Hey guys, hope everyone had a nice Valentines. We had a quiet one because I had work ... I decided to do a wearable "glowy day makeup" on the day - I went for a peachy glow with Illamasqua's Lover blush. It's been sitting in my makeup box for a while now, and I thought it was about time I used this! The colour is not only perfect for the Spring/Summer but it would brighten any cold winter day :D
Let's start off the with the eyes..
I primed the eyes with Too-Faced Shadow Primer then I worked with the Dior Sunset Palette in 440 (the nude peachy and medium taupe) I decided to line the eyes with the darkest brown.
I wanted to test out the new lenses that came through last weekend... unfortunately they didn't work out too well LOL.

Yes your eyes are not deceiving you, the colours are DIFFERENT!! LOL. Can you believe my luck? Years of not bothering with circle lenses, this is what happens!! I'm quite disappointed, I was really looking forward to wearing them. What was really strange was that the lenses looks identical in the bottle. I have emailed to Candylen.com to complain about it and they have responded and I will have to get back them soon.. On a positive note they were not uncomfortable to wear but my normal contacts have been playing havoc on my eyes from the air conditioning. I mean they are actually coping well but as soon as I finish work - I get red eyes =_=
On a random note , which colour do you prefer? :P
 |
| my right eye - this is more if a hazel shade |
I think this particular hazel shade actually goes with the eye makeup really well.. and maybe not as well with a cooler tone lens (below).
 |
| This lens has a grey tone to it! How bizarre.. |
I cannot for the life of me remember what I used as a blush base under Illamasqua Lover :/ Probably Maquillage Face Creator 66 with the nude pink?!
 |
| sometimes natural is best..? LOL. |
If you're wondering what I have on my lips - I paired it with YSL Rouge Volupte in Faburg Peche and Revlon lipglossin Peony :) Time to dig out the peaches for spring!
AS you can see my Valentines was uneventful but I did enjoy a lot of Valentines-related blogpost , which made me feel all gooey inside :). I cannot wait for this week to be over (already)!!! I have been feeling up and down this week.. you know what they say.. 船到橋頭自然直 **fighting** !! Have a great weekend guys. xx
