Load With Kisses


I've worn Illamasqua's Load twice now, and both times I've had to stamp red lipstick kisses over it.  This color, and name, begs for smack marks.  I did OPI Red Fortune Cookie and Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby on my ring finger with a little gold stud.

.........But that's OK, cause Carmen Miranda was cool.


And so are my new Miss L Fire shoes.

Crows Toes TIKI TORCH




Crows Toes Tiki Torch!  Yum, yum!  (Just between you and I...I would have bought it for the name alone)  This was 3 coats and it sparkled wonderfully in the sun.  Now CT's Halloween collection is almost out and I neeeeed those too!

Who has what on their wish list??

Bernie, Celluloid, Bakelite, Irregular Choice and Spring Rolls


In that basket is locally made Green Tomato Pickles, Roast Garlic Jelly, free range eggs from the little old Italian man's garden who also makes THE best cinnamon donuts ever (OK, there are 3 of those in there too),  homemade jumbo ricotta and spinach tortellini and 2 organic and locally made Chicken spring rolls which are the yummiest spring rolls in Australia.

I Love the first Sunday of every month in my town!



Gratuitous booby shot.  You are most welcome.

Bettie Page Fringe Into A Faux Fringe!


My fringe (bangs to you USA lovelies),  as above in it's natural state, is too short to do anything with.  But I recently was successful, for the first time, in rolling my very short fringe into a faux roll!  It was completely trial and error with a crap load of hairspray.....

So....how did I do?

AVON Calling! Mega Effects Mascara & Glimmersticks Eyeliner


 

Look at this tricky looking thing!  Is it a paintbrush?  A torture device? A blush? 



It's Mega Effects Mascara! 
It's quite individual looking, or at least this little Country Bumpkin hasn't seen anything like it anywhere near her.  At one swipe it's quite effective, giving coverage along the entire lash line at once.
It retails for $19.99 AUD from the Avon catalogue (but we all know that retails prices are for show only with Avon....everything is ALWAYS on sale!)

 

The Glimmersticks come in 5 colors and are very pigmented after one swipe.  They retail for $14.99 each.

AVON Calling! True Color Eyeshadow Swatches



 
 


Golden Riviera.  These 2 colors were richly pigmented in a quick swipe.

 
 
Grey Matters.  This is a duo I would use on a daily basis.



Retro Glamour.



Almond Biscotti.  Yum, worth buying for the name alone! 
This is a great Matte duo for everyday wear.
 


Healthy Glow.



Warm Cashmere.


 
Black Star.  Another must have duo in sparkling cream and Matte black.


 
Teal Attitude.  This Peach shimmer is actually really nice for day wear. 





Purple Haze.



Mocha Latte.  Can't afford Urban Decay's Naked Palette?  This one is pretty much all you need.



Romantic Mauves



Urban Skyline.
 
As previously mentioned, it's good to see online swatches on Avon's products as I know from experience that the catalogue doesn't show the true colors accurately.
