hey guys! Despite stressful things happening around me these dayes, I've actually been doing my makeup every single day so I have FOTD's to post :D

I like the idea of shimmery almost liquid eyeshadows paired with flat matte lips, especially in the summer. Even better if the lips are very bold and the eyes are pretty neutral. So this is what I did for my look yesterday. I used one of Shiseido's Hydra Eyeshadows win a pink shade with green duochromes. I haven't seen these around lately though...does anyone know if they've been discontinued? I hope not! I really wanted to grab a few more. They're the ideal product for achieving an almost wet eye look. I used Nars Heat Wave, one of my all time fave summer lipstick, to punch up the lips.

Anyhuw, here's the look, hope you like it :)

Outfit of the day was this bright blue maxi dress purchased at Winners earlier this spring. I added a light weight white cardi from Smart Set (old) and a yellow linen scarf also from Winners to cover the cleavage and the exposed back for work. This was a super comfy outfit, and got me compliments from the girls in the office :)
