LOTD: Peek-A-Boo Icy Blue

By icyabstract · July 4, 2012 · 9 Comments ·

Hello! It's been awhile since a LOTD and this is definitely not one from today.

Today I am all bumpy and spotty due to a random outbreak of hives (first time getting this and it's scary shiz) so make up is out of the question for awhile. Though to put some light to the annoyingly itchy situation, I guess I would be able to get some entries drafted now that I am home. In between the being knocked out by the drowsy medication that is.

So back to the point, LOTD! Hurray!

Some things haven't changed despite the absence and I still love neutrals but this was the look I did for the recent Fashion Feature I posted.

Here are eye shots pre-falsies and I am actually a little disappointed with how this ended up photographing. The silver portion you see above is actually Giorgio Armani's Eyes To Kill in #10, that icy pale silver-blue.

In person it looks a lot blue-er and prettier but pity that doesn't translate to pictures.

Flash helps to capture that pale icy-ness a little better but still... some things are just prettier in person!

And on the falsies go!

These are no-brand ones I snitched from a girlfriend. She had a couple of those lash-boxes, I like to call it, and she handed me a couple of pairs.

I shall stop with feeling disappointed about how it doesn't show up right but you can see how GA ETK in #10 swatches to know how beautiful it is!

Biore Aqua Rich UV Water Mousse

Highlighted products were provided by companies/distributors,
I was not obliged to use/feature them in LOTDs.

On a sidenote, I am glad that my bangs are growing out into that no-bangs look that I had wanted to try. Though I realize that it seems to make me look more mature? Well, a colleague at my new workplace actually thought I was 25 and was shocked to find out that I am only 22. Boohoo.

But still, it's nice to be able to switch between mature and young-ish just by keeping or cutting bangs.

Not many LOTDs of late as I haven't been actively rummaging through my makeup collection. A portion is stashed away in 'migration' and work has left me ignoring anything experimental, so this mildly dramatic look (so to speak) is a break away for me in terms of the past 2 makeup weeks. ha!

Though I will share some product features soon, once these icky red bumps leave me alone.

Thanks for reading!

p.s. Anyone had hives before? How long do they typically last for and any quick relief remedies? It's been on/off for half a day plus and ridiculously annoying. Never knew the importance of normal skin until I can't even sit or lie still due to this :(

Hey babe, u should take anti-histamine for the hives. They should go off quite quickly. It's prob due to an allergy. Take care!! Get better soon. Btw, love how your hair looks now and the last pic is gorgeous! That contour of your cheekbone.... Just lovely!

Agree with She Shops Makeup. Your hives can go off in as fast as 30mins if you take anti histamines - which u'll need to be prescribed by a doc. Depending on severity, sometimes the doc will give u an injection which sees them disappear almost immediately. Don't take it too lightly as I fainted from hives before. So do take care babe! *Hugs*

everbluec: Ohh the powder wet wipes kinda have that Calamine lotion effect right? I felt like I had a cast over my skin the last 2 days. Lol so epic!

She Shops Makeup: Thanks! Yeap that was what the doc prescribed! It went away quite fast after but my skin still feels sensitive or rather I'm paranoid to every little itch. haha. And aww thank you Smiling I'm loving the hair too, much easier to manage!

Chynna Lee: I took that and mine went off after several hours but I was soooo relieved to wake up to normal skin after that. And omgosh your case sounds severe, thanks for the heads up about it! Smiling

Pretty =) Really sorry to hear about your hives. I agree, it's probably due to an allergy. Perhaps you can try to find the cause of it.>.< My friend gets hers after she drinks alcohol.

miwitch: Aw thank you! I'm thankfully all better now!

x3ASweetAffair: Thanks! Laughing out loud I tried thinking about it but there wasn't much that I had done during the day. I presume it could be a dusty or not-that-sanitary chair I had sat on during my meeting Sad but either ways, really hoping it doesn't make a relapse!
