So yesterday I bought a new NYX Trio and Golden Orange single eyeshadow. I immediately gravitated towards a purple trio, but then a FOTD done by a gal on Specktra popped into my mind. All I remembered was she had an orange and green combo. I thought to myself, "well, I don't have an orange eyeshadow... and if I did, then I could have used it in my Snowkei inspired EOTN instead of the yellow. I should get one!" As you can read, I created a tangent on my own thought yet still was able to justify the need to make a cosmetics purchase. And what do you know? There just happened to be an orange and green trio! Thank you my cosmetics angel for loving me :))))) You can't really make out the green because of my skin tone, but trust me, it's there.
Anyhow, after checking out the orange included, I came to the conclusion that it was a more subtle shade than what I was looking for, which is why I bought the single eyeshadow.
Btw, how's the holiday shopping coming along for you folks? Can I just let you folks know how much I hate wrapping presents that don't fit into any regular boxes and that are shaped all weird! It makes the perfectionist very bitter.
Ok, blah, blah, blah... here are the results :)
Aloha,

Chris: Much mahalos love!!
i love NYX eyeshadows. they're really good eyeshadows at almost dirt cheap prices. and btw i love the look and the hair!
i've been a daily reader, but i haven't really left you any comments. so here you go!
i see you're from hawaii, but which island. my bf is from hawaii too.
Alooooooha! Beautiful Mrs. I don't know why I can't find NYX anywhere and I'm in the great city of Los Angeles. Yikes. I don't have an orange eye shadow yet, but that's definitely next on my list.
Anne: Hi! Nice to meet you :) I really like NYX also. They are budget friendly with intense pigmentation. That kind of makeup is definitely on my A-list.
I'm actually from the bay area of California but have been living here on the island of O'ahu for over two years. I love it here! Was your bf born and raised here?
Divine: Try checking out Longs. I think they had it at Longs when I used to live in CA. I know the Longs here sells it. And sometimes it goes on sale for 25% off! With it already being affordable, going on sale is even better! If not, you should check out their website.
i wish we had nyx over here in atlanta...but at least i have cherry culture!
i think this eyeshadow combo really complements your skin tone, i think you've found your natural yet glamorous look
Ren: Thank you love :) NYX is one of those brands that I always check to see if stores sell. Always on the lookout. Try checking out the Longs in your area.
OMG I love the goldish eyes and burgundy lips on you! You are so beautiful!!!!!!!
Nessa: Thanks my fellow fly pinay!
