EOTD





As you can see this is a subtle look you can wear in the day without causing offence to anyone's eyes. My friend bought me a Benefit Dallas palette a couple of years ago which I love because the colours really work for me. The two eye shadows seem to give my eyes an amber glow that isn't visible on the photos. A golden pink over the whole lid with a golden brown at the outer corner and crease with just a smidge dark chocolate brown shadow at the very outer edge gives me a subtle shimmering smoky daytime look. It looks very subtle in the photos! Maybe I need to trowel it on a bit more? 







This little pot of black inkiness lined my upper lids. With the brush that comes with it I smudged the gel into my upper lash-line creating subtle definition to the lashes. I haven't used a gel liner before but I have long wanted the more expensive Bobbi Brown and MAC versions. While I haven't anything to compare it with I am very pleased with this little purchase; currently on special in Boots for £5.99 instead of £7.99 this should last a fair old while and the sales assistant implied that there would be more colours available if this sold well. 

Finally Estee Lauder Projectionist was applied to my upper lashes, looking at the photos it is apparent to me that I should also use mascara on my lower lashes (which was highly frowned upon in the Nineties!) and I could do with a touch of liner too. I'm not faithful to a particular brand of mascara. At the moment I switch between this and Clinique High Impact. I like both :non-committal shrug:
