Wow! I really had fun with this one! Sometimes serendipity really comes through for you. Still working through all the samples I purchased. It's fun to have enough that I just put the colors on the counter and pick 2 or 3 I haven't used yet that I think will go together. Serenade pulls more blue/violet on me than teal (how it looks in the ziplock) , at least when used with Coppelia.
How to place the lid colors
First, I couldn't decide which color to place on my inner and outer lids. So, I thought, why not do both? I figured it might be fun, and today wouldn't matter. Surprisingly enough, it is not weird, it is beautiful. I didn't really like the first eye, but when I did the second, it was just super. I have never done this before, but I might do it really often!
Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost + BE Queen Phyllis
Alternating inner and outer lids: AL serenade + AL coppelia en pointe
Drylined lower: AL serenade
Serenade: A color inspired by my favorite ballet. Beautiful smooth teal plush matte base with a lush violet iridescent highlight. (Sheen)
Coppelia: A lovely berried plum plush matte base with a dimensional smooth violet highlight. (Sheen)
Mascara: Sapphire Cover Girl
Lashes: Witches Charm Temptress Tentatrice Black with Red tinsel! I bought these one Halloween, might be two years ago from Walgreens or CVS. They have quite an array offered online still, and they aren't terribly expensive. These came with top and bottom lashes. update: I used them as upper lashes the next day.
No blush, only Chanel stick rouge under my sparkly mix of powder, over one of my usual primers (Smashbox purple today) and foundations.
Lips: MAC Love Alert + Arbonne Delicious, both glosses, one on each lip, smooshed
What do you think?

I loved your eyes today — both the shadow and the red tinsel lashes! You looked full of holiday spirit!
Thanks, honey!
I think of these as more Christmasy than Halloween.
But I love AL’s reds on my eyes, so the lashes might work whenever I wear red shadows.
Every time my 12 yo looked at me, she exclaimed she just loved the lashes.
