LOTD: Boy Toy by PureLuxe Cosmetics

A look using PureLuxe cosmetics mineral eyeshadow powders.

The star colour of this look is "Boy Toy", a rich peacock blue with green reflects/duochrome. 

Its one of my favourite colours from their line... have a look! Its under their "Fall Collection", I've just linked it here.

I really should get around to swatching all the colours i got from them, they are quite lovely, and really cheap too ($1 to $2 for the "1/8th tsp in a jar" sample sizes, which in my opinion, is still more than enough, and have last me a LONG time).

When used foiled (wet with water or mixing medium) the green comes out more. I absolutely love this colour!

I did this look for my dads birthday, so i just quickly snapped some shots, and i didnt take much other note on the other colours used, i know they were all PureLuxe eyeshadows though for this look.

Lips, i used NYX round lipsticks, a mix of B52 and Circe!

P.S i know my false lashes look really obvious in the last picture, but i was in a rush :P

LOTD: Pureluxe Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadows Purple haze

Another random look i snapped pictures of (i actually did this look 3 days ago but only uploaded them now), no idea what i used, probably PureLuxe mineral eyeshadows again. Ever since i tidied up my makeup drawer and whipped them out of their boxes, theyve been sitting in front of me so i tend to reach for them more now :)

Anyways, as u can tell i seem to always reach for the purples and oranges/golds, it just suits my skin tone i guess. I shall be more creative in the future! :P However this time the purples are used are more dusky, and i matched it to the lipstick which was a combination of NYX round lipsticks, i probably had like Rea, Circe, and Power mixed together or something. i really dont remember. I think its a very understated glam autumn look, and reminds me of suede :P Anyway, here are a few snapshots :)

goofy grin :P

I love these really nude and subdued purple shadess :D

do you?

HAUL & LOOK: Pureluxe Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadows

You know, i was going through my computer and i actually found photos i had taken previously for this blog, and i never ended up posting them? So I'll be posting them now! The first one will be about my PureLuxe order, which happened at the beginning of January this year.

You can order PureLuxe HERE! :)

My extra sticky package...was a b*tch to open :(

I ordered 21 sample size eyeshadows and one moisture spritz! it said on the website that it was ideal for foiling the eyeshadows. For those of you who dont know what foiling is, its when you mix the eyeshadow with water or a suitable liquid to intensify the colour.

This was the most stingy amount of product out of the lot. Surprisingly they gave alot less since i had to pay more for this one because it was considered a 'SuperLiner', so the sample pot was $2 something instead of $1 something.

So yeah that was my purchase...on to the look i did for it...

NOTE! before you go on to see the look i did, note that i was having a HORRIBLE skin week! i looked so gross then, luckily my skin has healed up and is back to its clear self. But viewer beware if you hate a spotty face :(

Okay so i didnt end up uploading my "before foundation" photos, but in alot of shots you can see alot of unsightly blemishes coming through!!

Im using my very old, discontinued, avon 'colour trend' creme eyeshadow, just as a taupe eyeshadow base

using my PureLuxe 'Peach Champagne' on the lid
