Danessa Myricks Haul

 I've been having a super amazing weekend, good food- lots of laughs...just everything!  Now the weather is super ugly so I am just hanging around the house. Will probably start Sunday Dinner in just a little bit. But before I get on with all the Sunday things I wanted to share what I bought in my most recent Danessa Haul.

I couldn't resist her Holiday sale and that email for 35% off just couldn't be ignored. Figured I would finally try out the Chrome Flakes that I have been wanting to get my hands on for awhile. And while I was added I wanted to try out her Twin Flames and the multi-chrome liner. I had the hardest time picking out colors but ultimately I am obsessed with chartreuse so I went for anything that had Chartreuse in the description. 

Starting with my favorite of the bunch- Chrome Flakes. I bought the color lightning bolt. These are pricey but they are so pretty and unique. I haven't seen anything like this anywhere else so I would say they are worth it. They definitely give a very unique look- probably more suitable for editorial makeup. But I love them and I am very extra with eye make lately so I will probably wear them casually. And for everyday. I wore mine over a teal shade and LOVE it. But I'm sure it would be gorgeous over purples, pinks, greens etc. They mostly appear gold but you can definitely see blue, pink, and green shifts. It's the most shifty and more complex than I think you could get from a powder. 

Then I bought one of the Twin Flames. The color I bought was Passion. I wanted a bright pink to lime green shifting color and I was expecting this to be that. Mostly I get a pink glitter look. I'm not sure I needed this since I did buy the most recent light work palette and I think I like those powders over this. But I do need to play with it more. I coudn't get it to photograph nicely....

Last up, I bought a multi-chrome pencil- shade Charlotte. I think this might be the most dissapointing of my haul. I don't see much multi-chrome effect to it. It just feels like a deep purple. The pencil is very thin...not as creamy and smooth as I was expecting. And the tip already broke off. But I will reserve judgment until I have used it more as there may just be a learning curve. I would probably still test out other colors later down the line though....

And that's all! I'm off to play in some makeup and then probably get started on dinner....
