Sue and I had the BEST girly day out today! We were originally booked in with a make-up artist who was coming up from BrisVegas – for whatever reason, that didn’t happen. But we kept the booking with the cosmetics counter and ended up getting much better value for money!
First thing: I’m not a warm undertone at all – I’m COOL? (Yeah, you always knew I was cool, eh?!) In fact, I’m not an Autumn at all – I’m a WINTER!! Look, here I am in pretty pinks – looking HEALTHY!
Pink lips, pink blush, turquoise(!) eyeliner
And look how far I’ve come: this photo was one I posted in May this year: (Admittedly, a less flattering shot, with too much flash, but still…)

I’m bloody AMAZED! So you’ll be seeing me in more of these colours:
Winter colours
(Someone who happens to be one of my very dearest friends and who IS an Autumn is going to get some fabric, LOL! but not that Japanese piece, I’m planning on cutting into that TONIGHT!)
Sue and I both DESPERATELY want to go see Kerryn and get our colours and image style done - I think that it would best the absolute BEST treat once I reach my goal weight, don’t you?
After the whole skincare and makeup stuff was finished, we went for a coffee and then a little shopping – until all of a sudden we realised it was quarter to FIVE! (our appointment was for 12:30!) We both tried on a new perfume (which I am totally in love with, the mandarin and pepper notes are just gorgeous) and went to the discount cosmetics shop for quick drying nail polish (bare toes, need polish!).
And we did a lot of sneak shopping – I wish I’d though to whip out my camera phone for some details: tops with masses of pintucks; a shirt with a lovely wide collar shaped by an inverted pleat; covered buttons and beads embellishing another pricey jacket; colour combinations to reproduce. All things that we could add to our sewing…
I had the nicest day! And now I’m feeling much more confident about going for new colours – I just want to get sewing! And now I know what colour make-up to buy,I’m saving up and veeeeerrrry gradually getting myself new things. WOOOOOOOO! Look out world, Caity is BACK!
