Delightful Illusions


          Happy Halloween! How's your Trick or Treat going on? I hope it's fun. My Halloween is nothing special because I wanted this day just be in the house since I've just been back from a work travel. I want to relax and stop thinking of work for a while. I just watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone since the movie is appropriate for the day. Don't you think? :) October has been crazy and I almost resigned from work. Haha! Anyways, I will be doing a tag today; something I have not done in while and haven't done this year.

          I was browsing on makeup blogs a couple of weeks ago when I stumbled upon a blog, Hello Kaily, featuring The Eye Shadow Tag. I find the tag interesting since I am a sucker for eye shadows and these babies dominate my makeup collection.

       Of course, there are rules;
       1. Tag 3 bloggers to answer these same questions
       2. Those bloggers will tag 3 more bloggers of their choice with the same questions            and rules.
       3. No tag backs.

❣ How many eye shadows do you own?

          I have accumulated a lot of eye shadows ever since I started collecting makeup. Actually, I didn't keep them all because I don't like expired stuff on my stash. That is pretty disgusting. But there are shadows I have kept because they hold a great value; some where given to me by my friends. As of the moment, I have 6 singles, 3 mini palettes, 2 palettes, 2 quads, and 2 duos.




❣ What was your first eye shadow?

          I cannot remember exactly what was my first eye shadow ever. I have started collecting makeup during my college days and I have really love the Nichido True Colors Collection Eye Shadows. One of my favorites from the line is the Gold Foil eye shadow, a sheer pale gold color. It was my holy grail eye product back then; it was perfect on the lids for daily use and I have repurchased the product twice. I was inspired by MAC's All That Glitters Eye Shadow to look for dupes, but the shade is just not meant to be duped at all.



❣ What is your most worn eye shadow?

MAC's Veluxe Pearl Eye Shadow in All That Glitters! I have shown and talked about this product a lot. Haha! I don't want to be redundant. Anyways, it's the best eye shadow ever. Beautiful on its own, perect for every ocassion.


❣ What is your favorite brand for eye shadows?

Honestly, I don't own a lot of eye shadows in the same brand. I don't have a gigantic collection of makeup and keeping always cleaning my stash. As a beauty blogger, I have quite a fair share of experiences to the community. For the past 6 years buying and using makeup, I have to say that my favorite brand for eye shadows is MAC. Their eye shadow are worth the money you would pay for and would really last a long time. 


I have love-hate realationship products with Maybelline products because they have a lot of miss. You could be wasting some money with their products, but their Eye Studio Marbelized Eye Shadows are must-buys. The one shown above is Mocha Mirage; it's super pigmented, blendable, and has buttery texture. It's one if the best I have ever used! The great thing about this is it's affordable and has wide range of selection, though I wish they have matte shades. For creating dimensions and effect, 

❣ What is your favorite finish?

Satin is my first pick for any ocassion because it's easy to work with; it won't take much time putting on and isn't boring at all.


❣ What is the last eye shadow you bought?



I have recently purchased this Bobbie Cosmetics Smoked Out! Eyeshadow Palette. I won't go in to details with this because I will be doing an in-depth review with this soon. I think that this is quite new as not many bloggers have talked about this product.

❣ How many eye products do you currently have in your makeup bag?

None as of the moment. 


❣ What eye shadows do you use to rock a smokey eye?



Brown eye shadows. I love neutral looks and dark brown eye shadows are perfect for smoking out everyday office looks.



❣ How do you store your eye shadows?


I just store them in my makeup drawer. Maybe one day I'll show you my makeup stash, I got a presentable organization. Haha!

❣ What eye products are you currently lusting over?

I have been eyeing this Autobalm Face California Palette since last year. I would love to own this product because it's perfect for my lifetsyle which is always traveling. This  contains 2 eyeshadows, 1 higlighter and 1 blush. This is a must-have for me because it's lightweight. 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and find it intresting. These are the people I tag:
  • Jhem of Jhem Says
  • Queenie of Dolled-Up Queen
  • Lou of Live, Love and Lou
  • And everybody else who wants to this tag
I hope the people I tagged will do this as it is really fun. If you do this, please send a link. I love doing blog hopping and discovering friends online. Thank you so much for reading. Have a nice day! Stay safe. Sending you all some love. ❤❤💖

     Hello! How's everyone doing? It's chilly here. Again. Because of the upcoming storm next week. Anyways, I just want to post about some sort of a flashback, like a Flashback Friday. This is a look that I posted from my previous blog, Mistaken Glance. Since I don't have any beauty post this month, I thought of re-posting this look. I hope you like it and give it a try. :)

      My first makeup tutorial ever. I am apologizing in advance for some flaws you will be seeing in my tutorial. I am not a professional makeup artist nor a makeup student so please bare with me. This is a simple look. I hope you'll like this. ;D For this look, I will be using the G-Lish Colour Pot in Mystique. You can use similar shades containing this pan.


 
    Before putting any makeup, make sure to apply moisturizer. After doing so, apply your favorite foundation, conceal your flaws and pat a setting powder on your face. Sorry for the undone eyebrows. Hehe.
  • Click the images for a larger view.
  1. Put an eye shadow primer.
  2. Apply the pale pink shade, which serves as the base color, all over the lids.
  3. Put the pale violet shade over the pale pink shade for some sort of lavender shade.




   3.  Take the berry shade and gently pat it on half of the lid to the outer thirds. Then, extend it up to the crease.  Use a pencil shaped makeup brush for contouring. Blend the shadow in the crease with an angled eye makeup brush. 4. Then apply the dark  plumy eggplant shade and pat it on the outer thirds up to the crease. Then blend the shades with an angled eye makeup brush. 5. Use the pale pink eye shadow as an eyeliner for the water line.



 6. Take the berry shade again and smudge a little under you waterline. I used a flat eyeliner brush to do thin line.  
 7. Use the sheer white shade to highlight the brow bones and put some at inner corners of your eyes. 
 8. Then apply a black eyeliner on the upper lash line. I used a powder liner so it's not vivid. You always have the options for eyeliners.



  9. Finally, apply a mascara, put some blush on and lipstick. I used a sheer pinky peach blush and coral lipstick and topped it with a nude lipgloss. Here is the finished look...




  Products I used for this look...
Face - The Face Shop Arsainte Eco Therapy Ice Line Super Gel, Ever Bilena Pro Flawless Finish Foundation in Gold, Oraganic Wear Pressed Powder in Translucent Light, Elf  Face Stick, Nichido Final Powder in So Natural, Elf Studio Golden Bronzer and Elf Studio Contour and Blushing Compact 
Eyes - Elf Eyelid Primer,  G-Lish Colour Pot in Mystiques, Revlon Shadow/Liner in Naturally Glamorous and Clinique Doubling Effect Mascara
Lips - Revlon Lustrous Lipstick in Rosedew and Revlon Lustrous Lip gloss in Nude Lustre.
       Please excuse my messy hair and oily face. I was in a hurry to this and it was really hot when I shot these photos. If you have any suggestion for improvement, hit the comment box. Opinions and suggestions are always welcome. If you tried this look, please post a picture on Delightful Illusions' Fan Page, click here.

      Did you like the look? Would you try it? Let me know. Thank you so much for reading. Talk to you soon. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO
