About time, I put more makeup looks in this blog, don't you think? This is, after all, what this blog is essentially about.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who gifted another little girl, obsessed with the colour orange, a fabulous bright orange lipstick and a lip pencil to go with it. And obsessed with orange I am. I feel there is nothing like orange eyeshadow to bring my brown eyes to life and make them pretty. I buy oranges (the fruit) by the bucket, my favourite mobile phone network is orange and I can't see myself moving anytime soon. Favourite perfume of the moment is Hugo Boss orange and I could go on and on and on. I was born to wear, eat, smell and live orange.
Today, I would like to show you the most amazing shade of lipstick: It's called 'my beautiful rocket' from Lime Crime. I wanted to do a simple eye makeup look to incorporate the lipstick and I went for lime green eyes, inspired by Hot and Cold video from Katy Perry.
Essentially, for the main lid colour, I use 'acid lime' from accessorize and in the crease the darker green from L'oreal Hip Colour duo eyeshadow called 'riotous'. To line my lips, 'thrash' the perfect lip pencil from Illamasqua which is nothing trashy: just pure undiluted orange.
You don't want to know what i have on my skin, since as usual it's my magic camera and its very forgiving flash who does all the work. Highlight colour (Mac vanilla) brows (gosh brown trio) white pencil on the waterline (Revlon matte white) have been used as per usual.Zzzz
Did I wear this look out? Yes. I wore it to the park to take the picture of the products I used for this look. I stayed there about 1 hour, catching some sun while photographing other things for the blog. This guy stopped me (he looked homeless and sounded drunk to me) and told me I looked beautiful. I should have given him money for the compliment.

I love lime and orange together, they really compliment your skin tone, gorgeous as usual lovely.
That lippy is awesome looking too, I have that Illamasqua pencil, not used it as a lip liner but it would probably go with my mac morange.

I would never be brave enough to wear lipstick this bright but it looks fab on you! I'm looking for a coral lipgloss at the moment, do you have any recommendations? I'm trying to be braver!
