New Year...New Look

Happy New Year readers. I'm not big on celebrating but this year I did miss being in Puerto Rico. Everything is much louder there. =) 

I know I haven't posted in like forever, I believe I will be able to make at least 2 post a week [cross fingers].

Let's start the year posting a look I was thinking about since a couple of  days, but wasn't sure what colors to use till yesterday.

WARNING: It's very, very green...

Some pics:

For this look I was inspired by the contrast the colors themselves create. I thought it would look pretty, and I do think I delivered. 

Products I use:

Foundation: Revlon Colorstay in Rich tan

Blush: Pink-Red row from  my E.L.F 144 eyshadow palette

Eyes:

Base: Kat Von D High Voltage eyshadow primer

Eyshadows: Silver (all over), deep blue (outer corner & crease) Deep Green (center lid), Light turquoise (inner corner)

Liner: no brand black eyeliner, Urban Decay liquid liner in Ectasy (no longer available) NYX Purple glitter

Mascara: Maybelline Falsies 

Lips: Lime Crime Glamour 101

Hope you like the look, I would appreciate if you subscribed, comment, suggest, email, read... =) Till next time....

FOTD: LOUD!

I can't call it anything else but loud. When I was wearing my natural makeup yesterday, I felt lifeless, like I had no direction. Today I just went all the opposite. I just couldn't help it. What I regret is not having a black light to show you that my shadow glows in the dark

Review: Manly 120 color Palette

Ok. This is a review on the 120 color Palette from Manly Professional makeup.

I'm going to be reviewing this amazing eyeshadow palette that I saw a review one day in youtube (the vid was by MissChievous) and when I saw how many different colors it had I fell in love with it -I also fell in love with the price- You can find this palette on ebay for as low as 17.99 from international sellers -including shipping- and 27.99 for US Sellers.

This Palette has amazing swatches and vary from, matte to very shimmery. And it has a whole set of swatches for the everyday look, to wedding make up, nightclubbing and overall looks. I swear when you see the palette you get very creative with the makeup you even match colors that you didn't even know that matched. The bad news is that is kind of messy some times and some of the eyeshadows are so loose that you have to be very careful with them -you can't even stick your finger accidentally because it will ruin it- WARNING you have to be extra careful and do not let it fall under any circumstances because some of them may actually break and you really don't want that to happen.

Pros: Really good variety of swatches, really pigmented, inexpensive, and the packaging is awesome looking.


Cons: Really fragile, to shimmery, and some are really loose and messy


Tip to a better use of this palette: Use an eyeshadow primer like: Urban Decay this one goes for $17 USD at Sephora, the Eyeshadow Insurance by Two Faced that goes for $17 USD as well and the one that I might get because I'm a minerals freak is FaceFront Survival Paint @ facefront which goes for $11 and I've read the reviews and they say it's way better than Urban Decay.

Hope my tutorial will help many of you. If you have any questions you can send me a message and I will respond as soon as possible.


Update (February 12, 2012): After a while of using this palette I realized that I didn't need so many colors, because I found myself using the same colors over and over again. I was also getting really bad allergic reactions on my eyes, then another day I dropped while I was cleaning and most of the colors broke.
