Pandamonium + greetings from Dublin

No unfortunately I'm not heading on a trip....though I wish I was! I finally cracked open my MAC Pandamonium quad to do a look with it.

You can see how well the Lorac Visual Effects mascara lengthens here. The brush has an odd shape and takes some getting used to though.

Photobucket


The MAC quad colours are nice, but the violet-pink colour in the quad requires quite a bit of packing on to show up.

(using the Dariya hair velcro in black here, it comes in handy!)

I received a lovely package the other day all the way from Dublin! Liz had an anniversary contest/giveaway for her blog, and I was one of the winners :) She knew I was interested in the Barry M dazzle dusts so she got some for me, along with a Dublin postcard :D

Photobucket


The dazzle dusts come in small open glass jars, the colours from left to right are:
Kingfisher, Aqua Gold and Midnight

Photobucket


The colours look amazing, especially Midnight and Aqua Gold which look perfect for summer! They are very finely milled, the texture reminds me of NYX pigments or Annabelle pigments, but I much prefer Barry M's colour selection AND packaging format. The NYX pigments were particularly bad because the tiny bottles would dispense too much or leak sometimes, but these Barry M ones are a lot more practical!

Thank you Liz! Will be posting a look with these colours in the near future :)
