Shadowy Lady

I nearly cried with happiness yesterday when my dad moved the something-to-do-with-replacng-car-wheels-thingy out of my boot, which I've never really paid attention to before. Hiding underneath it was my MAC Shadowy Lady eyeshadow, which hadn't been seen since my 21st in November!

Finding lost things is the best.


Shadowy Lady looks like a pretty boring shade, It's a greyish purple with a Matte finish. It's not a colour you can wear on it's own, you will look like you've been punched.


The reason why I love it is that it works alongside bright colours so well. I use it for the darker tones when using bright blue or green. As you blend Shadowy Lady in, it almost picks up the tones from the bright colours blending in perfectly, without looking dull.


The blue is MAC Freshwater, which is a very pigmented bright blue with a Veluxe Pearl finish. 


I wear it with a hint of bright pink on the brow bone which just helps to lift the eye. (a brighter pink than this, but this was all I had at the time)

 

The green is MAC Steamy, which is an almost blueish green, with a very subtle gold Frost finish. It's not as pigmented or as bright as freshwater but does build up well to a deeper colour.


When blended out the golden Frost in steamy is much more noticeable.

Favourite Thing (of the moment)




Nude clutch bag with gold studs: £29.99 from Zara.

I've seen this selling on ebay for £60.. unbelievable!
My only dislike about this bag is that it doesn't have a zippered pocket inside.. only card slots. But the inside is finished off so nicely (it's the same pleather as on the outside.. no cheap cotton lining) that I'll let Zara off.

Saturday Night


 

A few snaps from last night, out with Lucy and Roz. Had no phone or camera so these are all courtesy of jack and abi! It was bed race* day so there were lots of friendly faces out afterwards which is always nice.

Didn't get a photo of my complete outfit but I wore AA Disco Trousers with Lucy's collard lace crop top!

*(our weird town dresses up beds for a parade and then races them round the town and through the river once a year. it's perfectly normal here)

It's been an age since I've blogged but sometimes real life gets in the way. Since It's summer now I'm going to put some effort into this blog again, which may mean stealing my boyfriends camera until I've saved up enough to buy my own. I'm going to promise to post at least something every other day but that will probably only last until after the weekend! We shall see..
