Love at First Swatch: Heavenly Naturals

After much procrastination, I finally ordered some shadows from Heavenly Naturals! I've seen plenty of looks done with them by QueenBMakeup, and have heard plenty of praises sung by the Fexies and a few other people I am subbed to on youtube. I asked for recommendations on Twitter (what would we do without it lol) and got a lot of great suggestions... too many actually. I was looking at swatches, videos, tutorials, blog posts, FOTD's... everything & every suggestion made me want to buy it all. But of course... being one of limited fundage, I can't really do that. LOL it would take the fun out of ordering makeup anyway if I could, but that's another story for another day...

I decided on the Peacock Collection, added it to my cart, hit pay now with paypal and typed in my addy before I could go back and change my mind. It took about a week and a half to arrive, which I thought would be sooner, but I'm not trippin. The owner is having a little baby girl and I've never really been one to get my panties bunched for what others may consider slow shipping. (Except for that one time... -_-) Again, another story... yadda yadda.

Enough jibber jabber... ON TO THE SWATCHES!!

*My digital camera is no longer in my possession so until it is replaced, all swatches, fotd's and such will be taken with my HTC Hero camera.*

Super Late Super Bowl

Yeah yeah, I know the Super Bowl was a hella long time ago!!

LOL I was having technical difficulties then.

I did looks for both teams. I am NOT a Colts fan, but Karma's father is, and I was inspired by the blue. This look I actually did the last game that the Colts played b4 the Superbowl, against the Jets. I already knew that if the Saints won their game I'd be rockin Black & Gold Super Bowl Sunday, so the Colts look was done ahead of time LOL





I used my Coastal Scents palette for this one. It was so neglected sitting in my makeup drawer. I felt like giving it some love <3

Now for the Saints look:







For the *ahem* winning look (LMAO) I used MAC Golden Lemon Pigment & Carbon and highlighted with the silver from my Coastal Scents palette.

I'm happy the Saints won. I'm not a Saints fan... but I love Reggie Bush <3 Hahahaha!

Till next time!
Stay GLAM
