Hallelujah it's Friday! I'm not jumping for joy just because it's the weekend (and I'm out of the office for two days!), but also for the fact that I get to spend (well hopefully) three nights with you my lovelies, catching up on my precious blogging ♥ And I'm starting this round with some looks in what's turning out to be my favourite colour this season - OLIVE GREEN. Lots of clobber available in the stores at the mo' in this shade, and I'm embracing it big time. Also thought these two EOTD's might be of interest as I used the same main shadow for both, but they turned out quite differently because of the accompaniments...
This first one is from back in February (which is why my hair is looking somewhat vibrant lol). My base was Eye of Horus Serpentine Sultry Goddess Pencil, and the shadow I used for both was bhcosmetics MM4 - love this one as it's matte, and that's always a bonus with my particular eye shape as it doesn't transfer onto my hoods. I added a light sweep of Kat Von D Summerfly (gold) from the Monarch palette (soon to be discontinued - boo) over the top for some glisten and gleam, and used Eye of Horus Bronze Amulet Goddess Pencil on the waterline...
And for the first time in over a year, I forgot to note down what foundation I was wearing (seniors moment), but my lipstick was Lol Bronze Age, and on my cheeks was Lacura Mosaic Baked Blush Bronzer in Beach Babe. Please pardon the awfully grainy pic - camera crisis..
Look No.2 was from yesterday, and I was much happier with the result. Started with Revlon Colorstay Eye Liner in the shade Jade - a long forgotten crayon, and one that's now been promoted to the "use these regularly" jar on my bench. The olive shadow went over that, and I darkened the outer corner with bhcosmetics MS14, a very pretty deep blue, also a matte...
Used the Revlon Jade liner on my waterline too, and what a lovely surprise - it lasted almost the whole day!
So here's where my hair colour is at the moment - nowhere near as colourful, and with some highlights. Still a work in progress though, may go a wee bit more intense, but I'm fairly close to being content (for the time being anyway ha ha). Foundation was Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr, cheeks were bhcosmetics Iris, and lips were Milani Cinnamon Spice...
And I couldn't WAIT to show off my fabulous new necklace from Lovisa - a bargain at their current sale, this was $34.99 but I only handed over $15. I'm totally besotted with their woven glass bead necklaces - last count I had six of them, in various colours of the rainbow, and I've had my eye on this stunning blue beauty for over a year. Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey...
Well that's it for now - wishing you all a truly relaxing and restorative weekend, and I'll be back with you soon ♥
Take care of you,
kats xxx
Kats you are so stylish and fabulous!!! You make me want to go have a play with green shadows as you make it look so awesome
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so sweet and kind Monique - thanks so much hon ♥ Can't help myself, just love experimenting with colours xxx
DeleteI love stalking Lovisa products until they're on sale. There is a multi-coloured crystal necklace I have been eyeballing for some time . . .
ReplyDeleteOoooh I have everything crossed you can get it at a bargain price Beth - I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've been in their store and NOT bought anything, I swear the cash desk computer wakes up as soon as I walk in lol ♥
DeleteIts look like green eye shadows are made for you, they really work well with your green eyes. I never tried them, I do not think it will suit me, I have black eyes.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Faiza. Oooh black eyes, how beautiful, I'm envious, I would have thought you'd be able to wear any colour ♥♥♥
DeleteOh that blue Lovisa necklace is just amazing! (What you call olive green I call khaki.) The Lol Bronze Age lippy: is that colour true to life? That's really unusual! Is that the Lol from Kmart? I've got a few of their eyeshadow palettes.
ReplyDeleteFair enough hon - I personally don't like even using the word khaki, in my head I always hear it it as kacky lol! Yes it's LOL from Kmart, the pic from the other page where you spotted it is more accurate. All my lOTD photos are taken using my white makeup light whereas my face pics are bathroom + flash, and together they produce far more unreliable results (but less wrinkles ha ha) xxx
DeleteI can't stand the American "kacky" either, I say it like car key, ha ha. I'm definitely off to Kmart to check out that lippy!
DeleteHa ha I say car-key too - to me kacky means yucky. Hope you can find the lipstick hon ♥
