EOTD'S: Purple - Colourpop Dare & Sleek Poptastic...

There's an old saying - "there's more than way to skin a cat". Love it because it reminds me there's usually always another solution to a dilemma, and I needed one for my decidedly sporadic EOTD posts. So starting this month, I'll be posting two at a time, and with a colour theme. And there's no better hue to start with than...PURPLE, and there's no better purple shadow in my kit than Colourpop Dare...


This fabulous eye shadow has starred in quite a few of my looks (examples here & here), and is it any wonder? She's just plain gorgeous - a pinky purple pigment with aqua sparkles, which combine to give an overall bluish purple result. Turns out a bit different every time I play, depending on the base I use - this one was Face of Australia Budgeproof Gel Eyeliner. It has no name on the container, but it's a stunning magenta-ish purple that seems to have been discontinued (sob!). On the waterline is Eye of Horus Teal Malachite Goddess Pencil 


Face was Maybelline Super Stay 24H Fresh Look Longwear Foundation (love it!), on the cheeks was Savvy Cheek & Lip Colour in Satin Magenta, and lips were my fave hot pink lippie, BOE Beauty Shocking Matte Pink...


And here's the jewellery I chose to go with the outfit...



This second EOTD features the other side of the purple fence - pink purple. I used to wear this particular shade nuance most of all, but now that my hair is not so red, I'm finding the blue purples are more flattering. Interesting hey? My skin is the same colour, and yet just changing my hair has taken me from favouring warm hues to the cooler ones. Both the purple and blue shadows are from the Sleek Poptastic palette ...


Once again I used the FOA purple gel eyeliner as my base, and on the waterline was Eye of Horus Scarab Sapphire Goddess Pencil...


My foundation was Mirenesse Liquid Silk, cheeks were Real Purity Frosted Orchid Powder blush, and my lippie was MBA Cosmetics Heliotrope...


Just as well I have some pinky purple accessories hey...


I'm so looking forward to putting together my next double eye look post - haven't decided what the colour theme will be, but I've quite a variety stashed away to choose from, and you know me, it's bound to be bold 

Take care of you,

  1. Both eyes & both lips are amazing! I really love that top pendant! I love the silver tracery. You look like you've coloured up a lot over the summer.

    1. Thanks treasure - have had that pendant for over 20 years, it's fluorite, and has a massive flaw, but I love it because it's not perfect ♥

    1. Bella my dear, I do have quite a bit of a jewellery collection, although most of it is the cheap costume variety. I was burgled many years ago and they took all my good stuff - boo! But hey there's so much around these days, and I'm fortunate too that my parents know of my passion, and they always find things I love xxx
