Ya'll know how bad I am with titles so I won't bother explaining why I called this look Jinxed Ecstasy; however, if you can guess, then you are a makeup junkee INDEED.
Clue: They're eyeshadow names of a popular makeup brand.
I can't reveal the brand just yet since I'm still in the process of swatching the colors and playing with the entire palette and I'd totally kill the suspense if I let it slip just like that. So until I'm done with both, or until someone makes a clever guess, this makeup brand will be kept a secret.
By the way, this is a lame attempt of doing something similar to this
First of all, I don't own any of the products used [on the eyes specifically], so I just picked up whatever I had that is closest in color with what is shown in the photo. Second, I kept mine [somewhat] subdued for daytime and for work. Third, I used black on my upper and lower lashlines. And lastly, my photos aren't photoshopped in any way. The look just got me inspired and got me thinking of doing a more toned down version of it, and so I did.

No, I don't curl my lashes. I'm lazy
I love my new camera! The colors look so true! Oh, and my blush is finally showing up! Lovely, isn't it?

how do you do your eyebrows? they look perfect!
you carry blue shades so well. :) love this look. very wearable. :) saw the tut and I thought it a bit much for me, glad though this post changed my mind. :)
@Fifi: Thanks, Fifi. For my eyebrows, I use a generic brown eye pencil. It took me a while to get the look that I wanted and I could say this is it.
@Little Miss Smartypants: I love them too! *winks
@Kay: Thank you! Boy, I felt stupid for posting that inspiration but I guess it's not that bad now. I love that blush too.
@Shen: Whenever I recreate looks from tutorials, I always try to twist 'em a little bit to make them work for me and for wherever I will be wearing the look to. The looks are always gorgeous and a little too much for me. Plus, I'd still like to add my own touch to it.
