As I'm sure many of you know, I love golds and browns. Although I do like to play in color, working with browns and golds is so easy for me to do, so I just love to play around with different colors and techniques when I have the chance.
I decided to do more of a smokey antique gold look with the following colors:
The She Space "Fire and Brimstone" - inner corner
Jesse's Girl Eye Dusts "Cactus" - outer corner
Bare Escentuals Glimmer "Sex Kitten" - crease
Bare Escentuals Glimmer "White Gold" - highlight
Taylor Made Minerals "Fiji Beach" - under eye liner
Fyrinnae Liquid Eyeliner "Lovers Quarrel" - upper liner
Rimmel GlamEyes Mascara "Extreme Black"
For some reason, all these random colors worked well together and made a natural but beautiful look. The liquid eyeliner managed to take on several colors, including lavender, silver, gold and bronze. I absolutely love it!
I think one of my favorite colors to use is purple (second only to using green eyeshadows), so when I pulled my lavender sweater out of my closet, I was pretty excited to play with some of my new shadows from some recent shopping sprees.
Below are the shadows I used:

I decided to play around with my She Space Minerals the other night, so below is an EOTD with a few of the colors I picked up.
Specifically, I fell immediately in love with Lucifer's Chariot, which was a real pretty pink/reddish/maroon color. I decided to use this with my NYX Ultra Pearl Pigment in Pearl Lime.
Loreal HIP paint - base
NYX Ultra Pearl Pigment "Pearl Lime" - inner corner, lower lashline
The She Space "Lucifer's Chariot" - outer corner, lower lashline, crease
MAC Pigment "Vanilla" - high light
The She Space "Bubble and Burn" - wet as liner
Diorshow Blackout Mascara
The colors lasted, great pigmentation and I just loved how well the She Space minerals blended together. A definite must for you mineral lovers!
I checked my mail today and the makeup fairy brought me my makeup from The She Space today. I am so excited because I got some colors I don't really have in my collection. I bought 4 of them to act as liners or dark colors (when needed) and the other three to be some new splashes of color for the summer.
The colors I ordred are:
Bubble and Burn - dark black/brown with gold flecks
Lucky Charm - dark black/brown with purple flecks
Asylum - dark black/brown with green flecks
Stolen Soul - dark black/brown with blue flecks
High Drama - bright lavendar purple with magenta undertowns (high frost)
Lucifer's Chariot - pale red with frosted magent and red pearl
Fire and Brimstone - bright gold with yellow undertowns
Top Row: Bubble and Burn, Lucky Charm, Asylum, Stolen Soul
Bottom Row: High Drama, Lucifer's Chariot, Fire and Brimstone
