E.O.T.D Smokey eye

Hi there to my lovely 17 readers :) Just wanted to show off this smokey grey / charcoal look.
I have been loving Mineral Make up at the moment so I got a few sample sizes of Everyday Minerals shadows.

My concealers /bases :-
Benefit "it" stick
Benefit "eye bright" (for brow bone and inner corners)
NYX White eyeshadow base

Shadows :-
Everyday minerals in - Weeping willow (crease and smudged out liner) and Queen anne's lace (highlight and lid colour)
No7 Silver dust ...... admittedly this is not sold anymore , i picked it up years ago , but Any shimmery silver dust would work as long as its not too glittery. (I used this as my brow highlight and inner corner)
Everyday minerals can be bought online "here"

Eyeliner :-
Sleek Ink pot in Dominatrix
This is a new product for me and so far I'm really pleased with it , its a definite dupe for MAC fluidline in blacktrak.
Whilst wet it smudges out beautifully and if left to dry it has a lovely finish... I also used this in my waterline and as its Waterproof it once needed touched up at the corners.
Please see my post on this "here"

Mascara :-
NXY Doll Eye mascara (Volume) in Black ..... I'm Still LOVING this please see review "here"

I kept lips plain with my Burt's Bee's radiance lip shimmer in the clear colour. Burts bees website.
And no blush on my cheeks , just a dusting of Everyday Minerals Fairly Light Original Glo base.
Let me know what you think and if you think i should take the plunge in to making videos?? I dont want to shell out on a good camera without being able to use it :P

I recently done a swap with a lovely lady in America on MUA. She included these samples as extras :) I'm so happy with them i have ordered some full sizes to try in different shadows , concealers , blushes etc
Below are swatches (please click for larger image) The top swatch is a MAC sample but i thought I'd just throw it in there , I've heard a lot about MAC studio fix fluid but that mainly it causes break outs. The colour the lady sent me is far to dark for my skin tone so i cant comment on the breakouts but what do you think?
I'm Loving the Light medium Original Glo base , and the multi tasking Neutral Matte base. Ive nearly used up the whole sample , so both of these were purchased in my big order. I have to say there are al ot of offers and freebies on the Minerals Website and shipping to the uk wasn't that bad at all. Once my order comes through i will do a more thorough review. X
