Slightly Pinup-y EotD w/ Aromaleigh

Thursday, September 17, 2009
What I used-
-Aromaleigh Bete Noire in Amarante- rich, verdant warm green with olive smokiness and vivid blue shimmer
-Aromaleigh Elemental Lustre in Alloy- pale olive with silvery sparkle highlight
-Sephora eye crayon in 507 Pink- pale pink
-Avon Color Trend liquid eye liner in Sparkling Black
-Too Faced Brightening Blush in Papa Don't Peach
-Fyrinnae lip lustre in Lickable- soft shimmery beige peach
.
After reading the description, I'm not sure I saw any blue shimmer in Amarante...but it reminded me of army girl 1950 pinups :) Definitely a very pretty color!

Such crappy pics today! Well, a few days ago anyways, today I was testing out Earth Angel Minerals.

Anyhoo, this is a fairly simple look. I used the Pink Sephora crayon as a base. It's REALLY pale pink, almost nude looking. I put Alloy all over lid and in inner vee. Next I wetlined Amarante on my bottom and top lashline and also used it dry in the crease. Last I made a cateye with Sparkling Black...it didn't turn out so great cause the Color Trend liner is like water, it's not thick enough to make an easy line, very streaky!

How was everyone's day? I have the WORST stomach pains so I'm basically cranky and angry. I've taken Aleve, used a heating pad and took a warm shower and I just can't get my tummy to feel any better. I stopped taking the pill a few months ago and the cramps have been awful ever since. Do you girls have any tips on easing the ouchies? I'm a sad panda!!

Amarante is one of my fav Bete Noires, very pretty!

I don't know how you feel about a natural health approach, but I've had good success with some holistic "meds". If you want me to double check and see what I used let me know. You can always email me at madeleinebouquet (@) gmail (.) com.:) Hope the pain eases up soon!

Sorry to hear about the stomach pains, hun. :( I swear by Tylenol Extra Strength and spicy food. (I have no idea why the latter is effective but it works for me :)

I agree about keeping moving. Just walking around a bit can help ease pain. Also, water, water, water! Drink lots of water to make sure your body is well-hydrated. If you're at all dehydrated, that can make it worse. Hope you feel better soon. :-(

Total sidenote- the word I have to type in the word verification section is "parrot". How perfectly suitable is that???

I have to agree with the others. Moving about seems to be the only thing that works for me. I read somewhere ages ago that there is some Yoga moves that are suppose to help and they worked ok for me. Can't remember what they were, I'm going to have to google it or it will bug me.
Hope your feeling chipper soon.
