EOTD: Hair Dye Gone Wrong (Sort Of)

Thought I would revist the 80s by bleaching the very life out of my hair (and the Crazy Colour Fire) and it went a bit wrong (sort of). It's not that it went completely wrong, per se, it just wasn't what I was anticipating -- I was hoping for a lovely, uniform blonde with no silly colours in, but it's now white blonde with pink and peach streaks. Observe.

Nails are utterly bolloxed.

I loves it, I do, sorta (still wearing a hat) and, as an added bonus, it gave me a chance to restart the ELF Challenge as I fancied eyes that matched the hair. Didn't have spreadsheet available, so no idea whether I've used these.

Applied the usual base of Two Faced Shadow Insurance, then slapped on some of the A3 (yellowy) over the lid. Some F5 (purpley brown) went over crease and outer eyelid, bit of E1 over the F5 up to the browbone, then some more A3 as a highlighter.

This photo is the wrong size and it's annoying me.

Colours look rubbish on the photo, but they were pretty well pigmented, good job there ELF.

My Creme Egg Was Stolen

And I was looking forward to that all day after a hard day's coding.

Sigh.

Anyway, I've had a chance to do somthing with my nails as they're in a right state and need colour and care and attention instead of the horrible, horrible treatment I've been giving them.


Started off with a base off Opi Ink Suede, then some Max Factor Fantasy Fire, then some NYX purple glitter stuff, more Fantasy Fire, more glitter, cup of tea then put a little decal of a butterfly and flower on. Top-coat on, bish-bosh, I am now going to kill the bastard who stole my Creme Egg with my pretty, pretty nails.

Boo.

EOTD: ELF Challenge: Pink Fr-eye-day

We are having a Pink Friday today which called for some pink eyes.  Couldn't do nails as it wouldn't have worked with the title of this post, and I'm still enjoying rocking the Claire's Accessories Mystery Metallic Purple.

Never a great fan of pinky-pink eyes as they make me look really, really ill, which kinda defeats the point of wearing make-up in the first place. I want to get away from teh ills, not look at the bastards. And, why, yes this is another ELF 100 Colour Palette Challenge Post. Not quite gathered enough groovy pink samples to do anything interesting with.

Half-asleep in this picture. TBH, I was half-asleep when I put it all on, and I'm still half-asleep now.

Started off with the usual Two-Faced Shadow Insurance (which I use, like, all the time so I'm not sure why it's being mentioned in every post) and a base of NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk over the lid, crease and lower lash-line.

Eyeshadow H0 (pale peachy pink) was applied all over and around the duct (didn't show up much, though), E1 (pink) went onto the centre of lid, crease and lower lash-line and F2 (purpley-pink) went onto the outer lid, crease and lower lash-line. As mentioned earlier, this pinky-pink look makes me look really ill, so I went over the crease with some F1 (purple) and it looked a bit better. I expect to ruin/improve this look a bit later on by having a snooze and smearing it all over the place. 

EOTD: ELF Challenge: Playing With Purple

Oh sod it, lets do me eyes to match my nails (and shirt) then take photos of it and include it as part of the ELF 100 Colour Palette Challenge. Yeah, content, baby.

Shall be using colours B6 (goldy-brown), F0 (lilac) and F3 (mid-purple) for this (click on pic on left for bigger colour reference dooberry).

Bit messy but I do like this

Started off with some of the lovely Two-Face Shadow Insurance primer and a base of NYX Jumbo Stick in Milk. B6 (goldy-brown) was applied in the inner eyelid, then F0 (lilac) got patted onto the centre of the eyelid.  F3 (mid-purple) went onto the outer lid and crease, and was blended in with the B6 (goldy-brown) with some more F0 (lilac). Could have done a better job of the blending really, looks a bit messy but it was early. I'm not an early person.

This is a colour-combo that normally wouldn't have been worn but will be again.
