Why I love MAC Embark eyeshadow!?

I tell you why.. It makes my eyes pop more than other matte brown defining shades!

Now, brown in general makes blue eyes pop a little more than blacks and greys (as it is closer to orange which is the opposite of blue in the colourwheel), however the RIGHT shade of brown makes such a diefference! The right shade for me has proven to be Embark. It has that red undertone that makes the blue in my eyes pop more without being a red or an orange colour. It defines my eyes and makes them look brighter. So what's not to love??

I took a picture of my eyes, one wearing Embark and one Mystery (a cooler matte brown- grey undertones) so you guys could see the difference between hem. Though the effect didn't show up as much as I would like it to (as it actually does in real life). You can still se it though =)

Embark VS Mystery

If you hold your hand over one eye and then the other you can see more of a difference but if you look closely you can actually see that the left eye looks slightly more blue and the right eye looks slightly more grey. So imaine the effect in real life (when the colours aren't that much washed out - the flash does that)!

So conclution? I love Embark as my everyday defining eyeshadow and I suggest everyone with blue/grey/green eyes to go and check it out. If it's too exspensive maybe go check if the drugstore brand have a similar redtoned matte brown. I bet NYX has one, and maybe you have one in a 88/120 palette that you own?

If you have brown eyes though a more greytoned brown would make them look slightly more brown (grey is closer to blue).

Fall/November Favorites..

The Body Shop Candied Ginger home fragerance oil, Body butter AND shower gel - Such a beautiful sweet and sour and christmasy and all that yummyness you want in a scent! I'm completely obsessed!!

Loose glitters (for nails mostly) and particularly MAC's Reflects pearl (on top of the stack in a sample jar)- It's so much fun with glitters on the nails. Try it if you haven't!

Christina Aguilera perfume "by Night" - I had forgotten that I had this in my perfume collection but since my CLEAN outdoor shower fresh ran out I needed a new fave atm and this one is just so nice and warm, sweet but sofisticated but not too sofisticated lika an old lady perfume. It's just perfect for fall/winter =)

MAC Constructivist paint pot - This is the perfect base for a brown smokey eye (what I've been going for atm), perfect underneath Mulch e/s. this is a staple cream shadow EVERYONE should have!

Ge liner (any gel liner really) atm MAC's Blitz & Glitz - I've just been enjoying the classic winged liner a lot this fall/november, so easy and pretty..

MAC eyeshadows in Mulch and Embark - Much is that perfect all over brown smokey eye colour (medium/darker brown with golden shimmer) and Embark is that perfect everyday definition eyeshadow (matte dark brown with red/warm tones to it) especially for blue and green eyes as the red tones in the shadow really make the eyes pop.. These two shadows are also staples EVERYONE should own ;P
