Nails - Pink Leopard Tips

I've been a little slack in the nail department of late, mostly, I've been sticking to plain mani's in just one colour. Yesterday, I decided to do something a little more creative. Pink Leopard Tips is the result, but it was a bit of an accident. I tried something else first, wasn't pleased with the result & ended up doing this instead.

Illamasqua - Human Fundamentalism - Eyes

I recently went to my local Illamasqua counter to check out the Human Fundamentalism collection and, of course, came away with a few bits & bobs from the collection, as well a couple of other things. Some pieces that are part of Human Fundamentalism were already in my stash too. Since there's quite a few photos & swatches, I decided to break this up in to two posts. This one concentrates on eyes & the second, which will follow shortly, is all about lips.

The first item that grabbed my attention is the Powder Eye Shadow in Burst. I've been having a bit of a love-affair with teal recently, so I knew that Burst had to be investigated.

Glitter Gal - Dark Purple 3D/Holo

Since I wasn't head over heels in love with the shade of Glitter Gal Dark Purple Sparkle, I thought I'd get Dark Purple 3D/Holo & see if it was what I was looking for. The answer is a resounding yes. This has to be my favourite purple holo of all.

It boasts the same quality of Dark Purple Sparkle; application is a breeze with no dragging or skipping. The base shade, which has more of a pinkish tone to it, is more my cup of tea & the linear holos are my first choice between linear or sparkle.

Glitter Gal - Blue 3D/Holo

Yet another of the stunning holo polishes from Australian brand, Glitter Gal.

Simply titled "Blue", this is an unusual blue holo; it isn't a mid-blue & there are no purple tones to it. The base shade is a pretty, bright sky-blue. The holo really pops in this one, especially in direct sunlight. Even indoors, the holo effect is still evident.

Look - Blurple

Yeah, a bit of a cop-out on the naming of this one, but I was somewhat stumped. Anyway, this was something I threw together to go & do a spot of shopping yesterday. I'm really disappointed with the pictures (something that happens too often, my looks pictures never turn out well), this looked so much better in person.

Sugarpill - Burning Heart Palette

I'm going to preface this post by saying that I do already own all of the shadows in the Burning Heart palette as singles too. Why would I buy them again as a palette? I'm absolutely ridiculous at packing. If I go somewhere & take make-up with me, I get carried away & put things in a "safe place" where I can't find them once I reach my destination or I promptly lose things. Getting these four colours in the palette seemed like a sensible option for a clueless packer, such as myself.
With that out of the way, on to the pretty pictures!

The actual packaging of the palette is sturdy cardboard with the pretty Sugarpill artwork on the top lid.

On the back, there's details of the colours contained inside. I absolutely love that the actual colours are illustrated, not just listed as names. Makes things so much easier if you're in a rush or a bit bleary-eyed in the morning.

Glitter Gal - Dark Purple Sparkle

If you've read any of my other nail posts, you'll have an inkling that I have a bit of a thing for holo polishes. Since I loved the last lot of Glitter Gal holos I bought, I figured I needed to try one of their purples.

Enter Dark Purple Sparkle.
