Boring title but it was either this or "What I wore to a wedding!" which was truly what I wore this look to but... well I opted for this title in the end.

Every time during a special occasion or event, I would often wreck my brains over what eyeshadow look to do, aside from the usual neutrals. Most of the time, I draw a blank and go with smokey purples, blues or moss which I love but a little change and variation can be fun too. With that, I thank Pinterest for being a great library of visual references.

I'm not awfully active on Pinterest but I like browsing, not necessarily re-pinning unless I really want to remember something. That said, this look was inspired by a photo I chanced across. I'll put up the photo later but do note that I didn't replicate it exactly, just got some inspiration off it.

Just because there was a good load of palettes mentioned I thought I would post which shades I had used from which. While I have mentioned whole palettes, I really only used 1 shade from each.

The squiggly lines are a bit of a mess but here's what went where.

Blue – 88 Metal mania color (above) with 'Float on A Could layered over
Champagne – champagne shade from Majolica Majorca palette, blended between blue and bronze
Bronzey Brown – A bronzey brown used from Majolica Majorca palette to blend the outerhalf
Dark brown – Dark brown from Wet N Wild to accentuate the Outer-v
Skintone Brown – From 28 color palette (not pictured) to blend the edges
HIghlight – From 28 color palette (not pictured)

After running through all that, here's the picture that I was inspired by but clearly this was done sooooo much better. I even contemplated posting it because it would make my look seem so blah.

I loved the minty green they used but I couldn't find that particular shade so I had to go aqua blue instead.

Just to throw it in, here's what I wore to the wedding. It's nothing new and you have all probably seen this outfit and these wedges mentioned a couple of times.

A bad habit of mine is that I rarely plan what to wear the night before so I often end up just grabbing and going with whatever outfit comes to mind.

Ending off, here's the beautiful bride for the evening, Clara! Check out that blinged-up gown!

Thanks for reading!

I have had this little package in my posession for awhile now and finally got to photographing it.

What's a lovepack? Well it's a bit cheesy but I typically term Goodies as something that companies or e-tailers provide so a package from a friend has a name that's a little bit more personal - love pack!

Cheesy? Maybe?

Well, now I'm going to share with you what the very generous and lovely Iris (Rougedeluxe) had shared with me! Thank you Iris!

Oh, joy!

Back in my Essence haul post, I remarked (or rather whined) about how I had seen these pretty nail polish duos on Iris's blog but yet we don't have them locally. With that, Iris offered to send me a couple and I think she sent me more than just a couple!

I wouldn't know which shade to start using but here's a closer look at them.

I received 3 shades Colour3s and 2 from the Season of Extremes.

First up, the colour3! I'll just list the general name of it, though both ends have their own individual names.

Left to Right: Midnight Date, Ticket to the Show, Kiss on Top of the Rock

A closer look at the shimmer side of the duo, the supposed 'part 2' if you are looking to overlay the polishes and wear them that way.

How gorgeous!

And City That Never Sleeps (Midnight Date), the blue polish, looks so much more amazing in person. In pictures it's pretty and stunning already but in person you can really see the flakies and sheen.

Next, the 2 from Season of Extremes.

Left to Right: My Best Nude Friends and Me, We Are All Bright

I am really intrigued to see how We Are All Bright will layer, with that shimmery light purple shade over that green. Maybe that could be the first shade I try!

With this range, the 'overlay' shade carries a lighter airy-er feel to it.

I probably can't stop saying 'gorgeous' enough but I really am still gushing over it from the minute I received the package till now, that I'm writing this.

If somehow, somewhere out there the distributor of Essence Singapore sees this... Please, can we have the nail polish duos and the zillion collections that Essence puts out?

All in all, a huuuuge thank you again to Iris for being so kind and sharing the Essence polish love! I loved all the shades chosen and am really glad to be able to hold these polish duos.

I don't have swatches for you guys right now and I could have done one on every nail but I think I will slowly make my way through them, painting them on all 10 nails each time!

Thanks for reading!
