Daytime EOTD and Harry Potter

WHY did they split the 7th HP movie into two parts! It totally defeats the purpose of... you know, oh well. It means more detail anyway. I went to go see the Deathly Hallows pt 1 tonight. It wasn't bad. I wasn't sure where they were going to end it, and Dumbledore's burial site looked like an ostentatious granite bunker, but other than that I thought it was okay. The Weasley twins will always be my favorites ^.^

Anyway, on to the EOTDs. I rarely do an exclusively "daytime" look, since I don't usually reign in my dramatics when it comes to makeup, no matter what it's like outside. But Fyrinnae's Damn Paladins is such a great taupe I kind of had to!
 It's all Damn Paladins, with a bit of Titania in the corner and a highlight of Shiro's Meowth shade. Pretty neutral for me, but I love it.
So here's pics of the daytime look:

 

This second look is what I wore to the movie. Turns out it was very fitting, as everything in the movie seemed to be a dark blue.

1. Damask Grey - Face Candy Couture

2. Chill - Face Candy Couture

3. Nymphette - Evil Shades

4. Didn't use a liner (I'm just gonna say N/A from now on, okay?)

5. Chill - Face Candy Couture

6. N/A

7. Dinosaur Plushie - Fyrinnae

So here's the pictures, and then I'll shut up for the night

(A bit pic-heavy cause I was trying to capture Chill)

  

Face Candy Couture with Swatches!

I told you I'd do some swatching, but as I said, I'm super lazy sometimes. So I'm starting small!

I recieved this 5-sample package a few months ago and the samples inside were adorably tiny. I loved the little baggies, but I put them in the box with my other samples and didn't look at them again until two days ago... And I am so glad I pulled them out again! You can never really be sure if a shadow will look the same on skin as it does in the bag/jar. I just assumed these were pretty-but-not-super-amazing colors and left it at that. I was so wrong. They're lovely! See for yourself :) 
Packaging (placed next to a penny so you can see how cute and tiny the bags are):

These were all swatched over Pixie Epoxy.

And now a closer look at each shade:
#6 Clarissa:

#125 Pretty (my favorite of the five):

 

#105 Cinnamon:

#68 Damask Grey:

#120 Chill (WAY more complex than it looks in the bag):

That's all, now go out into the world and purchase. Thanks for reading!

Summer King EOTD and Updates

This is the requested Summer King EOTD based on Melissa Marr's novel, Wicked Lovely. (A little pic-heavy but click to zoom in on eyeshadowy goodness!) Here's what I used:
1. Triforce - Shiro
2. Molten - Pure Luxe
3. Cinnamon - Face Candy Couture
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. Molten - Pure Luxe
6. S.S. Anne - Shiro
7. S.S. Anne - Shiro



So, on to updates! I'm getting a little antsy about the whole Archetype Cosmetics order. The shipping status hasn't changed since December 28th. There have been holidays since then, so the delay could simply be due to that, but after all the customer service horror stories I'm afraid it could be something more. Gonna wait a few more days before trying to contact Holly (again) but I'll keep you posted!

Fyrinnae's wait time is always a bit long, so I'm not expecting any news on that front yet. But I have a bit of a confession to make. I saw sparklies and wanted them. And then I resisted a little but caved anyway. So I placed my first order with Hi Fi Cosmetics today and I totally don't regret it. The pigments look gorgeous from the swatches I've seen, and the reviews are great. 

That's about all I have to update you with. I've got a ton of swatching to do, but I'm sleepy and lazy and procrastinating. I'll try to do some tomorrow? Nighty night for now!
