I know I posted a look using this unbelievable essence pigment back in December, but I find it IMPOSSIBLE to resist this stunning eye shadow. Every morning she calls to me from her niche in the drawer...like one of those sirens you read about in Greek Mythology, the ones that lured the sailors to their deaths on the rocks with their songs, except this lady just wants to be ON SHOW all the time and whispers "pick me!" ha ha...
So I let her have her way, and laid her down over a base of the new essence Ticket to Paradise cream shadow in the shade Deep Sea Baby, yet another gorgeous ocean hue, and with a name like that, the perfect partner for the shadow...
This cream is so shimmery and sparkly - here's a fuzzy swatch of it on my freckly arm...
Honestly, these two were meant for each other - the cream brings out the intensity of the pigment even more than white or aquamarine, and the sparkle is to die for...
To make it a bit different from last time, I added some Urban Decay Zero in the crease, but lined the waterline with Mirenesse Blue Moon again because it's such a good match, and doesn't irritate my eyes one bit...
Incidentally this didn't fade at all, and I only had the tiniest bit of sparkle transfer to the lower part of my hoods throughout the day...
Have you tried any of the essence Metal Glam shadows yet?
Take care of you,

Oh wow your eye look fab Kats! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of the Metal Glam shadows or the Ticket To Paradise shadows but I'd love to now. I love the looks of the Paradise shadow. It looks pigmented, creamy and shimmery. I guess essence will be removing that trend soon so if I want to buy some it better be asap!
The Mirenesse Blue Moon is such a beautiful shade of blue too. It goes perfectly with the colours up top on your lid.
Lovely as always my sweets xx
You're so gorgeous Gemma - thanks for commenting as you always do hon :-) There's a really pretty pale green in the Ticket to Paradise range as well - I've resisted so far, but doubt I'll last the weekend without picking it up ha ha...
DeleteKat, this looks so damn pretty, hun! xx

Kats, you know that aquamarine is my favourite colour - I call it my soul colour - so to see it displayed on your beautiful eyes is a sight to behold! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteOh Petal my love, your soul colour? What a beautiful concept hon - I'm wondering if it's mine too, when I wear it I feel complete ♥
ReplyDeleteOMG...........How gorgeous and stunning is that colour - very striking and sexxxy. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHey Mandy girl, another couple of millimetres to the right in the rainbow and it'd be green! Oh how I wish someone would make a metallic emerald for me...for us!
