MD and I are going to see Up! tonight. I'm calling it a "date night" for the fun of it. We won't be seeing each other this weekend.

So I put on some of the makeup I bought with

ladyaelfwynn the other day and also stuff I've not really used much before. And unlike the raccoon eyes of last time, I have some good news to report.

* Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion RULES. This stuff made putting other makeup on easier, and I feel fairly certain played a part in my not getting raccoon eyes from mascara today.

* Almay clear complexion concealer - works well under Mac Select Sheer pressed powder for spot application over uneven marks and under the eyes. I don't like using liquid or cream foundation generally, so this is a good product for what powder won't fix. I didn't use a lot of it today. You can probably tell.

* Sephora long-lasting eye liner is quite lovely. It's easy to apply and stays on strong and the colors are strong and attractive (I used the green today).

* MAC Glitter eye liner - I overlaid this on top of the Sephora, as well as under my lower lids and it does provide a nice sparkly finish

* The Body Shop "Divide & Multiply" Mascara - I picked this up a month ago but never really got to use it until today. It's a bit sticky at first, but after awhile it calms down into a pleasant subtle enhancement of the eyelashes. I probably would've liked something bolder with the other eye makeup, but will use this for when I want a subtler, natural look in future.

I don't normally wear much makeup in the office, and without shadow this really doesn't seem like a lot of makeup to me. Still, it caused quite a bit of (positive) commentary in the office. Anyway, maybe my little review will be of use to someone?

Here's the best I could do with the notoriously pitiful camera on my mobile.
