So… who’s gonna join me… *checks wallet for cash*

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!

Monistat

Mesh and Lace

Prince to Pauper

You Cheat I Win

Knights Trump Dwarves

Moonlight whimsey (?)

No Mascara

I used Nonapplicable's cow eye liner brush wet to apply the liner... it works like a charm... really nice thin line. *happy happy*

as usual, please click through for bigger pics. :)

 

 

 

Here are some eotds from the last week or so... been using mostly TheSheSpace's Cindy LE colors (which are being sold again!!!)... all using Monistat as a base with varied NYX jumbo eye pencils too... can't remember which ones I used tho. I think I shld take pics of those too. (the notebook keeps walking off) Liners are mostly e/s using NYX jep blackbean as a base. I find tat makes the line stay on longer without smudging.

as usual, please click on pics for bigger versions ^^

20 Nov - Fairy Dust Frenzy, Fairest of Them All, Three Evil Chicks

19 Nov - She Does Sparkle, Midnight at the Palace, Proven Fabulous (lovely lovely color!), Keys to the Castle

18 Nov - Over Coiffed, Killer Coutre, Midnight at the Palace

16 Nov - orphaned look... I have no idea what I used!

16 Nov - MMBB 4 Leaf Clover, Antiquity, Mistletoe (love this especially as a liner!)
the little brush in the picture was part of the set of brushes Duck helped me get... its so great for wet lining! But not for patting on e/s on top of my blackbean.
14 Nov  - Sweet like Sugar, Laughing Outcast, Twisted Pyschic, Resisted Anxiety, Root of Evil

6 Nov - Shadow Knows, Boogie on Man
was experimenting here... its basically one shade all over the eye... then I used blackbean to line the lashline. Used my Forever Female pencil brush to smudge the darker shade into the line drawn... I guess I'd use this on days where I don't want to play with colors... the brush is a little too thick to get the kind of smudged effect I was hoping for... will be looking out for smaller sized brush heads ^^

3 Nov - Be Who You Are, Enough Said, Tattered Guru, Fleeting Wisdom (from Stone's Throw LE collection)

for those who are curious... the little round purple stickers on my bags of samples just indicate to me that I've tried this color... I am making myself get to the point where *all* my samples will have that sticker. Until then, I'll probably be going on a no buy... :(

unless Heather comes up with even more collections... somehow, I can say no to everyone but Heather... so Heather... please please have pity on my wallet!

I've watched so many youtube videos where they do a rainbow eye look. Always thought to myself... wah... so difficult...

Anyways, got really bored sometime last week I think... can't remember now... so went through my book of colors and pulled out a yellow (Moonlight and Miracles),a pink (Halos and Horns),  a green (Make Believe), a blue (Electric Lust) and a purple (Twisted Psychic).

Here's what I came up with... all with Monistat as a base. Highlighted with Snowcapped. Tight lined with Enemy Mine. No Mascara

I may just try this again soon ^^

I'm really considering getting some stuff from TSS before the sale ends on the 15th. Please please please help me not to 'maximise' shipping costs and end up with even more colors for my collection.

anyone who's got anything they're planning to buy... wanna combine? let me know via PM k?

thanks so much in advance!!!

gee.. I seem to be doing looks inspired by people on Vox now... its really good though because sometimes I just get tired of coming up with my own combos. LOL!

so today's look (what I'm wearing this minute!) is a combo of five colors that Helen expressed interest in. The funny thing is that it 1) gave me a chance to try out colors I haven't and 2) made me look at some colors I really am not too interested in. For some reason, I find myself constantly looking for that 'pop' of color in every look. So today au'natural eotd is going back to basics... sorta... didn't use any colored base so the colors come out truer... at least I hope.

Here's today's colors - Beyond Skin Deep, Live Unscripted, Love's Rhythm, All for Fabulous and No More Bore (click through for bigger pics)

Monistat
TSS Love's Rhythm (LE) - patted on lid
TSS No More Bore (LE) - crease
TSS Live Unscripted (LE) - swished above the crease and a little above it on the outer corner
TSS Beyond Skin Deep (LE) - just under the brow arch (kinda hard to see the effect in the photos but in real life, it really brightened up the look)
TSS All for Fabulous (LE) - foiled - lined
no mascara - giving my lashes a holiday!

so...  can No More Bore be used as a crease color. Definitely... worked for me. You're not gonna get a smokey eye look but more of a natural darker shade.

all five colors are definitely beautiful neutrals.... if I had to choose my fav I think it'd be Love's Rhythm... its a lovely greyish/silverish/browny shade. Wouldn't mind using that all over my eye to be honest. :)

The funny thing about Helen's comments was that I had just used No More Bore the day before she posted. So this is Saturday's (25th Oct) eotd.

Monistat
TSS No More Bore (LE) - patted on lid
TSS A Girl Like Me (LE) - swished over the rest of the eye
TSS Knights Trump Dwarves (LE - Cindy) over NYX JEP Blackbean - liner

A while back, when I placed an order with TSS for their Fall LE collection - Live Inspired - I included some random other colors so as to maximize my shipping dollar. After browsing through Heather's amazing color collection, I still couldn't decide so handed the decision for a couple of colors to Lisa. Her first pick was Funky Chicken. Its a color I would have never picked myself but hey... mmu is all about exploration and trying new stuff right?

well, the color's arrived... so here are two eotds using FC as the 'main' color... hope you like them

FUNKY CHICKEN jiving with MMBB!

Monistat - base
NYX JEP in Yoghurt - lid
TSS Funky Chicken - patted onto lid
MMBB Woodrose Glow - crease
MMBB Chameleon Gold - highlight
MMBB Black Magic - foiled - liner
no mascara

Personally, woodrose glow was just totally wrong for this look... but I didn't have another MMBB color that would have worked.. hmm.. actually I should try it with Smokey Green... oh and I need a better highlight color too. Chameleon Gold was way too gold. What you see in the pics is it with a sheer layer of woodrose glow over.

Funky Chicken rhumba-ing with TSS

Monistat - base
NYX JEP in gold - lid
TSS Funky Chicken - patted on lid
TSS Makes Me Giggle (Custom piggie collection) - crease
TSS Beyond Skin Deep (Fall LE) - highlight
TSS Anti-Establishment (Fall LE) - foiled - liner
no mascara

without flash

Personally, I like this look with the green liner.. it was more exciting to me.

*edited to add* love love love Beyond Skin Deep.. its my skin tone but with a slight sparkle... lovely lovely.. I can see using this all over my lid on days when I don't want too many colors. Just plain lovely... 

Now that I've tried a color that is 'not me' and made it work, I think I'd be more willing to step even further out of my comfort zone. I've got three palattes that are calling my name. I still haven't used any of them. Sigh..

Which look do you ladies prefer? and anyone got any color requests? I'd be happy to try :)
