Ok well here is the products, Ill just add the closed photo separately:
Started with UD Original Primer, then used Nectar and Cool Gray from my Lorac Pro 2 in the crease, but not all the way up to the brow bone. I used the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Purple on my lid, then deepened my crease with Colorpop Mittens. I then packed Navy all over my lid, and tried to blend it out with Mittens. On the lower lashline, I used Tarte smoldereyes in Rose gold, and used UD liner in Demolition on my water line. I then pushed UD Busted into the lashline and blended it out with UD Halfbaked. I then went back to my Pro2 and blended the browbone with buff. in the inner corner I combined Rose, Beige, Snow, (from the Pro 2) and Half baked. then I curled my lashes, followed by Maybelline the Rocket Mascara on top, and a sample size of the Benefit Rollergirl mascara on the bottom lashed.

For my face, I started with smashbox primer water, then the Rimmel fix&perfect primer. I used the Loreal true match lumi in c3, and blended Maybelline fit me concealer in Light and Fair (10&15) under my eyes with my RT sponge. I set it all with the NYX HD powder. for blush I used NYX nude'tude, and kevin aucoin sculpting powder to contour, and colorpop's Stole the Show highlighter. For my brows i used Tarte Amazonian Clay Brow mousse in medium brown

Thank you so so much Rissy for coming back and adding all of this information. =)

I think that your blending looks wonderful, but it's important to bring the darkest shade a bit higher, almost to your crease, for a more seamless look. As of right this moment, it's very easy to see where the navy shade ends and the next one begins. The blending beyond your crease is absolutely gorgeous, I wouldn't worry about that, but definitely drag the navy up a bit more =)

Nice work!

Gorgeous look and I second on Hannah's advice about bringing up the darker shade further north on the lid. I seem to forget that myself at times...especially when I'm in a rush.

I third Hannah and Shelley. Blending is gorgeous..just bring the navy up some and it will make a lovely look perfect!! I love the lip color. is that BH lip palette the newest one they came out with?? I've been wondering how good it is...I've heard pretty good things about it...what's your opinion?

Kelly, yes it is the new one. I like it in terms of colors and pigmention, but I wish they were a little more long wearing since I can't really carry the whole palette with me for touch ups.
