First look using the new Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette by NABLA Cosmetics, which debuted about one month ago (geez, time flies!). I'm working on a detailed first impressions post about this palette - hopefully coming up this week, or next one at the very latest. (I don't usually wait all this time to post an overview, but this time I didn't rush since the palette went sold out in about two days and it hasn't been restocked yet)
Meanwhile, I thought I could post this look I made during the Halloween period, since it features almost all eyeshadows from this palette! ;D

Halloween is usually all about creepy and bleeding makeup looks - but if you been following me for a while, then you know I'm not exactly into spooky looks... I'm a little too sensitive XD
So I decided, about one week before Halloween, to do a dark yet glamorous look - using this palette and another new entry I wanted to try.
The shades I picked from this palette are Delirium, Inception, Lullaby and Immaculate - respectively: main lid shade, crease shade, transition shade and inner corner highlighter. I'm really happy with all these shadow - even Delirium which is a little... rebellious, so to speak. But I managed to tame it u.u
Since this palette comes in a starred packaging, I thought about recreating the starred effect - but, since it was still an Halloween inspired look I decided to use black stars instead of gold stars. I used some black glitters to do so - Morticia* by Glitter Palace, which is a mix of black stars, hexagons, circles and fine black dust. I used the stars all over my outer corner, while I used the rest of the mix on my eyeliner to make it sparkly *_*

First of all I primed my lids - then as an additional, coloured base, I applied a black eyepencil all over my lids and blended it using my ring finger. This little trick usually enhances dark eyeshadows - and I hoped it would make Delirium stand out much more... But it didn't worked that much this time: instead of enhancing it, the black base 'dimmed' Delirium a bit. But it did reduce the fallout, which is good (especially with this eyeshadows that has a lot of fallout).
Anyway, as you can guess once I was done with the black base I applied Delirium all over the lid and blending it upwards, on the crease.
As crease shade I used Inception, which gets along with Delirium so nicely; I applied it also on the outer corner and lower lid (where I later overlaid a little bit of Delirium).
I blended Inception using a clean brush at first, then I added the transition shade - Lullaby, which complements this look wonderfully *_* The last shade from the Dreamy Eyeshadow Palette I used is Immaculate, which I applied on my inner corners.
At this point I was pretty much done with the eyeshadows: all I had to do was apply my brow bone shade (Antique White) and define my lower lashline with a black shadow (Nocturne).

Now the fun part: eyeliner & glitters! I used the Epic Ink Liner in Black by NYX Professional Makeup to trace a quite classical winged line, with a sharp point on the inner corner area. Although I really liked how it looked on its own, I decided to spice it up by applying some black glitters over it. So I used the smallest and finest glitters from Morticia* by Glitter Palace and I layered them over the black line. The result was a magical and mysterious sparkle that was mesmerizing in person!
Then I added the stars, which again come from the Morticia glitters: I applied them one by one, only on the outer corner area (I didn't go any further because I feared the look would end up being too crowded). But I added just one star on my inner corner, I thought it looked cute ♥
Once I was happy with all the stars' placement, I completed this look by applying a black eyepencil - the same I used as a base previously - on my waterline, falsies and mascara.
