I am continuing to shop my stash. Yes, I know I have three LEs which I haven’t touched yet – not even to swatch for you patient readers who have requested swatches… but at the moment, I’m finding it more fun to shop my stash and see what new looks I can come up with.

These TSS colors are all available in the regular collection except for Dueling Divas which is from the custom palette.

One of my gfs commented that since I have a sizable area above my crease I should use it. So I’m trying to extend the limits of my color application. LOL!

My color mojo is kinda back. If you notice, I’m using a lot more colors again. But its fun to really get back to blending and mixing things up.

Lashes used were Ardell’s Demure. I did tell my other gf that I didn’t like them… well, surprise, surprise, fickle Fr0nd actually does. They significantly up the volume of my lashes while not being long enough to hit the lenses of my glasses. So I’ll probably be looking into getting a couple more of this model.

Enough talk… on to the eotd!

Monistat – base
NYX JEP in Pacific – all over lid and smudged up
TSS Dueling Divas (custom) – inner lid
TSS Pom Pom Chic – mid lid
TSS Matyr Girl – out lid & crease
TSS Empty Promise (one of my fav purples) – above the crease
TSS Moonlight Whimsy (another old fav) – highlight
MM liquid e/liner in black
Dayna’s Minerals Just Browsing Black – brows
Ardell’s Demure lashes

with flash – pls excuse the oiliness, this was taken at night after a very long day

my own thoughts are that I really should move the lashes inwards… they’re way too long at the outer corners and make everything look droopy. But given that I had already spent 45 mins (just on lashes) trying to get this look together, I was too frustrated to pull them off and start over for the fifth time. Will try to do better the next round.

and one with my eldest who has become a four eyed monster just recently :(

finally, just a word to let you know that I’ll try to blog at least twice a week for the next four weeks. But no promises. Its the school holidays and that means mummy is on the “go go go” – much less “me” time to play with my colors :)

til the next time, stay beautiful!

Felt kinda greenish brown today. So shopped my stash and this is what I came up with. *all e/s from the LE collection unless indicated)

Monistat – base
NYX JEP in French Fries – all over lid
TSS Saw the Angel – inner lid
TSS Warm and Fuzzy (may be a blush.. I dunno) – mid lid
TSS Lost Moss – outer corner/crease
TSS Risked It All and Won – above the crease
TSS Scatter Brain (regular) – highlight
Dayna’s Minerals in Browsin’ Black for brows

Been playing with false eyelashes so decided to start showing my experiments off. This is Ardell’s Invisilash Babies.

please excuse the floppy outer corner. I still can’t get it done right. Annoying. I know I have a learning curve to conquer but learning anything just sucks sometimes. Sigh.

Any helpful pointers from people who’ve been there done that would be extremely appreciated!!

And finally here’s a ‘rare’ full fotd… see my lovely lashes. :)

Usual suspects:

Blend of SN perfecting powder, date bait, foundation and CS’ silica
SN’s Climax blusher
no lippie.. hadn’t got that far when I took pics :P

Monistat – base
MM cream e/s in yellow – all over from lashline to brow bone
TSS Living with Flowers (LE Storybook) – whole lid – patted on
TSS Filling in the Blanks (LE Storybook) – outer 1/3 and slight crease
TSS Unicorns in Love (LE Storybook) over NYX JEP in blackbean as liner

Here’s another rather simple look I did using one of my few MAC pigments gifted to me by a dear friend.

I can’t remember exactly what Capricon (TSS) colors I used and the picture isn’t clear. Sigh… definitely used MAC Violet as my liner.

Love the vividness of this color… gotta play with it more. :)

This was a look I did two Saturdays ago… April 18th… I was still on my green streak… so here’s more greens…

Monistat – base
NYX JEP in horse raddish – all over lid and smudged
TSS Beyond Skin Deep (LE LiveInspired) – highlight
TSS Buddha Kiss (LE Twinkle) – inner 1/3 lid
TSS Broken Mind (LE Twinkle) – mid 1/3 lid
TSS Be the FairyTale (LE Cindy) – outer 1/3 lid & crease
TSS Native of Nature (LE Live Inspired) – outer v
MM liquid liner in black
DM’s Just Browsing Brown - brows
no mascara

and specially for my Vox friends only... a rare fotd that I'm actually happy with... showing my new haircut :)

I can't remember exactly what I had on but definitely SN Climax blush and foundation, MMBB's eye brightener and I think SN's Raindrops on Roses but I can't be certain.

This is an eotd from a day when I just wanted a bit of a pick me up without doing the full works. I wore no foundation and no lippie. Just a light layer of SN’s perfecting powder. It was really just about a simple eye to brighten up a dull face.

Monistat – base
Silkygirl liner in Ocean – liner
TSS Feast for the Eyes – patted onto the ocean liner
TSS Consult the Heavens – crease (I did it in the eye socket area.. not my actual crease)
SN Perfecting Powder – all over the eye
Brows – Just browsing black from DM

Actually only added the contour color later when I felt the look needed a little something more. Consult the Heavens just helped define and added dimension to an otherwise flat look.

after I posted the Cindy swatches way back in Feb, a girlfriend messaged me asking me to try Be the Fairytale and Dragon Breathe… well, its taken me this long to give them a try… :P

MM cream shadow in yellow – base
TSS dragon breathe (LE Cindy) – inner 1/2 lid, lower outer liner
TSS be the fairytale (LE Cindy) – outer 1/2 lid, lower inner liner
TSS rescue yourself (LE Cindy) – crease

this was done at 11am

and at midnite…

impressions :

MM’s cream shadow didn’t last my 12 hour day.. LOL! I may use monistat under the cream shadow the next round and see if that would work better.

However, I do have to point out that all the creasing happened at the inner corners. The outer lid area was still lovely and fresh. So maybe my inner corners were oilier? I don’t really know.
