    I should’ve done Parrot under my lower lashes, not sure why I didn’t?! I didn’t realize Amber Lights was so orange-y, or so it appeared today. Still a neat look. Still plugging away on my journal of looks I need to try!!

I was going out with a few friends, and it was about 20 degrees out, so quite chilly! So I figured this would be the chance to try out Warm Chill. The “Shop Your Stash” thread on specktra has really pushed me to start using stuff that I have never touched before, and Warm Chill, Bottle Green, and Goldmine were 3 products I had yet to use.
