'In Vogue' by NYC is my first favourite as its a rich, delicious looking satin-matte purple shadow. I had forgotten how much I loved colour before I discovered this little gem.
'Biscuit' by Barbary Daly on the other hand is an everyday essential. It's a toasted beige colour, pretty much of my skin colour and has a slight pearlacent sheen to it which avoids it looking too bland.
I like the fact that both of these are drugstore items are easily available on a trip to your local Tesco and Superdrug and are cheap as chips! Always helps to have favourites that don't cost a fortune eh?
Both of the shadows are moderately pigmented and can be built for a more dramatic finish. I like to apply them sheerly to look daytime appropriate.
Here's a little EOTD for you guys to see how the products look in action. Not so dramatic but quite a soft and feathery effect going there which I quite like.
It doesn't look harsh but still defines the eyes so beautifully in my opinion.
Totally would never have thought to put these two together but they look amazing. I love the look of the Barbara Daly shadow. How much is it?

that seems great :)
wow these look great together.
This is such a pretty look!! ;) :D
Really pretty, I always loved the Barbara Daly blushes, but never thought to check out the eyeshadows :)
@Alicia - Not quite sure but around £3 :)
@Midnight Violet - I am yet to try out their blushes!
Well, that's taught me a lesson. I was looking at those colours thinking no, not for me, don't like them and anyway they'd be awful on my skin tone. And then, ta daaa! The look you've created is gorgeous AND we have similar skintone anyway. So that's me told!
This eye look looks beautiful! <3 I really like how it defines your eyes softly :)
