EOTD: L.A. Colors Venus...

I'm way overdue for another purply pink EOTD. I couldn't decide whether to tag this as lilac, lavender, mauve or even orchid, so in the end it was much easier to NOT go with any of the usual pale purple shade names, and I went for wisteria, that glorious Spring flowering beauty who can be pink or purple, or any shade in between...


This is another of my "old" palettes that I downright adore, by L.A.Colors - how could I not with a name like Venus, and with so many gorgeous hues that work so beautifully together  If you ever see this little baked darling, then she's well worth the investment (I paid $6.99)...


I struggled a bit to clean her up for this photo shoot, and in the process managed to snap the lid off, but she'll be fine safely tucked away in my drawer...


This is the first time I've used every one of the four pans in the one look, and I'm feeling such a duffer because they are all so complementary. I started with a base of essence white kajal, and then applied the palest lilac along the lashline. Next was the pink blended into the purply pink, and I finished with the boldest purple on the outer corner, and underneath the lower lashline. 

In the crease I added tealy blue Orbit from the Sleek V2 matte palette, and lined the waterline with essence kajal in Love Me Lavender... 


And here's the whole outfit, complete with my precious Lovisa heart pendant and matching earrings. Lips are Revlon Lavendare with Mirenesse 3D gloss in Tease over the top. Hmmm, time to crack open the fake tan tube I reckon...


I was shattered when I discovered that the only shop where I could buy L.A.Colors products was given a makeover, and now they don't stock it any more - bah humbug! But I guess there's always the website...


Take care of you,

  1. Perfect coordination as usual, the bling looks familiar!
    The LA Colours palette looks similar to the W7 ones.

    1. Ha ha yes neurotic, that Lovisa heart is a treasure ♥ I find the pigmentation of the L.A.Colors palettes more consistent than the W7 ones - they all have the occasional dud pan as far as pigmentation is concerned, but the majority of the LA palettes I have are brilliant xxx
