I haven’t been wearing a lot of color on my eyes lately, but on my arm? That’s another story, ha!
These pretty eye makeup brights are by Urban Decay. Do you recognize any of them?
The hello in dark purple, the green hearts and the black outlining the hearts are Glide-On Eye Pencils — Psychedelic Sister, Freak and Zero. The blue is Chaos, a shadow stick. And the lighter purple lines are a powder shadow called Free Bird.
I’m thinking of doing an ombre-style winged liner soon, with the green in the inner corner, the blue in the middle and the purple on the outer half and wing. Maybe tightline with the black? Or maybe not. Decisions, decisions…
Whatcha got going on today? It’s blazing hot here in the North Bay Area, so you’ll find me indoors enjoying the fans and air conditioning.

Hey, docs
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, and don’t forget to reapply that sunscreen!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I just found your blog yesterday and what a joy it is to read. I’m a grandmother and after years of minimal makeup (I was an airline Captain) I’m loving being able to try new colors and having some bold fun (don’t tell my husband how much I spent at Chanel and a couple other of your listed brands yesterday). Thanks for the breath of fresh air in the beauty blog world (and if you are in Hawaii and run into a six-foot one pale strawberry blond who is fluent in the language, that is my daughter who was adopted by a Native Hawaiian family (long story).

Thank you, Brigid!
That’s so cool that you were an airline captain. Did you fly commercial flights? Or are you former military?
Hey girl,
70 and breezy in Maine today.
Had to return some powder shampoo to the mothership earlier today.
It smelled like pickles and left a weird residue on my paws.
