Tiring (Yet Fulfilling) Tuesday

It’s only Tuesday and I feel so spent. :-/ Me thinks it’s the weather + lack of caffeine. It’s already Jan 17 and I’ve only had one espresso to for 2012! Withdrawal symptoms — yes I definitely have it (and my eyebags are giving that fact away!).

I wore this nutty face to a beauty editorial stint earlier. My first peg was my “daily” taupe look but my boss for the day didn’t like it. She pulled out an old photo where I was wearing red, violet, and blue eye shadow and wanted to do something like that. I stuck with red just because it’s so delish, wildly unexpected, saucy, and well, hot.

I’m absolutely nuts about True Red, Sunny Yellow, Peach Love, and Forest Green from my Beauty Pro Cosmetics Crazy Colour palette. They glide like butter and stay on like glue. In one word: EPIC. I’d wear this look everyday to work except that I work at midnight and trust me — with a face like this, my mom won’t believe I’m off to the office. :)

  2. Hi Phoebe
    You still look great even though you said in this post that you are tired. Maybe it’s the attitude! You still rock especially in the first photo!
