Purple, just because...

BeneThese are the pictures from the last post that I finally got around to posting.

I had the impulse to play with makeup the other night, as I often do.  And I indulged the impulse, as I too often don't.  I felt like using some dark and vivid purple because I rarely have occasion to wear it.  Despite being a makeup addict, I am not now nor have I ever been, the type that goes out of her way to wear makeup every single day.  In fact, I haven't worn makeup daily since the late 90's.  I only wear it when I'm going out with my fiance, parties, special occasions, etc.  There have been months at a time where I went without anything other than chapstick haha.  Yet here I sit with a fairly massive collection of makeup...especially eyeshadow, my grand weakness.  It's so terribly hard to resist the magnetic pull of the colors.  All laid out so pretty and inviting, just waiting for you to swatch them on your wrist and realize you can't walk away without at least one. Uhhg, it's so that I literally can't go near one of my usual makeup haunts unless I've got a little spare cash or I've got empty eyeshadow pots to trade in for free stuff.

Anyways, back to the look of the day.  The pictures are not great.  I'm hardly a photographer and my camera is old by new tech standards.  I did this at night so the lighting was bad, and I was cooking dinner so I blurred the sweat off my face with Photoshop in the last 2 pictures haha.  It was prettier than it looks here since the colors are not all that distinguishable in the pictures.
