Forest Fairy aka Not Giving up on Greens

I’ve been using a lot of Chi Chi eyeshadows lately and I don’t know why I never use to use them enough. Today’s look is a fun look, so not something I would wear out like normal.


This is my 3rd false eyelashes look!!

I’m not a regular false eyelashes wearer, but occasionally I would feel like wearing a pair to give myself even bigger eyes. I can’t wear eyelashes with glasses thus the reason I don’t frequently wear them since I’m wearing glasses most the time.

Completed look

Products used:


Chi Chi Super Stack (Eyeshadows)

Jesse’s Girl Eyeshadow Primer (Testing process)

Prestige Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner – 01 Black

Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara – 003 Ultra Black (Testing process)

NYX Candy Glitter Liner – 13 Jade

DUO Eyelash Adhesive Waterproof – Clear/white

Anmas Rucci Eyelashes (from Tamanala on Ebay)

Products used

#1 First half of eye lids
#2 second half of eyelids
#3 Crease line and a bit above
#4 Lower lash line

#5 Outer corners of eyes
#6 Brow bone Highlight

I actually like this green look better than the previous ones that I have done and I think that if I lose the glitter liner, false eyelashes and have thinner black eyeliner it can be wearable. 

Close up of eye with false eyelashes, need some more work on the eyeliner :p

With flash, excuse my super oily skin!

I like this photo!

With flash

Wasn't impressed with NYX candy glitter liner, the glitter came off and got onto my eyelids :( I think i prefer Chi Chi glitter liners, but I didn't have one in green

 

 

I had in mind what a forest fairy might look like and this is what I ended up coming with. I had fun doing this look and it could be used as a simple Halloween look too.

Do you like my etods with falsies in them?

Should I continue to do more from time to time?

I’ve worn falsies for a while now, but I rarely show them on my blog.

Recent EOTDs featuring Chi Chi and Suki

Dropping in to share two recent looks that I had taken photos for. Both very simple and something I wore to work that isn’t too over powering or dramatic.


The first one is from using my Chi Chi Blockbuster Mineral pack that I had gotten a long time ago and never really used. The eyeshadows in there are of great quality and I have no idea why I don’t use them. Perhaps it is bulky so I don’t reach for it since it’s kind of big and takes up space.

I did the combination of colours on a card first before going ahead to actually applying it on my eyes.

The look turned out alright and I quite like it, because it still has some colour to it compared to the usual neutral colours I normally wear.

Finished look

Products used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Chi Chi Real Minerals Blockbuster (Limited Edition pack) – Eye Palette

Coastal Scents Gel Liner – True Black

Australis Stay Put Long Lasting Retractable Eyeliner – Atlantic

Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara – 003 Ultra Black

#1 All over the eye lids
#2Crease line
#3Outer corners of eyes

Not shown, but other products I used that day for this Eotd:

CoverGirl Aqua CG Smoothers (Testing process) – Tinted Moisturiser 810 Light to Medium

CoverGirl Professional Loose Powder – 115 Translucent Medium



Here are more photos to share…

The second look is more of a colour look but not too heavy that I can’t wear to work.  I just used one of my Suki palette that I bought in Hong Kong from Sasa during my March/April vacation this year.  Something I rarely reach for since I have them tucked away in a drawer.

Products used:

Suki Eye/blush Palette code No: 5388 (no name of the actual palette and words are in Japanese)

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara – 003 Ultra Black

Finished look without eyeliner

I didn’t use eyeliner for this simple look and these colours can easily be substituted from other eyeshadows.
