Greens, bumps, and bruises…& swatches

Flourishing really is one of my favorite grubby green eye shadows. It’s just warm enough to really pop against my blue eyes, heavily pigmented, and not too bright for ‘everyday’ wear in summertime in Texas.
Yesterday, to make my little trip to urgent care, I had to put on makeup before we left (Hey. Don’t judge me. I have priorities.) so I went for something really simple and put Flourishing over Moss Scape paintpot. Holy smokes I didn’t know that was going to be such a hot smoky look!
But, this is Monday’s FOTD, not Sunday’s…so…today I used (click the jump for more pics and a product listing, plus swatches!):


Eyes:
Soft Ochre
Daisychain
Flourishing
ChinChina (By Stila, one of the best matte browns in the history of…like…ever)
Engraved PP
Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara (Tarte’s contribution to my little black book of mascaras…)
Cheeks:
Pleasureflush
Northern Light
Lips:
Rock Out Slimshine
Bendel Girl Lipglass
And, to show you why I went to see the sawbones…

Thank heavens, it’s not broken, but it does hurt like a sumbitch…and typing makes me look like I’m actually playing a keytar, but it could have been a LOT worse than it actually was. A lot.
Also, AppleDiva wanted me to swatch Pleasureflush vs Light Flush today and post it on the blog so she could see…soooo…


That’s Light Flush on the left, and Pleasureflush on the right. ![]()

Thanks doll.
I appreciate the well wishes.
Light Flush is gorgeous…It just doesn’t show up on me as well as I’d like it to…Warmed (from the same collection) really stole my heart when it comes to the newest MSFs.
