fotd: ft. em michelle phan day dreaming sampler

hi guys! yesterday i posted about my first impressions of the day dreaming sampler from em michelle phan's day life palette. today i figured i'd try it out and have a fotd for ya. ~Lindsay-chan ^.~

 

i wish i would have noticed my hairline a bit better...i didn't blend my foundation up there too well. >.> and my liquid liner was giving me problems and i was getting aggravated with making them both even, so i quit. but i'm not going to have my eyes perpetually closed for people to really notice anyway.

list of products used:

• eyes
• too faced shadow insurance, original
• eyeshadow: em michelle phan silver lining (lids), fantasy (inner half), storm kiss (crease)
• application impressions: not too bad, i like how nicely they all blended together. used individually, i'm not so sure how often i'd reach for them. they're pretty pigmented alone, but they do fade a bit over time even with primer.
• chella ivory lace brow highlighter
• anastasia beverly hills clear brow gel
• waterline: laura gellar i-care waterproof eyeliner in bone
• lower lash line: urban decay 24/7 eyeliner in rockstar
• upper liquid liner: eyeko skinny eyeliner in black
• loreal telescopic shocking extensions mascara in blackest black
• brushes: urban decay naked2 blender-side, sephora eyeshadow brush & brow and lash comb
• face
• too faced primed and poreless (original/nude) (not pictured)
• covergirl 3-in-1 foundation in buff beige
• revlon colorstay concealer in light
• theBalm sexy mama
• benefit cosmetics: hervana blush, hoola bronzer
• nars satellite of love highlighting/blush
• urban decay deslick setting spray (not pictured)
• brushes: real techniques expert face brush, buffing brush, & contour brush, and elf kabuki brush, random blush brush
• lips
• eos lip balm in vanilla (lightly applied before makeup application) (not pictured)
• em michelle phan: misty mauve
• application impressions: it takes a few swipes of the finger and a few dips to get complete coverage, but overall not too bad. i love this color. i like that it's a my lips but slightly pinker shade. not too emollient but ok. but i think if this had a different formula, i'd love it more. (i'm too lazy to use and clean a lip brush)
• i'm thinking about getting the misty mauve lipstick when i get a chance.
