whoops forgot to finish my sentence... 'managed to avoide the tears when saying the goodbyes! Start my new job next Monday. woohoo!
Anyway, the look I did today was very Dita von Teese-esque. Plus the tan has faded so I am back to my usual powder white.
Thanks for the tutes/depotting comments ladies, I will try this out this arvo given I have an afternoon to spare!

Jenny! Just buy Henna lol 
Sounds pretty CatsMeow <3 I hope you enjoy your new job!
Today I just did some weird colour mixture on my eyes coz it's TOO hot.. I used Zonk Bleu!, Stars n Rockets, Nocturnelle and White Frost and blacktrack and that's it.. I even forgot mascara! I'm such a zombie today.
BTW, I bought goldmine e/s yesterday (wow its pretty!) and someone at the MAC stand told me that pots are "deeper" than pans and have more product.. which sounds like garbage to me but what do I know.. didn't really want to argue! lol.

It's so pretty and not that over the top (says the girl who wears orange lipstick!). I did a more subdued smokey eye and just a hint of the Pink Swoon, and Sweetness dusted all over.
I am really wanting to do this look again, but my poor face needs a break. I am doing the Retin A to smoothe out the chin and forehead a bit more. I made the mistake of washing my face within a couple hours of each and totally tore up my chin, so the next two days I believe I should let it heal.
Chemical burns suck! It isn't really that bad but when you want to wear the make up it really bites!

So not only my face is puffed up like a marshmallow man, I couldn't be bothered taking all my make up out of the fridge (lipsticks, foundations, concealers, paint pots, CCBs and moisturisers etc), so I used whatever on the table. No problem with those products, but I was sweating, so I couldn't be bothered applying properly either..So what I am trying to say is - I look like SHIT! |

Yeah that would've remarkably had the same effect!
I'm assuming that B2M accepts slightly deformed jars.. heheh.
Done all of my de-pots.. now onto pigment pressing!
Just realised I don't have Silver pigment, it's Silver Fog - can I press that or is it still a no-go?? And where did you get your isopropyl from? Woolies? I need to send Alex on an errand on his way home from work... mwhahahaha.
(Sorry, heat makes me loopy).
SO glad I'm not at the BDO today - you'd have to be crazy!

Yep, slightly deformed is fine
Silver Fog is fine to press
Isopropyl is in the healthcare aisle at Woolies - next to bandaids and stuff. Same green bottle as in that tute I linked to for pigment pressing

You're all making me consider pressing my pigments! Where do you get pans and how different is the effect between loose and pressed on your skin?

Thanks and thanks for the woolies directions. Going to go there now... (judge judy is on so I'm not missing much. lol. Hopefully the tennis starts soon...)
Geez the colours are so much easier to look at in the 15x pallet. I can finally see what I have!
Thanks again for the pallet -
PS - do you have silver fog??

Here is a link for the pans:
Coastal Scents: 15 Empty Pans 26mm - same size as MAC
I find that they are generally the same between loose and pressed. Just remember that you can press metals or mattes. And a few of them go a bit funny when you press them, the immediate one that comes to mind is sweet sienna.

No worries hun! And yep, I have silver fog
