EOTD: Miami Sound Machine Song IN MY HEAD

Doctor Beat. In head. For five days. Doing my nut in.

This is due to the Madd Style Dirty Beats eyeshadow that I wore several days ago. It was cute to begin with, "oh, this eyeshadow has put an annoying song in my head, it'll go away soon" but it hasn't. I've even tried my mate's German Industrial music trick but that didn't work.

Am now going to deploy the eyeshadow that caused it, and fight fire with fire sort of thing:

• Madd Style Dirty Beats - Warm, chocoyummy brown. 
• Fyrinnae Pumpkinfire - Black with glittery sparks of orange. 

Dirty Beats on two thirds of lid and outer lower lashline, Pumpkinfire on outer third of lid and crease. Some random orangey shade went on upto the brow bone and it was all finished off with highlighter, eyeliner and mascara. 

Swatch up right shows off colours and sparkle -- Dirty Beats on left, Pumpkinfire in middle and the random orangey shade on the right.

It looked fab and all that, but sadly the chorus of Doctor Beat remains in my head, like some horrible form of repetitive torture. Might have to dig out the twee 80s Bee Gees songs.

EOTD: Strange Brew

It's been the hottest day of the year so far (except for maybe that odd period in February), there has been sun, real sun, and a great day for ice cream. I didn't have ice cream, so had to rely on the fruity chocolate shades of eyeshadows instead.

Today's pigments come from Madd Style Cosmetics and are: 

• Strange Potion - Duochrome orange and pink 
• Dirty Beatz - Warm brown with subtle sparkles

Usual base of Two Faced Shadow Insurance and Pixie Epoxy, then Strange Potion all over up to brow bone, Dirty Beatz on outer lid and crease and some random pinkish highlighter to finish it off. 

Eyepost photo doesn't bring out the colours all that well, so there's a swatch picture up right. Top swatch shows off the duochrome in natural light, blurry one was done with the flash on and shows off the sparklyness. 

Really have got a crush on the Strange Potion, very strange as it's not a colour that I would have worn in a million years.

A Strange Potion indeed.

Quite like it with the Dirty Beatz as well, but reckon there's something out there that would go with it perfectly. Suppose I'll have to test more eye shadows out to find the perfect match #ohwhatashame.

Colours I Don't Like But Like At The Same Time

The blurple nails are still going, and I didn't want to be sporting blurple eyes three days on the trot so went for some brown.

Yes brown. I really, really like brown eyeshadow. And gold, for that matter. Can't stand either of them on my nails but I'm quite happy to get the old brown and gold eyeshadows and slap them on like a bastard.

Selected brown and gold eyeshadows were both from Fyrinnae and were:

• Steampunk - an absolutely gorgeous chocolate brown with a coppery-pink flash and lots of rainbow glitter.
• Newcastle - a shimmertastic gold that looks almost olive at some angles.

Usual base (Two Faced Shadow Insurance and Pixie Epoxy) with lots of Steampunk being applied over the entire lid, crease and outer lower lashline, with the Newcastle blending things up to the brow bone and inner lower lashline. 

Both of them are fantastic colours but I'm not really sure about the Newcastle with the Steampunk, should have gone for a warmer, pinkier gold really but I don't seem to have one.

Plugs of the day were my 8mm lucky plugs worn through those cheap silicone tunnels off eBay to give them an extra lease of life as they're way too small. Would normally wear these Stevenage FC are playing but it's off season and luck is always nice. Plus I haven't got anything that matches ...

Would like to finish off by saying, if someone said to me tomorrow, "oi, you've got to marry an eyeshadow" I would pick Steampunk, it's fucking amazing <3
