Three coats China Glaze Pool Party, from The Poolside collection. No base or top coat!
I thought I had a dupe to this shade, and it does look quite similar. The only real difference is Depend number 160, on my ring finger, is shinier. If you were to put a top coat on Pool Party, it would also be shiny – so go look in your closet! If you live in Scandinavia, certainly Depend is much easier to come by than China Glaze is (sigh).

Nothing like a little daytime smokey!
It really does annoy me to no end that I failed to blend out Modelette on the right here. You live and learn, right?
After adding Lucky pencil on waterline:
I so love this colour eyeliner, a shimmery golden copper. When I think about it, I find I have it in three forms, pencil (Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Lucky), liquid (Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Lucky) and gel (MAC Fluidline Rich Ground)
Products used:
- UDPP
- MAC Eyeshadows in Espresso (brows and lower lid and lash line), Modelette (crease), Blanc Type (highlight)
- NARS Eyeshadow duo in Jezebel (reddish brown on middle lid)
- Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Lucky (upper lashline)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Lucky (waterline)
- MAC Plushlash mascara
What do you find most difficult when applying eyeshadow?
- For me it’s getting both eyes to look the same and blending the eyeshadows. We’ll get there in the end, girls!

This certainly is the greenest green if ever I saw one. What do you think?

Enjoying my last day of absolute makeup freedom before school starts! I thought I’d give yellow eyeshadow a try – it’s the one shade I always tell myself I just cannot carry. Imagine my surprise when I found it didn’t make me look like I was having seizures! 
Products used:
- UDPP
- MAC Paintpot in Painterly (on lid up to brow)
- MAC Pigments in Golden Lemon (lid) and Melon (outer lid and crease)
- MAC Eyeshadows in Copperplate (brows), Blanc Type (highlight) and Glamour Check! (lower lashline)
- MAC Fluidline in Rich Ground (upper lashline)
- Make Up Store Eye Khol in Vanilla (waterline)
- MAC Plushlash mascara
Would you ever wear yellow eyeshadow? Do you ever wear yellow clothing?
And P.S., my momma wouldn’t approve of this look. Her favourite look is a black smokey eye. So there.
And P.P.S. If you’re like me and want every single colour eyeshadow out there, I suggest you take a chance and buy a bunch of MAC Pigment samples. I’ve bought mine from Marlena and really enjoy her service. She has a huge selection too!

When I asked on Twitter which colour eyeshadow I should wear, and Fieran suggested greens (her favourite), I was secretly disappointed. Oh no, not greens! They’re certainly not my favourite. Imagine my surprise when I was pleased with the outcome!
Let’s call this greens for people who can’t actually wear greens!
MAC Humid (why Humid? I meant Club!) and Urban Decay Misdemeanor are both duochromey greens. When they’re paired, do they make a quadrochrome?
Products used:
- UDPP
- MAC Eyeshadows in Club (lower lid), Blanc Type (highlight), Nylon (very softly to highlight), Copperplate (brows)
- Urban Decay eyeshadow in Misdemeanor (Book of Shadows II)
- Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Stash (lower lashline)
- Make Up Store Eye Khol in Vanilla (waterline)
- MAC Plushlash mascara
Are you a green fan? What’s your favourite way of wearing it?

it must be Urban Decay, right? Today’s look is completely in the spirit of Urban Decay, with glittery neutrals combined with a crazy pop of colour. All the shades I used were from The Book of Shadows II, in celebration of the holiday release of Book of Shadows III (that I’m furiously trying to resist). Hope you like!
Products used:
- UDPP Sin
- Urban Decay eyeshadows in Sellout (inner lid), Nylon (middle lid), Mushroom (outer lid) and Sphynx (lower lash)
- Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen in black (upper lashline)
- MAC Liquidlast liner in Fuchsia-ism (lower lashline, I recommend blending this out with a q-tip and not brush!)
- Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Rockstar (lower lashline and waterline)
- MAC Eyeshadows in Blanc Type (highlight) and Copperplate (brows)
- MAC Plushlash mascara

I already have Half Baked in Book of Shadows II, so I decided to pair it with a plum. Wearing a shimmery eyeshadow in the crease is different, but I like a little bit of different every now and then
