Meet Me on Dead End Street

Today I'd like to show you another Overall Beauty mineral eye shadow. It's called "Deadend Street" & is part of their Road To Nowhere collection.


The Overall Beauty website gives the following description: 
"You go for greens and you go for blues, Deadend Street is both! Just depends on the light, that's all."


It's a really gorgeous, a highly pigmented dark turquoise that has an almost metallic like finish - extremely rich looking!

face: MAC studio sculpt SPF15 in NW25


cheeks: NARS "Deep Throat"


eyes: MAC "Undercurrent" pearlglide intense eye liner as a base on lower lid, "Deadend Street" layered over "Undercurrent" on lower lid & without base in crease.
MAC "Vanilla" e/s to highlight. MAC "Carbon" to line upper & lower lashline. "Deadend Street" smudged over "Carbon" on lower lashline.


lips: MAC "Marquise D' "


Thanks for looking :-)

Dare To Wear Denim

Here's another look I did using an Overall Beauty mineral e/s, namely with "Flashy Denim".


The Overall Beauty website says "Try this denim blue with gold highlights. Works well as eye shadow as well as eye liner."


I agree, it's definitely a denim blue bordering on periwinkle with gold sparkles. It's very well pigmented & easy to work with. What I like in particular is that the gold sparkles actually show up & not disappear once the color is on the lid.
You can't say that about every product that contains sparkles/glitter.

face: NARS sheer glow foundation in "Punjab"


cheeks: NARS "Deep Throat"


eyes: Overall Beauty "Flashy Denim" on lower lid (with MAC "Marine Ultra" Chromaline as base) & also in crease (without base). MAC Vanilla e/s to highlight. MAC "Carbon" e/s to line the upper lashline, MAC "Carbon" e/s layered with Overall Beauty "Flash Denim" on lower lashline.


lips: MAC "Shy Girl"


Thanks for looking :-)

Overall Beauty Coupon Code

I have been asked how much oversee shipping for Overall Beauty eye shadow samples costs & here's the good news: It's fairly cheap, starting at $3 (for up to 6 samples).


The even better news is that Kim, the lovely owner of Overall Beauty.com, is giving my readers a coupon code when they place an eye shadow order:
Order at least 6 e/s samples & this code will take off $1.50 of your order. Samples retail for $1.50, so you'll get one sample for free!
All you need to do is to write TABATHA in the comment section at checkout.
(This code only works for e/s orders, not for polish orders or any other items.)


Happy shopping ;-)

Fresh Mint

Hi guys,


Today I'd like to show you another mineral e/s from Overall Beauty.
It's called "Dragon Gems" & it's a mint green.
The Overall Beauty website describes it as a light baby soft green with sparkly pink highlights.


Their description is spot on, it's a mint green with pink sparkles that actually show up. Alas, my camera had problems to really capture them. This is the best pic I took (pls click to enlarge):

As with most mineral eye shadows, it works best layered over a base. Application was good, though a tad dusty, but nothing you couldn't deal with. The clue is to use a good brush - this goes for applying eye shadows in general, not only for mineral products. A good brush makes the difference IMO. I use MAC brushes, but from what I hear the ones from Sigma or Real Techniques work very well, too.


I did this look, using "Dragon Gems" on my lower lid (over a base: NYX "Horse Reddish") & in my crease without a base:

face: NARS sheer glow foundation in "Punjab"


cheeks: MAC "Amazon Princess" blush duo (lighter side).


eyes: Overall Beauty "Dragon Gems": on lower lid with NYX "Horse Reddish" as a base, without base in the crease. MAC "Vanilla" e/s to highlight. MAC "Carbon" e/s to line.


lips: MAC "Play Time"


nails: Rescue Beauty Lounge (RBL) "Recycle"


I chose to wear a dark green polish to match the look, RBL "Recycle":
