Faces Cosmetics Eyeshadows-Part 5

So my blogging break which was really due to limited net connection or no connection at all and that left me worried with some withdrawal symptoms.  Yet, at the same time, I was so busy that I didn't have time to think about it much.  Now, I am having a hard time getting into the swing of things but eventually I will be back to my old addicted internet self. 

Blogging Break

First of all, I have to thank you for all the positive comments and reactions I received for my mum's EOTD post.  She is thrilled to bits with all the compliments, and yes she really does wear bright colored eyeshadow in public!  She is also thrilled to be on my blog so she might guest comment on some products, this way there is another opinion from a different voice.  And, yes she is going to do an eyeshadow tutorial for Into the Palette blog. 

I am going on break because it is Spring and the weather is so lovely that I can't get enough of it and need to stock up on my vitamin D.  Okay, that isn't true, I wish it were.  Actually, I will have limited internet access for a couple of days due to some remodeling stuff.  Yes, I am having withdrawal symptoms already! :p  See you back in a couple of days. 

By the way, I will still answer any emails and such. 

Sugarpill Cosmetics-An EOTD on a 72 Year Old Woman

When I showed the Sugarpill Cosmetics Burning Heart Palette to my mum, I knew her eyes would fall out of her head.  Not because it was just too wild but because she would actually want the palette for herself.  Thank goodness I bought an extra palette so she wouldn't steal mine!  The palette consists of four colors:  Love+-a cool tone pearly red, Flamepoint-matte tangerine orange, Buttercupcake-bright matte yellow, and Poison Plum-a slightly shimmery purple with small specks of sparkle.  The palette retails for $34USD or shadows can be bought separately at $12.  Yes, the colors are outrageously loud and bright but Spring weather calls for some fun which shouldn't stop with age.

Ah, getting close to the end of my collection of Faces Cosmetics eyeshadows .  This bunch has some nice neutrals that will give that polished eye look without it turning into a color fest.  Of course, these neutrals can be used as a basic eye look and topped off with any of the colors for that easy pop of color to take you from day to night.  Here are the first 10:

Faces Cosmetics Eyeshadows-Part 3

Wow, doing this eyeshadow collection in parts really shows me how obsessed and possessive I am of my tablets of color.  I don't use all of them because some just make me look like a total hoor!  Yes, I am being honest, but the ones I do use work wonderfully for me and my skin tone and the others are just great eye-candy.

Physicians Formula-Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner

I am not one to really try drugstore stuff just because I have been disappointed by many things and have wasted enough money on mediocre performing drugstore makeup which would have gotten me good promising performing high end or pro stuff.  However, I cannot complain about Physicians Formula new gel liners.  The stuff has opened my eyes to drugstore accessible gel liners! 

Faces Cosmetics Eyeshadows-Part 2

This is my second installment of my Faces Cosmetics eyeshadows.  Again they are numbered and show no particular order in value of color, just a mix of colors that are either useful and wearable for everyday or artistically useful. 

My EOTD Post

Have I ever done one of these?  Or maybe in a parallel universe I did many of these and forgot to post them here.  Anyway, here is my EOTD (eye of the day) post.  Yes, it is subtle and for two reasons.  1-I was going to Whole Foods and I swear I feel like a drag queen at mine because I am the only one who wears a full face of makeup there.  2-As I get closer to middle age, I realize that my wild punk and rocker days of my youth are evolving into an inner beauty that refuses to be masked by my millions of collection of colors.  Yes, I have fought with myself when it comes to applying red eyeshadow and other colors, I can't apply them like a parrot and do the latest swirly colors on my eyes.  But, I still like color and have compromised my application to suit my personality.  Inner self is pleased with my outer self. :-)

Dear Tricia Sawyer Beauty-I finished one of your products!

This might not be a big deal but for me it is because I have a hard time using the same product for a long period of time.  What is the product?  It is Tricia Sawyer Beauty called Alive!  This is the little blurb of it:

 A moisturizer/enhancer infused with botanical oils to give skin back the look and feel of being alive!

Faces Cosmetics Eyeshadows-Part 1

As I go through my stash of colors, I came across a box that I had for awhile and completely forgot due to winter cleaning, then spring cleaning.  I must have been so occupied with arranging and rearranging that I forgot about makeup!  Not an easy feat but somehow forgetfulness did occur.  It was, however, surprising to find a box full of eyeshadows.  Some that look (the colors) like they would transport me back to the 1960's.

Coo Coo

I guess this is one of my random musing posts.  Yeah, I got a twitter account (@MaquiObscura).  I poo-pooed Twitter but then realized my attention span is the same as twitter.  Pretty sad or my brain cells are dying due to age or boredom.  Which leads me to my blogs.
