Day Thirteen/Fourteen: Double Dose!

Uhoh… guess what I forgot to do again yesterday?  I took pictures and everything.  Anyway, less typing, more makeup!  If you have a Body Shop near you, I highly recommend their Matte It face primer.  It costs $30 for a tube about an index and a half in volume.  You barely need to use any; I get smooth and full primer cover from using about half the size of a 10c piece!

Now, here are the looks for today and yesterday.  Let me know what you think.

Day Twelve: Lavender Grey

Went shopping (again!) today and spent too much (again!) on things.  I got new sheets in a pretty mint green for winter- a bargain, considering they were half price... and I got a ChiChi blush and eyeshadow dust for $5 each- a REALLY great bargain- but that's where they end.  I got a graphite/silicon/ionised QVS tail comb, the 'Matte It' primer from the Body Shop,  a Natio lip balm (with jojoba, honey and cocoa butter), and no doubt wasted my money on some weight management products I've been meaning to try for a while.

Today's makeup comes entirely from the blackbox palette, and is just a mixture of the lavender and the grey shades that are in it.  Let me know what you think.

Day Eleven: Jaguar Green

Having a family friend over for a casual dinner tonight, but it could be my nonna coming for dinner and I'd still put my face on, haha.  Anyway, I've had a pretty boring Easter Sunday; one of my roleplaying buddies is online but doesn't feel like it, and the other hasn't been online since Wednesday or so, and she owes me a post.  GRR.

Today's makeup is inspired by a beautiful car, an amazing Jaguar XKE from 1974.  I love that signature Jaguar green colour, adn there just happens to be a shade similar in the new eyeshadow palette I got!  So excited, I just had to try it out after seeing a Jag in this colour yesterday.  Let me know what you think!

Day Ten: Accidentally Farrah

Had drinks last night... or at least, I was meant to.  Unfortunately, only my friend and his parents came (which is fine because they're awesome), but I was really looking forward to a few drinking games and a hangover this morning.  Anyway, that was probably a good thing anyway, considering I have gastroenteritis... very unpleasant.

On the other hand, here's my makeup from last night.  I meant to get volume in my hair, but I rolled the velcro curlers the wrong way, so I ended up with Farrah hair!  Oops.  I tried out the new makeup set I got last night; it's Blackbox, and an eyeshadow kit with about... 64 or so colours, I think.  There are matte, frosted and shimmer ones, so for only $15NZD, it's a pretty good steal!  Let me know what you think of the makeup.

Day Nine: Almost Typically Vintage

Yesterday, I wasn't able to spare the horrors of having my face cleansed, so my makeup only lasted a few hours before it was gone.  Bummer.  Anyway!

Today's look is as vintage as I can manage while still keeping to the few makeup rules we have on the course.  The most annoying one is 'no red lipstick' which completely defeats the possibility for a classical vintage look.  It's been so long since I've used a liquid liner, I'm surprised I managed to put it on okay!  Let me know what you think.
