Drugstore V High End: Golden Bronze

Morning lovelies!!!

It's nice and sunny here in Sydney today! It would be perfect if I get to sleep in till 9 and head to the beach after. However, this is reality- so I will spending all day at work. A girl can wish right? =P

ANYWAYS,

today's post is slightly different from the usual FOTDs - keep reading to check it out =)

Can you tell the difference between 

THIS

and

THIS?

They look VERY similar isn't it?

 I think the gold in the first picture is slightly shinier and the application on the second one is slightly smoother.

What do you reckon? 

The first look is created using my Urban Decay Alice in the Wonderland Book of Shadows Palette while the second one is created using my NYX Eyeshadow Trios which is 10% of UD palette price. 

This is gonna be a Drugstore V High End FOTD post, where I share with you guys the tips and how to achieve similar look using drugstore products. We all know that MAC or Urban Decay is a luxury that we can't splurge on everyday.

I am thinking of making this into a series but I am not sure how much time I have in hands at the moment as I am still trying to adjust my time around full time work. But I will definitely try to make this a fortnight series thing or something like that. =)

I am not sure if you guys can tell but I combined 2 different lashes ( my favourite criss-cross ones and a simple lengthening one) here to get the full volume and length effect. I thought I had a picture of it but I couldn't find it in my folders. So fail. =.=" But yeh, I really like this combination as it really opens up my eyes and make it took bigger, without looking too OTT and dramatic!

Are you a high end brands person or drugstore person? Or a good combination of both like yours truly? :)
Let me know if you like me to do more of this sorta post where I use both high end and drugstore products to create similar look. =)
