Mark. Flip For It Color Kit: Sydney




I want to show you another Mark. Flip For It Color Kit (London) that i purchased from AVON a few months ago. I got it on sale for $8 but they are regular $20 each. Mark. comes out with these kits pretty regularly in different shades, which are usually named after cities.

The kit includes...
2 eyeshadows: Bondi Beach and Nomadic
1 blush: Sunlove Glo
2 Lip Sticks: Sydney Smooch and Adelaide
2 Lip Glosses: Aussie Kiss and Down Under

This compact palette is extremely portable, as you can see from the photos below its just about the size of the palm of my hand. Swatches are below also. Everything is very pigmented and good quality, the eyeshadows are really beautiful and light reflective. I hardley ever use this palette but it would be great to throw in a bag for a night out. I would like to own the rest of the Mark. Flip For It Kits!
Top row: Eyeshadows - Bondi Beach and Nomadic
Bottom row: Blush in Sunlove Glo (peachy pink)

Lip Colors from L to R: Aussie Kiss, Down Under, Sydney Smooch, Adeliade

Question for my followers!!!

I am considering having a blog sale on beauty items I have either never used, or only used 1-2x each. It's not that i dont like the items, but i don't find myself using them so it seems wasteful to just let them sit around. Items will be drugstore and high-end brands alike and VERY CHEAP prices!

PayPal will be required, shipping price will be low and everything will be shipped in bubble-wrap envelopes - not boxes. Purchases over $20 will receive a few free samples.

However, i have never done a blog sale before. Are there any tips and/or suggestions you have for me?? ANY feedback is appreciated.

Thanks - Amista!

EOTD: Too Faced Natural Eye "Classic"



Today i'm re-creating the 'Classic' look from the Too Faced Natural Eye palette, steps and swatches are shown above. The cards in this palette make it incredibly easy to create a fast & easy look on the go or at home. This is definitely my favorite look from the palettes (i pulled this one from my tumblr blog: threelilbears) and i'l be showing you some more very soon!

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #8


This is one of my favorite looks from the Naked palette, and the last I will be posting for a while. Im going to try to start showing you some looks from different palettes as well!!

STEPS:
1. Apply Toasted all over lids.
2. Shade Hustle into outer corners.
3. Use Sin as a highlight.

This is alot more mauve/pink in real life, but this photo makes it seems kinda brown - sorry for that. This look goes best with my skin tone out of all the ones i've created from the Naked palette, and i really like it alot!

E.L.F. Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15






I purchased this conditioning balm from E.L.F. a few weeks ago at Kmart on a whim. I didnt need any new balms, but it was only $3 so i thought what the heck, i'll give it a try!

Unfortunately, I dont like the shade. I wasnt aware it was tinted (i know its pink in the packaging but it should say TINTED or sheer) and it totally does not match my skin tone. The formula itself is good, the balm is very moisturizing and softening and it smells like coconut milk. If i could've got this in a shade that wasnt pink (nude, maybe?) i would love it.

EOTD: UD Naked Palette Look #7


This is one of the lightest and most feminine looks you can create using the Urban Decay Naked palette, in my opinion. It's very light reflective and eye brightening. I wore it on a date night with my husband and i really like this look! I used only 3 shades from the palette, once again a very simple and fast EOTD!

STEPS:
1. Apply Sin all over lids.
2. Shade Toasted into outer corners.
3. Sweep Virgin on brow bone to highlight.

Thats it! So simple, yet very pretty.
