Makeup Files

When I entered the bathroom today, where I do my makeup, I was confronted with a decision. What should I do? What colors should I use on my eyes? What kind of look am I thinking of today?

Then I thought of it: emerald. I wanted to use some sort of emerald green in my crease.

This is how it turned out:

You can’t tell, but I totally have pajama pants on. It’s a cozy day!

This look consisted only of eye makeup. I didn’t put anything on my face or lips. Why? I just didn’t feel like it.

I promise it looks more emerald-y in real life.

Here’s what I used and how I used it!

• Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy wherever I planned to apply eye shadow (so practically everywhere.)
• Sephora Eye Shadow in Aspen Summit (shimmery white) at the inside corner of my eye and up around to just under my brow bone.
• Fyrinnae Loose Eye Shadow in Polar Bear (shimmery light yellow/gold) on the rest of my eyelid. I put it on any area that I didn’t add Aspen Summit to.
• Luzier Eye Shadow in Peacock (shimmery emerald green) at the crease, blending up to the brow bone. And Pacific (shimmery blue) blended into the crease a little.
• e.l.f. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black along the top lash line.
• Cover Girl LashBlast Fusion mascara in Black Brown on the top and bottom lashes.

I’m satisfied with the way it turned out.

As to the title of this post, we just finished up a nice 3 day weekend here in the US because of Labor Day.

It got me thinking about how awesome 3 day weekends are. I’d much rather have 3 days off than 2.

And then I realized something awesome. I’m self employed. I can do whatever I want! So I did the calculations and am now planning to take 3 days off every weekend.  This week is a trial to see how it goes.

The only work I plan to do on Fridays now is a Makeup Files post. And then that may only be sometimes. You shouldn’t see much change here, if anything at all. But you WILL notice a much more relaxed and happier Trisha.

Nice!
