When it comes to making myself pretty (read: semi-presentable), I do as every girl does and ask, “What would Audrey do?” — referring, of course, to Audrey Hepburn. Usually, I come to the same conclusion: I need another black dress, a swoopy updo and Chanel, Chanel, Chanel.
While most designer labels are overpriced, I do think the House of Miss Coco makes fantastic eyeshadow, so it’s with some reluctance that I’ve made the switch to the more natural Sante Kosmetics brand. Made with certified organic jojoba and chamomile extract, asbestos-free talc and packaged very minimally in tin, it’s hardly luxe and doesn’t have quite the same shimmer.
However, the shades in the “Terra” set work perfectly with my complexion and my eye colour, which I most often describe as “pee-poo” but is more technically something like “light brown to hazel”.
I’ll still use what’s leftover of my Chanel if I’m going to something fancy … like, you know, a company BBQ … but for day-to-day use, my lids are getting defined a little more naturally.
Oh, and P.S. that headline is meant to be a play on shadow boxing, in case you were wondering (but most likely you were all like, ‘whatever, another stupid headline’).
If I had to speculate on why this post got NO comments- I’d have to guess that everyone was pretty much left speechless by your “semi-presentable” aside.
If your “this is me” photo is even vaguely accurate, I think most of your readers think you’re pretty darn charming. Though it’s a little hard to tell with the dark glasses…
So, don’t be so mean to our friend Vanessa! We like her.
Haha, thanks Greenpa — actually, I think no one’s commented because it’s a weekend post. Things tend to slow down when people aren’t at the office looking for means to procrastinate
