Looks: Green EOTD + Twitter

in looks

Hi guys,

some of you have asked me when I was going to post some looks. Well, when I first started the blog, I had planned to make FOTDs a regular feature. Even though you could count the times I took pictures in my life on oneĀ  hand, I didn’t think taking pictures of makeup could be that difficult, right? Wrong! I’ve literally taken thousands of pictures in the past months and they all came out blurry, grainy or the colors were washed out. I’m slightly improving (at least I think so), so I’ve decided to show you an EOTD (I’m still working on taking decent pix of a full face). The colors aren’t perfect and the Sephora eyeshadow looked slightly more purple in the flesh, but this is the best I could do. Hope you like it.

Products used:
- UDPP Primer Potion
- L’Oreal Color Appeal Trio Pro in Oriental Beauty: light green shade (lid)
- Sephora Colorful Pearl Mono Eyeshadow no.12 (outer lid and crease)
- Bottega Verde my box palette: sheer pink (inner crease and lower lashline) and sheer beige (highlighter) shades
- Chanel Exceptionnel mascara

A couple of days ago, I’ve finally joined Twitter. I’m still trying to figure out how it works but I think I’m already addicted lol. If you have an account, please add me so we can start chatting!

You can find me here.

I look forward to talking to all of you soon!

Great look!
What are you talking about? The picture looks great. When I first started I didn’t realize how hard taking a picture is., I still have problems.
And I love love your long lashes.

Connie: Thanks. That is one of my fave color combos, I wear it a lot. And I thought it was about time I posted a look! Hopefully I’ll be able to post more soon.

sab: thanks a lot hun! I was very nervous about posting it, I’m glad you guys like it. And I hope to post a full face shot soon.
I don’t have facebook but I think I might get an account soon, everyone is telling me to do that. I’ll let you know when I do :)

Jnie: thank you. My lashes are quite short, but Chanel exceptionnel gives a lot of lenght, I love it! Taking good pictures is sooo hard! I still have lots of problems esp with lighting. But I’ll keep practicing until I improve. And your pix are good!

jojoba: thanks. This is one of my fave looks and one that I wear often. My lashes aren’t that good without mascara, but Chanel exceptionnel works wonders.
I’ve just joined so I’m still trying to figure out all the various functions, but so far it’s been pretty easy. I didn’t think I would like it honestly but I’m loving it now!
