Shiro Cosmetics Fun!

Hi!

So after receiving my package from Shiro Cosmetics, I decided to do a full look after playing with a few of the colors.

Featuring lots of collections from Shiro! 

The New Too Faced Neutral Eyes Shadow Palette!

So here is the new Too Faced Natural Eyes Shadow Palette! After complaints about gritty pigments, Too Faced reformulated a couple of their colours to make them better quality. I wasn't too sure about Too Faced after buying their Chocolate Bar Palette and disliking it, but I bought this palette for a friend of mine for her bridal shower after seeing how beautiful it was (and she's a Too Faced fan!) and realised I wanted one for myself!

Lorac Pro vs. Lorac Unzipped, and a new blog header!

If any of you happened to be looking at my blog last night, it went through all sorts of changes while I tried to get my new header working! I'll probably be playing with it a bit more throughout the day as I customise the layout a bit more, but I was super happy to get a real header!

This header was made by Synthia Jester for me! It's absolutely beautiful, don't you think? I gave her a small idea, and she turned it into something awesome!! She has a lot of other very intricate and pretty vector pieces on her website, as well as illustrations and other graphic designs!

In other news, I did a DIY light box so I can hopefully take semi-better pictures for you all! It's still rather rough, but I enjoyed taking super bright pictures!

Fingerpainting

Excuse the lag in updates! Unfortunately, this semester has been a bit more difficult than previous semesters. I'm taking a few larger workload courses, but I feel as if I have a good control on everything now, so! On to makeup :)

FOTD: Winter Golds

I got some makeup samples from Shiro Cosmetics!! :) They're so pretty, but they're loose pigments, which is new for me. I've only really worked with this sort of thing if my pressed shadow broke! I bought several samples, and then got two full-sized Tardis shadow colours.

Lorac Pro vs Laura Mercier Artist's Palette Review

When owning several palettes, you just tend to reach for one. I actually only have three palettes. The two shown above and the Naked 1 palette. I love the ones I have and am so pleased. I had the Vice 2 palette for a little while but found that I never really reached for it, and I hadn't even touched several of the colours! So I got to swap it for a couple Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks that will be coming in within the next couple weeks :) 

In any case, these two palettes are the ones I reach for, leaving my poor Naked palette by its lonesome (except for when I reach for it for Half Baked. I might end up buying just the single eyeshadow after I use up this one since it's the main shade I go for on that palette!) 

Wantable Box: Primer Test

My Wantable box for November came in!
