Look: Lotus Flower with Darling Girl Cosmetics

 Here's a Darling Girl look for ya; I was swatching colors the other night and loved how Scarab and Stargazer looked together so I wanted to use them in a look. I also used some new eyeliner pens I just received; they're part of Laura Geller's brand new Spring eye collection which I was sent through the Preen.me website. I like them so far; I will probably do a little review post soon.

Scarab is such a pretty color, especially over glitter glue, and it looks so much better in person. I wish the pictures had turned out better but I do like the look. I like the tiny sharp wing I was able to create with the eyeliner pens.
I was trying to think of a name for this look when I suddenly remembered a song I used to love called Lotus Flower by Evelyn Hope, an indie band from New Jersey. I loved their music and thought the colors of this look totally fit with a lotus theme. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it :)

Thanks for reading♥
