This is my quick video tutorial for the Stormy Neptune (Sapphire Blue look). This is the first video I’ve done in a long time. It was shot with my Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS 12 MP. Please let me know what you think.
Independent Spotlight – Lost in Makeupland
June’s Independent Spotlight is with Belén from Lost in Makeupland.
How long have you loved makeup?
I think I’ve loved it all my life, which is fun because there wasn’t any make up at my house since my mother has never used any makeup. When I was 6 or 7 I liked to play with my cousins mixing up their mother’s makeup with creams, or apply it to ourselves, I loved drawing girls on paper and give them color with pencils and LOOOOVED using markers on dolls to change their makeup.
When I was 12 I started to tightline my eyes with blue or black pencil and at 14 I used mascara and a bit of powder. It was experimenting really, but I loved it, and at 18 it was when I started to be more serious about it and to learn what looked good and not and leeeeearn, which I just love.

Lost in Makeupland – An Introduction
Very recently I was contacted by Belén of Lost in Makeupland and asked if I would be willing to try out her new makeup line. I told her I’d be delighted, so she sent me samples of all her colors, as well as a few larger sizes. Belén is from Spain, one of the few European countries that I’ve been lucky enough to visit and love. She made me giggle when she contacted me because she said that her products were not repackaged and that “I don’t believe in unicorns!” so I couldn’t help but smile!
While she only has about 17 eye shadows right now, she’s currently working on more. Most, but not all, of her eye shadows are vegan.
Her samples are $1 and her full sizes are $5.99 in a 5 gram jar with a sifter. If you don’t want a sifter, it’s $6.25 for a full jar. Her shipping costs in Spain are $2.50, whereas everywhere else is $3.95.
