BFTE Haul+EOTD "Desert"

Latest BFTE haul! I ordered the brand new Liquid Luster, a foiling agent kind of like Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy which I also got recently. I'd like to do a comparison review soon!
(With flash) Top: Guipure from the Denim and Lace collection. Bottom: Patriot, 7 Seas, and Truffle.
(Natural light)
As always, swatched on bare skin prepped with just a little Pond's cream, in direct sunlight through the window! I think these swatches turned out perfect, this is how the colors really look :)
Perfect bright turquoise green, totally matte. It looks a bit sheer in this pic, probably because I didn't use enough for the swatch. I think it is a little on the sheerer side, though.
GORGEOUS deep matte blue, sooo pretty. I can't wait to use this as eyeliner to make my brown eyes pop! I chose this as my free full-size for my second 365 Days of BFTE prize. :D (I was chosen for 365 with my green look, see it here!)
This was the COTW, I voted for it and I'm so glad it won! I really needed a warm medium matte brown, and this is perfect.
Someone else on the Facebook page said they'd gotten Guipure as their free sample baggie and I was really hoping I would too! It's a beautiful bright creamy yellow gold shade, quite shimmery and striking. It's from the Denim and Lace collection so it's not available for individual purchase right now. *Edit-4-4-11* As of a few days ago, this color is now available for individual purchase on bftecosmetics.com! Yay :)
This is the look I did to try out all my new colors; click to enlarge for more detail!
Products I used:

-UDPP
-NYX JEP in Milk (very light layer just on lid)
-BFTE 7 Seas (lid)
-BFTE Sweet Nibblets (lid, inner third)
-BFTE Truffle (crease)
-BFTE Patriot (outer v, outer lower lashline)
-BFTE $10 Pineapple (inner corner; I meant to use Guipure but I accidentally mixed up my samples and didn't realize until days later.. oops!)
-BFTE Very Vanilla (browbone)
-Wet N Wild pencil in Deep Blue (outer lower lashline, under Patriot)
-Almay brown liquid liner (upper lashline)
-Maybelline Colossal washable mascara in Classic Black

I used what was leftover on my brow brush to fill my brow, I guess it was a mixture of mark. Java pencil and Espresso shadow.
Loose mattes are still a bit tricky for me but they're so lovely I really wanna get the hang of it lol. I have another order on it's way so watch for another post soon! ;)
