yes, i know it's too hot to be wearing a hoodie and leggings, but i will get suburnt if i wear a sundress.

on a day where regular people would be going to the ocean, i decided to try kandee's "Ocean Eyes" - kandeethemakeupartist.blogspot.com - PLEASE watch her videos, i love her and she is amazing :)

once again, i managed to blend out the brightness of the colour that i used :( i think this is because i don't pack enough colour on when i apply it at the start.  i really was not happy with this look in the process of doing it, but once the mascara went on, it was ok :)

there is an incredible amount of glitter and sparkle in urban decay eyeshadow - the ones i used are in the Alice In Wonderland Book of Shadows (all the colours are renamed regular Urban Decay shadows) - i ended up with a heap of glitter all over my face because all the shadows i used were from this palette.  for this reason, i am glad that for the first time ever i applied my eye make-up before my foundation, so i could clean it up!

• apply Alice (bright mid blue) mixed with Absolem (bright mid green) with a flat brush to the eyelid, into a rough corner aimed at the end of the eyebrow

• blend that with Absolem on its own up over the brow-bone, to just under the eyebrow, pulling the colour out to the end of the eyebrow

• blend the top line up to the eyebrow with Midnight Tea Party (sparkly gold)

• using a wet angle brush, draw line the top lashes with Mushroom (dark taupe)

• using your bullet brush, smudge Mushroom mixed with Vorpal (slate mid grey) under the lower lashes, all the way across

• i used the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On eye pencil in Zero (black) to line my lower rim

• lots of black Diorshow Blackout!

• cheeks are MAC bronzer in Golden (always!) along/under cheekbones and Chanel Irreelle Blush in Pink Cloud in rough circles on the 'apples' (i hate fruit, so that's very hard for me to say - hence the inverted commas)

• lips are an old Maybelline goldy-pink with MAC Lady Danger (bright red) to sharpen up the edges, particularly the top bow
  

i get told to colour-in my eyebrows all the time, so i thought i'd try it, just so we could see the difference.  i used MAC Coppering eye shadow and my bullet brush, so it's a really quick, not-precise method.

i think i look like a clown with my eyebrows coloured-in, so i couldn't help myself with this expression - does anybody remember The Rock from WWE ?  i am a bit of a wrestling nerd because of my boyfriend.

can you smell what The Rock is cooking ?
