Aqua eyes.

My first "grown-up" eye palette is the Feminine eye palette by Urban Decay. I love it. In fact, it was sadly being discontinued when I bought it, and we had to go to 2 different stores to find it. But I still love it. My favorite shadows are: "Midnight Cowboy" and "SWF aka single white female". Love THEM! Newho I tried to use a different shade to go along with them today.


Shadows: Midnight Cowboy on brow line, SWF on lid, and Aquarious in my "V" and under the bottom lashes. The eye liner is Almay's black liquid liner.

After looking at the pictures after some time, I realized it aqua is not as bright as I thought. Oh well. Better luck next time.

How it Began

It all started in December when I met up with some friends in Texas. It's their fault!! Not mine! I bought my first grown up eye palette, and we experimented with eye shadows.  I loved feeling like a movie star! with sparkles and colors surrounding my eyes.  LOVE IT!!  Then I went back home and used the same "experimental" eye shadow combination that worked.  After about six months, I think it shall be called my norm.  :) ...

Then... I watched Marple (on Netflix).  I LOVED the makeup in the 1950's.  The women looked so glamourous!  Being the modern age woman I am I looked up how-to on You Tube!  yay!  I "learned" how to do it with some tips from a friend, and voila, I was as close to the glamour as I could with my tools.  Hehe.


Well then I caught the eye palette bug for real and have been watching videos trying to learn how to look my best.  :)  I went out an bought another palette and am planning on getting another one soon.  I know, I know, I will try really hard to space the buying out especially to play around with each palette to its fullest!!
Here I used: Loreal matte eye duo, Almay liquid liner in Black, Loreal Collegen Mascara in Black, and Cherry Red lip butter by Revlon.


My basic foundation is Bare Minerals Fairly Light with Bare Radiance unless I state otherwise.
