Wendelius Awesomus

Wendy from Turtle Beauty is generally awesome, but still more so when she sends me presents! Last Tuesday I had one of the shittiest days I'd had in a long time - Bad things going on at home, work being mental as good as being pretty darn ill - and I came home to see this bunch of awesomeness on my doormat:Wet n' Wild Night Elf palette, NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Starry Silver Glitter, Palladio lip stain in Berry, Ulta glitter liner in Purple, Ardell lashes with holo glitter on them (!

, Nyx Mega Shine gloss in Burgundy, and Hersheys Santa! She also sent me a chocolate snowman but something might have happened to him before I took this picture!First off some swatchies, then some lookies!Night Elf Palette. Night Elf Palette on the right, MUA Shade 12 on the left. Both are MAC Club dupes, which I don't own and so let no thought what it looks like! I choose the W&W though, as the commons is more plain and the brown has a much prettier red tone to it.Wet and Wild liner that came with the Dark Elf palette and the Ulta Liner. I'm gutted I couldn't get a nice show of these as the Ulta liner it's often more lovely IRL - and the glitter actually transfers well - and the W&W has tiny green/aqua shimmer in it which is really pretty. I was agreeably surprised by the lining as I'd take a lot of mass view it was shite.Nyx Mega Shine Gloss in Burgundy. UM. WHAT THE FUCK. This colour is INSANE. It's amazingly pigmented, lasts roughly a million years and is the most beautiful slighty-berry red. (The swatch isn't very reliable to living as it has been dark here in England since September, but I hope that gives you some idea.I should likely have drawn this with a liner as it feathers slightly, but meh. If you see this, BUY IT. Wendy didn't get one for herself and I really feel bad because it's that awesome. And it smells like cherryade! I don't mean the balance of this course of glosses is as pigmented because I suppose there would be a lot more hoo-hah over them if they were, but I would care to try more regardless, so if you get any favourites please say me!I did a quick search with the Dark Elf palette the next morning, of course! I used the gold shade all over the lid, the Club dupe in the line and on the lower lashline and the red blended in in the outer V. The red and gold together are really pretty! I get the lip stain she sent me on my lips, which I was impressed with. They were slightly chapped at the time, but the stigma still lasted a full seven hours or so, which is a long time for anything for me!I HAD to bear the lashes and be doomed if I was going to look for a night out to do it. So, I wore them on Monday! Lid is Dinosaur Plushie from Fyrinnae, which hated me that morning, with one of the Sleek Sparkle colours in the crease, blended with the silver from the NE palette and the NE highlight to er, highlight. I got a crap load of compliments that day, so cheers d00d!I was chatting to the lurvely lady about my goodies and she challenged me to do a red eyes, red lips look. Errrr. Hard. I had no thought what to do, so I only threw this together. I used Evil Shades Heartless Queen on the lid as I cherished a more matte finish, blended it out with the red and the gilt from the Dark Elf Palette (man, I know that red and gold together. Lips are the Nyx Burgundy blotted, cheeks are Darling Girl Boardwalk and the lashes are some cheapo ones from Savers which I actually adore!Once again dollface, THANK YOU. You really brightened my day. I'll get you back!Well laydeez, in type I don't talk to y'all before, have a Merry Christmas/Festiwintermas! xxx
