I’ve been using more and more lip liners this past I’ve been using more and more lip liners this past year and I recently found these interesting shades by @inglot_cosmetics in their Velvet Define Lip Pencil. It’s creamy and easy to work with. I love how it feels on the lips. It has a bit of a slip but it stays in place in a nice way. It is not designed to be a long lasting formula (to my knowledge) and that is what I prefer. For my lip shape I find it easier to create a soft line to the lips with a formula like this. It does not leave a harsh line in any way and fades away beautifully. The shades are exceptional for my colouring and I have already used several of the shades regularly. They were a nice complement to what I already own. First I bought five and the three more. 63 Rose Chocolate 65 Mellowed Magenta 68 Creamy Cappucino 69 Dusty Rosewood 70 Blushing Brown 73 Dusty Rose 74 Blush Muse 75 Cocoa Cream #inglot #lipliner #velvetdefinelippencil
A summary of The Colour Chronicles 26:9 This mont A summary of The Colour Chronicles 26:9 This month was a bit harder. I realised that I have to skip days when I have to go to the office. It’s too dark out to take any good pictures in the morning before leaving home. I’m still doing my makeup but there will be no pics or posts. I’ve also spent less time doing my makeup overall and relied more on quick looks. I did manage to wear all of the items selected for the monthly arsenal except four eyeshadows. #motd #dailymakeup
A summary of The Colour Chronicles 26:8 I started A summary of The Colour Chronicles 26:8 I started this makeup project in an effort to rotate through my makeup items in a more structured way - by choosing monthly arsenals of makeup items to wear each month. Additions can be made as I please. My goal is to do a more in depth blog post for each month as well, a makeup diary of sort, but I have yet to make time for that. This is summary of the month of August including the arsenal. #makeuplook #lisaeldridgemakeup #lethalcosmetics #madebymitchell #dailymakeup

Day 28 of The Colour Chronicles 26:7 Today I had Day 28 of The Colour Chronicles 26:7 Today I had a bit of an unexpected inspiration - a bruise on my arm.
