Birthstone: Opal

Blergh! I've caught another cold and feel rather crappy at the moment. Those of you who have read my latest couple of blog posts know that I've already been ill once this fall, so I guess this is round two for me. I'm going to load up with a lot of vitamins, which hopefully will speed up my recovery.

Anyways, last week I started my new job which is awesome. I haven't done any selling yet because we were just packing everything up and organizing the products into drawers and shelves. My co-workers are great and though I've only worked two days so far I already feel at home. :)

The look I've got for you today is the October birthstone look, which is inspired by the opal. Of all the birthstone looks this has been by far the most difficult to turn into a makeup look, because the opal contains all the colors of the rainbow, shimmer but is still just mostly a pinkish white stone. Makes sense? Well, anyway, I've always thought of opals as pastel rainbows so I decided to take my look down that track. And here's the result!

Pastel rainbow deluxe! It was unfortunately a very cloudy day and my camera didn't pick up the shimmer that well, but I'm sure you get the idea.

Despite all the colors this is a rather wearable look. Soft and colorful in the same time.

Birthstone: Peridot

Damn it! August is the first month this year where I haven't posted the birthstone look on time.

Different shades of green and gold makes a perfect fall look for those who don't want to wear orange, burgundy or other classical fall colors. :)

Liquid Gold was a perfect pigment to use for this look since it is kind of a green gold. :) And speaking of Makeup Geek pigments I got the 5 new shades in my mailbox yesterday. So this day has been spent swatching them and taking photos of them to show you. ^_^

Thanks for reading! :)
