Diamond Sparkling Powders: Ben Nye Lumiere and Make Up For Ever Diamond Powder

*Post originally written by Olivia J on The Unknown Beauty Blog. if you see this post elsewhere, it has been stolen*

You might think sparkle powders are just too much of a Studio 54 memory! (That was an old reference for you old folks.)  After all, you aren't Liza Minelli hanging out with the uber-chic Halston. You are just the everyday make-up addict trying to shine in everyday life.  Nothing wrong with that.  What could be wrong is when you buy a shitty brand and find it was just a waste of money.  You won't have to think that way with either Ben Nye and Make Up For Ever.

*Post originally written by Olivia J on The Unknown Beauty Blog. If you see this post elsewhere, it has been stolen.*

Ben Nye Fireworks Fantasy Wheel ($20 USD) has been around for a long time. The very first time I bought it was a couple of decades ago. I was naive and thought of the product as is and the colors as fantastic as Joseph’s Technicolor Dreamcoat! The product ended up in a corner of a dark makeup drawer for me back then.

*Post originally written by Olivia J on The Unknown Beauty Blog. If you see this post elsewhere, it has been stolen.*

I have been ignoring this blog because I have been obsessed with eyelights.  No not eyeshadows or highlights -- EYELIGHTS.  I knew what I wanted but I couldn't go around wasting my time buying products to satisfy my imagination.  I journeyed to Dr. Olivia's Makeup Lab. *Cue in the Frankenstein music.*

When Aldona drew this picture, I found it to be a great introduction to two more Viseart eyeshadow palettes.  Both are matte but are at the opposite ends of the color spectrum; one is bright and colorful and the other is cool and neutral.

The Groaning Experience of Mineral Makeup

*I bought these.*

The worst thing you can do to me is leave me with a bag of pigments. I realized this the past few days. I didn't know how obsessed I had become when it came to mixing makeup. I just thought, make my Lazy Ass colors and that would be it!

These are posts which would have been written but could not because my brain just overheated and died.  Then, I got my brain replaced and my wifi decided to die.  After I got my new wifi router, my newly unbroken in brain had to overwork and reset every little thing my old wifi had been connected to, not to mention customize the settings and such.  Yes, my brain cells grew in the form of nerdy nerd and not in the form of makeup nerd.  Switching to beauty just wasn't easy.
