All that Glitters

Glittery shoes are everywhere.  I want a sparkly pair myself, but the heels are just too much for everyday wear.  I needed something that would stand out, but still look wearable.  These off-gold loafers from Aldo did the trick.
These would go nicely with a toned down outfit to let your feet have the spotlight

Speaking of glittery, my Urban Decay eye pencils FINALLY arrived.  I got them for $2 each at Hautelook, a deep discount from the retail price of $18.  I got in Baked and Dime
 


 They both glide on wonderfully, very pigmented and creamy.  Here are my favoriate ways of using these liners:
1) Use it as a base all over the eyelids to transform your eyeshadow into a gorgeous metallic tone.  
2) Apply as a thick liner for a fun pop of color.  You can go over the color slightly with a liquid liner to prevent your eyes from looking too washed out or shimmery 
3) Use in inner corner and/or waterline to really brighten up your eyes

And guys... The MUF Aqua eyes pencil in 10L is a dupe of the UD eye pencil in Baked.  They both are equally pigmented and last just as long.  Had I known this sooner, I would've forgone one of them.

  6. Those loafers are absolutely fantastic! I want them. I've got a pair of shiny metallic oxfords, but I've had them for more than two years and wore them to death, so I'm looking for a new pair of shiny/glittery shoes to replace them.

  7. The loafers are really cute! I love anything sparkly and glittery :D

    You got a really great deal on the UD pencils - I would never pay $18 for an eye pencil >.<
