Pokemon Series: Vileplume

Here is my third Pokemon inspired look. This time I wanted to recreate a Vileplume look. When I was younger, I loved Vileplume. I though it was so cute! I still do of course. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, so I didn't take pictures of the process. But I hope you guys like it :)

I have done Espeon, Umbreon, and now Vileplume.

Products Used

EYES

-ELF Eyelid Primer

-MAC Goldmine, Chrome Yellow, and Passionate pressed eyeshadows

-Wet n Wild white pencil eyeliner

-Coastal Scents 88 palette (a dark blue and purple for the lower lash line)

-Dolly Wink liquid and pencil liner

-Artistry mascara

-KKCenterhk ES A655 Lashes

-Lime Crime Nymph

FACE and LIPS

-Lioele Triple the Solution BB Cream

-NARS Sin Blush

-MAC Flaunt It Kissable Lip Color

This was pretty easy. I mixed Chrome Yellow and Goldmine to get the color on my lid. I then used an angled brush to apply Passionate on the crease in a cut-crease style. Then I used a fluffy brush to blend passionate up higher. Once I  was content to how the reddish pink color looked, I took a white liner and made little ovals on the red. I Applied a blue/purple color on the lower lash line as well as black on the waterline. Then I completed the look by adding liquid liner, mascara, and lashes.

 Here I added Lime Crime's Nyphm over the white spots to add a gold sheen to them.

 On the picture on the left I looked very confused...LOL!

 I actually really liked how it looks. Although I would not wear this unless I was going somewhere where heavier makeup would be okay....like a makeup event or Pokemon convention of some sort. Definitely not an everyday wear kind of look ;)

Review+EOTD: Meilasu Purplish Red Creme Eyeshadow Provided by KKCenterhk

Hello!~ Another product that was sent to me by KKCenterhk was this creme shadow by the brand Meilasu. I have never heard of this brand, so I was very excited to try a new brand out. I chose this color because it reminded me a lot of Illamasqua's lipstick in 'Underwold', which is a pink/purple with a strong blue duo-chrome.

Here is the look I created with this eyeshadow:

But more on the EOTD after the review...


Price and Availability
5.8g for $2.80 on the KKCenterhk website. For the price, it is a great deal!
*I received this product to review.

Packaging

The packaging is pretty, and very simple. It comes in a clear jar, that is small and has a good amount of weight to it. The lid is screw on, which I personally find annoying. Sometimes, the cap won't screw on right and its a hassle. But I guess I am just weird like that. The smallness of the jar makes it very easy to store though.

Product Review
The texture of this is kind of odd. I was expecting a creme eyeshadow, but this has a slight mousse texture. It feels very smooth and silky, almost like a primer. But be very careful of using this. Because of the formula, I recommend setting this with another eyeshadow or just a translucent powder to make sure it won't crease.

The color was something that also surprised me. I was expecting something much more purple, but it is actually a lot more pink than purple. The blue duo chrome is there, so I was very content with the color. I also find that this color is very close to my Coastal Scents 'Chameleon Violet' Mica, so they go perfect together. Also, when swatched, it had some very fine silver glitter. Its very subtle, but I like it a lot :)


Swatches

The shadow feels very "airy" and "mousee-y" on my fingertip

Swatched alone. Can you see the silver shimmers?

Can you see how the Coastal Scents 'Chameleon Violet' Mica intensifies the color? It also sets the creme shadow~


EOTD

Products Used:

~ELF Eyelid Primer
~Pixie Epoxy
~MAC 'She Who Dares' eyeshadow [the green side]
~Meilasu creme shadow
~Coastal Scents 'Chameleon Violet' Mica
~Dolly Wink liquid liner
~Maybelline the Falsies mascara

How to Achieve this Look:
1. Apply your primer
2. Apply 'She Who Dares' or any green shade on the lid, crease, and on the  lower lash line (except for inner corners of the lower lash line)
3.Apply the Meilasu creme shadow past the crease in a defined line (Don't blend it too much)
4. Apply the Meilasu creme shadow on the inner corners and slightly on the lower lash line
5. Apply the CS Mica to set the Meilasu creme shadow
6. Draw a thin line on your upper lash line using liquid liner
7. Mascara

DONE~ ♥

Verdict:
I really love this color, specially because it goes so well with my CS Mica. I wish the formula was a little better, because it feels like it creases really easy. I will still use it though :D I think next time I will apply the Pixie Epoxy on the areas I apply the Meilasu creme shadow. I think that will help.
Thank you so much for reading ;)

Review and EOTD: Illasmasqua 'Resolute' Liquid Metal

Hello :)
I have had this Illamasqua product for a couple of months now, and I am still playing around to see what I can do with it. I bought it during a phase when I was obsessed with cranberry and rust colors.

PROS:
~Super pigmented
~Lovely colors
~Multi-purpose
~Great as a base color
~Smells like vanilla and marshmallows
CONS:
~Price
~Creases like there is no tomorrow.

Price: 
Illamasqua is an expensive brand. This is $26 for a 0.05 oz amount. That seems kind of ridiculous, but I assure you that this product will last you a really long time. And, it is multi purpose, so you can use it for many things.
I purchased this at Sephora, and I had a 20% coupon ;)

Product Review:
 'Resolute' is a rusty,matallic cranberry color. It does have a slight burgundy look, but it is far more red than purple.Let me start with the negative things of this product. Its expensive at $26 [for me anyways]. You have to use a good primer underneath or it will start creasing within minutes.
But if you can over the price and use a good primer, then this is a really good product. You can use it alone, or use a powder eyeshadow or pigment on top of this. I recommend putting some from of powder eye shadow on top to set it and make it last longer. This has the most unique smell. My friend has a weird habit of smelling all her cosmetics, and she pointed out to me that it had a marshmallow smell, and it certainly does! I personally love the smell. The texture is very smooth, it is super easy to apply. It is very moist, more so than other cream eyeshadows. I consider this to be the exact opposite in texture to a MAC paint pot. Paint pots are very dry and slightly thick, where this is very moist and smooth. The fact that it is very moist might be the reason to why it creases so easily.

Swatches:

No Flash

Flash. Here you can see that it is very moist looking

On my eye lid. Ah, I'm not wearing mascara or eyeliner D:

EOTD:

No Flash.

Products I Used:
~UD Primer Potion
~Illamasqua 'Resolute' on the lid, as a base and along the lower lash line.
~Coastal Scents 'Blue-Red Chrome' Pigment
~R&R 'Vintage' on the crease [a matte light brown]
~L'oreal Lineur Intense liner
~CG Lash Blast Fusion

I love the combo of 'Resolute' and the CS pigment. What do you think?

Review: Coastal Scents 'Blue-Red Chrome' Mica

Coastal Scents offers a variety of different mica powders and glitter. The best part is that the samples are only $1. A sample will last you a very long time. I have used my sample dozens of times, and I still have more than half left. I have a couple of other micas that I purchased, but those will be for a different time. If you are curious about these micas, check out the Coastal Scents website.
This is a review for the Blue-Red Chrome Mica.

Price

Like I mentioned above, the sample was only $1. The website says that the sample is one teaspoon, but I think it was much more than that. 1 oz of mica is $4.95. Don't be fooled by the price. 1 oz in powder is A LOT! If you order a 1 oz mica, you are going to get a huge jar of product. The cool thing about micas, is that you can mix them with other micas to create new colors. So these are very versatile. The mica itself is very finely milled, very smooth, and easy to apply. The only negative thing is that this color has a lot of fallout. Since it's blue, it is a little bit harder to clean off the fallout from the under eye area, so be careful.

Swatches [Click on image to enlarge]

Notice that it is a blue mica with a red duochrome. The red comes out in the sunlight. 

Tip

~If you have this, or want to get this and you want a different way of using this, try putting a red or blue cream base under it. I personally love using a blue cream shadow under this. It makes the red duochrome pop out really nice.
