EOTD: Emerald #1...

One of my favourite colours in the whole wide world - EMERALDthe PANTONE Colour of the Year 2013. Delightfully vibrant and uplifting in any season, but especially stunning (and appropriate) for Spring. And it just so happens it's the personal fave of a very special friend who's getting married next week :-)

So jatz honey, this look is especially for you in honour of your impending joyous partnership. Hope the big day is a glorious one, long may you and your fella love, and may the GREEN bird of happiness sing forever outside your window :-)

  4. That MUA pearl shadow is GORGEOUS! But the fact that its being used on the perfect set of eyes makes it even more of a pretty shade :) love these colours, I think I might have to get myself that green FOA shadow...

    1. Sweet Sarah you're an angel :-) Can recommend the FOA Poison Ivy - in my opinion it's the best colour from the range. You should have seen me in Priceline with all the swatches completely covering my hand!
