FOTD with Urban Decay Book of Shadows III

FOTD for Sunday using the Urban Decay Book of Shadows III - check out the earlier reveal post with swatches and pictures. It's a little overdue as I haven't been feeling that great this past 2 weeks. Still sick with a bad cough on top of work stress so haven't really felt or looked good enough to take pictures.

Anyway instead of wallowing in my Hello Kitty jammies all weekend playing Mass Effect 2 decided to "blow the stink off" (as J would say). It's amazing how just putting on some makeup and dressing up to go out can brighten your day.

Eyes were done using the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol III. Eyelids primed with MAC Painterly Paint Pot. Bordello (1) was applied all over the lid but mostly on inner corner. Psychedelic Sister (2) patted on mid-outer lid. Then Last Call (3a) on the edge, outer-V and crease. It was deepened with Rockstar (3b). Should have put more Last Call, Rockstar to be more defined. I'm a little afraid of the outer-V section.

Shades used

Close up - know i don't have a cute nose :(

Eyeliner on the waterline and upper lid was 24/7 in Zero, smudged with Suspect (4) - can't really see it but just felt like it. MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack was applied on top of it all. Bottom waterline a smidge of the 24/7 eye pencil in Ransom to just give it a little purple to tie in with the upper lids.

Outfit of the day

Paired it with black heels and Le Pliage in Navy. Accessories was kept to a minimum, nothing except these cute pink chandelier Diva earrings I picked up on Friday.

I was glad to finally be rid of the 'swimsuit mark' that I had from swimming twice a day but it's back after running swim classes for a few weeks earlier this year. I kinda hate it as it will take forever to go away. Unless I go sunbathe nude somewhere so that everything will be even :o

The Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. 3 has been great so far. Must watch out for the glitter though. Used it all through the work week and by the end of the day there were always some sparkles here or there. This was the only combo that didn't leave any glitter on the face.
