EoTD: Too Early For Spring

Too Early for Spring

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a look. Heck, it’s been a while since I’ve *done* one!

When Erin suggested these colors, I didn’t think a thing of it. When I got them out and looked at them, I thought: these are all brighter, kind of spring-y. We’re not quite a week past the winter solstice, it’s raining here, snowing most other parts of the country…how am I going to pull this one off?

Quite well, as it turned out.

This look is part of the One Year Eyecolor Challenge (new colors used: 3) and Dance Monkey Mondays (colors Annysia, Kiss, and Manectric chosen by member emac059). Want to see a certain color combination? Just register, leave your colors (up to three) in the comments on that post, and I’ll just keep working through the list.

EoTD: Hearts’ Set

Hearts' Set

Still feeling a bit ill, but not as poorly as I was over Thanksgiving. Today for breakfast I had pumpkin pie and coffee, which is of dubious nutritional value but excellent taste value. :D

EoTD: First Frost(bite)

First Frost(bite)

It took me long enough to get it posted…but, finally! Today it snowed - not the first snow of the season, that was yesterday, but yesterday’s snow had melted by evening. Today’s snow kept falling, and now we’ve got that interesting lighting which is the streetlights, reflected off the snow, and reflected again off of the low clouds. Not a good night to try anything nefarious, because either you’ll be seen or you’ll be hit by some panicked local driver who goes all to pieces when it snows.

EoTD: The Vampire’s Fever-Dream

The Vampire's Fever Dream

It’s been a bit since I posted a look! I did get most of the way through my eyecolor challenge, but ran out of steam…just over 1000 colors used isn’t that bad, but I was severely lacking in the motivation department. This new wrinkle should be fun: every Monday I’ll wear a color combination chosen by site visitors. It will help me finish using my colors, but will also help me put together combinations that you’d like to see, and possibly break out of my own color comfort zone (or creative rut…whichever.)

News, Thoughts, Upcoming Giveaways

More Sephora-y Goodness (or, They've Swallowed My Soul)

I did it, kids. I placed another Sephora F&F order. Yesterday I pulled the trigger on Benefit Cosmetics' Femme Metal kit, and another professional-size tube of UDPP. I know. I'm weak. But...20% off, and free shipping (because the order topped $50, even with the F&F discount.) Glamour Puss is going to have another box to play with in about a week. I took photos of my first Sephora F&F order, but also of Glamour Puss with the box. He had almost as much fun with that packing paper and the box as I did with its contents. I've posted three other photos of him to Twitpic.

FoTD: Spirit Day

Wearing my purple in support of LGBT teens who are bullied (well, in support of everyone who’s bullied, really). Purple eyeshadow, purple eyeliner, purple lip gloss, purple(ish) blush, purple earrings, purple shirt…

EoTD: Could never get the hang of Thursdays

The brother is gone back home, my house is somewhat back in order, and I have a few days’ worth of pictures to post. But I can at least get today’s look posted. I’ve gotten rather accustomed to using five and six colors in a look. Now, two or three colors seems somehow…incomplete. (I’ve also found that I’m more easily able to create a look that uses an odd number of colors, as opposed to an even number, where I have to get a bit creative with placement.) The odd things you learn…

EoTD: Ready for tomorrow

I am not a happy camper today. It isn’t horrific; but it’s just…bleah. I wouldn’t mind taking three or four aspirin, curling up in a fetal ball, and waking up tomorrow. Sadly…there’s the shopping to do. And prepping for my brother’s visit. And feeding the cats. Stuff like that.
