Showing my illness who's boss FOTD

Hi all,

I decided not to let my illness rule me anymore so I thought I'd try and get back into the habit of doing FOTDs. My gorgeous filigree bat earrings are by MoonMaiden on eBay (aka GlitterIsMyCrack beauty blogger). On the subject of my illness, my doc finally set the ball rolling with my referral to a specialist! At last! In the meantime, I'm going to try a homeopathic remedy as conventional medicines aren't doing the job I need them to do.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product

Luna spam

Hi all,

Thought I'd share a few pics of my little Luna. Just to clarify, she isn't named after a Harry Potter character or Dani Filth's daughter, but after one of my favourite songs by Moonspell which you can see here:

And now onto the pics:

Unintentionally Soft FOTD

Hi all,

I had meant this to be a smokier look but the lid shade came out lighter than expected and I had no time to re-do it. Still a nice look but better with a vampy lip in my opinion. Please forgive the lighting. The weather is all over the place today and I couldn't find a decent spot to take pics.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product and
-Michael Todd blush in Olivia.
Eyes:
-TFSI
