Swatches & review: e.l.f. Custom Eyes in Ivory, Golden Glow, Driftwood and Dusk

Hi!

Today I have  e.l.f. Custom Eyes eye shadows in Ivory, Golden Glow, Driftwood and  Dusk swatches and short review for you. I have been playing around with these about a week (you can see one look with these HERE) and so why not show you the swatches and share my opinion about these.

Swatches

As always first swatch is on bare skin and the second one is swatches over primer (e.l.f Mineral Eyeshadow Primer)

So these eye shadows do look pretty in the pan. I was somewhat disappointed after swatching these (especially in shade Ivory) because I expected these eye shadows to be more pigmented, but oh well I won´t complain, because since I bought them when they were on sale (£0.45 / €0.55 each) then these were CHEAP and so I regret that I didn´t purchase all the other shades too. But I would not pay full price for these.

What I like about these eye shadows is that they look great for everyday look and they stay on very pretty all day without creasing or fading. During application there is some fallout (especially shade Golden Glow) and so again I advise using an extra layer of powder under eyes that you can  just brush off when you have finished.

And here is one look  with these eye shadows (shades Ivory, Golden Glow and Dusk)

What I used:
e.l.f. Eyebrow Kit in Ash
e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow Primer
e.l.f. Custom Eyes eye shadow in Ivory in inner corner and browbone
e.l.f. Custom Eyes in Golden Glow all over lid
e.l.f. Custom Eyes Dusk in crease and outer corner
Physicians Formula Eye Definer Felt-Tip Eye Marker in Ultra Black
Oriflame Girodani Gold Supreme Length  Mascara
Mineral Powder in Ivory from Candy Minerals
Mineral Blush in Nude Pink from Candy Minerals
e.l.f. Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Mellow Melon

NOTD: perfect idea.... but not so perfect result

Hi!

Today I have manicure post for you. I used Wild&Mild Matte City of Lights and  Wild&Mild Pink Mania for my nails this time. 

I first applied two coats of white nail polish and then added two coats of pink and then I used some nail polish remover and removed some pink from my nails. And here is the result... not that pretty as I imagined .....so yeah I should have done classic sponging :P

Alas, many of the deodorants have powerful chemicals that can cause irritation and rashes. Even if you’re not normally sensitive, over-use of a strong, chemical deodorant, can cause issues.
