AVON EYESHADOW QUAD REVIEW
i was... pretty much terribly disappointed. i tried on the "blushing raisins" today and it just did NOT show up! the only color that did show up was the one on the end.. and it didn't look nearly as pretty (in swatch) as the other ones.. so i ended up using my regular colors + NYX eggplant. maybe they would show up on a lighter skintone.. maybe i just don't know how to apply it. i didn't use the provided applicators just because i don't like sponge tips (never did). i'm going to assume that the "fresh cut greens" won't do the trick either, plus i didn't like the shades nearly as much as i did in "blushing raisins"..
i e-mailed avon about it and am going to see if i want an exchange or a return.. or.. if they'll take it at all. GRR! the colors looked so pretty too! darn my dark skin. and hey, if they don't make me return the products, if someone else wants them, let me know. or better yet, if you have tips on how to apply.. maybe i should try it wet. i dunno :|
other than that.. the case is sort of large to put in a regular makeup case, it's more ideal for putting it in your purse to reapply later during the day, but it's even large for that (IMO). it's round, which is nice, doesn't seem like it would open IN your purse but i haven't tried it. the middle two shades are VERY pretty but the dark matte color just doesn't cut it for me.
anyway.. i'm VERY satisfied with my NYX eyeshadows though!! :)
TOP: copper + rust / black / MAC shroom / glimmersticks blackest night
BOTTOM: algae + atlantis / black / MAC shroom / glimmersticks midnight blue
on ANOTHER note...
i freaking hate being on my period :| everything seems like.. it takes such EFFORT. woke up this morning, felt exhausted. got up, felt sore. walked around, felt stiff. showered, still felt tired. got to studio, set up and was proud of myself, then realized i forgot something.. two things.. and that i had set up in the NORMAL amount of time it takes me.. but.. shooting went great. i freaking ADORE my model :) she used to be in my class and we talk occasionally.. she's just so cute. i'll post up pics.. sometime. but doesn't life just SEEM like it's so TIRING.. at least it is for me.. the first 3 days of my period.
and HEY! i finally.. am trying to get into the photographic world outside of brooks. we get notifications of doing volunteer work and/or internships.. so i e-mailed a lady who just needed help.. and could possibly turn into an internship. she e-mailed back, we've set up to meet on friday noon.. hopefully that goes well. bryant e-mailed her too but she didn't respond to him.... i dunno why :| but it increases MY chances. i know it's bad to think that way but.. man. it's a competitive world. PLUS right after i e-mailed her, there were 2-3 new e-mails (this lady sends out internships/etc) for what sounded like actual internships, etc. but. oh well. have to stick to it :) and hope it turns out for the best.

good luck with the lady and possible internship! you get 'em sarah sakamoto!
actually.. regular avon eyeshadows just suck monkey balls in general, so it's not your skin! OMG .. I LOOOOVE eggplant.. I used it to the point where you could see the bottom of the pan.. and the rest shattered in my makeup bag one day. :( hmph.
my word verif is molout.. wtf is a molout..
ps- GOOD LUCK!! I HOPE YOU GET IT!!
:( wait.. is your model cuter than me? T_T I'm going to slit my wrists with emo soap!!
.... I think I was attacked by the flu yesterday and today.. what does the flu supposed to feel like? Because if this is the flu... it sucks some major monkey balls.
