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.

*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!

The Lazy Ass Eyeshadow Collection

*I made these.*

You may have read and if you haven't, please read of my recent acquisition of mineral foundation pigments.  And, if you haven't seen my journey into creating or mixing my very own mineral foundation, please take a look.  With these bags of pigments, I figured I could create a decent set of what I like to call my lazy ass eyeshadows.
