EB Samples - Bright Spring Blues

Today is hot. As in, 27C in the shade hot. In a country that doesn't believe in aircon, windows that open all the way, fans, eaves, or any real form of ventilation or shade, this is actually very warm. I would really not want to take the Tube today, that's for sure.

This is, of course, a perfect day to wear a full face of makeup over sunscreen. 

Oh well, at least I was sensible enough to wear a sleeveless top - under the jacket I needed to keep the sun off. 

These colours aren't bad - maybe not my ideal blues, but not awful. I did notice that the pale colour (Party Animal) looked quite green on its own, which is odd, because it's a pale baby blue pigment - albeit quite a warm one. 

Eyes - 

Base: Party Animal

Midshade and lower lashline: Conscientious

Dark bits: Mediatrix

Lashes: Collection Colour Lash All Day Mascara in 5 Electric Blue

Eyebrows: Illamasqua Eyebrow cake in Stark

Lips: L'oreal 6hr Glam Shine in 110 Addictive Peach

Face - 

Sunscreen: SunSense Sport Milk SPF 50+

Primer: Illamasqua Hydra Veil

Foundation: Illamasqua Rich Liquid 105 & Nude by Nature Liquid Mineral Foundation in Fair

No blush, because I was flushed and sweaty enough from the weather!

EB samples galore - Bright Spring greens

I tested some of my Elea Blake samples again today. I wasn't feeling particularly energetic, so I went for something very simple. A single colour all over the lid, with a darker colour along the lashline, and some sparkly pigment dusted over a clear mascara. I didn't bother with foundation or blusher today. So my skin is there in all its uncorrected, natural glory. Warts and all, as they say. Although in my case it's freckles, wrinkles, and bumps.

Eyes:
Shade: Superfluous
Lashline: Manipulative
Lashes: Collection Colourlash in Clear + Illamasqua pigment in Chasm.

Lips: L'oreal Glam Shine 6hr in 110 Addictive Peach.

So - good or bad? I think it's a fun, fresh colour set, although I'll try a different technique to make my lashes more vivid next time. And I think it could do with a bit of shimmer on the inner corner and just under the brows. Possibly a teal tightline. Thoughts, suggestions, opinions?
