Holiday in the City

This is a BE collection that I bought only for the bag ... and then waited almost a year to use the colours. I had previously tried using Bubbly and it hated me ... so I wasn't too thrilled with these colours ... and purples like Bordeaux tend to look downright BROWN on me so that didn't speed up my enthusiasm either!

But now that I have used it ... I LOVE it! Whoever said you can't mix purples and peaches (heard that alot lately) is missing out! I love combos like this ... and will try to whip up some more in the future!

Enjoy!

Face:

  2. As of right now, the only way I have found to print something is to copy and paste the one you want into a document file on your computer.

    Sorry about that ... so far that is the biggest downside I have found to using the blog instead of the webpage.

  3. Hmm, I haven't had any interest in Bordeaux until now. I will put this on my list of colors to check out. (as if I needed more, you already have me checking out MAC lip products and shadesticks. Great job enabling, Erin. You look fantastic in these colors as well!
