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!

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 :(
