My Birthday Makeup- Purples with Wet 'n' Wild

I just want to thank all of you so much for the kind birthday wishes again!  You're incredibly sweet and reading them has made my day even better.  It was pretty low-key, nothing too eventful, but for dinner 15 of my friends and I went out to dinner- definitely the most fun thing I did!  They're all people from my floor, so it was overall just a great time.
I also really appreciate all the ideas you guys had for me on how to do my makeup.  I loved the idea of doing something retro-inspired, but I don't know, I really fail at applying liquid/gel liner and I wanted to do something I could easily pull off.  So I went with a look I've actually done before, using my Wet 'n' Wild palette in Lust (You can see my original look using it HERE).




It was pretty dark especially for something I was planning to wear during the day as well as evening, but I think it worked out fine.

What I used:
- VS Pro eyeshadow primer
- Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadow palette in Lust (I did the same application as I did in the original post I featured this in, link above)
- L'Oreal Bare Naturale mascara, L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen mascara on top

It's awesome that a 6-color eyeshadow palette can serve as your entire look!  I first applied the light matte pink as my all over color, then the shimmery cream as my highlight.  Then I applied the dark shimmery purple/gray in my outer crease.  Over that I applied the medium matte purple and blended it onto my lid. On top of those two, I lightly dusted the shimmery gray to add some sparkle.  With the dark matte purple I lined my upper and lower lash lines.  Finally, I went in my inner corners and applied the shimmery cream color, and then dusted the light matte pink over the entire eyelid to lighten up the colors a bit.


I have a small haul post coming soon.  :)  I went to ULTA today and saw that they have a TON of clearance/sale items- I purchased one thing, but I'm going back tomorrow with my $3.50/$10.00 coupon so I can buy more!  

Have a good night everyone.  <3
