African Violet FOTD

So it appears that I haven't done a purple FOTD yet on this here blog. SHOCKING!! Must be remedied immediately!!
Other than being my favourite colour, purple is also universally flattering and I've been told by various beauty industry insiders that it will be THE colour this Autumn.
I used the Stila In The Moment palette that I reviewed back in this post.

Products used:
Eyes:
  • Lise Watier Crayon Jumbo in Peche Melba as all over base;
  • Stila Instinct (top row first from left) all over lid;
  • Glance (top row middle) from middle of lid to outer corner;
  • Improvise (top row second from right) outer corner and crease;
  • Blend;
  • Improvise on outer half of lower lash line;
  • Tetra (Smudge Stick Waterproof Liner) on upper lash line;
Face:
  • Lise Watier Havana Baked Bronzer as contour;
  • The Body Shop Roseflower blush on apples of cheeks;

Lips:
  • Benefit Jing-a-ling lipstick;
  • Essence Candy Bar lipgloss
In other news, I have decided to run and join the circus:


and bake cookies:

  3. Looks like purple is a unaniminously favourite colour for all judgies! Looks super pretty on you! Love the paring with the lips and cheek colours too :)

    You could join a circus as long as you make sure first they don't have any clowns :P

    P.S. your cookies look freaking awesome. They look much better than D's demonic hello kitties and my necrotic looking hello kitty madeira cakes (with choc chips)...

    1. -_____- I really wanna watch the new Cirque du Soleil show but Mr. Nunu said that they have clowns during intermissions and sometimes clown ushers. Why am I so useless??!! *wails*
      I've found that the trick to getting the cookies to look good is to freeze them for a few minutes after you've cut them out before baking.

  6. That purple shade looks gorgeous on you! And your cookies are the most adorable things I have ever seen! I am truly curious over your "circus" photos though -- surely you didn't really join the circus??

    1. Hahah unfortunately I am too old to qualify for anything other than elephant dung shoveller if I do join the circus xD It's just an aerial hoops class that is offered at the dance studio I go to.

  7. Love the new Stila palettes...I got the green one, In The Garden....If not for the fact that I have so many palettes at the moment, I would like all three haha...Lovely purple eyeshadow...I like purple occasionally when I'm wearing blue or purple or do jazz up an all-black outfit...

    You look really fit in those photos - looks like a fun way to work out...what "exercise" is it called?

    1. Oh dear, I made the bad decision in googling the In The Garden palette and now I want that one too -______-
      It's called Lyra, but also sometimes called Aerial Hoops!
