The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!

Oooh, I'd forgotten about my Family Silver! I really like it actually. If you have Sweet Sienna pigment, that looks great with FS.

Today I am wearing Femme-Fi e/s (LOVE) with Cocomotion pigment and Club e/s in the crease, Buried Treasure p/p to line. Sunbasque blush on my cheeks and Glamorsun l/g on lips. I really like how this turned out, soft and neutral but with a bit of shimmer. Good for work!

OK, today I used:

Naked Lunch E/S all over lid
All that glitters E/S on top with Jest as a highlight. Very pretty neutral eyes. I love neutral eyes

Clinique lash doubling mascara
Dug out my Dollymix blush

and my Bobbi Brown shimmerbrick in apricot
Also a bourjois lipgloss in rose chic

It looks SO sparkly, which I'm not sure if I like yet, but I'm glad to be finding uses for Family Silver at least!

Omg Sharkskin w/ Family Silver??!?!?! GREAT idea!

I'm gonna have to test this out.

Ugh. I was soooooooo disappointed with that MES and it was the only one I got from that collection also because I was trying to be good and only buy things I would actually use. Ugh.

Yeah.......that didn't work now did it? I've used that thing maybe twice. aahahahaha.

Is Sharkskin a shadestick? Is it discontinued?

 

[thelove4tequila]

Yes, and yes unfortunately

Last night I used Goin Bananas, Paradisco, Baby Cassette, Hepcat, Nocturnelle & Sattelite Dreams, with Nylon to highlight. I love thease purples! ANd the Paradisco & Baby Cassette made such a nice gradient from the yellow into purple.

I totally agree-it was the only MES I got and I was so disappointed with it...but I did like it with Sharkskin! It kinda looked a little blue-ish which was cool! Next I'm going to try it over Mauvism paint

Today I dug out Orange Tangent & Sunplosion e/s (wore w/choc. brown pigment also) Sunbasque blush, and Ola Mango l/g. Turned out surprisingly well if I do say so myself lol

 

[FiestyFemme]

I used All That Glitters e/s and Springsheen blush today. I'm loving ATG now... I'm thinking it's my 242 brush cause I wasn't wild about it before.

This thread reminds me of all the lovely eyeshadows that I have sitting around, I have to use them asap! All that Glitters, such a lovely colour!

Today I used my Expensive Pink for the first time in ages, I thought it appropriate now that Sci-Fi has been out for a while... I wore it on my lid with Stila Golightly in the crease and Femme Fi to highlight, and lined with Graphic Brown fluidline. (How gorgeous is Graphic brown?! I don't know how it's been sitting unused in my cupboard for so long.) On my lips I put Honey Moon lipstick with Hush Hush tendertone over it.

I'm not sure if I'm digging this look or not, but today I did Gold Mode pigment wet on the lid with homemade MM, Rose Pigment in crease and outer V. It's a pretty golden pink look, but I just think it's too light for me.

I don't know that I'll ever really like Rose.

Have you ever mixed it with clear gloss? It's my favorite way to wear it...it makes such a pretty lip gloss.

Believe it or not I don't even own a clear gloss. Maybe I should invest in one and try this out!

 

[FiestyFemme]

Today I used Vex on the lid, Night Light Pigment in the crease, and Knight Divine in the outer V. Sounds like a weird combo, but the pink/green/grey combo is quite pretty and feminine.

Hey guys! So this is kind of silly and it takes some time, but some of you might want to do it because it's really fun. I wrote all my eyeshadow and pigment names down on looseleaf then cut them out and crumpled them up. I placed all the crumpled names into a cup that I keep on my dresser. When I have a day where I feel like experimenting or don't have an exact look in mind I pull out a color and I HAVE to create a look based around that color. When I'm finished I throw the paper out so I can't pick it again. It's a great way to use eyeshadows you don't usually go for. I picked Electric Eeel the other day and I NEVER use it but created a gorgeous look using Electric Eel and Solar White. I reccommend trying it if you have the time!!

It's still available on the UK site, I'm going to buy it tomorrow.

 

[xoxprincessx0x]

It's not available on the U.S. site but I believe it is being repromoted with an upcoming collection.

Ooh can you give us the look details? I have both of those colors and I never use my Electric Eel either!

Today I used my Smoke Signal p/g...I love this color but I never ever use it because I either forget about it or don't have any ideas for it.

Groundwork p/p on lid and crease
UD Underground e/s on lid (I also rarely use this but it's so pretty!)
Smoke Signal p/g in outer V and crease
Claire de Lune e/s as browbone highlight (rarely use this as well but it goes so well with Smoke Signal!)

I loved this look-I'm going to wear it again, I can already tell-it's so smoky and pretty!

I actually like Rose. My favourite way to wear it is Rose on the lid and Pink Pearl in the crease. I wore this look yesterday
