Let's Try This Again: Lady Winter

Today is December 21st, otherwise known as the Winter Solstice, or Yule. I'm celebrating with friends, and thought I would revisit a look I did almost 2 years ago now. I said I would come back to it, and now I have. Here is the original post/look, for comparison. It comes at a good time, too, because I've been trying to go back to older palettes that I haven't used in a while, and the Urban Decay Electric palette is definitely one of them.

Neon Love

I used the LA Splash stuff last time, so this is my chance to use my new Sugarpill Elektrocutes. I'll be the first to admit that this is my first time working with a glitter base, or with eyeshadow with this much sparkle in them. (I literally bought a glitter base so that I could use these colors, at the recommendation of BiohazardousBeauty.) On that note, take the next couple comments with quite a few grains of salt. The truth is, I wasn't super happy with the two Elektrocutes I tried, Hi-Viz and Sparkage. Even with a glitter base, the sparkle fell out pretty fast. Also, I think the focus is so much on the sparkle that there isn't enough attention payed to the eyeshadow itself - it didn't go on super pigmented. I pulled out the Urban Decay Full Spectrum to shore things up (because you straight-up can't blend neon colors), but I ended up having to go over the Sugarpill colors because of the weak payoff. I'm hoping that as I get more used to using glitter b...

There's a going-away party for a friend and colleague tonight, so I put together something fancy. I had trouble deciding on the look I wanted, because I couldn't decide between my new Sugarpill Elektrocutes and new LA Splash Liquid Lipsticks. I decided on LA Splash. This turned out incredible, despite the initial "what am I actually doing?" phase. I LOVE it. <3 Like, you're gonna have to excuse all the selfies, I just felt so fabulous .
