shades from the new Freedomination collection by NABLA Cosmetics - <b><i>Freestyler</i></b>. It really intrigued me, so I decided to make a look where it could stand out. Also, I wanted to test the Epic Ink Liner by NYX Cosmetics I recently got in a PR package; it has great feedback so I was so curious to see if it was worth the hype (spoiler: yes, it is! *_*).<br />
Although not having any specific idea (I basically created it as I went) it turned out sooo pretty and dreamy, I love it ♥</div>

Today's "technique" (so to speak) is <i>halo eyes with a partial cut crease</i> - meaning the highlight is on the middle of the lid, and that the cut crease it's focused only on the centre. The end result reminded me so much of the moon shining on the sea at night - and that's why I named it 'moon's reflection'.<br />
<br />
As I said I wanted Freestyler to be the main shade, so I used it for the halo - must say, it's such a gorgeous shade! I've been dreaming of a light blue shade like this for ages *-*<br />
The Epic Ink Liner also debuted with this look and it is a new favourite of mine - so far I positively think that it is as good as Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner in Trooper! Same fine brush applicator, highly performing formula - slightly darker and glossy, the tip doesn't tend to clog like Trooper's. </div>

First of all, after priming my lids, I created the crease blending: I used <b>Blue Velvet</b> by NABLA as main shade, applying it all over the crease area, outer corner and lower lid. I blended it with <b>Boo Berry</b> by Makeup Geek Cosmetics, to achieve a smooth blending and C shape on the outer corner. As transition shade, to complete the blending, I used Fossil by NABLA.<br />
Once I was done and satisfied with the intensity of the blending, I carved out the half-cut crease using my foundation (Pro Longwear <b>NW15</b> by MAC Cosmetics): I used a small lip brush to apply the foundation and thus both clean the lid area and also cut the crease. I let it dry for a couple of seconds, then I applied <b>Freestyler </b>all over it - keeping the shape very sharp on the crease area, but gently blended on the corners. Then I added a little bit of <b>Frozen </b>by NABLA right on the center of the halo, just to brighten it up.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the fun part - the graphic liner - as I said, I used the <b>Epic Ink Liner in Black</b> by NYX Cosmetics. First of all I did a pretty basic winged line, then I added two 'flicks' on both the outer wing and the inner corner - the first going upwards, the second going downwards. I filled this small areas with <b>Virgin Island</b> by NABLA, just to add a little bit of sparkles to this look!<br />
At this point I was pretty much done: I applied a black eyepencil on my waterline, defined my lashline with a black eyeshadow, applied a cream shadow on my brow bone and, lastly, I applied false lashes and mascara.<br />

After tons and tons <i>and tons</i> of mermaid looks, about three weeks ago or so I decided it was time to make a unicorn make up - just for a change XD Nothing too crazy or graphical, I wanted it to be a very simple look - yet colourful and sparkly. I used a lot of shades from the <span style="color: #222222;"><i>Freedomination</i> Collection by NABLA Cosmetics (my overview posts are here: </span><u style="color: #222222;"><b><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part1.html" style="color: #004120; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">part 1</a></b></u><span style="color: #222222;"> and </span><b style="color: #222222;"><u><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part2.html" style="color: #004120; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">part 2</a></u></b><span style="color: #222222;">) and quite some glittersssss XD</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Since unicorns are commonly associated with pastel colours, Freedomination came in really handy: New Heaven and Lotus are certainly two shades fit for an unicorn look! Also Eresia and Blue Velvet are perfect to add depth while still being colourful. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;">I thought about adding an helix eyeliner or some 'horn-like' eyeliner - but I really wanted to keep it easy, so I opted for a small detail on the wing instead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;">And lastly... Unicorns spell glitters, so I couldn't avoid adding a lot of sparkles on the lower lashline - in a way that mimics the gradient on the upper lid!</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
After priming my lids, I applied <b>New Heaven</b> on about the inner third of the upper lid, then I applied <b>Lotus</b> on the center and <b>Eresia</b> right after it, on the outer third/outer corner; lastly, I applied <b>Blue Velvet</b> on the outer corner, creating a V shape. I carefully blended each shade with the following one - which was so easy thanks to the 'Super Matte' texture of this eyeshadows, they almost blend by themselves! I applied the same shades in the same order on the lower lids - they will serve as guidelines for the glitters application.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
I didn't add any specific crease shade, I just used <b>Narciso</b> to gently blend all the shadows. Then I applied eyeliner - Tattoo Liner in <b>Trooper</b> by Kat Von D Beauty - creating a plain winged line, nothing fancy. To represent the unicorn's horn, I applied Dazzle Liner in Purity by NABLA on the wing, in a triangular shape.<br />
At this point I moved back to the lower lid: I applied 5 different shades of glitter that could somehow recreate the gradient. Starting from the inner part of the lid, I applied <b>Minted</b> and <b>Twinkle</b> mixed together (because I don't have matching glitters so I had to mix), <b>Fairy</b>, <b>Chewee</b> and, finally, <b>Sonic</b>. On the inner corner I applied a Foiled eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics - <b>Pegasus</b>.<br />
Lastly, I applied mascara and falsies to complete the look (no black eyepencil on the waterline this time). And that's it, told you it was easy!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
Happy mermaid Monday everyone! :D<br />
<br />
Today's mermaid look is quite unique and definitely showy! I've seen something similar by two artists on Instagram (<u><a href="https://instagram.com/makeupbyjanedoe" target="_blank">@makeupbyjanedoe</a></u> and <u><a href="https://instagram.com/azraelia" target="_blank">@azraelia</a></u>) and, as usual, I decided to give this look a try! It was a great occasion to use some shadows from the new Freedomination Collection by NABLA Cosmetics which, as I've already said many times, gives mermaid vibes. (Here are my overview posts - <u><b><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part1.html" target="_blank">part 1</a></b></u> and <b><u><a href="http://arielmakeupblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/nabla-cosmetics-freedomination-part2.html" target="_blank">part 2</a></u></b> - about this beautiful collection!)<br />
<br />
The thing I love the most is the original fin design - that feels partly mermaid, partly dragon, but also looks like its flowing weightlessly in the water *__* Like some of those fishes which have these huge, thin, ethereal, flow-y fins ♥</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
I'm not going to lie - this was an extremely challenging look. As you can guess, the most difficult part was the fin(s) design, because I had to go back and forth between the liners and the shadows until it looked decent. I took <i>waaay </i>more time than I anticipated XD<br />
<br />
I did my best to create my very own version of this look, adding my own touches here and there - and I'm really happy about it! One thing I forgot to apply, though, were some glitters on the lower lid - sadly I realized that when I had already taken the pictures ._."</div>

After priming my lids I applied a black eyepencil as base on the outer corner of my upper lids: I blended it both outwards and inwards. Thanks to this little trick, when I applied <b>Virgin Island</b> by NABLA all over my lid, it basically looks like I used two different shade - when it's actually just one and the black base beneath it. And that's basically it for the upper lids ( apart eyeliner), then I moved to the outer corner. First of all I applied <b>Blue Velvet</b> by NABLA on the crease and outer corner, blending it out as smoothly and gently as I could. After this preliminary step, I used Dazzle Liners in <b>Crystal </b>and <b>Purity </b>by NABLA to start drawing the fin design. I did that before completing the shadows applications because I needed to actually <i>see </i>the design before proceeding.<br />
I used Crystal to outline the crease and the 'boning', while I used Purity for the - how can I say? - complete the fin design.<br />
Once I did that, I went on with the eyeshadows application: I applied <b>New Heaven</b> by NABLA after Blue Velvet, blending the two shades together (quite tricky, I had to use the tiniest brushes I own). I also applied a little bit of <b>Shore Thing</b> eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics after New Heaven, to improve the blending. </div>

When I was done (and as I said it took me quite some time) I moved back to the upper lid: I applied Crystal as winged liner, but I stopped mid-lid. From that point I applied Tattoo Liner in <b>Trooper </b>by Kat Von D Beauty. I combined the two liner, as I wanted them to look like overlapping, almost interlaced with each other.<br />
On the lower lid I applied New Heaven diffusely, then I applied Blue Velvet closer to the lashline; I defined the lashline using <b>Nocturne </b>(as I always do). On the inner corner I applied <b>Pegasus </b>foiled eyeshadow by Makeup Geek Cosmetics.<br />
I completed this look by applying a black eyepencil on my waterline, false lashes and mascara.<br />

Today's look is one of my fave I've recently done! I couldn't wait to show it to you :D<br />
I think I adore it so much because it has everything I love: winged eyeliner, glitters, some of my favourite colours, it gives <i>mermaid vibes</i> and also features a technique I'm currently obsessed with. Keep reading to discover which one I'm talking about - although the pictures are quite self explanatory XD</div>

As you can tell, I'm all about cut crease recently - half cut crease, round cut crease, any type basically - and I wanted to try the round one again, adding glitters to the shape to make it even more dramatic. I've found around the house the cute white holo glitters (which are not craft glitters, but I can't read and don't remember the brand's and the shade's names on the pot!) and I thought I could give them a try!<br />
<br />
Since this is a very mermaidy look - with blue shades and pearly glitters - I named it <i>'Ocean & Pearls'</i> after one of my favourite ballet variations ;D</div>

As I always do when I'm about to do a cut crease, I started with the crease blending. The main shade is <b>Boo Berry</b> by Makeup Geek Cosmetics - which I applied starting from the outer corner and moving inwards until I almost reached the inner corner. Then I brightened it up a little using <b>Eternity </b>by NABLA on top of it; I delineated the round shape using <b>Baltic </b>by NABLA, thus also adding more depth - this served me as a guideline for the further 'carving' and glitter application. As transition shade I used <b>Shore Thing</b> by MUG. I applied the same eyeshadows, in the same order, on my lower lids too.<br />
I took my current foundation (<b>Pro Longwear NW15</b> by MAC Cosmetics) and used it to clean the lid area and finally carve the round shade. Then I applied <b>Calypso </b>by NABLA all over the lid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the glitters. Since these were not pressed glitters (which not necessarily require glue), I applied a thin layer of lash glue following the round shape first, and then I proceeded with the glitters application. It was a little time consuming, because the glue tends to dry up really fast so I had to do this process in baby steps: a little bit of glue, glitters, then moved to the next small area, glue again, glitter, and so on until I completed the line.<br />
At this point most of the work is done. I applied <b>Pegasus </b>on my inner corner, <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bone and <b>Nocturne </b>to define my lower lashline as usual (all shadows by NABLA).<br />
I applied KVD <b>Tattoo Liner </b>in <b>Trooper</b> and created a quite thick and long winged line (note: when I was applying the glitters, I made sure I left a little bit of space of the eyeliner).<br />
Usual final steps were applying a black eyepencil on my waterline, false lashes, and mascara.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, georgia, tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
Let's get back on track with my pre-Freedomination looks - don't worry, more makeup featuring the new NABLA collection are coming up very soon, but meanwhile I need to catch up with the ones I made previously! (Although I'll be saving a couple of them for September!)<br />
<br />
Today's look is quite elaborate (not gonna lie, it gave me a hard time) and it's inspired by an arm-makeup (aka eyelooks 100% designed on arms or hands) by Gabrielle Alexis ~ <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gabxxrielle/" target="_blank">@gabxxrielle</a></u>. Keep reading to see her original work!</div>

So cool, right? I fell in love when I saw it, I was mesmerized by the colours and the glitters and the shape. The inspiration/original name of this look are Northern Lights - aka Aurora Borealis. (And since I've already done an Aurora Borealis look before, about one year ago or so, this one is like 2.0 edition XD)<br />
<br />
Recreating this arm art on my eyes was tricky, especially because I don't have extremely big, spacious lids. Basically everything was fine until I had to add the outer lines/glitter detailing XD So, while following Gabrielle's design as much as I could, I also had to adapt it to my eye shape and size - and thus it ended up looking a bit different from the original.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Georgia, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: justify;">
I started off with the crease/outer corner blending (trying to keep in mind the details I have to add later): I used a brighter blue shadow first (<b>Eternity </b>by NABLA), as main shade, starting from the inner corner and moving outwards framing the lid. I applied a darker blue (<b>Baltic </b>by NABLA)<b> </b>to add depth, then I used a matte blue shade (<b>Boo Berry</b> by MUG) as transition shade - but I will adjust the blending later too.<br />
On the lid I applied Jade Pearl, a loose eyeshadow by NYX that is actually just like the shade Gabrielle used in her arm makeup - but that looks so aquamarine here D: This really bugs me >.<<br />
Anyway, I applied this eyeshadow all over the lid,and I blended it into the outer blue shades as smoothly I could.<br />
On the lower lid I applied <b>Fashion Addict</b> by MUG (looks like I used also a dark purple, but that actually is the result of the later application of the black eyeshadow on the lower lashline). I applied the same shade on the inner part of the crease area, right above the blue. The original look had a very high blending, that almost touches the eyebrow - but I preferred to keep it lower.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I carved the light green lines using a white eyepencil as base, to 'erase' the blue underneath and have a guideline. I mixed two different aqua eyeshadows (<b>Zoe</b>, which is really pale, and <b>Atmosphere</b>, which is brighter and richer) and pressed them on the white base.<br />
According to the original arm makeup, there was supposed to be some visible blue between the lines and above the glitters - but due to not enough space, I had to chose between glitters and the blue... And I chose glitters!<br />
I applied a thin layer of lash glue wherever I needed to apply the glitter, and then I pressed them on the glue using a small lip brush. Glitters are <b>Twinkle </b>by GlitterTubes (I don't have any silver glitters as of now, so I used the ones I thought where more fitting). At this point I had to adjust the transition shade a little, so I went back to Boo Berry and applied it some more and blended it - all with a blending brush.<br />
Eyeliner is very graphical - a long winged line with a backwards detail that goes into the crease. Needless to say, I used <b>Tattoo Liner </b>in<b> Trooper </b>by Kat Von D.<br />
Some final steps: I used a bright aqua mineral pigment on the inner corner, <b>Antique White</b> on my brow bone and <b>Nocturne </b>on my lower lashline. I applied a black eyepencil on my waterline, my current favourite falsies (<b>Wispies </b>by Ardell) and, lastly, mascara (which, back then, was still <b>Le Film Noir</b> by NABLA).<br />
