Froggie went a-courtin'

I did this look for this weeks Inspiration game at Majyk and I love the colour combo ... not happy with the dots ... they really messed with me all day! Everytime I looked in the mirror today I thought I had smudged my eye liner something horrible :D

I worked on my brows last night too ... got really annoyed with tweezing because I have the worst household lighting on the planet and finally just broke out the wax strips. I got the bottom cleaned up enough to be happy until I can make it in to get them reshaped. Yay!

Enjoy!

Tempting

DISCLAIMER: I HAVE HORRIBLE BROWS RIGHT NOW!

I swear it is like they multiplied over night ... definitely time for a waxing but I don't have time this week so I am going to get after it with the tweezers pronto! I didn't realize how bad they were until I uploaded these pics ... oy vey!!!

Anyways ... finally doing a look with this quad. I love the darkest brown in this quad, Dark Edge. It is such a great crease colour and a nice neutral brown. I also love that it is a satin texture ... one of my faves. The green gets rave reviews, but on me it tends to go yellow so I don't love it as much as some people do.

I also tried the much touted combo of Lollipop Loving l/s and Springbean l/g ... several ladies on Specktra have been raving about this combo but I am not so sure I like it ... almost looks sickly to me :D

Enjoy!

Inter-view Double Dose

I got this MES earlier this week from a Specktra seller (Mac_Mocha ... highly recommend her!) along with Magnetic Fields e/s and Spanking Rich d/g and I love all of them.

The MES is particularly cool but I couldn't decide how to wear it so I did it two ways. My dear lovely friend Tish wore it with the brown in the crease and the blue on the lid and it looked great on her ... so I did it the other way first and then her way next and I have to say I like her way better though both are good.

Enjoy!

Stray

Katie (smooches) got me a Stray Grey paint pot at her CCO and I have to say it is completely not what I expected. It is still great ... but not really grey. It is the only thing I have ever seen that is close to the colour of BE Soho eyeshadow if that tells you anything ... really really wearable and pretty.

I have a friggin' cold sore on my lip ... so please excuse ... I tried to cover it but it was somewhat unsuccessful.

Enjoy!
