Revlon Shanghai palette by Gucci Westman - FOTD

Hello!

As promised I wanted to show some of my bolder makeup looks. I had picked up this cream eyeshadow palette from Revlon a few weeks ago, it's part of the Shanghai collection by Gucci Westman for Revlon.

Part of why I got it was the ads picture of Emma Stone - she looks fabulous and I love when I see a "pale" girl with lots of color on:

So it came with a little book (you can see it above) that shows how to get the "look" and so I followed it step by step:

And toss on some red lipstick (which goes against the bold eyes, neutral lip theory):

As you can see I didn't get the burgandy shadow as dark as Emma's in the picture - and I put a lot on in "real life" it was much more intense than this picture shows.  It is a pretty combination but I think it need a more neutral lip.  ( I used Revlon's Cherries in the Snow). 

I have read reviews that said this product creases, but I had no problems, I also used a primer.  In fact I felt that the cream eyeshadows were a bit dry, especially the burgandy and as you can see above I got more glitter than than color.  Overall, although the ads are lovely I don't feel the product is user friendly or a palette you would reach for often.

Have you tried any of the Revlon Shanghai collection?

Face of the Day! #1 Pink Princess

Hello!

This is my first Face of the Day post or FOTD as the cool kids call it.  I'm usually rushing around getting ready for work so I don't take a picture of my look and I also haven't mastered the art of getting the colors of my eyeshadow to show up, so I have been shying away from showing my "pretty" side.  You always get to see my bare faced blah-ness.  So today I did a pink crease with a pale pink lid and winged black liner.  It looks soooooo much lighter in the picture than it actually was.  Any suggestions on how I can take better pictures without photshopping them would be welcome!

I liked it a lot and got lots of compliments as well!
