... beauty: Classic golden brown EOTD featuring Make Up Geek eyeshadows....

First of all I have to apologise for the distinct lack of a picture. It is soooo dark here at the moment and I just cannot get the colours to show up on my camera phone.
I will keep trying, though, so do check back here if my written explanation isn't enough.

This is a classic, wearable, Sophia Loren-style look. It is extremely flattering on most people but I absolutely adore it for bringing out the warmth in my dark brown eyes.

Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Socket: Purely Naked as the main colour with a little Cocoa Bear added for extra depth
Lid: Glamorous
Under eye: Purely Naked with a little Glamorous blended over the inner third
Liner: Corrupt
Highlight: Shimma Shimma on browbone and tearduct

I hope this explains the look clearly. Please click here to see swatches of the shadows if you would like to recreate it for yourself.

All the shadows I used were from Make Up Geek and I bought them myself.

Thanks so much for reading. Please check back for my blog sale - it'll be up as soon as I have some light for pictures!!

... beauty: Project Blade.....

For those of you who are reading and wondering what the f@!$ I am going on about there is a scene in Blade 3 where Jessica Biel is upset and angry (no spoilers here!) so, rather than letting her wallow and break down, Blade tells her with great conviction "Use it"

Do you see where I'm going here? Possibly not, I am being rather random and far reaching, even for me.

To make things clear, this is my own use-sh*t-up project and rather than having specific item goals like project 10 pan, etc, the theme of my little venture is, simply, use it.

See, I got there in the end!

Anyway, I certainly have been using it this last couple of weeks.
So far I have finished a sample tube of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation (glowing review to follow) and a MAC eyeshadow (Innuendo) and a Bare Escentuals Buxom gloss (Dolly) are sounding their death rattles.

I will post pics of all my empties at the end of the month (year!!) and welcome any comments or compadres on this little journey of mine.

Project Blade is a go!!
