not wearing it mind you, as i have no clue how to wear anything other than lip gloss. i just started wearing eyeliner a year and a half ago. it's changed my life and yes, now i can't go anywhere without having it on. my entire face feels naked. but that's just me being weird.
i have three main sources to blame for this latest fascination:
- The Fairest, found via DailyCandy
- the current Estee Lauder bonus at Macy's
- a Macy's giftcard burning a hole in my pocket (before you label me impulsive, know i've had said giftcard for almost 2 years and it's about to expire)
i mean, look at that. who wouldn't want that? tiny purple case, perfect row of lip gloss tubes, and the colors! i will always be a sucker for a row of well-arranged colored objects. doesn't matter what the objects are. if they're pretty colors put together nicely, i'll want them all. (i can't believe i'm sharing this character weakness with you.)
now this is where Chantecaille starts to border on art. i don't care if sapphire blue and powdery silver glitter are the worst substances for my coloring and non-existent asian eyelids. i would buy this just to own it, just because it's pretty. yes, i have a disease, and no, i'm not getting help.
um, what? now THIS is eyeshadow art, don't deny it. it's beautiful. its name is in French. it is a MINI TABLEAU of 2 whales floating through a dusky, shimmery turquoise-grey ocean. and it could be mine for a mere $98. someone find me a sugar daddy.
see, i'm so generous that all i want to do is share these things (ahem, temptations) with everyone i know and love so you can partake and enjoy them for yourselves (cough, lessen my guilt). aren't i a darling?
(pardon me today, i'm in a straaaaange mood.)
anyway, this morning's first dip into the vast and gorgeous sea of my Google Reader had me surfacing with these fashion photographs overlaid with watercolor & illustration. i love the action in the second shot, and how informal, spontaneous, and inspired these come off while still being totally beautiful.
alors c'est tout, mes amis. now i have to go headlong into this locomotive of a day and try to hide the fact that i'm an eyeshadow compact obsessed, link happy, blog addicted, sugar daddy seeking freak disguised as an administrative coordinator.
so i'm curious . . . who are you really?
and who does everyone think you are?
wink,
she.

i want the whales. just so i could frame them and hang them on my wall and never use it. ever.
oh man, those whales! but I think i'd use it, eventhough it's so pretty. And i've started loving makeup as well - i too am no good at putting it on, although i'm getting better. i stay far far away from foundation however...can't get over the feeling that it would make my face feel cakey no matter how 'light' or 'airy' the formulation is. eyeshadow, however - now, THAT'S a subject area to lust over. (can one lust over a subject area? i don't know.)
hope you're having a grand day!
1. You know who I am.
2. I don't think they do.
3. Dying for some of that baleen.
4. Love you.
i'm so glad you ladies understand and appreciate the beauty of totally unnecessary objects. i'd argue that beautiful objects ARE totally necessary! i know now who i can talk to right after making a frivolous purchase :)
..don't stop there. take me frivolously purchasing WITH you.
Remember that pink purse?
