If you follow me on Twitter, you might have noticed my tweet about NYX Morocco being a pretty close dupe for the purple colour in the NARS Eurydice duo.

I really liked the electric blue shimmer in the purple eyeshadow, so I decided to do a purple smoky eye the other day to test out some new eyelashes that I received in the mail.


I've actually never used NYX's single eyeshadows before, so I didn't know what to expect with this eyeshadow. I was very impressed with the intensity and blendability of the eyeshadow!

It is also really buttery and smooth, something that I always want and look for in eyeshadows.

Also, I played with the instagr.am app again. I bet you weren't even surprised.


I'm a little off today because I'm sick and everything hurts. I'll be back to my usual enthusiastic blogger, makeup junkie self soon! Oh, and HAPPY FRIDAY!

I was staring at someone's eyes, I don't remember who, in a YouTube video and thought to myself 'I HAVE to have that eyeshadow!'. It was so beautifully complex and mesmerizing! I later found out that the eyeshadow was the MAC Club eyeshadow - a dark brown colour with a gorgeous olive-gold overlay.

I scoured the web for it, and almost bought it, but then decided to wait a while (I don't know why!). Then the other day, while I was having a play with my makeup, I remembered the gorgeous Ameli eyeshadow in Olive Green. I remembered that it had this gorgeous complexity of gold and green and holographic glitter, that blended out into a muted brown, and thought it would be PERFECT to layer over a brown eyeshadow to create a MAC Club dupe. I used the dark matte brown from Sleek's Original palette, but you can use a darker brown to create a more accurate dupe.

Here's what I managed to create:

Of course, I only recommend this if you love having the Ameli eyeshadow as a separate eyeshadow - because on its own, it creates some pretty awesome effects as well! Otherwise, the MAC Club (if purchased online) is actually cheaper than Ameli eyeshadows.

And because I love to play with makeup, here's a little FOTD I did using the MAC Club dupe:
