New Year's eve is in four days, so I wanted to do a make up look inspired by it,
and also to review Lime Crime Carousel Gloss and Sephora Glitter eyeshadow. This is just an idea, you can play with colours and shades to create your own perfect New Year's look. :)
Products I used:
- Bioten CC cream (light)
- Aura Cover ME! foundation (101 Alabaster)
- Deborah Milano 24Ore Velvet eyeshadow (13)
- Sephora Glitter eyeshadow (N° 13 Curacao Punch - Bright Aquamarine Glitter)
- Nyx Glam eyeshadow (Wedding Cake)
- Aura Liquid Eyeliner
- Maybelline New York Go Extreme! Leather Black mascara
- Lime Crime Carousel Gloss (Present)
- L'Oreal Paris Bare Naturale mineral blush (Sugar Plum 490)
Sephora Glitter Eyeshadow
- N° 13 Curacao Punch - Bright Aquamarine Glitter -
Sephora Curacao Punch (13) Eyeshadow is described as a “bright aquamarine with
silver
glitter.” It’s a bright, medium blue with a hint of teal and silver
glitter.
The underlying color has a metallic finish.
The color payoff is just so-so when applied dry, but it is
incredibly pigmented and intense when applied using a dampened brush.
The glitter also adhered better initially when the product is applied
to the lid with a wet brush, because when it is used dry, there is a ton
of glitter fall out during the application process. Unsurprisingly, the
big downfall to Curacao Punch is the glitter fall out during
wear, and is noticeable after five hours or so
of wear. The actual blue color last eight and a half hours well, and
it look a bit faded after a full ten. I noticed some very slight
staining when I wore this shade without primer. It feels soft, despite
the heavy glitter content, and smoothes out nicely on the skin.
All in all I really like this eyeshadow!

Lime Crime Carousel Lipgloss
- Present -
"Carousel Gloss boasts semi-opaque coverage combined with bursts of nebulesque sparkle that comes alive in indoor lighting. Cruelty-free/vegan formula glides on smoothly on bare lips or over your favorite lipstick. Each gloss arrives in a sumptuous purple foil box resembling an antique merry-go-round."
Present is a deep plummy rose with magenta-pink sparkles.
- Opacity: 8/10 (i.e. you can get by without lip liner or lipstick underneath)
- Ease of application: 8/10
- Drama: 7/10
- Good for: Most skin tones
The glitter is much more apparent in real life, and this lipgloss has really nice vanilla smell. It is also really sticky. If you layer it over a deep
cool-toned rose colored lipstick or liner, it will come off
more dramatic. Shines like a gloss, pigmented like a lipstick, and is loaded to the brim with sparkle.
Perfect shade for holidays. :)
