EOTD: Chi Chi Goes to Rio Red and Green...

Well now, here's a blast from the past - dug out my Chi Chi Goes to Rio palette to create this red and green EOTD. The box is almost 3 years old, but you'd never know it - the shadows are just as vibrant and blendable as they were the day I bought them. It was one of the first bold multicoloured collections I ever laid my hands on, and a real treat at the time because the pans are all mattes, and back then I had an almost morbid fear of using shimmers on my wrinkly peepers (can you believe it?). Of course these days I don't give a flying foo about creases and saggy bits, and I'll play with just about anything ha ha...

I've kept this palette in a 5-drawer cabinet all this time, and it just goes to show that storing eyeshadows away from dust, light and temperature extremes can prolong their life. Once again my base was a Maybelline COLORdrama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil - Light It Up. These crayons are SO good under pink, red or orange powders - they almost double the intensity, and keep the whole look in one piece for the whole day...

I pressed the red over the top of the MNY pencil, and blended the green underneath my lower lashline, as well as in the crease. On the waterline I used essence kajal in the shade I Have A Green - such a great match for my eye colour...

Cheeks were one of the more reddish shades from the bhcosmetics 10 Colour Glamorous Blush palette, and on the lips went MUD Matte Lip Cream in Fuchsia, topped with essence Stay With Me LongLasting Lipgloss in Candy Bar...

It's almost a Christmas theme, but by omitting any gold or silver garnish, I reckon I got away with it lol...

Take care of you,
