Askmewhats Version: "Purple Hits Gold" Look

Hey girls (and boys!)

I am so happy (again) today, coz it's Friday my side of the world! I think a frequent readers of my blog would know how much I LOVE Fridays and how much I hate Mondays! I think I am Garfield in my past life! (ya think?)

I am on fire! I've got another look done and it's not the WILD smokey eyed look that everyone wants me to keep on doing, and it's not a NEUTRAL look that some of you wants me to "just forget about it" :P

Let me break it down to you gently... products used and where I used it. Did my diagram improved? I tried my best *drops down knees begging for you to say yes*



1. Bourjois Beige Rose - all over lids
2. Milani e/s Shock and I mixed it a bit with MAC Carbon (to deepen my eye)
3. ELF e/s in GOLD
4. Bourjois Beige Rose - again as highlighter

Other products used (not numbered)

1. NYX Concealer in a Jar Medium
2. Stila Smudgepots in Black
3. Paul & Joe Curly Mascara in Black
4. Paul & Joe eyebrow pencil no. 2










What are your plans this coming weekend? I am going to be a busy bee as my dad and my dad-in-law are both celebrating their birthdays this coming Saturday and Sunday! Don't ask me what my plans are!!! I think I'm going to cram on this one!

Purplish golds aren't the usual combination,
but what the heck right?
As we all say, or as I say...
"Laughter is not the best medicine...so as Smiling!"




Want to check out my old purple look?
Easy, smile and say "Purple Rain!"

  8. it's actually a great combo. ;) IMO, i think you can pair purple with most colors -- from green, to blue and even black. i love its versatility.

  9. Purple and gold isn't a combo that I'll attempt to try out anytime soon, being my unadventurous self, but you pulled it off really well! And your smile is infectious, sweetie. :)

    Have a great weekend!
