The Recurring Blurgh

Shooting in bright sunlight is obviously the best idea and won't make anyone's face look weird at all. Go forth, ye with cameras.

Despite my purple-themed outfit, I have the blues today. Not indigo or anything intense like that, but maybe a desaturated shade of cornflower. Can you tell based on what I'm wearing? I feel schlumpy in a bad way, even though I tend to enjoy shapeless garments. I suspect that in a more structured outfit I would feel uncomfortably restricted instead. Bad mood = lose-lose style scenario.

My sister gave me a Lancome palette kinda like this one, but with more colors + blush. It's been fun to play with so far. I swear the blending looked better in person! (At least I hope so...) Also, Benefit lip gloss in "patootie", because that's totally another word for "beige".

  1. Ugh, I totally have those "blah" days where I'm just stuck in a mood and nothing really cheers me up or affects me. I feel like a giant blob when that happens! I love your eyeshadow btw, what's the name of the color?

    1. Yup, I hate that mood! I actually don't know what the eyeshadow is. I examined the palette for clues and then went to Google, but it appears to have been discontinued or is just no longer a current product, and goodness knows where the original packaging is.

  2. I think your eyeshadow looks lovely - I thought it before I even read the paragraph below the photo!

    I may be biased about purple, but nicely done eyeshadow is nicely done eyeshadow :-)

    Lancome is one of my favourite brands for eyeshadow, actually - I'd be curious to see a photo of the palette - to see if I could identify it!

    1. Thank you! I think your feelings about purple are rubbing off on me. I'm starting to notice how often I reach for it. & I'll try to remember to take a snap of the palette!

    1. Yes!!! I also use one of their basic mascaras and my all-time favorite perfume (sadly discontinued now) was by Benefit.

  6. Grrrr. I may not know much about your blurgh, but you are fierceness embodied. You look like a bold and empowered woman in these photographs. That is a look! Purple is you.

  7. Despite having sun in your face, and feeling super blurgh, you look amazing. I agree with Karen, rocking the "I don't give a shit because I'm bad ass thing" to a T.
