Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I tried out this look using a look by Leesha called Chocolate Covered Strawberries. It's a matte look using pink and browns and pretty easy, if you ask me. Mine doesn't look quite as pink as hers because she used the Coastal Scents palette and I tried to create a nice pink like hers using two colors. Mine looks decent but I really like hers better. (Mine Coastal Scents palette will, hopefully, be here next week at which time I will try this look again.)

Enjoy the V-day inspired, yummy look!

Colors Used:


  • Urban Decay Primer Potion: All over lid and brow bone area.

  • Revlon Matte Eyeshadow in Pink Innocence and L'Oreal HiP Shadow Duo in Brazen (pink side) mixed together: all over lid.

  • Bare Escentuals Eyeshadow in Cocoa (light, matte brown; pretty much the exact color of hot cocoa mix!): blended into crease almost all the way across.

  • L'Oreal HiP Shadow Duo in Brazen (chocolate brown): blended into outer-V on top of Cocoa.

  • Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in Bourbon (brown with teeny gold glitter): liner for lid and lower lashline.

  • Prestige Lash Matrix Mascara in Black.

  • Urban Decay Brow Box in Brown Sugar.

  • Jane Cosmetics Blushing Blush in Plum.

  • L'Oreal HiP Presso Lip Color in Swanky.

The Results













I'm not thrilled with the eyeliner. The L'Oreal eyeliner was crappy. I've only used it a handful of times. When I first bought it application was easy because the product with smooth and creamy. Now it's dried out. I won't be buying it again and next time I do an actual liner versus using a shadow wet I will stick to my 24/7 pencils by Urban Decay. They have never let me down.
