Purple smokey eye

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Ooo, I love it!  Once again, another look off my super awesome list of combinations to try… which I will try to get posted as a page after I’m done adding all the stuff into My Collection page. Moving to a wordpress format has been so nice, I’m loving it!  Definitely a lot more flexibility in layout and content.

Some thoughts…

1) 217 oh how I love you!  I can’t believe I ever said I didn’t see the point in you on specktra.net!

2) It’s Parfait AMOUR not ARmour *smacks forehead*  I just recently stumbled upon that discovery… can I claim it’s because French words aren’t my thing!?  At least it’s not as bad as me calling Slip Pink “Pink Slip” for the past two years…

3) I wonder what my classmates think when I walk into class with makeup like this… Considering only a small fraction even seem to have mascara on, I wonder if I’m a sight to see with dramatic smokey looks for school…

1021closeup3*squeeeee* I love it.  I don’t know why, I guess I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.  Thank goodness for a 217 brush!

However, I can’t decide if the look needs some eyeliner on my upper lashes… I avoid lining looks as sometimes it ruins everything, but sometimes it’s needed.  I just don’t know…
