Here's an EOTD with my colours from the mystery pack, I won't post a full FOTD because I am seriously breaking out at the moment, lol.
These pics were taken at 6pm, when I had been wearing this look all day, which is a pretty good ad for the SN primer and film noir gel liner IMO.

SN primer, bubbly inner half, verde outer half, extraVert as liner patted over film noir gel liner, I just can't rave about this stuff enough, it really makes the dark liner colours look so amazing. Generally black based colours just look black on me, a bit better foiled but you don't really see the colour. when you pat colours on over film noir they really look true to colour, and last all day long. Plus the gel liner is great on its own, I can never wear black liner, but this is easy enough to blend I can get away with it.

I can never get my pics to look that good, probably because my camera is a dinosaur from 2004, lol :lol:

Very nice, Lily! Those greens look lovely on you. I love Verde. :) I am going to have to try one of my greens over Film Noir.

My camera's a relic too. I am always bummed because the true color never show up :(

Here's today's FOTD, I really like this eye, although I can't get it to show properly in the pics :( I used SN primer, a creamy highlighter on the brow bone, superfly on the inner half, pop on the outer v and groove patted over film noir gel liner as liner.
You can't really see how bright and fun this look is from the pics, I am really happy that pop works for me though, because when I received it I thought it would be too cool and pinky for me to wear (I can wear pinks, but only certain ones without looking like I have pinkeye, lol) but I think it works pretty well with the green to balance it up :)
I am also wearing SN heavy formula foundation in olive and precious on lips (which was a sample I got in my last order, I think it looks pretty good and I usually can't wear anything with gold in it).

By the way, I have super zits at the moment, so I am amazed you can't really see them in the photo. Go SN foundation :)

I don't see zits but I see some kickass freckles! My husband has freckles and I'm sooo jealous. They add character :)

Your FTOD is lovely.

I really need to get Pop.

Thanks Silverfern :) I used to hate my freckles when I was a kid, but they don't bother me now. I don't like foundation so heavy and mask-y that you can't see your skin at all, you may notice an absence of freckles in certain areas where I needed a bit of cover up though :lol:
Pop is really lovely, it looks pinker in the jar than it goes on, it is a gorgeous pinky purple with kickass shimmer.

Lily,

You look amazing! I am jealous Precious looks so pretty on you. It doesn't really show on me just a little sheen.

and I love POP it is such a fun color!

Lily,

You look great. Your skin looks natural and perfect, plus your eyes pop. I ordered Precious (also got a sample w/ order...if anyone wants it) and LOVE it, looks great on you!! Are you wearing anything on your cheeks?

Thanks Jen, Annika and Susan :)
I am wearing raspberry sherbert by EDM on my cheeks, I have about 5 fullsize and millions of sample blushes, so am trying not to buy any new blush for a while (although tart light is calling my name :lol:
I would never have thought to try precious, it is not at all the type of colour I normally wear, that is the fun thing about lippy samples with your order.
