Love & Sound - Face of the Day

After sharing the haulage and swatches of the new essence Love & Sound Collection in this post I thought it would be helpful to share a makeup look with you - especially since I've barely had the Glastonberry eyeshadow off my lids since I bought it! The collection is inspired by the festival season and I find that really cute but doesn't fit my interests in the slightest! I'm one of a rare breed who avoids concerts/festivals/gigs and would rather chill at home and watch a concert DVD or a music video channel - having said that, the best concerts I've been to are Nicki Minaj's stadium tour and an intimate gig Katy Perry did in Melbourne before she really became famous. Enough of the rambling, onto the makeup look!

These snaps were from the first wear of Glastonberry after I returned home from shopping with Mumma Bovary, and initially I had a few of the new Urban Decay Naked Smoky eyeshadows on and just used my finger to press Glastonberry all over the lid. This super simple application has become my favourite way to wear this shade - throw your usual neutral shadows over a primer (I'm currently using the Nars Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base) and then dab on some of this to spice it up! I'm not normally one to use single shadows, I'm much more of a palette kinda gal, but this is one I'm sure I'll put to good use!
I'm sporting my pretty standard makeup look for the rest of this post since it was all applied for a day with my Mumma - my L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation with the matching primer underneath, and a dusting of the essence ombre blush Sunset @ Centre Stage (which is a 'throw it on with anything' kind of colour for me) which I applied over my makeup just to try it out.
Are you a festival lover, or a homebody like me?
What is the best music event you've ever been to?
What box would you tick in a survey about 'interests' - music, movies, reading or playing sports?

    1. Such kind words Liz <3 My lashes have been lacking lately and I'm in need of a better mascara, so thank you for making me feel better about them!

  2. I'm loving the warmth and smokiness in one - and rocking those bangs! I can handle a loud jumping concert here and there but I've never been a festival person either...

    1. Thank you Vita! You are definitely braver than I when it comes to concerts, they just aren't my jam!

  3. I have only ever been to ONE music festival. While I did love the atmosphere, I did find the crowd to be a little be scary - I'm an introvert so that was huge for me. Definitely different from your regular music concerts. And hello fringe!! When did you cut your fringe? Looking lovely. :)

    1. I'm definitely more of an introvert when it comes to large crowds like that - though you can throw me in amongst it at IMATS and I will happily deal with it, ha! I've had a fringe for a while now!

    1. It really wowed me and I can't get enough of the shade, so much easier to wear than I thought it would be :)

  5. Love this color! How beautiful!
    I love music festivals and concerts, I am so passionate about the music I love and something about hearing music live really makes me feel alive! When i was younger I was all about getting close to the act but now, I hang back and enjoy from a distance haha!
    My favorite festival experience was when I went to a music festival in the south of france, in the country. It was next to a castle and the weather was so warm during the day but finished in pouring rain! It was so fun though because it wasn't cold and one of my favorite bands was the finishing act of the night :)

    1. I kinda wish I had that passion for music but I don't really - my husband does though he is constantly listening to something, but isn't a big concert fan either so we're well suited in that way.
