A couple of weeks ago I picked up my first Gorgeous Cosmetics eyeshadow, Mint Julip, on sale at Zuza in Melbourne. (My make-up is actually stored in a Gorgeous cosmetics case my husband gave me for Christmas a few years ago, but until now I had not tried their products!!)
I've just checked out their website http://www.gorgeouscosmetics.com.au/ and Gorgeous Cosmetics is actually an Australian brand founded by qualified make-up and hairdresser David McConnell. There are a number of stores located in Melbourne & Sydney.
I wore Mint Julip yesterday and it held up extremely well in the heat with minimal creasing by the end of the day. Now, that's not bad considering I never wear a primer or base on my eyelids! Mint Julip is a very wearable warm green shade with a gold shimmer throughout. I thought a warm green would work well with my green eyes without overwhelming them.
What I used:
- Mint Julip brushed all over lid and blended in to crease
- Chanel white gold eyeshadow from 24 Interferentiels quad in inner corner
- MAC Powerpoint eye pencil in Hand Forged on upper lid
- Maybelline Lash Discovery mini-brush waterproof mascara in Very Black
It ended up with a very subtle, wearable result I think.
Before I go, a random photo of the green shell bracelet I wore yesterday. This is another great gift from a friend. She brought it back from Fiji:
I'm off to a very prolific start with my blog as I'm taking advantage of the last few days I have at home before my son resumes school and I head back to work!
That's all for now.
