I had bought Benefit's Creaseless Creame Shadow/Liner quite a while back but never got around to using it. I bought it as an alternative to a MAC Paint Pot, and I think I prefer Benefit better. I got in in the color Get Figgy, which is a nice light plum/purple shade and is great to use under purple eyeshadows.
So today was a purple day for me also.


I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance on my entire lid as a base. And then I used Benefit's Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Get Figgy on my lid. I used this to make the shape for the eyeshadows. On the inner corner I used MAC Shore Leave, in the middle I used MAC Illegal Cargo (both from the Naughty Nauticals Collection), and on the outer V and into the crease I used MAC Blackberry. As a highlight I used Bare Minerals eyeshadow in Soul. I used Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in Black Mauve Shimmer Ink and Cover Girl Fantastic Lash Mascara in black.
On my cheeks I used MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty. On my lips I used MAC Sequin lipstick and MAC Get Rich Quick dazzleglass.
I recently got Sequin from some Back 2 MACs. I'm not quite sure if I like it yet.
My mom bought the Blackberry eyeshadow form MAC quite a while back and she ended up not liking it, and gave it to me. Its a matte eyeshadow and I'm not into matte anything, but I do use it. Just not a lot.
And I used to use Cover Girl Fantastic Lash mascara all the time and had no problems with it at all. I loved it! So I picked it up last time I was at the store, thinking I would just love it like I used to. FALSE! It flaked in my eyes while I was at work, and I had to take out my contacts and clean them because there was mascara flakes all in my eyes! Ugh, dontcha just hate that!
Anyway, on a better note. I'm going get my hair highlighted and cut tomorrow! See ya!
This look is really pretty - it looks almost smoky on you! Booooo to the new mascara flaking!
