I'm back with that less-practical eye look I mentioned last time, yay! It started as a vision in my head and this is what I ended up with. In my head, the look was much more pastel; I'd pictured the colors being paler, and the orange was more peachy. I still like how it turned out though, not too bad for this slightly rusty blogger. :)

I'm unused to working with matte eyeshadows these days, since I tend to use mostly shimmery loose minerals and such. I wanted to get some use out of the many palettes I have and do something different for a change. I'm glad I got to use the Lime Crime palette; I haven't used it much since I received it. I never did an official review but maybe I should. I really do like it; I don't own many pastel-y shadows and the colors are nice to work with. You can see in the photos that the lilac purple is quite pigmented.
I wish I'd done the placement a bit differently, I didn't really plan it out much before I did it. I would have included a little more purple, but I still like it. The orange looked slightly more peachy, not so fiery in person; in the pics it looks like Flamepoint, the pressed orange from Sugarpill which I adore. It's still pretty :) I love how the bottom turned out, you can see the gold blending with the pink under the lashline, and also the blue flash in the magenta color. I got a little better at picture-taking for this look, I was so out-of-practice before. :P
Thanks for reading!♥
