New Years Eve Makeup Look

Hey lovelies,

Happy New year!!! 2013 came with some good, some adversities and setbacks, nonetheless, I have life, health and family, so I am grateful. Thank you to everyone for supporting my blog, it's not where I want it to be but I know I will get there. Making an effort to get it to the point I want it to be this year. If you all didn't know this is one of my safe haven, to just do makeup looks randomly even when 98% of the time I wipe it off after posting to my blog. However, I love to buy affordable makeup and make it work for me. Anyways, I didn't ring in the New Year at a party or club or sipping champagne. I was at work at that time, and I thought to myself why don't I make my last makeup of 2013 a bang and yes I did.

FOTD: Dark Shadows

Hey Beauties,

If you can recall I posted and did a video on an influenster Voxbox for Beauty Bloggers that I received.  Now one particular beauty item that I wanted to try was the N.Y.C. Individual Eyes palette namely Dark Shadows. It is a limited edition item and of course knowing this is a beauty blog, I had to give my take in using this palette.

However, I have to review this item for you beauties. The N.Y.C. Dark Shadows palette is limited edition palette so if you see it at your local drugstore and would love to purchase it, definitely do.
The palette has four colors that are great for any glitz and glam makeup look, especially for a date night, smokey eye, club look; not a palette for your everyday wear kinda look. The palette also contains a primer so this saves you money on purchasing a eye primer and some eyeshadows separately. With that it come with an extra which is an illuminator that can be used as an eye highlight color along with being used as a face highlighter (which in the latter case looks absolutely awesome). Nonetheless, this palette has it cons; couple of the shadows are chalky and it definitely gives fallout but on the rating scale this gets a 7 out 10.
