Four work EOTD's and an apology



This was my favourite work look of the past week, for which I asked my dad for a colour combination and went from there. I think he's got great taste! I used mostly Sugarpill products (Dollipop, Flamepoint, Tipsy and Absinthe), Illamsqua Trollop (matte peach) and my new Skinbase foundation. When I started out wearing lots of eye make-up I wouldn't have ever thought foundation could get me excited. Not in a million years. I didn't know how natural it could look, Skinbase has not disappointed me. Yeah... now I'm hooked, I would like to try Estee Lauder Doublewear, MAC Face and Body and Chanel Vitalumiere at some point. (Oooh. Fancy!)

This is just a post of a few work looks and a little apology for being slow on posting at the minute. I am of course grateful to every person who follows my blog, especially to those who comment quite regularly, I feel like this should go without saying. My excuse is that I had a couple of weeks of action packed adventures and I always seem to feel a bit down when things go back to routine. Also, I've not been too proud of any one look hence this big dump-bin style post. (4 for the price of 1?)

I'm not posting all products used, but I'll add a little caption for each look.


My take of the make-up heroes take on the Make-up Geeks reverse smokey eye thingy. I liked it better before I added the crease colour. This mainly used the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary palette.

These two looks (above and below) used MAC Chromaline in Marine Ultra as bases. The top look features Sugarpill Royal Sugar as a lid colour patted over the Chromaline. I finally have an easy way of using Royal Sugar and it was worth every penny. 

 This look used the same technique, packing MAC Motorhead eyeshadow over the same Chromaline. Blue in crease and green on inner corner from NARS Rated R duo.


Thanks for sticking around, if you have. I have re-blued my hair today, which may help me shake the funk.
