Autumn EOTD and Evil Shades Lipstick Raving

For me, this Spring has been somewhat miserable (excluding pretty makeup and my lovely readers of course!) Lots of illness, lots of disgusting soggy weather. My conclusion? I want autumn back! So here is my Autumn-themed EOTD. I may do the other seasons, I may not. Haven't decided yet.
Here's what I used:
1. Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae
2. Fire Opal - Fyrinnae
3. Polar Bear - Fyrinnae
4. Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Ultra Black liner
5. Fire Opal - Fyrinnae
6 a. Painted Roses - Fyrinnae
6 b. Fire Opal - Fyrinnae
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals
Mascara: Sephora Lash Plumper in Black
And here's how it looked:




And to show off the shimmer:

I was really happy with the way this turned out and remembered I had a sample of Evil Shades lipstick in Ardour in my makeup stash. I'd dared to wear it out once before, a long time ago. And I wasn't very careful about applying it I guess because it feathered and stained a kind of orangey hot pink under whatever lip gloss I used. I felt a little like a clown. So this time I made sure to be precise in my application and I didn't use a gloss. It's very moisturizing on its own! And OH MY GOD it's sooooo pretty!
Hours later, it still hadn't come off and hadn't feathered or anything. In fact, it wore like a charm. I'm so happy with it that I ran back to Andrea's Evil Shades store and bought a full size! And then I returned to my stash and played around with other samples I'd recieved. In short, I now have Ardour and Primrose Path on order, as well as two of the super-intense looking Hardcore glosses in Not Your Barbie and Roué. I'm really excited! I usually stick to a normal-looking gloss on a daily basis because all of my lipsticks are a bit too... zealous for work. But it looks like Primrose Path is going to turn into a staple for me. I'm really liking the color.
So here are (dun dun dun!) lip swatches of Ardour. Obviously this is the first time I've ever provided a lip swatch for anything. And I'm not used to it yet. So be nice!
Thanks for reading! Please leave comments! Have a happy Friday :)

New Orders and EOTD

Hey guys! I just placed my second order with Fyrinnae, and I'm super excited. It included two lip lustres this time and I'm not sure what to expect, but I bet whatever consistency they really are, they'll be wonderful. Also, after a month's wait, my first Archetype Cosmetics order has apparently shipped although I can't get any tracking info and it's been several days. The last order I recieved was a set of 9 samples from Pure Luxe. I've read a lot of reviews that say their products are definitely individual, and others that say that they're just repackaged TKB. I'm really hoping it's not the latter, but I haven't seen any replicas of the colors I bought. I'll do a review on those later, but I just got back from being on holiday and I'm still kind of lazy. The review and swatches will be up in a few days.

I'm including this EOTD, because the sun is actually shining here, and I felt that these colors would catch it well. Sorry about the lighting. I haven't quite mastered this camera yet.


Here's what I used:

1. Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae (Detrivore's Hilite Gold in inner corner as a highlight)
2. Blend of Rapunzel Had Extensions and Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
3. Celery Shimmer - Dash Cosmetics
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
6. (a) Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae
6. (b) Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
7. Titania - Fyrinnae

You can see the colors a bit better in these pictures:
