China Glaze - Get Carried Away

Another polish from China Glaze's Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away collection; Get Carried Away. Yep, it's another glittery one!

Unlike Whirled Away, Get Carried Away can be used alone, or you can layer it over another polish.

Get Carried Away is a sheer black base that's packed full of glitter - large silver & red hexagonal glitter mixed with small silver glitter, small black glitter & black bar glitter. It's a glitter-fanatic's dream.

China Glaze - Whirled Away

 It's been a while! I haven't posted anything since last october, due to moving house & having an absolute nightmare with getting back online. So, this is officially my first post of 2013.
Today, I'm taking a look at Whirled Away from China Glaze's Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away collection.

Whirled Away is a clear base with black hexagonal & bar glitter, plus white hexagonal pieces. I was mainly drawn to this because it has a similar effect to the Nubar Black & White Polka Dot polishes, but with a bit more oomph.

Look - Smoked Out

Just a quick, smoky eye I did last night to go to a gig. I was feeling decidedly under the weather, so a smoky eye seemed like the best choice to go with.

Halloween Photo Shoot

Today, I worked on a Halloween-themed photoshoot with Karl Walsh Photography. I took a couple of shots myself, these haven't been edited or Photoshopped at all, and they may be a little blurry (it was cold out there), but they give the basic gist.

Inglot - AMC Eyeliner Gel 77

 Because I was so impressed with Inglot's AMC Eyeliner Gel in shade 87, I decided to replace my Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink with Inglot's Gel in shade 77.

I've been using the Bobbi Brown gel liner in my freelance kit & it replaced MAC's Fluidline in Black Track. I vastly preferred Bobbi Brown to Fluidline, but, now I've had a chance to use Inglot 77, I won't be buying the Bobbi Brown gel liner again.

EOTD - Pylean

Another look inspired by Angel, this time I took my inspiration from the character of Lorne. As with Illyria, this was another test run, so I only did one eye & used no other make-up. Again, it could use a little perfecting, but I liked the basic idea.

Inglot - AMC Eyeliner Gel 87

A while back, I dyed a bit of my hair teal. I was trying to do my eyebrows to match it for a night out & the only teal liners I had were shimmery. I've been known to do glittery eyebrows on occasion, but this liner had golden shimmer in it & it looked odd, even with a powder eyeshadow over the top.

I went on a hunt for a nice, matte liner & stumbled across Inglot's AMC Eyeliner Gel in shade 87. As it turned out, I didn't keep the teal hair for very long, I've since dyed my hair red & black, but this little pot of goodness still has a loving home in my make-up stash.
