LOTD: Smokey Moss Green with a Dash of Lime

By icyabstract · July 22, 2010 · 19 Comments ·

Lookie here!
I found photos of this Look of the Day that I somehow never managed to post. This was from quite awhile back (pre-auburn hair), I do like the look so belated or not I'll just post it up anyway!

I was in my neutral phase (since when I was ever out of it, right?) but I wanted to spruce up the look as well so I decided to throw in a pop of lime green.


Pardon the brows, looks like I didn't have time to fuss much with them during my final projects period.

Products Used:

FACE/BROW
Maquillage Lasting Stick Foundation UV
Lumiere Invisi-veil Powder (to set)

K-palette Brow Liner in 02

EYES
Etude House Proof 10 Primer
Benefit Creaseless shadow in Skinny Jeans
ELF Studio Eyeshadow in Mystic Moss
Revlon 12-Hour Colorstay Quad in Nude Elements
Rhomlon Eyeshadow in Black (tiny bit in outer corner)
28 Color Palette (highlight)
Silky Girl Funky Eyelights in Lime Green
MAC Powerpoint Liner in Engraved
Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Neo Mascara

CHEEKS
I Nuovi Blush in Dolly

LIPS
MAC Lipstick in Shy Girl
Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lipgloss in Tropicoral

Highlighted products had been provided to me by companies/distributors.

With this post I do want to mention that I have been loving the Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lipgloss in Tropicoral. It's this one right here, from the goodie bag that Elizabeth Arden had given to me.

I find it really comparable to the MAC Dazzleglasses in terms of the way it looks on, the shimmer and glitter but it's not as thick and not as sticky. Though my dilemma about this is that I think this color is a limited edition release?

I had wanted to blog about it and do a comparison on this to MAC's Smile Dazzleglass, but figured if it was limited edition it might be a little evil to do that? Let me know if you guys want that comparison or if you know if this shade is in stock etc.

I have browsed the other Elizabeth Arden High Shine Glosses and it seems the finish is different with different colors. Some are cream, some have shimmer, it seems to vary.

Another mention, seems like Benefit's Creaseless Shadow in Skinny Jeans is getting a lot of love. See Chantana (everbluec) and Kim (ladeekim)'s recent LOTDs featuring this product.

Chantana - LOTF: Skinny Gazette
KIm - LOTD: Skinny Jeans

I do love that shade, it's great to slap it on alone or use it as a base color. I particulaly like using it under ELF's Mystic Moss eyeshadow since they are almost the same shade. Skinny Jeans tends to give Mystic Moss a stronger base and make it smokier-looking.

Thank you for reading!

Sara: I have a green eyeliner too but have yet to use Sticking out tongue its a liquid liner from Stage i picked up sometime ago. The EA gloss and lippy combi is nice on you Smiling I have the EA gloss too but in a diff colour - Maple. I thot it has a little bit of a strange scent at first but thankfully, it wears off

musicplayson: Thank you!

Layla88: Aw thanks! Yeap go try it out, you can change it up with different colored liners and it changes the look.

cocomotion: I didn't notice a strange scent with this one, maybe I didn't sniff it enough the first time around or something but it smells okay now. haha. You should totally do a look with that green liner too! I mean you're rocked color lashes already, what is colored liner right Laughing out loud

Love the smokey greenish look! I can never blend my eyeshadows to look like that, where it's darker in the crease! And show us a look with you using Skinny Jeans, hahha

How are you liking the Stick Foundation?
I am almost out of mine, and going to buy it for myself soon!

ladeekim: Aw thank you (: Oh like just Skinny Jeans alone? In this look I applied Skinny Jeans under Mystic Moss, which seems to almost be an super similar shade to Skinny Jeans!

retail_therapy: I do actually quite like it. Super easy to use and with good coverage! I haven't been using it very consistently, maybe only 5-7 times to date so it's hard to really say aside from those but the formula seems a bit dry on my skin after a few hours. Guess I'll have to use it consistently to really decide but glad to know it works great on you!
