I Am the Plaything of Passion
This is the first part of my horoscope today:
It's all about the finishing touches today. Pay careful attention to grooming in the morning, and make sure you're stepping out the door dressed in the perfect look.
And now that my Sephora-employed Older Step Daughter has turned me on to all kinds of fabulous products -- and, in essence, made me as much of a make-up whore as I am a purse whore -- grooming is one of my favorite things to do.
For Christmas last year, Heather bought me a cute, little palette by Two Faced called The Plaything of Passion. It has two lip glosses, two eyeshadows and a blush. I've used all but the teal eyeshadow.
Until this morning.
I'm wearing a shirt with all different blues and greens, with a matching earring and necklace set in silver and turquoise. So I thought today would be the perfect day to audition my teal eyeshadow.
Okay, I'm turning 38 in a week and a half, but that's not too old to occasionally be hip and trendy, right?
Right?!
After applying the eyeshadow, I couldn't decide if I looky kicky or whorey. But since whorey has never been a look I've actively shyed away from, I decided that either was fine, and I went to work.
Two hours later, I went to the bathroom and decided that I look like Mimi from "The Drew Carey Show." So I wiped most of it off.
That's what I get for letting Yahoo! make grooming decisions for me.
Then I told this story to the gal in the cube next to me, to try out the material and see if it was blog-worthy. And she's like, "No, it looks really natural!"
Proving that she is the kindest human being on the planet. And very likely color blind.
Tonight, Spikette is dropping off my latest Avon order, which includes some on-sale $3 navy blue eyeshadow because I want to try the color without investing a lot of money into it.
Although, since the teal was such a disaster, am I right to be a wee bit wary about the navy blue?

So what was the second part of your horoscope?

You're asking the wrong person. I don't wear eyeshadow in anything but neutrals anymore.

Navy is more of a neutral than teal, so it'll probably look lovely. Not Mimi-like at all.
