Old FOTD: Bronzed Plum!

Hi Guys!

I know I've mentioned here before that I am getting behind on my posts, but I'll say it again... I'm getting behind on my posts! I am finding a lot of Face of the Day posts from long enough ago that I don't really remember accurately where I placed everything I used in it. And I'll be honest: the real reason I take pictures of everything I used is so that it will jog my memory! Otherwise I'd be sitting here telling you "I used some purple (maybe this one or this one or that one or any and all combinations thereof....)", and that would never do. At any rate, I'll be posting a couple of looks with less-than-stellar descriptions in the coming week or two as I try to work through some of my older folders. Does this happen to you guys? I feel like if I wait more than three or four days between when I did a look and posting it, I can't for the life of me remember where I put what, unless it's really simple or really obvious.

Oh yeah; this was also the day or two before I started pinning my bangs back, so they are loooong and OUT OF CONTROL. Don't say I didn't warn you...

What's all that there? Hanging over my forehead? 

 I don't really know what inspired this look... All I can tell you is that I remember wanting to do something a little bit darker on the eye than usual, but still keep it "daytime/casual," and it ended up getting much softer than I had in mind after I blended it out, although I did quite like the result. Do you guys ever feel really over-dressed in makeup? Lately, if I even leave the house, it's just to run to the grocery store and I feel ridiculous if I do very dramatic makeup. I guess I shouldn't care too much. I need more of a nightlife so I'll have an excuse to do more dramatic looks. Sometimes I feel like I've forgotten how! This time last year I was all about the smoky eyes. Maybe I'm just feeling a bit uninspired when it comes to experimenting with makeup; I guess we all go through phases of wanting to focus on different looks, and lately my phase has been softer daytime looks, but I think I'm beginning to break out of that! I have been gravitating towards different colors; maybe the next evolution will be Drama. Oh well, sorry for the rant... On to more pictures!

Slowly but surely, I am getting through all of my old photographs. This one is only about 3 weeks old... Hopefully I don't get more behind than this!
