EOTD - Amber Glow

I finally tried L'Oreal Infallible eye shadow in Amber Rush yesterday. I still want to try the idea of using it with a burgundy type of shade, but for my first time wearing it, I went for something a little safer.

Here's what I ended up with:

Products used:
TFSI
L'Oreal Infallible eye shadow in Amber Rush on the lid
Urban Decay Buck in the crease
Wet & Wild Brulee to blend and highlight
The light golden color from the Wet & Wild Baked, Not Fried palette for the inner corner and just under the browbone
Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in Bourbon to line (in hindsight, I wish I had gone for a warmer brown liner color)
Wet & Wild MegaProtein mascara

I ran across another beauty blogger the other day who mentioned using a sponge-tip applicator to apply these L'Oreal shadows, which was a fantastic tip! I can't get a brush to work well for these, but a sponge-tip applicator worked really well. I wish I could remember where I read it so I could give her credit. If it was you or know who it was, please let me know.

I would also like to point out the bit of mascara on my browbone. This is an issue that I'm having with the MegaProtein mascara. It is a really wet formula that takes a while to dry, so unless I'm really careful, I always end up with small bits of mascara on my browbone. I don't notice is smudging after it dries though.

Goal for my next EOTD - mix up my application techniques. I used the same techniques for both this one and my first one.

EOTD - Snakebitten Latte

I'm going to try and do some eye-of-the-day posts, especially since I'm testing out a bunch of new products lately. I hope I can come up with a better lighting solution in the future, but what I've currently figured out isn't awful, so I'm going to go with it for now.

In this look, I am wearing:
TFSI
L'Oreal Infallible eye shadow in Iced Latte on the lid
Urban Decay Snakebite in the crease
Wet & Wild Brulee to highlight
L'Oreal Hip cream eyeliner in Teal topped with Urban Decay Blackout to line
Tarte Lights, Camera Lashes mascara topped with Wet & Wild Mega Protein mascara

After doing this look, I think I have officially given up on Tarte Lights, Cameras, Lashes mascara. I know a lot of people love it, so I want to as well. I keep trying it, and I still don't like it. I feel like my lashes look really clumpy in this look, and they looked that way before I added the Wet & Wild mascara. 

I don't think these pictures show off the gorgeous sheen/shimmer that Iced Latte has, so here's a swatch picture with it that shows it off a little better: 

All of these are the L'Oreal Infallible shadows. From left to right: Endless Pearl, Iced Latte, and Amber Rush.

Since I haven't worn it yet, how would you wear Amber Rush? What would you pair with it?
