Japan in 12 Colours (Days 1-6)

So for the past few days, I've been in Japan. I needed to pack light for my trip, so I only brought 13 samples with me. Seems like a lot, but it's way less options than I'm used to...and being dumb, I didn't check my own swatches and ended up bringing 2 colours that are dupes of each other (Backstreet Makeup Co's Laissez-Faire & Eccentric Cosmetics' Earl). So this leaves me with only 12 colours to play with...

Here are the colours I picked:

(Swatches are linked)

Backstreet Make Up Co — Laissez-Faire
Beauty For The Win — The Fault in Our Swatches
Blackbird Cosmetics — Dog Days
Blanche Neige — Little Mermaid
Chinovi Cosmetics — Gidget (blush)
Daisy Bird Cosmetics — Dandy Dandelion
Dawn Eyes Cosmetics — Momo
Eccentric Cosmetics — Earl
Life's Entropy — Enchant
Mad Lab Cosmetics — Pearl
My Pretty Zombie — Grandma Cleavage
Notoriously Morbid — Melancholy One
Ten Three Labs — Electric Love

Thanks to lack of wi-fi & being too lazy to update the past few days, here's a compilation of the first 6 looks:

Sorry for the crap lighting! The hotel room's dark!

Lips is Limnit's Abracadabra, sheered out with a DC's lip balm. Btw, DC's lip balms are awesome...they taste soooo good and they're super moisturizing and creamy. The oilier formula is also the best for sheering out lipsticks to get a more stained look!
