Look: So Tropicana!

The fact that I'm titling posts after Grav3yard Girl catch-phrases probably says that I've been watching too much Youtube. As if I could actually stop.

Today's look is sort of one that I felt was a failure in real life, but looks okay in the pictures I took so now I'm not sure if it really sucked or not. Make of that what you will.
OMG It's another collage!

More pictures and product list after the jump!

I really wanted to do a very strong orange/teal contrast, but I ended up with more of a colourwash.

* I love Sleek Rose Gold blush, but it has far too much shimmer in it for me to feel okay wearing it on my cheeks. So, now I just have an unreasonably-sized shadow. HURRAH. This never would've happened if the chavvy teens hadn't nicked all of the testers at my local Superdrug.


Like I said before, I really think that I was possibly seeing issues with this one where none existed.  I think maybe the schism between what I had imagined versus what I actually ended up with made it hard for me to see that this look was pretty decent. And also one of the few that normal people might feel comfortable wearing.
