Gold and Blue Morgana Cryptoria look + Bday bash pics

This look is from last Friday. I have not been able to post it since we made the big move to the new house last weekend. Which is awesome! I rushed this look, took the pics and then left for the party. We got home fairly late then started packing up the rest of our stuff to head out. We've been unpacking and shopping for things for the house since then. So I really don't remember everything I used for this look or the application. I just remember I used Kryolan Shimmering vision palette in gold as a base, which turned the purple shadows blue! I wasn't expecting that at all. But I think it worked out well. I've never done gold and blue together.
The shadows are Morgana Cryptoria. The purples are Axe to Grind and Lady Godiva. But I have no clue which gold that is. The lipgloss is Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss...um not sure which but it's very neutral.

Since we're moved in now and the Halloween rush orders are slowing down, I will be able to start reading/commenting on your bloggies. I've missed you all!

That's all for now. I have a Halloween look and another look I'll post sometime soon. I need to get to work and then do some catching up on your blogs!

Green & Blue Smokey Makeup look with Morgana Cryptoria

This look turned out weird. The glitter didn't go on smoothly like it normally does and it looks splotchy and bleh. I think this tube of glitter glue might be drying out or something. Will open a new one and see if there is a difference.
So even though I'm not particularly happy with how the glitter looks, I'm posting this look anyway. I took advantage of the sunlight and used it instead of flash. So this look is much more sparkly in person!
