is it August already?

when I set myself the target of blogging on a weekly basis, I obviously meant monthly. I blame the summer holidays & two little boys who will not go to bed before 9pm. Anyway, I'm taking a couple of child free days next week to give my website a bit of TLC, & upload some more products which I have been promising for ages. Hopefully, by this time next week - let's say early September - I'll have a wider range of brushes, matte blusher, & the spice foundation shades available on the website (rather than just sitting in my spare room).
So... this blog is meant to be musing on mineral makeup & motherhood, & I haven't written much about mineral makeup. I do have great plans in my head of photos of swatches (I have learnt the lingo) & looks, but I'm not great at putting them into action.
But let's make a start, with my tried & trusted daily workwear, eyshadow combo. I can even do it without a mirror, which is just as well, as I am usually trying to wrestle my brushes, powders & mirror from #2 son. There's nothing like a well chewed blusher brush for even application.

Anyway, my combo is

• ballyholme bay as base shade across the eyelid
• chocolate toffee as mid shade on outer 2/3 of eyelid
• ruby murray as dark shade on outer eyelid
• bog meadows as eyeliner

Watch this space, I'll post a pic of swatches & made up face (if I'm having a good face day. But please don't hold your breath).

& hooray! I have a follower! thank you Alyson!
