Valentines is almost around the corner, can you feel it in the air? Me, i don't coz' i'm so far away...sigh :-(
Shimmery quad of pink
Normally, i don't expect much from drugstore eyeshadows. It's either they crease, line or evaporate into thin air. So one can't be too fussy with these products considering the cheap price tag. I feel that way every time i find myself purchasing any of these items. But Maybelline's Diamond Glow eyeshadow does a pretty decent job in providing pretty and shimmery eye colors.
02 Wine Pink shade
Sponge tip applicator
(but of course we all use brush...hehe)
Swatch
The sparkles are quite subtle
The colors are well-coordinated so makeup application is easier. The sparkles are also quite subtle so you wouldn't get scared using this for daytime. It is also buildable so you can layer it for more intense drama at night (best worn with primer). Staying power is just so-so, but it doesn't bother me coz' i can retouch anytime i want to...:-)
Very casual looking pink eyeshadow
So there you go, not too bad eyeshadows to use when you're on a tight budget. It is great for everyday use especially when you wanna save those more expensive brands for special occassions.
I also wanna share my favorite perfume of the moment...Burberry Brit Sheer. It's quite hard to describe a perfume so i can only go as far as saying that this smells fresh, clean and light. It has a fruity scent to it. I love spritzing this anytime of the day. Plus, the pink plaid bottle is also oh so cute:-)
Thanks for dropping by my precious readers.
Here's a big pre-Valentines Hug to you all!:-)

The pink eyeshadow palette from Maybelline has such pretty shades. Your eye makeup look is gorgeous. I like how you put the darker color on your lids. It kinda has a smoky effect. :)
I'd love to try Burberry Brit Sheer. Burberry fragrances smell really good. I bought the one for men for my boyfriend. He's not much of a cologne wearer, but he kinda bathes in it now. LOL. I agree with you about the bottle. It sure is cute. :)
Since you mentioned NYX nail polish on your comment, how are they? I haven't tried them yet. The colors are pretty and I'm tempted to buy a few. Hehe... :D
totally unrelated about the e/s haha but I like your eyebrows!
and same with perfumes, I only go with clean and light smell and/or fruity scent.
pretty eyeshadow,. I saw the tutorial in youtube and it's awesome!
I wanna buy the purple one,.
i like the colors. and i love what you did with the first photo! :D

@Fashioneggplant-thanks for the invitation, will check it out girl:-)
@Jannie- I'm using the burgundy polish on my feet and so far it makes my feet look pretty and whiter hahaha!:-) and yeah I love the smell of Burberry on men too:-)
@emmaleigh- haha thanks for the eyebrows compliment, mine always gets cookie monster bushy when left unattended for a long time that's why I find it a hassle to do threading maintenance:-)
