Blue and Purple Eye Makeup look + Picture Tutorial

Not sure how I managed this but I accidentally deleted a lot of recent comments that some of you made on my blog recently. :-(  After looking into it, they can't be retrieved. So if anyone asked a question, I obviously won't be able to answer it. I apologize for this!

Anyway, Sobe Botanicals recently released a collection of gorgeous shadows called Nom De Plume.  I have done a couple looks using some of them and wanted to do one with a tutorial for you. I hope you like it! The shadows featured here will be offered in a giveaway I will be doing soon. So stay tuned for that. :-D
