Xarata's Swatches & EOTD

[lilychemgirl]

Your stash makes me drool! I like those lip swatches a lot better, the last lot I couldn't really tell the difference between different colours. They all look so different on you than me though!

Bling on Inner Corners, Gator Gold in center, and Grassroots in crease

Oooh Xarata I love your pictures! Please keep posting them. I received a sample of gator gold and love it but could figure out if I should put it on my lid or use as a liner. When you say it's on the center is that in the middle of your lid?
Also what lippie are you wearing? You look beautiful!

i was having a nude lip day- most days, my lips are pretty pigmented, but occasionally (i don't know why) i'll have a day or two where my lips are almost colorless and i figured it was a perfect opportunity for swatching. The sun set too fast though. lol. That's the biggest difference about these swatches compared to my original swatches- natural light. i'm not going to redo the demi gloss or lavish lip cream swatches ever though( because it's not like anyone can buy them.) The original swatches will still be around, i'm just not going to redo them. I will try to get around to the others though and maybe redo the last 8 or so from the kisser slickers since the sun set and the pics are all dark.

yes, the middle of my lid, i also usually carry the medium depth shade between the lid and under the brow bone to add depth without being woah dramatic and use the darkest color only on the outer corners of the lid. bling is kind of a bright gold from my tear ducts to halfway across the lid, gator is more of a tarnished gold from just before where bling ends(they overlap a bit in the very middle) out and under brow bone (the bone, not the brow) and grassroots is just in the outer fourth.

I'm not entirely certain i had a lippie on that day(it could just be smooth and full lipbalm), but if i did it was probably gleaming (sheer gold lippie to go with the gold shadow) and possibly a terra firma lipstain in bloom, because i wear that lipstain an awful lot(terra firma is generally on the more expensive side but i am trully addicted to that exact shade of lipstain.) i honestly don't remember what i did to my lips, so i can only guess.

Cheeks were sassy blush contoured with siren glow

Your lip swatches turned out great. Can't imagine how long that took you to do?
I love your braids.

I was going to take a picture today because i went and bought batteries for my camera, but after 9 hours, beautiful my makeup is not. However, i really loved the eyeshadow today so i am posting the WHAT? anyway. I wore Sprite, Canary, and Lime sectioned on the lid with poly to line. It was bright and fun!

You're so organized, Samantha I try, but at the end of the week there is stuff littering the counters

repost of the highbeam, breathe, teal appeal photo since the images seem to flicker in and out on the other one and I can't just go in and edit that one.

Ok...so I know it's kind of evil...but almost everything I used today has been discontinued... (Karen, I feel you should know i have fallen in love with chai)

The eyeshadows go from left to right- chai, latte, mocha, and espresso.
