I've probably been listening to a little too much of Big Bang's new songs, especially Fantastic Baby, which always brings bright vivid colours to mind. I mean, just take a look at their outfits (and GD's hair wtf). Also, I cannot get "boom shakalaka" out of my head.


Music playlist repetition aside, I seriously love the combination of pink and purple. Add to that my current obsession with the various shades of mint/turquoise, and you get this "Eye of the Day" look, which I've named Pur-Pink (I know, not very original, but... meh). :P



I wouldn't dare to wear a combination of such bold colours out in public, so I only experiment with them at home. I usually keep my eyeshadow makeup neutral and toned down, unless it's for special occasions.

The colours I used are all from the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary palette. The eyeshadows are a dream to work with - they're so pigmented and buttery smooth! I was really attracted by the bright pink and purple eyeshadows in the palette at first, but after purchasing it, I found myself using more of the brown and gold shades instead.

Super love the sturdy metal packaging! ♥

Here are the colours I used in this look:


With the exception of Blackout, which is matte black, all the other colours in this palette are shimmery. Normally I dislike shimmery/glittery eyeshadows, but these babies are just perfect! They apply with a nice sheen that isn't over-the-top.


A diagram because I'm too lazy to describe it, and I know people would prefer to see pictures. :P That dark purplish line on the upper lash line is actually black eyeliner; I applied the eyeshadows over it, that's why it looks purple. ^^" Hey, it doesn't look that bad, right? :D

The finished look. :)

I've been sporting candy pastel nails for the past few days. The weather has been pretty gloomy lately, so the bright colours always cheer me up.


Oh, and the pair of "kiddy shoes for adults" I've been wanting and then waiting for like forever finally arrived! ("Kiddy shoes" because they're straps instead of laces, lol ~_~) Couldn't decide between blue, green and pink, but in the end I decided that the blue was nicer. Yay for lazy peeps like me who can't be bothered to tie shoelaces. XD
