Pink, Silver and Teal look using Archetype Cosmetics

So this is another look that didn't turn out quite like I had in mind. The upper lid colour looks completely different when applied. Thought it would look more purple but it just looks silver to me with a bit of purple sheen and sparkle. *shrugs*  My lips turned out weird and I was trying to not look bored/angry but...

I had mentioned a few days ago that my video tutorials were done. Well, I they are but I don't want to get a YouTube account just to upload these since I don't plan on doing more (I seriously don't have the time to do videos all the time). I have my own web space that I can use to add these on my blog. The videos are short. One is under 3 minutes the other is under 4 minutes. BUT it could take several minutes for them to come up and play for you. I wanted to ask you if you think I should just go ahead and add them now as they are, or change the quality of the video so it doesn't take so long? Lemme know. This is for you so I'd like to know your thoughts. I think you could also download the videos if I add it from my webspace. You wouldn't have to keep coming back to watch them if you needed/wanted to again at another time because you could save them to your computer. :-)

  1. I hate those weird makeup days. But this still looks really pretty. I like the colors. :D

    As for the videos..I'm not sure! I say just upload them as they are now, but I'm a pretty patient person.

  2. That lip color is very pretty! I was disappointed to see you made it, cuz that means I can't buy it :( I don't think I'm going to get into making lip products, too messy.

  4. Woahhh your lips look cool, and I like the eyes too! I love pale pinks right now.

    I think you should just keep the videso how they are.

    PS, if you want to email me your address, I'll have you sent some stuff straight from Fyrinnae for your bday. :D I don't want to have it sent to me first since their wait time is 3 weeks right now, so you wouldn't get it for like a month.

  5. I like the lid colour :) it's like silvery, but kinda pinky burgundy, but kinda brown too. Love the name of the shadow too XD

    I'd like the videos to show up/load quickly, but I'm not too bothered :) I'm patient when it comes to that ish, haha.

  6. I think adding to your webspace is good: I don't mind waiting, especially not if it's easier for you to do :)
