What a productive week for make up experimenting! I got lots of swatching done and made a real effort to try more creative and colourful looks every day, except Tuesday, when we went to Playcentre and I was rushing out the door. Playcentre was really good, it was Noel's first visiting session at the local one and we've decided to sign him up, so he'll be officially starting this coming week!
Anyway, onto the make up :D
Monday
I really, really loved this eye make up. I was dying to use the aqua shade in my new Wet n Wild Going in the Wild palette, but when I started applying it went on super sheer and blended out to nothing! I was super disappointed, until I remembered Pixie Epoxy and thought I'd give that a go to see if it helped at all. Did it ever! The Pixie Epoxy really brought this shadow to life. I'm going to try it with some of my other disappointingly sheer shadows!

Tuesday
The aforementioned rushed playcentre make up - I felt very bleh about this. The light purple (which you can barely tell is purple!) is a disappointingly sheer shade from the Wet n Wild Going in the Wild palette too, I'll have to try the Epoxy with it.

Wednesday
Another look I really enjoyed wearing! I find using a cool toned brown like Revlon Polished Bronze in the crease lets me wear warmer browns and bronzes on the lid without making me look puffy eyed.

Thursday
I'm really enjoying this bright lid/neutral crease thing. It's a great way to incoporate brights into everyday make up. This Mimididi shadow was super sparkly in real life, I'll be posting swatches and a review of this one later today.

I loved this one too! I don't usually wear purple shadow as purples don't love my skintone, but they do flatter my eyes! I repeated the neutral crease colour to kep it wearable. I love how the blended out shimmer in Fyrinnae Herbivore, which I used on the lid, glows over the crease shade.
