Glitter! I know this is considered more of a thing of the holidays which we're pretty much past now, but that won't stop me! Glitter is a year-round thing, if it's the sort of thing that makes you happy. And the best part? Where this was a holiday thinger, you might be able to find it on clearance now! WIN!

I love eyeliner and that's no suprise but the most important color to have in your liner arsenal is the black eyeliner. Me being a liner whore has black liner in many formulas for different looks and results. Here is my fav 3.

Liiiiiiiiiiners! Pencil liners! Easy to store, travel with, wield... So of course I've gotta have a bunch of purples on hand!

Miss Fortune pearlglide, Bordeauxline powerpoint, Fab Orchid/Dash Lily double ended pencil

Lots of purpley options! And glitter! I loveeeee the colours of the double ended pencil, but honestly? It's kind of a bitch. The dark side is insanely smudgey, and the sparkly side is really hard so if you just grab it and try to apply, it'll probably hurt.

Hi everyone! Hope you had a super awesome weekend. I'm still sceptical you all aren't sick of looking at smears of purple on my arm, but since you said to keep going... I will! Today are various non-MAC pressed purple shadow swatches (and one glitter liner!).

Here you are looking at Urban Decay Deluxe shadows in Fishnet and Ransom, and the purple from Smashbox's Celebrita quad.

This post is mostly not pressed shadows. You'll see!

Purple halves of MES Earthly Riches, Mi'Lady and Hot Contrast (THE MELANGE TURNS PURPLE)
I love Earthly Riches so hard. I don't have a lot of MES, by the way. These three? About half my collection of the formula. I generally believe that MES=mess.

Just a quick post as I'm still nursing a hangover. My head and teeth are killing me. But just to say that Head On stuff that you rub on your forehead, actually works pretty good. Alright now on to the swatches.

Here is my tiny collection of liners from Make Up For Ever. The first 3 are Aqua lip and the last one is Aqua Eye. But I use them on my lips and eyes as they said it was ok and Makeup Forever is famous for multi use products. 8C is a true red, 18C is a bright coral with a hint of pink and 16C is a bright fuchsia. My only Aqua eye is 10L which is a metallic bronze. I love all these as they are insanely water proof and last all day till I need to remove them. Very creamy and easy to blend as well.

I asked my boyfriend to pick me up 2 more while he's in the states for work. Hopefully he brings me home 3L which is a iridescent navy and 17L which is a pistachio green.

My mini haul arrived the other day from Haute Look. I ordered a few Urban Decay liquid liners when I saw they were on sale. I don't think I saved money in the long run though, as the shipping was insane to Canada and I had to pay even more when they arrived at my door. I was not a happy camper, but the pretty colors make up for it.

WOOOO! Crappy swatch time! Forgot my cam, so I had to get these home to photograph. Ech. Sorry, dudes. Also, if my internet doesn't stop crapping out, I'm going to go a little insane.

Love that Look released a week early, so rain or shine I went to my Mac counter. I swatched everything and was very careful driving home and not rubbing my arms against stuff...I'm pretty sure people think i'm more crazy now. Anyway these are the best swatches I can do, it hasn't stopped raining all week. So no sun equals less impressive swatches. I find these are pretty accurate. I also dd some dupes so you guys can try to save money.

Today was a long, tedious day at work. I came home and checked my mail, only to find a mysterious package from Europe. What could it be?
