Hello everyone,
I don’t know about you but I’m so glad it’s Friday! This week’s been hectic and I can’t wait to just relax and do nothing this weekend lol. But one thing I’ll definitely do is experimenting with makeup and testing a few new products I’ve received lately. Talking about makeup, hare’s the latest look I did. I wanted to do something fierce with pinks and purples and here’s what came out. Please let me know what you think and constructive criticism is always welcome. 
Products used:
- NYX Eyeshadow Base in White
- Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
- Formula D eyeshadow in It Girl
- Kiko Eyeshadow #43 Vinaccia Scuro
- Sleek I-Divine Circus Palette
- Formula D eyeshadow in Pink Bunny
- Layla Lash Art mascara in black
- YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation
- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Porcelain
- Formula D Blushes
- Wet n Wild Cover All Concealer Palette
- Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Rose Petal
Directions:
– Apply an eyeshadow primer (I used NYX Eyeshadow Base in White) all over your lid. The white will make the colors pop more than a nude base and help the shade last longer.
– Apply Fyrinnae’s Pixie Epoxy (if you don’t have, you can skip this step) on the lid to make the colors really pop.
- Pat a medium pink eyeshadow (I used Formula D eyeshadow in It Girl) on your lid.
- Sweep a reddish purple shade (I used Kiko Eyeshadow #43 Vinaccia Scuro) on your crease and blend.
- Apply a pinkish purple shade (I used the one in the Sleek Circus palette) on the crease on top of the reddish purple shade you previously applied and blend well.
- Apply a pale pink shade (I used Formula D eyeshadow in Pink Bunny) on the browbone to highlight.
- Sweep a deep dark purple (I used the one in the Sleek Circus palette) on the crease, in the socket line. Just draw a thin line with a pencil brush and blend the edges well. Apply the same shade on the lower lashline and blend again.
- Finish off the eyes by applying mascara.
- On your face, apply your usual foundation (I used YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation in no.5) and then concealer (I used Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Porcelain) to cover dark circles or any other imperfection you may have.
- Sweep a subtle shimmery pink blush (I used Formula D blush in Lotus) on your cheeks and and highlight the cheekbones, middle of the nose and chin with a white highlighter (I used Wet n Wild Cover All Concealer Palette).
- Sweep an antique rose lipstick (I used Sleek True Color lipstick in Rose Petal) and you’re done!
In other news, I’ve also been tagged by two lovely ladies (sorry it took me so long to do the tag!), so here we go.
A Tag About Me
The creative and really nice Mylanqolia wanted to know more about me and asked me some interesting questions in her tag:
1. What’s your nick name?
Gio
2. What was the most embarrassing/ awkward moment in your life?
Oh My! There are so many, like falling down the stair in front of everyone or mistaking a wardrobe door for a bathroom door. It happened 9 years ago but it’s till haunting me!
3. Could you show your funniest or craziest picture? If you do so, I’ll show mine.
I don’t have any crazy picture of me. I usually just delete those. 
4. How would you describe your childhood days in three words?
Carefree, fun, creative.
5. Do you collect anything? If so, what do you collect?
No, I don’t. Some people may say I collect makeup since I have a very big stash, but I only buy what I need really. I just happen to need a lot of things, you know? lol.
6. Do you have a pet?
Not at the moment, but I’d love to have a cat.
7. What is your favourite and your most hated song in your music collection?
My favourite song in my collection is One from U2. I don’t really have any that I hate. There are a couple of tracks on some albums that I don’t particularly like but I don’t really hate them.
8. What is your favorite tv show at the moment?
Just one? Probably Supernatural. But I love Glee too.

1. What’s your nick name?
Tammo (only family and LB boyfriend are allowed to call me that, though)
2. What was the most embarrassing/ awkward moment in your life?
There are way too many! I trip and bump into things a lot. I’ve also fallen UP stairs quite a few times.
3. Could you show your funniest or craziest picture? There are too many of those, too!
4. How would you describe your childhood days in three words?
Creative, stifling, chaotic
5. Do you collect anything? If so, what do you collect?
Nope.

One of my favorites is “Cherish the Day” by Sade (LOVE her!). I don’t have any songs in my collection that I hate. Why would they be in my collection if I hated them?

Tammy´s last [type] ..Skin Care Tip from Celebrity Esthetician- Renee Rouleau
Tammy, thanks. Pinks rock, you should wear them more often!
My bf is obsessed with Dexter and keeps telling me how good it is but I haven’t watched it yet cos some of the violent scenes put off. I already have to watch Supernatural through my fingers cos I find some of the scenes scary. Yes, I’m the biggest wimp you’ll ever meet *blushes*
Yay to purples(violets) and pink! nice look!
Vonvon´s last [type] ..Reviews- Aqualabel Whitening Range – White Up Lotion- White Up Emulsion & Aqua Enhancer WT
Vonvon, thanks. Purples are beautiful, aren’t they? And so are pinks.
Yay, you’ve answered the tag quessies and did another great eye make up! Thanks so much for doing so. As for the eye make uo, I have to mention that you’ve chosen a perfect colour combo to make your green eyes pop. Well done! By the way, I’ll do the tag about 10 things I love very soon. I’m very sure that chocolate is on the list, too.
Mylanqolia, you’re welcome. I really enjoyed answering your questions and I’m only sorry it took me a while to do so. *blushes* Aww thank you! I’m glad you like it. And I can’t wait to read your answers to the 10 things I love tags.
That purple is gorgeous! I really like the colors you chose in this look
p.s. your brows define your face so well!
makeup morsels´s last [type] ..NOTD- Matte Sparkles
Makeup Morsels, aww thank you! You’re too kind!
Parli anche francese? Be’ ma allora questo è amore! Mi dichiaro! Ahaha.
Se al primo posto ci sono i libri, meglio ancora, lavoro per le case editrici.
Domanda sciocca: sei italiana o inglese? Purtroppo non conosco così bene la lingua da poterlo capire qui sul blog e per me scrivi in maniera chiarissima.
PS I Lip tars non li hai ancora provati? Ti consiglio di farlo, sono una vera scoperta.
Marguerite N.´s last [type] ..OCC Lip Tar Review & Swatches
Marguerite, purtroppo non parlo francese, so solo alcune basi ma è una lingua che mi piace molto e voglio imparare. avevo pensato di fare un corso qualche tempo fa ma purtroppo non si è raggiunto il numero minimo di iscritti e quindi non se ne è fatto niente.
Io adoro i libri e lavorare per una casa editrice deve essere molto bello ed interessante, ti invidio.
Io sono italiana, l’inglese l’ho studiato da sola.
Purtroppo non ancora ma adesso che sono arrivati su Love-makeup.co.uk non ho più scuse, li proverò sicuramente.
Oh I love the eye makeup!!! <3
Stavroula Plag´s last [type] ..Got a blog Add it HERE!
Stavroula, thank you! I’m glad you do.
Gio allora ti invidio moltissimo perché l’inglese è la mia rovina. Purtroppo non mi è mai piaciuto, mentre per il francese è ben diverso, ho vissuto a intervalli a Lione. Ho un legame particolare con la Francia.
Col blog sto cercando di rispolverare il mio inglese, anche perché è fondamentale anche per il lavoro.
Avrei detto fossi inglese, wow.
Marguerite N.´s last [type] ..Outfit3- I love Carrot pants!
Marguerito, io ti invidio molto per aver vissuto in Francia. Ho sempre desiderato visitare Lione, deve essere una città meravigliosa. Io sono stata solo a Parigi, ma per 3 giorni quindi non ho visto molto ma non vedo l’ora di tornarci.
