**EDIT** below are only SAMPLES of the Pure Luxe eyeshadows, CORINNE mentioned they don't look like there's a lot, but below are the samples so if you order the 5gram jar of any color, that's a good amount, AND a little goes a long way, I have used the samples 4 times already and as you can see I STILL have a lot!
Here is a look I did using some of my favorite eyeshadows from Pure Luxe, "Amethyst" and "Bad Girl". I also used my Fafi blush in "Hipness", and at first I also used the "Fun N' Sexy" lipstick but it was bit too overpowering for the eyes (in person) so I opted for MAC Slimshine in "Intimidate", it looks brighter in these pics, but it's a lot softer in person...
I also used "Cash Flow" PP (paint pot), but you can't see it. :(
***I had questions regarding how to foil pigments (apply them wet) so that they adhere longer as well as adding a lot of vibrancy, so I will do a tutorial on these hopefully tonight.
What I used:
Face:
- Sue Devitt Face Primer
- MAC StudioFix Concealer in NC30
- Silk Naturals Mineral Foundation
Cheeks:
- MAC Blush from the Fafi Collection in "Hipness"
Eyes:
- MAC Paint Pot in "Soft Ochre" all over lid
- MAC Paint Pot in "Cash Flow" all over lid
- MAC e/s in "Mancatcher" as base on lower half of the lid
- Pure Luxe Eyeshadow in "Amethyst" applied wet all over lid until the crease
- Pure Luxe Eyeshadow in "Bad Girl" applied 3/4 of the way towards the outer-V
- MAC e/s in "Knight Divine" and Milani e/s in "Storm" on outer-V and to deepen the crease
- NYX Dark Shimmery Purple from the "Lake Moss" Palette on outer-V
- MAC e/s in "Rondelle" as highlight
- Indelible Gel Eyeliner in Black Out
- L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara
- MAC "Violet" Pigment on lower lashline (applied wet)
Lips:
- MAC Slimshine in "Intimidate"
- MAC Lipglass in "Negligee"

ReplyDeleteMandy- Awww thank you mama! You are the sweetest! :)
ReplyDeleteXuanie- Thank you! I know purple is one of my favorite colors!
Sheila- Thank you gorgeous! I love all shades of purple!
Thushaa- Thank you! Hope you are having an awesome weekend!
Mandy- I have not shipped out the samples yet, did you get my email? I was short on jars so I ordered new ones which should be arriving soon (hopefully this coming week) and I will send it out then, and yes you will get tracking info! Sorry for the delay!
Corinne- The put a decent amount after all they are SAMPLES that I got, those are not the full sizes, and a little goes a LONG way!
Gezebel- HAHHAHAHA aren't we all enablers???? LOL. None of us help each other out with this addiction! hahaha, I know I need to seek some help, LOL!
Lurve- Thanks! Hmm I would say Violet, Grape, and Viz-a-violet pigments are the closes to these shades of Pure Luxe. HAHAHAHAH and I totally know what you mean about "hiding your purchases", LOL, I gotta do it ALL THE TIME! HAHAHA
Kimberly- No I used Cash Flow, the goldish/green, I used it as a base for a neutral shimmer on my brow bone (that's why I mentioned you can't see it) esp. since I put "Rondelle" e/s over it...but I originally used it to give some shimmer to the lids....
Liz- Thanks lovely!
Sis. No matter how many purple eyeshadows you have and use, the looks are so individual in their own presentation. You know you rock purple girl!
