Look: Lioness

 A fierce, lion-like look featuring both Aquarius shades from the BH Cosmetics Zodiac palette.

When planning future Zodiac looks in my mind, I somehow knew I wanted to use the Aquarius shades with burgundy liner and lips; for some reason the shades reminded me of a lion.

Since I knew I wanted burgundy liner but don't own any, I decided to try using liquid lipstick.

I absolutely adore these Aquarius eyeshadows... the crease shade is so pigmented and easy to blend; it also ended up looking very peachy, almost pinky-peach in my crease, which I love! The yellow-gold shade has a green flash which didn't show up in the pics but is visible in person. This shadow is so freaking gorgeous. I'm not a yellow or gold wearer, but I would wear this color on my lids every day, it's that gorgeous. I love how the two shadows looked together, so pretty!

I also love this Ultra Satin lipstick, it's the perfect deep burgundy without looking black, and I love the satin finish. It's also very comfortable and long-wearing. It will stay on your lips, however the color will transfer to anything else that touches them, and is particularly hard to get off skin, so just beware. 

For the most part I like how this look came out, including my "mane" in the first two photos; I'm not a hair person so it's always nice when my hair turns out good haha. As you can see, I did then change my hair a few times as I was taking pictures.
I could have taken this look over the top, but wanted to keep it semi-wearable (even though I wasn't leaving the house, lol). I find for me personally, it's easy to get carried away and then wish I'd kept it simpler. For instance, since my eyes are small and hooded and I don't have much lid space, keeping the main color pretty much restricted to my mobile lids works best; anything more and it can get out of hand... :P

Have you tried these Aquarius shades? What do you think of them?
