Even if somebody at NARS had foliage in mind when they named this golden eco-friendly eyeshadow, I can’t assist however photo something else.

Mangrove bloomed as an eyeshadow single with the NARS autumn 2010 collection. Francois (first name basis, yo!) likes unforeseen colors as well as textures, as well as Mangrove fits the bill.

My very first impression? — pureed vegetable infant mush. As an eyeshadow, it doesn’t jump out of its pan as something typically pretty, however like the plant from whence it draws its name, it just needs a bit time to grow.

I’m glad I provided it a long time today since now I the structure (buttery soft) as well as the color itself, which to me appears like a whisper sheer yellowish eco-friendly with subtle golden iridescence.

Diehard pigment peeps may not like exactly how sheer Mangrove is (it is practically transparent, after all), however I like it. You can see something there, however it doesn’t shout “LOOK AT ME NOW!”

To keep Mangrove business on my skin today I added a few much more niblets from NARS autumn 2010 to the look, namely the shimmery beige shadow from the Tzarine eyeshadow duo (beneath the brow bone), Coconut Grove eyeshadow (upper lash as well as waterlines) as well as the Palladium Soft Touch shadow Pencil (lower lashline).

My cheeks as well as lips came courtesy of two old institution NARS faves — Supervixen lipgloss as well as Amour blush.

I’m quite pleased with exactly how the look turned out, however I believe it’s missing something…like a sunny beach as well as a fruity beverage by my side.

What do you believe about Mangrove? would you provide it a try?

Ooh, baby, I like it raw!

Last month I started taking a photography class at the regional neighborhood center (something I discovered online), as well as I’ve truly delighted in myself so far. many of the trainees are sassy senior citizens (I’m the infant of the group). In today’s class we discovered about something called shooting in RAW. It’s a type of uncompressed picture data format. Anywho, each time the trainer states the word, “raw,” I believe of that Ol’ filthy Bastard song, “Shimmy Shimmy Ya.” You know, the one where he warbles, “Ooh, baby, I like it raw. Ooh, baby, I like it RAAAAWW!”

Nei?

Sometimes I truly desire I resided in a musical…with senior citizens dancing in unison to ODB.
