Majorlica Majorca swatches

I’m currently lemming MM stuff… sigh… so made a trip to central today (yay! no rain!! finally!) to post a total of 11 envelopes (watch out for pink envelopes ladies!) and to do some swatches at Watson’s.

*all swatches are on bare skin… no base used*

first up was cream shadows…

my conclusion after the swatches… as much as I like them – texture, consistency, colors – they are too similar to my NYX JEPs to buy. Except for the green – which to me is more cyan - (GR732)… that I’m really liking… sigh… I’m sooooo hopeless.

impressions :

GR750 – the dark blue is really a dark dark dark navy blue… in the pics, it looks black… I like the darker green in this palette but not enuh to buy it.

BR751 – love the lavender/purpley colors in this palette… very tempted to get this. But then I’m a sucker for purple so…

the swatches are switched around – ie PK740 first then BR742

impressions :

PK740 – I really like the blue shade at the bottom right. It has slight purple undertones and looks so pretty and iridescent. tempting tempting…

BR742 – not my type of shades… enuff said

btw, the two darkest colors, the PK740 is more chocolatey brown than the BR742 which is more of a dark grey shade.

conclusion… I still don’t know what I wanna buy… can I get them all?? sponsorship anyone? LOL!

Knights on Horses

Here’s a super simple look… just one e/s color really… notice how lazy I’m getting? :P

Monistat as base
MM cream shadow in yellow
TSS Knights on Horses (custom) – patted on to the lid and blended upwards
L’oreal HIP liner in green

impressions : I really really really like the MM cream shadow. Blending it on is really effortless and its got good staying power too. These pics were taken at the end of the day. Which means this look held up for about 10 hours or so… so tempted to get more colors from this range now. Sigh… *mutters no buy no buy*
