EOTD: Sleek Acid Orange and Blue...

Lol more from Sleek Acid - were these two colours made for each other or what? It's a hue combo I've always been crazy about, and without a doubt, these two particular shadows were meant to be together - neither one overpowers the other, the perfect pairing I'd say ♥

Of course I used essence white kajal for my base on the inner third to let the orange shine - it's actually nowhere near as bright on the skin as it is in the pan, but I reckon down the track I'll make it really pop using an orange cream underneath. For now I'm loving it's softness and subtlety...

Under the blue I used bhcosmetics waterproof eye crayon in Sapphire to give it something to adhere to with a boost - I haven't actually tried any of these pigments on their own to see how long they last without any support, that'll be a later experiment. In the crease is MUA Matte Midnight, and on the waterline I used essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Cool Down...

As you can see I did my usual colour-coordinating thingy with my outfit ha ha - lips are ModelsPrefer High Fashion, topped with Bloom Venezuela gloss, and cheeks are the orange from the essence "blush up" Heat Wave duo...

So gals, is this a colour combo you'd go for?

Take care of you,

LOTD: Warming to Autumn...

Got a bit of an Autumn theme happening at the mo', so here's a toning LOTD. As we get further into the cooler seasons, I tend to go for deeper more ambery or bronzey shades, but as it's still incredibly summery here in Sydney, I'm still favouring lighter brighter hues...

I started with Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay on Lip Contouring Pencil in Clover - love these lip liners. They're only $8.50 and they are nicely opaque and come in a great range of colours...

The lipstick is Bloom Double Take in Brazil - I don't think they make this range any more, which is a pity because the other end of the wand very handily houses a gloss. Didn't use it this time around because the one that comes in this particular set is pale pale apricot, and I wanted something with a bit more oomph...

To make it a bit more pearly, I added Mirenesse Lip Bomb in #28 over the top. This shade is almost metallic when worn alone, but with a straight gloss lippie underneath, it ends up more soft and glowy than anything else...

Although I'm loving this last batch of warm weather, I'm actually looking forward to the change of season, wardrobe and makeup colours :-) Are you getting ready for Autumn?

Take care of you,
