Champagne Glitter Eyeshadow Tutorial (Meant for New Years)

What better way to start off your new year than getting all dolled up? Hey guise its Makeup Tutorial Friday's and I'm bringing you my new years look. It feels like me sticking to my resolutions are off to a good start (#1 post regular content), which is more than exciting for me. This look was inspired by my love for two gorgeous products that I knew would mesh heavenly together: Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow in Kitten (Sephora, Ulta) and the Riri Loves MAC Pro Longwear Lip Liner in Talk That Talk (limited edition, but a warm dark purple will do).

The warm champagne color of Kitten and the deep berry shade of Talk That Talk pair beautifully, and were the instant focus of the look. I hope you enjoy and please try.

You've Stolen My Heart Esperanza

KAT VON D Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette

Ok, to state the obvious I am a beauty junkie. That's been clearly established for some time now. Now to my point when this palette hit the shelves today:

I quintessentially lost my mind. This is the latest Kat Von D Palette for Spring 2014 and its described as:

"A fresh palette of eight long-wear, full coverage shadows that deliver matte, pearl, and high-glitter finishes, plus one transformative color veil. "

This palette was made for me. I love the soft Spring shades, I love the glitter, and sugar skull that adorns the palette is too beautiful. Beautiful and morbid? Yeah that's me all day.

My fingers could not leap to the checkout faster. In this moment I imagine my fingers in the make up check out Olympics. They're hurdling over the free Sephora samples to make it to the submit my order button where, covered in victorious sweat, push past the submit my order button and would be greeted with a bouquet and a confirmation notice.

Strange way to think of it? I agree, but this palette appears to be so worth it. Kat Von D's eyeshadow formulas for the most part are buttery, pigmented and so easy to blend. This palette comes with 8 shades:

 Selena (glitter purple)

 Dayglo (transformer shade, iridescent white)

Galore (pearl peach)

Placebo (matte peony pink)

Santeria (glitter greenish grey)

Archangel (sparkle seafoam green)

South (matte beige)

Dog Roses (sparkle bronze) 

Another interesting fact about the palette is that the shadows are supposedly infused with rose extract to moisturize the delicate eyelid area. Pretty shmancy stuff.

Well my fellow make up otakus I can't wait for this to come in the mail so I can give you my first hand experience and photos.
