FOTD Challenge : Candy
I had so much fun doing SaraMay’s FOTD Challenge yesterday that I decided to do today’s challenge too – Candy. When I think of candy, I think of lots of (artificial) colours. I just went crazy with the colour and here is what I came up with…
My right eye is based on Skittles and M&Ms. My left eye is based on those strawberries and cream twirly lollipops. My lips are like mixed berry candy. Pretty colourful huh?
Tempted to keep the make-up on till my Husband comes home. He gets freaked out when I put on too much make-up. He tends to prefer me au naturale.
To intensify the shades of the eyeshadows, I find that Lime Crime Candy Eyed Eyeshadow Helper (see what I did there – candy – get it? Ok, I’m not funny!) does a fantastic job.
I couldn’t find any lollies in the house to pose with but I found my colourful handbag chain and put it on top of my head.

OMG Moment Of The Day!
As I was typing up this blog post, my postman knocked on the door and I went out looking like this :
Okay, how awkward?!!! I’m wearing my cutesy PJs and I look like a clown LOLOL. I saw him stifle laughter and I couldn’t have gone any redder with the amount of make-up I had on. Groan! How embarrassing!!
EDIT : Sheeeeeesh!!! ANOTHER Postman rocked up at my door!!!!!!!!!
