Some BFTE Gel Liner and Eyeshadow swatches

My friend Uncut Color on Facebook just posted that she got a BFTE Cosmetics order today and loved the colors and would be posting swatches soon; this reminded me that I have some unposted swatches too, so I decided to post them. :)

Gel liners, $8.99 from BFTE: Peacock, Venomous, Marcasite.
With flash: Peacock, Venomous, Marcasite.
Direct sunlight.
 I've wanted to try these liners for a long time, so since BFTE was having a 15% off promotion for April, I decided it was the perfect time to get a few. The colors are gorgeous; Peacock is a shimmering teal, such a gorgeous color. Venomous is a completely matte purple with no sparkle or shimmer. Marcasite is a metallic charcoal gray with silver shimmer. Can't wait to use these!

I also got the COTW Deal, the full sized Color of the Week and 3 sample jars of my choice for $6. A great deal :)
Funky Fruit (COTW), Appletini, Riveted, Big Island.
With flash: Funky Fruit, Appletini, Riveted, Big Island.



Direct sunlight.
These were swatched with brushes since there were only 4 colors this time. Funky Fruit is a fruity pink color, like the inside of a watermelon, with pinkish sparkles. Appletini is a pale satin-finish green color; I may actually like it better than Mint but I have yet to compare them together. Riveted is a medium blue, slightly subdued, but looks to me like it has a very slight copperish sheen to it; you can almost see it in the middle of the swatch. Big Island is a very sparkly golden bronze color.

As always, I like everything! BFTE never disappoints♥

Look: Naval Orange

Hello! I'm back today with a look that's actually from over a week ago; Cosmetics Aficionado posted a Blog Hop for orange lips and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to participate. I did this look the next day but haven't had a chance to post it until now. I named it Naval Orange, which is a play on the fruit plus the fact that I used navy eyeliner with orange lips. Get it? ;) Anyway, check below for products used and you can also click the pics to view my makeup in (slightly embarrassing) detail if you so choose.
Products:

Face:
-Reviva Labs Primer
-Wet N' Wild Coverall foundation in 815 Fair
-mark. Powder Buff in Nude
-mark. setting powder
-mark. Bronze Pro bronzer
-Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette (Naked2 as contour)
-Darling Girl Cosmetics blush in Neon Trees (light neon peach)
-BFTE Cosmetics eyeshadow in Butt Naked (highlight)

Eyes:
-Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper
-Naked Basics palette (Walk of Shame all over lid/browbone; Naked2, Faint, Crave on outer corner/crease/lower lashline)
-Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadow in Adoration (nude pearl on browbone)
-Sephora white eyeliner pencil (tearduct/inner corner and waterline)

-MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
-Cover Girl Lash Perfection mascara
-Naked Basics palette (Faint on brows)

Lips:

I wanted a very classic look and opted for navy liner instead of plain black. I thought it would brighten up my eyes even more, and it did! If I'd had a matte navy gel liner or something, I would have used that, but this liner was all I had. I rather like the little bit of shimmer it gives though! This look was so much fun to do and I really lucked out with the natural lighting which made my pictures look as bright as I felt wearing this summery shade! ;)
Don't forget to check out the other posts in the orange lips blog hop, or feel free to add your own!
