OOTD & FOTD

Here's the look I'm wearing today: an absolute minimum with just a little bit of tightlining and mascara (Estee Lauder MagnaScopic). No foundation or powder of any sort (as you can tell with all the spots!), just moisturiser. It's such a hot day today, I didn't want to wear any make up!

As for my outfit, it's also simple and minimal with just shorts from Supre (non skanky, of course) and a loose fitting tee from Lolita. Oh, and the bow hairband from Aldo Accessories. Nice and mumsy. No skanks here today... LOL!

Today we're just going to do the family thing, maybe take Dante to a park or the beach, and spend some time at the shopping center (for the air conditioning!) My other son is at home with his nanna and grandpa. He loves them!

YSL 5 Colour Harmony for Eyes Look

This is a look I did today, using a colour I don't use very often: green! I used the Yves Saint Laurent 5 Colour Harmony for Eyes in 6. I bought this really cheap from my sister who also got it for a good price off ebay.

It's just a basic smokey eye. I always seem to do smokey eyes. It's just so easy to do, plus it looks good. I didn't think I'd like the look of green on me but it turned out pretty nice. I think so, anyway! I love how the green isn't too garish.

The YSL eyeshadow itself was a dream to work with. It's so smooth and glides on easily. Very easy to blend and stays put without creasing (I did use Too Faced shadow insurance though). The only problem I have with this shadow is that the colours are a bit light... as in, if you want the true colour to show on your eyes you need to pat on more than one layer. But having said that, it does have a very good colour payoff. I just like it to be "bright".

I love how it comes with a highlight colour. It might be a bit too shimmery for some but I love the sparkle and shine. It pulls the look together. This palette is great for a night look. I also have it in the purple colour, which I use more often. But I'm loving how the colours all go together. Great shadow!
