Roses are More than Red | A Tale in 20 Short Stories

Today's color combinations are inspired by ColourPop's Smoke 'n' Roses mega eyeshadow palette , which felt like a waste of a theme! There was so much that could have been done there.

Do you have a fragrance you reach for on special occasions?

Do you have a fragrance you reach for on special occasions?

Nope! There aren’t any I save for a special occasion; I try to rotate through several scents every month, and then I’ll put a few away and add-in a few more for the next month.

What do you like about sparkly products? What don't you like?

Sparkly Products

I’ve found that slightly flatter sparkle particles tend to adhere better to skin, whether in eyeshadow or cheek form, and I love the effect of sparkle in general, so when it’s flatter and with a more emollient/thicker base product, it can be beautiful. I’m not a fan of too much fallout during wear, though, as it can be irritating! I’m not as fussed about light migration from a cheek product, though.
