for the eyeballs (but not in the eyeballs)
It’s been awhile since I showed you the makeup products I’ve been using of late, so ta da, a blog post dedicated to my favourite eye makeup products. One of them will already be familiar to you (if you’ve been here with me for awhile) since it’s been my go-to for ages now, but the others are ones I have not yet talked about. So let’s get to it, shall we.
lashes
I talked about Roller Lash awhile back, but it’s still my go to mascara. There is no sense in rapping on about it again since I have a lengthy post here that you can read, but I didn’t want to leave her out since I haven’t found a mascara I like nearly as much as her since the day we became acquainted .
lids
I’ve been using this UD smoky palette pretty much everyday since I received it as a Christmas gift. It’s a great palette for everyday wear, with a mixture of matte and shimmer shades, you need little else to take you from day to night. My fav shades are, combust (there is nearly nothing left), whiskey, high, dirtysweet, radar and thirteen. I usually mix those shades up, creating a really natural look. I prefer my shadows to be sort of neutral and not over the top, so this palette is perfect for that, but also works wonders for an intense smoky eye.
liner
I have been using Revlon Colourstay liquid liner since I don’t even know when (actually. it’s been years). I think it was my mother that originally introduced me (and by introduced I mean, I went into her makeup drawer and used it). I will absolutely use no other liquid liner now. It’s a bit different in that it’s like a quill and ink pot rather than your regular pen design, but I find the design is what makes it the best. It gives for excellent precision and control, and you can create both a very thin or thick line, no problem. And like it purports, you rarely need to reapply once it’s on.

OH THE POSSIBILITIES!
You see me rollin’. We should talk about my rolling method, because I think it will be helpful in keeping that ribbon shape when you are working with a small, square kerchief. Here’s how! I roll the scarf by bringing the opposite corners together to form a triangle, then I roll the long end toward the triangles peak till it is almost all the way rolled, then I take the peak and roll it toward the long end and I wrap the long end around the rolled peak (this way your peak won’t be peeking out all day), and voilà, you have a rolled kerchief that shouldn’t come undone right fast.
En Français: This is how I have been wearing my kerchiefs nearly everyday; just tied it into a knot around the neck. I usually wear the knot off to the side because it feels v Parisian, and if there is one thing I wish, it is to be born Parisian…or British.
Lil Bow Peep: Dress up any old hairstyle; tie your kerchief into a bow around your pony or braid. It makes an other wise simple hairstyle a little less simple.
Tiedy Up: You can use the kerchief to actually pull the hair out of your face or decoratively as a hairband; tie the loose ends together and either have them out and visible like a bow, or pull the loose ends under to be hidden beneath your hair.
Wild Wild West: Back in my up tha punx days, I sported a bandana like this almost always; to achieve this look its very similar to our rolling method, only this time don’t roll all the way and tie the kerchief loosely around your neck with the peak at the front (off the the side for *coolness*).
are for clothes, or soup cans, or whatever
don’t hug yourself in photos, it’s weird.
