I love Coral +

One of my favourite colours is Coral. I find coral just really suits my hair colour, eyes and skin tone. It makes me feel vibrant, tanned and happy :) When I wear something coral I usually pair my make up by using MAC Paradisco eye shadow.  It's one of my HG eye shadows. Paradisco is a bright pinky-coral with pearl (frost finish)
Today I was wearing a silky coral corset top so here is my FOTD to match:
♥ Eyes:
MAC Painpot - Rubenesque (base)
MAC Paradisco (all over lid)
MAC Crochet (Crease)
MAC Mulch (lower lash line and a little in outer V)
MAC Dazzlelight (inner corner of eye & under browbone)
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk (waterline)
MAC Liquid Eye Liner (top lash line)
Nutrimetics Curvy Lash XL Mascara
  
♥Lips:
Lancome Juicy Tube - Lychee

I normally pair Paradisco with neutrals, golds, browns, plums and pink eye shadows. Do you own Paradisco and if so what colours do you match it with? Would love to know ♥

Recent Shopping Haul =

Some recent shopping purchases.
I went a little "crazy" at
Country Road (woops)
Love their 2010 Urban Career collection. I got:

Country Road Black Low Rise Skinny Jean
Country Road Black Dustin Leather Boots
Boots & Jeans together

I really needed some new black boots and just fell in love when I saw these! I have pretty skinny calves so I always struggle to find boots that are not too loose fitting around my legs. These black boots were a perfect fit and come up quite high, just below the knee. With no zips they are a bit of a mission to get on!! But once on, they fit like a glove. Will just have to remember not to wear these boots when out shopping or something because that would be a nightmare haha.

Country Road Black Long Line Double Breasted Blazer

Then I also got a dress from Augustine International  
The designer, Kelly Coe, is an up and coming NZ designer. She is a close friend of one of my friends so we got to pre-order some of her 2010 Winter collection earlier last year. The dress I ordered arrived yesterday!

Elegantly Elle Dress




It's a pretty purple/blue silky dress with heavy gold beading at the bottom. Initially I was quite worried to order something without getting to try it on, but tried it on last night and was happy with the look!


Now I need to avoid the shops for a while to save money :) I am off to Sydney (Australia) for a long Easter weekend in April so no clothes shopping until that trip!!!

A little steamy..

Decided to use my new MAC Steamy eye shadow today to create a look that's a little steamy ;)
Love the POP of colour this look gives without it being too over the top! Such a gorgeous teal/green/blue colour.
♥  Eyes:
MAC Paintpot - Bare Canvas (Base all over lid)
MAC Naked Pigment (all over lid)
MAC Steamy (To line lower and upper lashline)
MAC Smolder (waterline)
A small bit of CS Gel Liner- True Black (along top lash line)
Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara

♥ Lips:
MAC Angel Lipstick

Je t'aime

My nail of the day is ORLY nail polish in the colour "Je t'aime".
It's a very pretty soft milky pink colour, this is 2 coats.

I only have this in a miniature bottle - it is one of their colours from a French manicure range.
ORLY nail polishes are a little cheaper than OPI here in NZ but I personally think the quality is just as good.
