I know..I know...
I've been missing for more than a week and anyone reading this blog must have started to question whether I've gone MIA as usual and leave this blog abandoned.
No, I didn't, and I don't plan to do so.
It's just, last week wasn't exactly my greatest week, as I was down with cold, cough, and sore-throat. The antibiotic prescribed cured them but causing new problem : stomach disorder. For 5 days long, I was having problems with my "output". Let's just say, they have turned into liquids rather than normal solid-y form.
Yaiks...I know...
Ok, enough about nasty stuff. Let's go to beautiful stuffs.
Since I was not in a good shape, I passed the whole week sporting looks that are not worthy to mention. And this week hasn't been exactly better. I've got 2 decent enough looks, but I only managed to snap one. So, here it is, nude-y look featuring cream eyeshadow from Bobbi Brown :

But if you look closer, you'll notice that I don't use any darker shadow to define creases, and there are sparkles in this look, resulting from the Black Pearl, one of Bobbi Brown's Metallic Longwear Creamshadow that I pat on top of the Ballet Pink from Bobbi's original Longwear Creamshadow.
Black Pearl is a purple-y and sheer in finish, but it also has metallic sparkles in it. On its own, Black Pearl can be a bit grayish, but it's great to put on top of any shadow just to amp it up a little bit, especially if you've got a date say on Friday night and you want to look more posh but not too much. Ballet Pink is a pink-y, subtle flesh-toned cream shadow, perfect if you want to freshen up your eyes with just a hint of sheer glow. Both are long wear, meaning these cream shadows will stay on your lids all day long and beyond, until you take them off with waterproof makeup remover. I'm not kidding : these bad girls stay put, they do not crease, they do not lose their pigmentation. They should be named Eternal Wear Cream Shadow.
Ok the last line was just kidding...
Anyway, these cream shadows are also easy to put on. I find that using fingers give better result rather than brush, AFTER I splurged with buying Bobbi's Cream Shadow Brush. At least that's the case for me. The brush did not give smoother result, and it somehow would not retain its original shape and density after cleaned after 1st use. Perhaps I've been using wrong techniques, and wrong cleanser. I haven't used the brush for quite some time lately. Maybe I'll give it another shot next week.
What is your plan for the coming weekend? I just dodged and saved myself from a possibility to work over the weekend, but it made me having to come to office very early on coming Monday. Hmm...I never like Monday, not to mention having to come in early. But I guess that's better than to work on Saturday and Sunday, don't you think?
Alrite...have a great weekend then, and see you (hopefully!) on Monday ;)
