{349} eyeshadows

i used eyeshadow and eyeliners to write on my eyelids but i'd never carved my name into my treasured sephora box of eyeshadows...until today. i sacrificed my sacred eyeshadows for this project.

{110} eye make-up

well, it took one awfully failed attempt at writing my name on my eyelids before i got one that worked and i actually liked. it isn't quite on the eyelids, as i'd planned, but it still works. who knew that drawing eyeliner on your eyes, backwards in the mirror would be difficult? ;)

(the awfully failed first attempt. drawing it on the eyelid and on eyeshadow turned out to be my biggest downfall.)

in other news, i love eye make-up. i love wearing different colours to suit my mood or to contrast (NEVER MATCH IT TO YOUR CLOTHES!) with what i'm wearing for the day. not all colours have been sampled yet but at least every hue makes its way onto my eyelids once a week.

i just got my new perscription sunglasses and so i've been thinking about my eyes. i'm finally used to the new perscription in them and i'm not getting headaches anymore which is awesome. now, i have only one month left to decide whether i want to get a new pair of regular glasses as well. if i do, i get $130 off the frames. that would be awesome and i do want new glasses eventually anyway. i just have to figure out how much they'll still cost me! some say that i should think about switching to contacts but a) i'm not putting my finger in my eye. b) i'm not putting a foreign object into my eye. and 3) glasses are my safety blanket. i only feel comfortable if i have them on my face. i've had them for 16 years and i can't imagine not wearing them every day! i love my glasses (but i'd love them more if they were new!).
