Being that today is St. Patrick's Day, I decided I would shed some light on my absolute favourite cosmetics that happen to be the colour green! I find that green is not usually my first colour of choice in most things, especially cosmetics, and I'm not really sure why! I've been told I look rather dashing in green (my boyfriend's opinion, not mine) so I really should try to experiment with the colour more. Because dying my hair completely green isn't experimental enough.
Eyes
Australis Cosmetics Neon Crush Eyeshadow Duo in #OMG, Bourjois Paris Eyeshadow Pot in 07, Chi Chi Baked Eyeshadow Singles in Fast Love, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Junkie
I have a review coming up shortly for the Australis Cosmetics Neon Crush Eyeshadow Duos, so I won't go into too much detail. These greens are truly unique to my collection, and are buttery soft! The Bourjois Paris Eyeshadow and the Chi Chi Baked Eyeshadow are both fairly similar, so I have no idea how I ended up with both. Bourjois Paris is far darker, however, bordering on black, while Chi Chi has a more forest green finish. The Urban Decay eye pencil in Junkie came in the Vault I got a little while ago! Perfect for just that pop of colour if you aren't adventurous enough to wear green eyeshadow!
Lips
Lime Crime Lipstick in Serpentina, Sleek MakeUP Eau La Liner in Tonic
Lime Crime Lipstick in Serpentina, Sleek MakeUP Eau La Liner in Tonic
Serpentina is one of my favourites, and I've wanted it ever since I first saw images of it floating around on the internet. It's such a unique colour, and although it's not something I'd wear every day, it's definitely something that makes me feel different! I picked up the Sleek Eau La Liner in Tonic to go with Serpentina, and was surprised that Sleek made a lip liner of this colour!
Nails
Zoya Polish in Logan, Essie Polish in Going Incognito, Ulta 3 Polish in Luck of the Irish
When it comes to nail polish, green is probably my smallest colour collection. I do love green polish, but I just don't seem to collect it. My absolute favourite green is Logan - it's the perfect shimmery green without looking too glittery, so it's perfect for a fancy night out. Going Incognito is a great solid green, no shimmers or glitter so a perfect base colour. Luck of the Irish is a given on St. Paddy's day - who could pass up the name?

Because of St. Paddy's Day, I'm definitely inspired to wear more green! I should really invest in more green, also! Are you a fan of green cosmetics? What is your preferred colour?
Is there a colour that you feel is lacking in your cosmetic collection?
That Zoya polish *love eyes* but seriously green does look amazing on you! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know right, it's gorgeous isn't it! And aww, thanks Erin! xx
DeleteNice collection!
ReplyDeleteThank you! xx
DeleteI love emerald shade everything... but green lipstick?? How do you wear it? :p
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah I will admit it's not an every day shade, but I do love to wear it.. it's more of a party thing, I think! xx
DeleteI have been eyeing that Limecrime lipstick but I don't think I am game yet. Maybe I might pick some up at Salon Melbourne ;P
ReplyDeleteOhh it would look amazing on you though! Definitely check them out at Salon Melbourne.. I'll enable you :P xx
DeleteWhen it comes to makeup I really like green, certainly with eyeliner and eyeshadow, strange really because I don't like it otherwise! X
ReplyDeleteOhhh that's weird, I bet green looks amazing on you though! xx
DeleteWould love to see the green lip... there's no way I could ever pull off something like that!
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm sure you could! I have a planned post coming up of my Lime Crime collection with lip swatches so you'll see it on then ;) xx
DeleteSo curious about that OMG eyeshadow duo. I find it unique but pretty. I wanna try this one.
ReplyDeleteI have a full review coming up soon, keep your eyes peeled ;)

Nice green collection! Loving the look of Going Incognito - Essie always seem to make nail polish colours that appeal to me :) I'm quite drawn to greens when it comes to nail polish, along with blues and purples. I rarely wear green eyeshadow but I do like a bit of a khaki or olive-toned shadow :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I agree, Essie always makes me want their colours, even if they look like everyone elses haha! I love olive/khaki like eyeshadows too, but have hardly any in my collection! :(

LOVE the lippie! Is that really green on?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's VERY green! I have a collection post coming up on all my Lime Crime lipsticks with lip swatches, so you'll be able to tell hehe :) xx
