Egyptian

I love Xena!
I love the series, the character, the story ... simply everything!! 

So sooner or later it had to happen that i recreate a look of Xena, shown in an episode. I'm watching all seasons at the moment and yesterday I saw "Who's Gurkhan" and OMFG, I just HAD to do that black and golden harem look.

After 25 years Gabriel wanted to visit her home but when the girls arrived there they found out that Gabriel's niece Sarah got kidnapped by warlord Gurkhan for his harem years ago so Xena and Gabriel travelled to northern Africa to rescue her.

But since I have my own associations when I think of black and gold and egyptian atmosphere I changed it a little bit ;)
So I came up with this:

Brands I used:

Alverde (Natural Light Make Up "10 Light Ivory", Camouflage "Sand")
Catrice (Prime&Fine Smoothing Refiner, Absolute Eyecolour "400 My First Copperware Party" "420 Talk Like An Egyptian", Gel Liner "Black Jack With Jack Black")

Essence (Mattifying Compact Powder "07 Translucent", Crystallized LE Liquid Highlighter, Colour&Shine Eyeshadow "02 Stage Beauty")

Illamasqua (Liquid Metal "Electrum")

Keyté (Kajal "Black")

Lime Crime (Opaque Lipstick "Styletto")

L'Oreal (Volume Million Lashes Mascara)

Manhattan (Multieffect Eyeshadow "50 Black")

Zoeva (Pure Glam Pigment "Goldiva")

Golden Tears

Woohoo, I got my first Liquid Metal from Illamasqua *_* I'm so happy...
Of course I had to try it out immediately.

My friend Tina visited me and brought my Beauty UK Palette. We did a collective order so i got many new things last weekend XD

However, I got inspired even just from looking at my new goodies and what happened was the following:

Okay, the eyeliner was quite tricky, but in the end it was worth the effort. ^^
And oh my god, the Liquid Metal of Illamasqua goes on sooo easily and smooth ... In my collection I have similar products (from the drugstore) to compare it with ... Completely other dimensions!! I definitely will get some other colours of that product!

Also i have to say that I was surprised how good the quality of the Beauty UK palette was. Well pigmented and easy to blend.

Brands I used:

Beauty UK (Palette "Earth Child")
Catrice (Gel Eyeliner "Black Jack with Jack Black")
Essence (Mattifying Compact Powder "Translucent")
Illamasqua (Liquid Metal "Electrum")
Leichner (Camera Clear Tinted Foundation "Blend of Porcelain")
Lime Crime (Opaque Lipstick "Styletto")
L'Oreal (Volume Million Lashes Mascara)
Manhattan (Multieffect Eyeshadow "50 Black")
Yves Saint Laurent (Long-lasting Eye Pencil "Black")

Black & Yellow

Yellow is not a common colour when it comes to make up...
But I own many unusual colours and since I love using them for my looks I just did something bold ;)

Brands I used:

Alverde (Camouflage Concealer "Sand")
Catrice (Gel Eyeliner "Black Jack With Jack Black")
LimeCrime (Opaque Lipstick "New Yolk City" "Styletto")
Manhattan (Soft Compact Powder "0 Transparent")
P2 (Intensive Khol Eyeliner "020 Cool Alaska")
Revlon (Colorstay Foundation "110 Ivory")
Rimmel (Scandaleyes Mascara "Black")
Sugarpill (Pressed Eyeshadow "Buttercupcake" "Bulletproof")
