    That is a hot look. I love hot pink lips with dark eye makeup.

    Fiji doesn’t look light here and it does impart a really nice glow! *drool* Mekong looks really nice on you… now you make me want this eyeshadow again… argh…

    Thanks everyone!

    Mekong really is a pretty color and I *love* the pigmentation! You guys should definitely get it!

    Sarah,

    Mekong is from the Fall 2009 collection so chances are it is not out in the UK yet. I don’t think there is a close dupe from MAC.

    Mekong is a very beautiful colour!
    and I love your lower lashline.
    but I didn’t like the eyes with the pink lips, I prefer hot pink lips with neutral eyes but you stay georgous 😉

    Hi Phyllis, I was just wondering what look would you recommend for a day at school? Some girls slap on TOO much makeup but i don’t want to look plain.. Any tips? 🙂

    I love the false lashes, they look gorgeous.
    Do you think you could do an entry about lip primer?, I’ve never used it before and i don’t really know anything about it.
