Lime Crime Magic Dust Review

Well, I know it has been a while, but I am a busy bust bee after all! 

I bought (quite a while ago I admit), these stupendous Lime Crime Magic Dust Loose Eye-shadow pigments. 

What I was attracted to firstly was just how vivid and bright the colours where. A lot of my other shadows, pigments are more muted and neutral and I felt I needed some more diversity!!

I managed to pick these up in the Space NK sale (yep! ANOTHER sale!) at the price of just £2 a pot, down from £12!  

Firstly, I will not be spending £12 on an eye shadow EVER so, £2 was the only way I was getting these bad boy! 

From some quick research online, I also see a lot of drama involving Lime Crime and repackaging and re branding of another wholesalers identical pigments with a huge mark up. Tut tut. BUT I am not commenting on that. I will be purely playing and testing these. (though this may explain MASSIVE reduction in price of items?!) 

I LOVE the packaging - each pot came in its own wee box and the purple unicorn lids are super cute....

I picked up - Circus Girl - Yellow

Mischief Managed - Green

Medusa - Black

Siren - Red

Dragon Scales - A Brown/Red Iridescent

Shoe Addict - Blue

Here we have them with a camera flash, the pigmentation is fab, really quite chuffed with them - though this is knowing I had spend £2 a go - if it was £12 I'd want them to be self applying, and sing me a song whilst they do.

Seemed to think that the Dragon Scales was identical to my Blackened Red MAC pigment though??

Have you tried the Magic Dust? Coming up - a play with the Inglot Duraline!! 

Recent goodies!!

Apologies for being a bad blogger, I have, naughty me! Tut tut!

 

Anyways, I am back, with a little update on some purchases made in the sales last month or two!

Illamasqua have just ended a WHOPPER of a sale....I believe I may have made 4(?) orders!!

Order one, polishes in Propaganda and Smash - a delishious grass green colour,and deep navy blue. £5 each from £13.50

Lippies in Encounter and Drench - encounters being much like ruby woo in my opinion, and drench a more berry red. Both steals at £7.50 from £15.50

Rich liquid foundation in 133 reduced from £21.50 to £10 (!)

Next up came lippie in welt - which is a hot cerise pink, I was hoping from the online piccie it would be more muted - but this is still great!

Cream blush in devour, which in the pan is a shocking bright red, but comes out so subtle and well blended look amazing, mostly thanks to the super pale skin I have! At £7.50 very happy! (also some extra polishes as gifts)

Sirens eyeshadow quad palette AMAZE.

These Colours are beautiful, great for summer too (or what we have of summer) and go great with my hazel eyes this was my best purchase at just £10!

With each order, you have the option of a free sample of 'freak' their signature fragrance...so I managed to pick up 4!

Unfortunately I'm just not a fan, managed to find them a good home via eBay though! Very handy.... !

I am also awaiting another order with 2 liquids metals in stoic and superior, a powder foundation and a couple other polishes....oops!

 

After the amazing Illamasqua sale came Space NK!

I can't include all purchases here, as some are gifts, but I managed to pick up 6 Lime Crime Magic Dust pigments! These sell at £12 each and I got them for just £2 a pot! Same as buying one at full price!

In medusa, circus girl, dragon scales, siren, mischief managed, and shoe addict. Much fun to be had with these!I feel. Tutorial with the Inglot Duraline may be worth a shout...!

 

Have you had any sale bargains recently?!?

 

 

 

MAC Eyes - a little play time

A wonderful lady from the much hyped BBS group sent my little sprogling a box of goodies, full to the brim with beautiful drinking bottles, sweeties, arts and crafts items, a bag, toys, and more!

The beautiful Stacy sent this out of the kindess of her heart, and also tucked away inside a little box of goodies for me!

My face was a picture and I had a wee tear emerge over the kindess that another human being can be so wonderful and generous to another that she has never met. Wowzers doesnt cover it!

Inside my box I had, a revlon lip butter, lipgloss, sweeties (eep yes I ate them!)and other items and a selection of MAC Pigments.

I had been speaking to Stacy for a while about buying some sample pots off her of some colours but funds just wouldnt allow for the amount I wanted - so you can understand my utter elation when I saw these beauts staring at me!!

I love pigments, they are so blendable, and vivid, the possibilities are literally endless with them!

SO many colours to play with!!!

Well, I promised Stacy I'd post each time I used them....so heres my first play with them. The sun was shining and I was in a good mood....so here is what I came up with....!

 

Heres what I used - Golden Yellow in the corner of my eyes, Kelly green over the main part of the lid, Golden Olive over the crease and just a touch of Steel blue in the outer corner.

I also have a thin amount of my uber fave Bobbi Brown Gel liner in black, and my new fave mascara which is the Lancome Hypnose!


So...what do we think!? Im looking forward to having a spare moment to have another play!
