Eyeshadows-

L-R: Give Me Liberty of London, Dame's Desire, Birds & Berries

Birds & Berries is a very creamy and pigmented shadow. When swatching them, this one was by far the easiest to apply. It was one swipe and it was on all shimmery and lovely. Cant wait to play around with this on a black or dark base. I think it'll look really nice.

Give Me Liberty of London is a very nice flat, light pink color. On my hand it was really just blending into my skintone for some reason and that scared me... so honestly, I only bought it cause it was the only one with the cute little yellow flower on it. I just used it yesterday as an all over lid color though and it looked lovely! Great to pair with shimmery shades like Birds & Berries.

Dame's Desire is shimmery/satiny lilac color. Nothing really *special* about it at all. But it's nice! Pigmented, easy to apply, all that jazz.

My camera is being repaired right now so I haven't been able to swatch these.

Blush-

Prim & Proper

Prim & Proper is a nice bronze-y blush. I feel that sometimes it can get a little 'dirty' looking on my fair NC25 complexion... I don't know if it's something I'm doing or if you just have to apply it sparingly. Advice on how you'd apply this would be wonderful.

Nail Polish-


Blue India

Blue India is a lot more matte then I thought I'd be. It's a teal, dirty blue, gray color. Not sure if I'm as crazy about this as I thought or would have liked to have been. I think this was maybe a little too over hyped?

Lips-

I'm trying to partake in the "Gloss Out" trend going on in the makeup community. A little like Project 10 Pan, (I think Lolipop26 made up "Gloss Out", too) you can't buy any lipglosses in 2010. 

Some girls are changing the rules up a bit like, "for every 10 I use, I can buy 2" or "I'm only going to buy mini lipglosses that I know I will use up quickly" or "I'm only going to buy LE or really special lipglosses."

I love lip gloss, they might be my favorite out of all cosmetic products- it makes up at least 35-40% of my kit! So I have way too many and would not be able to stand it if they all went to waste, so I'm limiting myself to only buy LE lip glosses and can buy a 'regular' one once 5 are used all the way up.

So I ended up getting 2/4 lipglosses from the Liberty of London Collection, but I wont open or use them until 5 of my others are used up. I just dont want them to go rotten as it does, ironically, take me forever to go through a lipgloss.
