Golden pearls.

Since I always (at least almost always) wear completely black clothes I need to get the idea for my make up from accessories or some photo I've seen. Today the inspiration came from the pearl and golden chain necklace I had so I thought of making a golden make up with hint of white/light gold.

This is the look.

 

And here's me with the inspiration necklace.

 

Make up used:
Isadora mono eyeshadow - white
96 palette - gold and golden brown
Gosh Velvet Touch Eyeliner - Rising Sun
Joe Blasco Ultrabase Creme Foundation - Special Lite Olive 1
Gosh Pressed Powder
16 blush palette - coral

I don't think I've shown you yet how I keep my make up. I actually used to keep them in a drawer in my room but I had to run to toilet everytime anyway to put them on so I thought it would only be wise to move them to my tiny toilet (we have two and this one's only on my - and my daughter's - use). So I got a trolley from my sister when she didn't need one anymore and it just fit into my toilet without being on the way.


On top shelf there are my eye make up and blushes (the two black boxes are 96 eyeshadow palette and 16 blush palette), on one under it there are my nail and lip stuff. Then on the first drawer there are my foundations, powders, facial lotions and other skin improving cosmetics. On the lowest one I keep extra shampoos, shower gels etc.

Closer look of my eye make up and blushes (really unorganised, I know).

 

And then to totally other stuff. I bought Whittard of Chelsea's Chocolate Sins gift set almost few years ago from Cambridge and only this week me and my sister tried few of them.
Lust is too minty for my taste even tho I love mint-chocolate but that was too strikingly minty.
Greed has only a slight caramel taste to it but it is nice when you don't want plain chocolate.
Gluttony is great if you love white chocolate! And I used some dark chocolate sprinkles on top of it which gave a nice taste. And here's a picture of it (with a mug I got from a friend of mine years and years ago):
