All That Glitters: RMK Ingenious Cream&Powder Eyes 01*

So I haven't really blogged about makeup yet but I'm going to start doing that more often, because if there's anything essential to being an Evil Queen it's not only having flawless skin but also flawless makeup. I'm a big fan of bold eyes and bold lips, so you probably won't be seeing a lot of "natural look" mumbo jumbo on here. We're going for fierce, exciting makeup that makes you look like you're about to fuck shit up.

I was sent the RMK Ingenious Cream & Powder Eyes 01 by the lovelies at lookfantastic.com, and though I don't ever wear gold, this was still really fun to play around with. The packaging is ADORABLE (the silver box says "open me choose me" all over it, like it's begging for you to pick it up off the shelf in the store and take it home with you), and the two eyeshadows swivel out from each other in a very sleek silver compact. It comes with a brush which you can push out to either side, one for the cream shadow and one for the powder, so you never mix. I really like things that come with brushes. It makes my life easier, and feels like a 2-for-1 deal.

The cream eyeshadow is a very lovely, shimmery gold, and goes on pretty light and sheer. If you want a lot of colour, you have to pack it on, and then it can get a little clumpy. The silver is also very sheer and very glittery, which I do like, and mixes well with the cream for a blended look. I did a very simple look with these - gold all over the lid, silver on the outer V of my eye and under my brow, and winged eyeliner. I think it makes a pretty perfect holiday look, and it's super easy to do with just this one compact. I really enjoyed playing with it, and I think I would look for other colour combinations with this item like the purples or greens, and there's also neutrals - all available on lookfantastic.com! And apologies in advance for my horrible eyebrows that need to be done badly:

Try it out for yourselves and send me looks that you come up with!
