Well I went on a zen haul today. Aside from the two chokers (see the Fashion Blog), I didn't get anything.
I dunno...sometimes the point is not so much to buy a lot of stuff. It's to get out of the house and do something mindless and entertaining.
I finally saw two items I'd been thinking about for a long time, both Milani. One is the "Antique Gold" eyeshadow. Interestingly, it's...green. It's a dark gold with a distinct green cast. Reminded me of Jane "Magical Mushroom" but gold and green rather than gold, brown and green.
(Oh yeah, I checked Big Lots to see if they had any Jane. Not even one Jane item. phhhhht)
I also saw Milani Luminous blush, which is purported to be a dead look-alike for the popular Nars Orgasm blush. It looked beautiful in the pan, I almost got it (and would no doubt love it if I had). The Antique Gold, well, I suspect it's best for brown or hazel eyes. Green shadows and brown/hazel eyes are perfect together.
It's just that I just bought MAC Blushbaby blush. I would like to commit.
Oh, and do they have shadows (Milani). There was a deep purple shimmer called Deep Desire. For the life of me, now I can't remember what Purple Heart looked like. It was too cool on me, it turned ashy. But wondering if this could be a lookalike.
There was also a redder version called Marooned. And something called Java Beans. Purple with a lot of gold. And Icy Plum...cool purple shimmer.
I gave some brief thought to buying another lipstick and decided against it. I need something reddish. Not strong red, just a little bit red on a brown base. That's for later though, as I say, I want to use what I have first.
