Hey guys! I FINALLY got around to trying out one of the Calypso Mineral pigments stacks that I won from Sonja's(The Beautiful Life of the Girl Next Door) giveaway a few weeks ago! And let me tell you, I am in love! My favorite out of the ten shadows is True Blue. It is like a matte, shimmer free version of Sugarpill's Royal Sugar!(comparison later in the post)
So this was my inspiration, isn't it pretty? :o
And here is the look I created using ONLY Calypso Minerals Shadows :D (with the exception of a Highlight)
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
NYX JEP - Milk
Calypso Minerals in Drama, True Blue, Matte Black, and Lemon Sorbet
Sugarpill e/s - Tako
Physicians Formula Gel Liner
Prestige Liner - White
Maybelline Collosal Mascara
NYC Liquid Lip Shine in Dusty Rose
This is what I got from Sonja(she is an absolute doll and I love her!) She even included a sweet card with a special Surprise inside ;D
Top to Bottom: Razzle Dazzle, Torrid, Lemon Sorbet, Sublime, Envy, Drama, True Blue, Grape Pop, Matte Violet and Matte Black
Left to Right: Razzle Dazzle, Torrid, Lemon Sorbet, Sublime, Envy, Drama, True Blue(favorite), Grape Pop, Matte Violet and Matte Black(favorite) - Like seriously, that Matte black is so pigmented it can replace my NYX e/s in Black!

And here is the surprise inside the card that I wasn't expecting: A whole set of silver rhinestones. I had talked to here recently asking her where she got hers because I had been dying to have some and she sent me a bit in the card! :D ♥

Beautiful look! It's a lovely interpretation of the picture. I didn't think I'd get this excited about mattes, but I really am!

Must say this, I love when you're doing looks in blue! So good for your eyes!
And what cool colours you got! And so nice of her to send those rhinestones! Now you can bling! Yiha!//Azure
LOVE the look you created!
I'm confused though, is this the same Calypso Minerals that kind of scammed everyone a couple of years back?
OMG! I love love love this look and those shadows looks like you're going to have some fun with! And I just can't wait until your next look using them!
