First of all ... Sugarsweet ... my plan was to buy lollipop loving and refined MSF. I only bought lollipop loving. The MSF just seemed a little too pale so i left it behind. In the tube lollipop loving looks so gorgeous with little reflects of gold and green but to be honest, I think i kind of look like someone's gran with it on! Maybe, i will get used to it or find other colours that go better with it.
For yesterdays look, I decided to go a little girly and used another of my Body Shop gifts ... Shimmer Cube Palette 18. These are all pastel like colours which i usually steer clear from as I really don't think they suit me. I usually go for neutrals, greys, blacks or bold jewel like tones.

I think it is safe to say these colours aren't very me and don't really compliment my colouring in anyway but it was good to change it up for the day.
I also wore this cute little butterfly clip from H&M... so springlike!
You might notice my hair looking a bit better too - at last! Its all thanks to The Body Shops Olive shampoo and conditioner. It seems to have breathed a bit of life and gloss back into my hair. It did make it a little fluffy however, but I was happy to deal with that as long as it wasn't looking dead like it has done. I have a visit booked for the hair fairy on Saturday though so that should solve my hair crisis for good!!
You look really different in the top photo - in a good way tho, gorgeous!! Love the mineral look!!!
ReplyDeleteI know i think i look different too ... probably why i don't wear pastel colours! Plus i look grumpy lol! I wasn't though .. was just concentrating on pressing the button on the camphone - doh! lol! x
ReplyDeleteI like this- I think the green eyeshadow compliments your eyes and I think everything you have on looks very pretty. The Shimmer cubes seem great! xx
ReplyDeleteI really like those shades on you, they suit you. Perhaps because you're not used to it you aren't too keen? I really like it though :) x x x
ReplyDelete@Natalia @Laura Thanks .... it maybe is because i am not used to seeing myself in these colours .. i always think they make me look washed out. Might need to try similar looks out more often xx
ReplyDeleteI think it's a pretty look, I know you 're probably into neutrals and smokeys (same here btw lol), but I think it works on you! ;)
ReplyDelete@Tina, Thank you! I think i will definitely play about with these colours again .. I am sure i will grow to like them a lot more x
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I'm hooked on the neutrals too! A smokey eye with darker colour in the outer, pastel underneath and trusty eyeliner would look gorgeous on you xx
ReplyDelete@Natalia .. I might just try that ... i usually always choose the wrong colour underneath my eye.. never seems to compliement the darker colour but will do a bit of experimentation methinks! xx
ReplyDeleteI actually think these colours look great on you - you are probably not used to seeing them on yourself. They stand out really well on your skintone and compliment it. It would also look nice as a lid colour with a darker smoked out crease - best of both worlds! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm rubbish at eyeshadow! maybe dark grey with the green? xx
ReplyDeleteThat clip is gorgeous. I adore cute little accessories like that. xxx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty look! x
ReplyDeletei really like this, so pretty, you look like a little doll- gorgeous! don't be scared of these colours, they suit you! xxx
ReplyDeletep.s go back for refined, it's so beautiful! x
ReplyDelete@Mizzworthy ... thanks .. i will try it with the dark smoked out crease and see how that goes too. And i'm sorry i didn't get back to ur comment on ur blog - it was so lovely to meet you at last weeks event .. just a pity didn't have more time to chat to one another .. we shld do a dedicated blogger event!! Lol xx
ReplyDelete@ Hele .... I could throttle you for making me want to go and buy more LOL.. just when i had convinced myself to stop spending so much ...ok, refined it is then!! xx
Thanks for all the comments everyone, i think you have all convinced me to experiment with pastel colours xx
