Let's plunder the plum tree!

I'm in the mood for make up experiments at the moment and tried out somethig new today.

All you need is a plum, a dark greyish brown and a pink. I used two colours from the Covergirl vivid green palett, the plum on the left and the pink second from right. The brown I used is my beloved Art Deco 218. And of course mascara, I almost never leave the house without mascara.

I applied the pink all over my eylid, then the brown on the lower half of it. The plum was used as eyelinr all round my eye.

Caramel macchiato in the garden

I don't know why I suddenly was so in the mood for some brown make up on Saturday. Well, most of my make up are brown, but normally it is a greyish brown, not a orangish caramel one. I was quite glad that I haven't binned the perticular eye shadow as I binned some stuff I've never used a while ago. But I found it and used it together with some of the things from the Catrice Sydney and Berlin Collection.

I used some of the Sydney Collection Bondi Beach eyeshadow all over my eyelid and up to the brows and then the Art Deco one round my eye (I applied it with an eyeliner brush) and on the eyelid. Some of the Harbour Bridge came into the eye crease and I blended it up a bit.

Art Deco shopping

First day of my holiday. My night was short, wasn't able to sleep before two in the morning and woke up at five again. So was a bit tired and lazy all day. After noon I decided to go to the nearest shopping center, mainly because there is a sushi take away. But of course I also did some shopping.

I got a lipstick from the Art Deco Dita von Teese limited edition and a Mineral powder foundation. The lipstick is number 645, a lovely, pinkish red, best described as fuchsia. It gives a very smooth finish and looks ok for ages. I ate and drank and only noticed that it faded a bit, but it still looked neat and nice. And the bit I applied on the back of my hand as swatch still haven't really gone away after washing my hands at least five times.

I also like the Mineral powder foundation, this one is number 4, which is quite a bit darker than number 3. I use number 3 for the winter months but now it is too fair for me, I look a bit ghostly-pale when I put it on. I normally use a liquid foundation by Catrice or the matte mouse by Maybelline and then some powder (the cheap 1.99£ one from Natural Collection at Boots which takes ages to use up) but when it has to go quickly I love the powder foundation as it is two products in one.

There was just one small downside of my shopping. I was quite sure that the lipstick was labeled with 19.90 franks, though in the end it was 29.900 (which I only noticed when I was back home, otherwise I would have asked) and there was not pricetag on the powder... As I didn't asked.... It was 49.90.... If I'd knew that I don't think I bought it.... But well! They last forever, most likely much longer than my liquid foundation of which I always bin quite a bit as I'm not able to get it out of the bottle.

Meet Mrs R

I always like to see the makeup of others as it is a nice inspiration and I always learn something new. But unfortunately I'm not able to get a nice picture of my own makeup. Don't ask me why, I tried it with all my cams and in various lights but it never worked and you don't see any colour on the pictures... So I decided to try it with makeup charts and been creative for a bit.
