Step 4: Blend in the taupe shade to the crease using a blending brush<br />
Step 5: Wing out the taupe shade and then drag a little on to the lower lash line<br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The golden shade lets the quad down. It is very powerdy, the glitter fall out is annoying and difficult to clear up without using something harsh like celotape. There is little to no pigmentation on the lids. However, the pink and taupe shades are much better in comparison to the aweful golden shade. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Prime eye lid, under eye and cheek<br />
Step 2. Cover Lid and under eye with the colour base of your choice<br />
Step 3. Draw the outline of 3 leaves, one on top of the other and fill in with the colour base<br />
Step 4. Place the lightest green eyeshadow over the colour base using a flat eyeshadow brush to pack on the colour<br />
Step 5. Line the eyes with the darkest brown shade.<br />
Step 6. Create a long and extended wing using the darkest green shade and an angled brush. Use this as the steam of the first leaf.<br />
Step 7. Using the same colour and brush create veins leading off from the main stem.<br />
Step 8. From the middle of the lower lash line, extend another line down and across the center of the second/middle leaf.<br />
Step 9. Again draw veins leading off from this central stem.<br />
Step 10. From the inner corner of the lower lash line, run another line across and down the center of the 3rd/bottom leaf shape you have drawn remembering to give it veins as well.<br />
Step 11. Accent the main stem of each leaf with the brown you used to line your eyes.<br />
Step 12. Over the lid the colour base and palest green shadow should be a little way up and over the crease.<br />
Step 13. From the inner corner, curving along the natural shape of your lid (see pictures) create a line, again using the darkest green and an angled brush.<br />
Step 14. Create another line starting from the middle of your upper lash line curving in the opposite direction.<br />
Step 15. Draw tiny veins off of these lines (this is very fiddly, take your time, try not to make these lines too thick)<br />
Step 16. Apply Mascara<br />

Step 3: Blend the brown shadow into the crease using the Studio Contour Brush<br />
Step 4: Use darker brown shadow (colour number 3 in the quad) to intensify the 1st colour (be careful it is far too easy to buff these colours away)<br />

Many apologies for not blogging regularly enough. I would say I have been busy but that would be a lie. Without a job days seem to merge together and then the next time you look at a calender a whole week could have flown by without me even noticing.<br />
<br />
Still I like to think I made the most out of my time bumming about the house. I have read a hell of a lot of books over the last month or so. When I read I can loose a whole day due to falling into a good book. Jasper Fforde brought out a "children's" book called "The Last Dragonslayer" that I just HAD to read because I love his Thursday Next Books. It wasn't that great a read actually, but I still managed to finish it in just 3 sittings so it can't be too bad. He ranted a lot about the way we view animal charities, I think he is another of those "bugs matter" people, which is fine, but you don't need to preach about it in a children's novel.<br />
<br />
I have also added to my collection of Tamora Pierce Books, with "Terrier" and "Bloodhound". I love love love Temora Pierce's books, but they don't publish them in England anymore, well, actually, they do, they just don't stock her older works anymore. "The Song of the Lioness" Quartet which is my favourite Tamora Pierce book (I've got all four in one big tomb of a book) has been much loved and is falling apart, I desperately want to replace it, but I can't even find it, even on Amazon, which is a HUGE shame.<br />
<br />
Still I am chuffed to have "Terrier" and "Bloodhound" on my bookshelf. I read Terrier in about 2 sittings. I loved the return of Faithful/Pounce the cat. The protagonist of the book, Bekah, is a likable character. She is a familiar lead role that centers in all of Tamora's books. A stubborn, headstrong girl, who has suffered from neglect or loss from family and who seeks life. She is a "puppy" (trainee dog) to Tunstall and Goodwin. These two dogs (guardsmen/policeman) make this book brilliant. Their portrayal makes you love them instantly. Thankfully they will feature throughout the trilogy which is great because they make Bekah who she is, a determined dog who will sniff out her rat no matter the cost. When Bekah is with Tunstall and Goodwin she loves her job so much so she lives sleeps and breaths the criminal cases she is working on, which makes this book fast paced and very interesting. I would highly recommend it and any/all of Tamora Pierce's other books.<br />
<br />
Other books I have read this month:<br />
<br />
Multiple Katie Fforde books<br />
Maria V. Snyder's Poison Study, Magic Study and Fire Study<br />
Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl<br />
<br />
Of course in between all this reading came Christmas and New Years. Christmas was a small family affair, my brother came up Christmas Eve to stay with us, mum cooked a fab feast and was rewarded with a huge Christmas present from myself, my dad and my brother (a pro table tennis table)<br />
<br />
New Years was also a quiet one, one of my uncles came up with his wife and daughters for dinner and games on new years eve and on new years day we went over to our neighbours house for amazing cakes and a festive catch up with all the villagers.<br />
<br />
Sadly I didn't get any make up for Christmas so I'm lacking greatly on inspiration, especially since my artwork has taken a front seat as my creativity outlet at the moment, still you never know, tomorrow is another day.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">After playing around with this kit, I have come to the decision that these colours are far too shimmery for any one over the age of 22, but are perfect for anyone younger.</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are so very easy to use, very pigmented, very soft, almost creamy in texture. They are very crumbly, but the fall out is not too bad.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The only downside to this kit is the eye dusts, they are very difficult to use, just getting them on to a brush is a mission.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would have liked a matte shade or two, but that isn't too much of a issue. It just means that the pictures i took of this look didn't come out very well. By the time I remembered to photograph my make-up it was already dark outside so the flash didn't do it justice.</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, it does show their staying power :-)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yay for cheap yet good quality products</div><div style="text-align: center;">(n.b. I did use an eye primer and a colour base though)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">You will need:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">A good eye primer, I used E.L.F. Mineral Eye Primer</div><div style="text-align: left;">NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk</div><div style="text-align: left;">The white eye shadow in this palette</div><div style="text-align: left;">The brown eye shadow in this palette</div><div style="text-align: left;">The colour underneath the brown</div><div style="text-align: left;">And the reddish toned colour on the end of the second row<br />
The colour works mascara </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMXP-s-9JN_rrYjS04ZtKwf3xTc2_s9G0X-0WoFjhORMmAMA0jVjN7Czyrc8PU5fhjGsffsc3QsHPD9AQTfV8ZOhlY2Pk4dwKtXgaoUtKoPowfmM0pavd5oyQpBVlmQXoiSQbBs7C7ycY/s1600/Yay+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMXP-s-9JN_rrYjS04ZtKwf3xTc2_s9G0X-0WoFjhORMmAMA0jVjN7Czyrc8PU5fhjGsffsc3QsHPD9AQTfV8ZOhlY2Pk4dwKtXgaoUtKoPowfmM0pavd5oyQpBVlmQXoiSQbBs7C7ycY/s320/Yay+4.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uL-gytlf900/TPbFOnqGASI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/CjUAkX4ku7E/s1600/Yay+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uL-gytlf900/TPbFOnqGASI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/CjUAkX4ku7E/s320/Yay+5.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Place an eye primer all over the lid<br />
Put the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk over the top, gently bend out with your finger<br />
Apply the white eye shadow to the inner corner and the brow bone<br />
Apply the lighter brown shade to the rest of the lid and blend out<br />
Add the brown shade to the outer corner and wing it out<br />
Place over the top of this wing the red toned colour to warm it up<br />
Using a damp brush, turn the brown into an eyeliner (you can use the back of your hand as an artists palette to mix in some of the black if you wish you darken it up)<br />
Apply this as you would a gel eye liner, however, leave the inner corner<br />
Line the lower lash line as well, but this time mixing the brown with the red toned eye shadow so that it isn't too dark and blends will with the winged out shadow.<br />
Use the colour works mascara, but use sparingly. <br />

Not a good day to have one considering there is snow on the ground, i think the temperature was around -2 degrees *shivers*<br />
NOT fun! Especially since it occurred at about 4pm when it was already dark!<br />
So out came the torches and the candles and Dad lit a fire.<br />
But without electricity we had no way of cooking dinner, so we decided to go for a Chinese! Result!!! :-D :-D<br />
We accidentally got to the restaurant an hour before it opened, so it was a good excuse for my mother and I to drag dad around the shops teehee<br />
<br />
Superdrug had a 3 for 2 offer on the cosmetics so I got:<br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">That would mean my little stash of Urban Decay Eye Shadows are worth a grand total of £117! No they are not! Not in my opinion anyway.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">They are beautiful colours, they are pigmented, they feel very soft and light and are very easy to apply but I still can’t fathom the hefty price tag.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">That amount of money is just far too silly to spend on eye shadows. Especially since a lot of the colours Urban Decay come out with are not at all wearable. What’s the point in spending so much money on an eye shadow you may only wear a couple of times at best?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thankfully, I’m assuming most people aren’t silly enough to buy eye shadows in colours that they would never wear. And I’m certainly not hating on those who do spend a lot of money on makeup, I just don’t understand it. There is no way I could ever rationalise spending such an inordinate amount of money on make-up.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">What I am saying is that there are cheaper alternatives which are just as good if not better.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, if you have to live on a shoestring budget like me, don’t fret, the internet and the drug store are your friends. For example I bought my eye shadows from a discount website for just £4 each.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here are some swatches (all of them are pigmented and a very soft texture apart from Acid Rain and Yeyo which I certainly would not recommend)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Oh well never mind</span></div><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I have 12 of their lip paints and I love them, love the packaging and love the formulation (on the most part)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here I will swatch them in order of colour, from the lightest shades through to the darkest.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">100 Baby Pink: Matte, very pigmented but quite drying. It’s too light for me</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">113 Sheer Pink: Hence the name, it isn’t as pigmented as the others, but it isn’t as drying either</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">130 Pale Pink Sparkle: Pigmented and soft but can dry a little gritty if you don’t use with a lip balm or gloss. Most importantly a gorgeous colour.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">132 Pinkie Gold Sparkle: My all time favourite. Creamy, pigmented, glossy, beautiful colour, catches the light wonderfully.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">140 Pink Sparkle: Very Strong colour but also very gritty. Not a winner in my opinion.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">147 Peachy Pink: Matte, requires a gloss/lipbalm but the colour is worth it despite how drying it is.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">53 Coral: I can’t really comment on the colour with this one, my lips are very pigmented already, so this colour turns pink on me. But I love it for its sheen. It isn’t sparkly but it isn’t matte either, it sits happily in the middle. Thumbs up!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">153 Pink Ribbon: One of their newest shades. Its formulation is very creamy. On the lips it looks almost glossy. I love love love the colour! It reminds me of strawberries and cream. My 3<sup>rd</sup> favourite colour</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">152 Vintage Rose: Another of their newest shades: It’s very similar to my actual lip colour, just a little bit more dusky. I wear it a lot. The formulation is one of the best in the collection alongside numbers 153 and 132. It’s my 2<sup>nd</sup> favourite colour of my collection.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">144 Cerise Pink: This is very pigmented and therefore a little bit too strong for me so I don’t really wear it often enough to have an opinion on it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">141 Royal Raspberry: The perfect colour for that vampy look. Honestly you can’t beat it, its dark, its daring, its pigmented, its actually a lot darker than it is showing up in the swatch on my arm, the picture really isn’t doing it any justice at all, trust me, it’s a great lipstick to have in your collection for occasions such as Halloween. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">107: Horrible, pointless, don’t by it. The downfall of this collection. There is always one dud in every range, and this is it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Another bold coloured look for you today.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have blue eyes, so this is a look that doesn’t really do them justice, however, I don’t care because the natural colours which would make my eyes pop are just too boring to use every day so I take any excuse to play with colour.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Therefore, when I drove alongside the sea, whilst on a driving lesson to Felixstowe, I couldn’t help but keep glancing at the sea to watch the sunlight make it glitter, so voila, my take on how the sea looks at dusk.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just to meander a second, I love, love love driving and I cannot wait to get my license because I have come to realise that if you can’t drive in Suffolk then you are basically left stranded in a field.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As you can see in my various different product lists, I covet Barry M and E.L.F. to the point where my make up collection is made up of very little else.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have only recently graduated from University and am still in that horrible stage between student and employment. Fingers crossed I get a job soon. In the meantime I am on a very tight budget. Thankfully, I was a t-total student so I still have some monies left over from my student loan, however, that is dwindling fast due to the extortionate price of driving lessons. Still, when Barry M and E.L.F facebook pages post offers and free shipping codes I can’t resist to grab a bargain.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uL-gytlf900/TOW3tkTzO9I/AAAAAAAAABs/o-sq-klIRp4/s1600/Sea+Prods.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uL-gytlf900/TOW3tkTzO9I/AAAAAAAAABs/o-sq-klIRp4/s320/Sea+Prods.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">To create this look you will need:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Moisturiser: I used Soap and Glory’s Clear Here Daily Moisture Lotion</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Concealer: I used E.L.F.

Not only am I a ditz, I’m a slow ditz. An old primary school teacher used to say “If Gina goes any slower she’ll stop”. In fact there was this one time as a child when mum was able to get out of the car, take the shopping into the house and lock the car before I had even unbuckled my seatbelt :-S</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">With that in mind, my skin care routine is basically non-existent. Therefore, whenever I bother to apply make up (that’s right, it’s not a daily occurrence) I make a point of always having a good cleanse and moisturise beforehand. I have also found that moisturiser works quite well as a foundation base, particularly for powder foundations. However, I don’t slap on my foundation straight afterwards, I like to let the moisturiser sink in first, so I tend to do my eye make-up whilst I wait. This also means that I don’t have to worry about eye shadow fall out because I can wipe it away before I put my foundation on.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So on to the eyes; priming is key, using an eye primer means that you can save a fortune on eye shadow. I don’t own a single high end brand eye shadow because I can get great results from much cheaper brands. Next create a colour base by applying NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk to the inner corner and then the other NYX Jumbo Pencil in Pacific to the outer corner and blend the two together in the middle. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Over this colour base, pack on the lighter blue shade from The Body Shop Baked Eye Shadow in Sapphire. Whilst doing so create a wavy shape by only placing it on the lid and blending out into a small flicked wing.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now blend in the darker blue shade to the outer corner and line the eyes in dark blue.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cover this liner with the Collection 2000 Glam Crystals in POW! You should only need one coat as this glitter liner is packed with glitter. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also, apply the dark blue pencil liner to the bottom lash line and the waterline.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uL-gytlf900/TOW4LiwjO3I/AAAAAAAAAB0/IR1opnsNyuw/s1600/Sea+Front+%252810%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uL-gytlf900/TOW4LiwjO3I/AAAAAAAAAB0/IR1opnsNyuw/s400/Sea+Front+%252810%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">That’s it for the eyes, now the moisturiser should be well and truly sunk in, so clear up any mistakes or fall out ready to apply your foundation and concealer in whatever order you prefer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As I’m using a mineral power foundation and a creamy liquid concealer, I concealed first and then applied my foundation to avoid cakey-ness (mmmm cake)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I’ve decided that from now on my foundation of choice will most likely always be a mineral one, I haven’t used many foundations but I have used all the different types and my skin always feels the most soft when I use mineral foundations. I use E.L.F.s mineral foundation as it is the best-cheapest version of Bare Minerals that I have found so far.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Finally apply your favourite coral lipstick. I have very pigmented lips, and so most coral lipsticks turn to more of a pink/coral shade, which is actually quite a good thing for me as I’m not as daring with my lipsticks as I am with my eye shadow. I can’t help but find pure coral shades to be a little frighteningly unnatural. But remember that’s just my opinion.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

However, that would be pointless.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So I thought I would swatch them all for you. Simply, for the benefit of showing you how pretty they are. I think they look particularly nice in this hot pink pot, I like to keep them on display to show them off teehee.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If there is a collection of anything, I am never satisfied with just owning one or two, I have to own them all. Every book in a series, ever album by an artist and every eye shadow colour from a brand. But usually cost is an issue. Thankfully not with these, they are as cheap as chips (cringe :-S I promise you I am not a cockney)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I bought the whole range from a website called <a href="http://www.love-makeup.co.uk/">www.love-makeup.co.uk</a> for only £2.75. I quite like this website, the layout is easy to navigate, dispatch was efficiently quick and they were delivered well wrapped in both pink tissue paper (nice touch) and bubble wrap, which I gained much joy from popping</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love to use these as a colour base to make my eye shadow colours that little bit more vivid. I can’t get away with using these pencils on their own because I have oily lids so they crease like mad or they fade away to nothingness. So I need to not only use a primer with them to stop them creasing but I also use power eye shadow to set them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I find all of the colours to be very creamy in texture and they all glide on effortlessly. There is certainly no need to tug at your sensitive eye area with these. However, the coverage does vary, with some the application result looks so smooth and flawless they require no blending whatsoever, whereas, others require more work. Some, like Milk for example, are so pigmented to begin with, but if you try to blend them you can easily buff away the product altogether. I prefer to only blend out or shape only the edges, leaving the lids so as to have quite a bit of product for loose, or un-pigmented eye shadows to grab on to. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEtxRfmj2npy9BX6anE6IMMScEndSHcr8U38YjOyQ2yodFhIG4elLe7Rg7sYKivDD_cM_tkFfjUAoX51cle4f1LqO4oFZgFSNygnGT-Ul-Yk8KzMPgHhOEl-d9LDZk4u25gSpOB3U43Z0/s1600/Pencil+Pinks.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEtxRfmj2npy9BX6anE6IMMScEndSHcr8U38YjOyQ2yodFhIG4elLe7Rg7sYKivDD_cM_tkFfjUAoX51cle4f1LqO4oFZgFSNygnGT-Ul-Yk8KzMPgHhOEl-d9LDZk4u25gSpOB3U43Z0/s320/Pencil+Pinks.JPG" width="320" /> </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">1.

As previously mentioned it blends away into practically nothingness, so it is good for the inner corner to widen the eyes and make them look more awake.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cottage Cheese I feel is a great inner corner colour, it’s got all the great attributes of Milk but it has that lovely sheen to it that Milk lacks.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think Lavender and Oyster are too similar, lavender is more purple toned and Oyster more pink, but for me, that isn’t enough of a difference to qualify having both in my collection. If you want a very light pink or purple, then either would work in my opinion.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Strawberry Milk is a yummy colour, but it’s for the more daring person, vivid pinks around the eye can make someone look tired or worse, ill. This would have to be used in moderation to try and avoid this.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">All I can say about yogurt is that it is the perfect pink, because it’s beige pink. All the prettiness of pink with all the goodness of brown (mmm Hovis Bread)</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am also in love with this time of year, autumn is perfect in my opinion. The colours of autumn just take my breath away. I am experiencing all over again the joy of leaves crunching under foot, wearing my cosy scarves and watching the landscape change. I’m a very lucky girl in that I recently moved to Suffolk where autumn is all the more beautiful. I grew up in Greater London and the country parks there offered up only a tenth of the beauty I can see just from my little bedroom window.</span><br />
