LOTD: Some Summer In My 'Sand'

By icyabstract · July 22, 2012 · 1 Comment ·

While I spent my time working the weekend away, it was considerably 'fun-work' and something I wish my day-to-day work life was!

As much as it is work, it is still the weekends so I thought to inject a little color into my usual brown palette and this was what I ended up with on Saturday!

Because of the blue, coral and gold tones, this look ended up giving off an extremely summery vibe. While news of Fall collections are seeping out from everywhere, I believe it is still summer so I guess this is... living in the moment?

Just because the images above don't really capture the golden sheen these shadows carry, here are more close up shots of my eye.

Don't get freaked out!

The masterminds behind this glorious golden sheen would be none other than these long-forgotten Majolica Majorca single shadows (along with a MUA Cosmetics one)!


(names are listed below)

I know I am throwing loads of bits and pieces within this entry, making it quite scattered, but I also using and LOVING a new mascara - the Helena Rubinstein Lash Feline (waterproof).

My Dollywink Volume gave its last breathe sometime last week and since I had the Helena Rubinstein on hand, I decided to give it a whirl and did not regret it one single bit. It's more lengthening than volumizing but it does both equally well and makes it look like I have lashes and 'opens up my eyes'!

I shall continue my thoughts on it in a seperate entry after giving it more uses but for now... (insert mandatory Mcdonalds reference) - I'm loving it!

Why does it seem like I am loving so many things right now?

Though just for fun, I did post up this snapshot on my instagram!

Nonetheless, I hope everyone had a great weekend!
