EOTD: Smashbox Orange, Green & Taupe...

Another fave combination of colours - this works equally well in any season, it's fun but not over the top, and particularly flattering if you have green eyes and warm-toned skin (I'm a bit biased lol) :-)


Orange can be quite scary if it's not the right orange, and this #9 from the Smashbox Click You're It palette is a darling. It's warm and shimmery, and the perfect partner for the #15 green...


In Winter I would most likely apply a brown gel or MNY Tattoo like Fierce and Tangy as a base, but because we're now well into the warmer months, I kept things light and airy by using, yes, you guessed it, essence white kajal...


#11 is a rich taupey brown, relatively matte with just a few sparkles, so that's what I chose for the crease. And on the waterline, I went for essence Longlasting Eye Pencil in I Have a Green - I must be getting close to the end of this propelling pencil, and I'll definitely be buying another, one of my most used (and loved) products 


Woefully grainy face pic, but you get the idea. Lips are Sleek Lip Pencil in #188 (Bare Essential), Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Peach Me, and Napoleon Perdis Luxe Lip Gloss in Shimmer Pink over the top. Cheeks are essence blush up in Heat Wave...


Take care of you,

    1. Hey babe, I figured this one would be right up your alley lol. Funnily enough it's a colour combo I don't see much outside of my blog - weird, because they're such complimentary hues ♥

  2. Oh you're right Kats! This combo looks magnificent on you, you exquisite creature :)

    1. Aha! Hiya hon, I'm so glad you explained, although I could probably have guessed from your writing style and fabulous compliments ♥ I've put 11/11 in my diary - can't wait!

  3. Well, this is the PERFECT orange for you, Kat. Orange, green and taupe is not a combination I would have even thought of using together, but of course you mastered it to create this stunning eotd! xx
    I would just like to add that as much as I love getting beautiful, encouraging and complimentary comments from you on my blog, I know how busy you are, hun, and so don't expect you to use your precious spare time. (As much as it gives me a thrill to see that you've commented) xx

    1. Aww Indie darling, thanks so much (she said blushing) ♥ Hey there's always time for commenting on your brilliant blog hon, I wouldn't miss it for the world - but sometimes I get behind and have to catch up, so then you probably get a whole heap of spammy emails from Blogger. I'll be better organised next month ♥

    2. Not al all! I love seeing Blogger emails, especially when they're coming from you! xx

    3. Thanks Indie, I'll keep going then ha ha!

  4. I'm a fan of the orange sometimes too. It's either a hit or a miss. The MNY Fierce & Tangy is something I turn to more as it gets hotter.
    That Smashbox #15 is lush! Love it Kat!

    1. It's a super pretty green hey hon - I tend to wear the shades in this palette more in Autumn/Winter because they're a little more subtle, but the blue (# 13) works all year round xxx
