Blogroll and Schtuff

This is just a quick update to say I finally added a blogroll with my favourite blogs at the bottom of the page (it may move to the side at a later date, let me know what you think). If there's anyone awesome I forgot to add (or anyone you think I should follow) go ahead and comment. Here's some bonus make-up photos to show what I have been feeling comfortable in recently.

I've been focusing more on lips...



This Urban Decay Naked Palette based look is the only eyeshadow look I have worn this week. Mostly I have even gone without mascara! I suppose a bright blue eyebrow and bright pink (Atomic from Illamasqua is bright by my scared-of-lipstick standards) is, in actuality, quite a lot of make-up. I wore it to work and confused everyone - "Have you done something different?" - They couldn't figure it out! I would never have thought I could love pink lipstick but here I am.

Overall I'm scared of lipstick because I have snaggletooths (well... full-on vampire fangs) which make it hard to apply (wobbling over the fangs - trying not to slip) and it usually gets on them at least a bit throughout the day (even with that finger trick)... Anyway, I have broken free and am radically (in my mind) wearing lipstick in my everyday life. It's quite liberating and exciting for me - a whole new thing to obsess about the way I do about eye make-up and nail polish! But don't worry, you know the eye obsession will never fade.


I wore Russian Red by MAC two days straight this week (above with Cherry lipliner and Sleek Pout Paint in Pin-Up on top and below without the Pout Paint). I love it.


Today my lips felt extra chappy because of the lipstick extravagance (seriously, it stayed on all day, with only one touch-up each time, I was so proud) therefore I wore Clinique Chubby Stick in Chunky Cherry instead.


 For anyone who missed it Inglot is now online in the UK and MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. Shame I spent all my spending money this month *grumble grumble* I cannot wait for my MAC Morange lipstick to arrive. Orange and blue are overall my favourite colours. I am going to be complimentary all up in my grill. Yeah!

  1. I think the side might stretch the page a bit less. Just a thought!

    Once again, so jealous of your winging skills.
