EOTD ~ testing out some new products May Bird Collection (fall 2013)

So many of you may now by now, I am getting ready to release a huge, in my opinion, collection come fall. (assuming everything falls in to place) I have been working on a collection inspired by one of my favorite children's books, May Bird and the Ever After. I have planned a cream blusher, a highlighter, a fragrance, five pressed shadows and possibly a lipstick if time allows. I have been working hard trying to get everything all set and ready to go. One of the joys of creating your own cosmetics, is testing them. Here is one test of two new eye shadows.

highlight - Red Magma (White with red shift and full of gold shimmers)
crease - Text of Self-fulfilling Prophecy (chocolate brown with multicolor shimmer)
all over lid - Squash Head (a neutral sandy orange with a green sheen)

What do you think? Do you like what you have seen so far?

Small Update And A Tutorial

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and new year. I know it was very quite here after posting the holiday update, but I was very busy being sick and trying it make it through the holidays and crazy issues at my 9-5 job. Now that everything has settled down, I have a bit of time to get all caught up with emails and everything before it is crunch time for my wedding!

One of the things I have been working on is illustrated tutorials. I personally love them. I am finally happy enough with how one turned out to be able to share it with you.
