Happy Monday morning, ladies!! For those of you also in Canada, how are you Labour Days VICTORIA Days, lol! going? As usual, I’m writing this Sunday night and scheduling it for posting… but in all liklihood, at 6:00AM when this goes up, I’ll be in a deep sleep beneath layers and layers of comfey blankets.
[Sidenote: At least, I better be. If something wakes me before then, I’ll instead be hitting whatever or whoever it was with a baseball bat. Repeatedly.]
A week ago, I shared some swatches of Annabelle’s Pinked, an intense dark pink. The thing is, a lot of you didn’t see how it could be wearable.
My mission for today? To prove that Pinked totally is wearable! In creating this, I chose products that are all available in the drugstore (well, with the exception of the waterline liner… but we’ll pretend I used the HiP liner for that, too. Because it does look awesome on the waterline, it’s just that I was being dumb and reached for my MUFE pencil out of habit.)
Run behind the cut for more photos, a product listing, and a tangent about these falsies…
Used:
L’Oreal Hip cream liner (in black,) as a base
NYX Milk jumbo eye pencil
Revlon Minx flase lashes
DUO lash glue, clear
Annabelle Pinked shadow
NYX White and Black from the White/Grey/Black trio
Annabelle Violet Vibe pigment
So, about those lashes… I hate ’em. I just can’t get them to work with me! They’re absolutely gorgeous, and I haven’t run into any other Revlon falsies that I’ve totally hated, but these are just a huge no-go for me. The strip is too thick, and it’s just awkward. I felt like it took away from the makeup, so I edited out the problem in the closed-eye photo above, but here it is unedited:
No matter how much I bend, glue, or play with the strip, I can’t get the inner corner to lie properly. It pulls away from my eye, stretching my lid with it. Do not like!
Aside from that, I don’t have much else to say! Hope you liked the look — it’s quite bold, but I also think it would be an awesome eye to wear to a club. Just… maybe not to the office!
