As we're approaching the end of the year I'm feeling bolder and prone to beauty experimentation – first there were pink nails and now I've prepared a pinkish eye look you probably could get away with even during time (minus the eyeliner). I wanted to show you a great eye shadow duo which, I believe, all those fans of the UD Naked 3 palette will want to check out. Revelique Cosmetics Baked Eye Shadow in Candy Shop (20) looks like something I'd never try but it actually looks very different swatched and even more so worn than it does in its packaging. As for the packaging, it's extremely minimal and therefore travel-friendly. However, since this is a shade I usually don't wear every day I am contemplating getting a Z palette so I can mush all my small(ish) eye shadow pots in just one place. What I do like about this little one is that all the ingredients are listed on the back label. Aptly named ‘Candy Shop’ this little beauty morcel seems to be something Barbie dreams are made of – completely sugary sweet but – the pink shade is quite interesting and reminds me of a famous blush. Candy Shop houses two shades out of which you have a base (all eyelid) shade in the form of a peachy/pink hue with golden shimmer – extremely reminiscent of Nars Orgasm blush, right? It looks amazing when worn alone and is excellent for layering to achieve different looks.
Kako se priblizavamo kraju godine sve vise sam sklona eksperimentiranju sa bojama – prvo sam se okusala sa ruzicastim manikirom a sada sam pripremila make-up za oci u ruzicastim tonovima sa kojim vjerujem da se mozemo izvuci i tokom dana (samo bez ajlajnera). Zeljela sam demonstrirati kako djeluje jedan duo sjena za oci za koji mislim da bi bile narocito zainteresovane ljubiteljice paleta poput UD Naked 3. Revelique Cosmetics pecena sjena za oci u nijansi Candy Shop (20) je, iskreno govoreci, nesto sto me nikako ne bi privuklo na prvi pogled i rekla bih kako to ‘nisu moje boje’. Ali ove sjene izgledaju drugacije na swatchu a posebno na ocima nego u pakovanju. Sto se samog pakovanja tice, izuzetno je jednostavno i bez viska materijala a samim time i prakticno za putovanja. Posto ove nijanse ipak ne nosim na svakodnevnoj bazi, planirala sam nabaviti Z paletu i depotirati sve mono i duo sjene kako bih ih imala na jednom mjestu. Ono sto mi se kod ovog pakovanja dopalo jeste sto su svi sastojci navedeni na poledjini. Prigodno nazvan ‘Candy Shop’, ovaj dvojac sjena je beauty komadic od kojeg su Barbie snovi satkani ali – ruzicasta nijansa je jako interesantna i podsjeca me na proslavljeno rumenilo za koje svi sigurno znate. Candy Shop sadrzi dvije sjene od koje je jedna namijenjena nanosenju preko cijelog kapka i ovdje je to breskvasto/ruzicasta nijansa sa zlatnim shimmerom koji neodoljivo podsjeca na Nars Orgasm rumenilo, zar ne? Odlicno izgleda kada je nanesena preko cijelog kapka kao baza i odlicno sluzi za slojevito nanosenje ostalih sjena u sklopu kompleksnije sminke.
The second (highlight) shade is an unusual choice – a light, very pale lilac. These two are an odd pair but they work surprisingly well together. Pigmentation is amazing, there is no fallout, colors are vivid and their longevity is great – especially if you use an eye shadow base underneath which guarrantees an entire day of wear. I've created a look which evolved from this duo as a base. I've applied the pinky shade all over the lid, Contoured the crease with ‘Nooner’ from UD Naked 3 and contoured it again with ‘Marry in Monte Carlo’ from the Sleek Vintage Romance palette. Then I've gone along the lower lash line and the outer V with ‘Honeymoon in Hollywood’ from the same Sleek palette. I've used the pale lilac shade from ‘Candy Shop’ under my brow and in the inner corners of my eyes. Rouge Bunny Rouge Devotion Ink eyeliner in Amethyst Essence lined the entire lower lash line while the L'Oreal So Couture Super Liner was used to draw the thick Oriental-ish line and a flick. Flormar Ultra Purple Eye Liner was used on the waterline, Bourjois Sourcil Precision pencil in Brunette to fill my brows and I finished everything off with a lick of the L'Oreal So Couture Million Lashes mascara. Hopefully I've created a sweet pinkish/purple look that's sweet in a grown-up kinda way.
Druga nijansa koja sluzi za posvjetljavanje oka je dosta neobican izbor uz prethodnu sjenu – radi se o jako svijetloj lila boji. Prilicno neobicno uklopljene boje za koje nikada ne bih rekla da se upotpunjuju ali mislim da djeluju iznenadjujuce lijepo zajedno. Pigmentacija je izvrsna, nema rasipanja sjene, boje su zive i trajnost je odlicna – posebno ako koristite bazu za sjenu koja ce produziti trajanje ovih sjena na cijeli dan. Revelique kozmetika je dostupna u BiH (odabrani cm-ovi), Austriji i Bjelorusiji (a kako cujem, uskoro i u Bugarskoj) dok pecena sjena kosta 8,60KM. Za look koji vidite sam nanijela breskvasto/ruzicastu nijansu preko cijelog kapka i konturisala sam pregib oka sa nijansom ‘Nooner’ iz UD Naked 3 palete. Potom sam ponovo presla preko pregiba oka sa ‘Marry in Monte Carlo’ sjenom iz Sleek Vintage Romance palete. Iz iste palete sam uzela nijansu “Honeymoon in Hollywood’ i obrubila donju liniju trepavica i vanjski V oblik kapka. Iz Candy Shop dua sam svijetlom lila nijansom posvijetlila unutarnji kut oka i podrucje ispod obrve. Presla sam sa Rouge Bunny Rouge Devotion Ink ajlajnerom u nijansi Amethyst Essence duz cijele linije donjih trepavica a gornje trepke sam obrubila debelom linijom crnog L'Oreal So Couture Super Liner tusa za oci u pomalo orijentalnom obliku. Flormar Ultra Purple olovka je u waterline-u, Bourjois Sourcil Precision olovka u nijansi Brunette je popunila obrve dok je look zavrsen sa L'Oreal So Couture Million Lashes maskarom. Nadam se da sam kreirala sladak look sa ruzicastim nijansama ali za odrasle.
