FOTD with my new Hourglass and RBR purchases

I bought a few new things from Zuneta recently and today was my first opportunity to have a play. I don't seem to have been experimenting very much with makeup recently. I think it's partly because I'm still restricting myself to using up the items I talked about in this post but also because I don't have as much time to myself. I decided that buying something colourful might help me out of this rut and Rouge Bunny Rouge Mysterious Tinamou eyeshadow is certainly outside my usual taupe comfort zone.

Today, I used Mysterious Tinamou as an accent colour alongside some favourite neutrals. I also gave my Hourglass Illume compact (Sunset) its first outing. Both items are pictured below alongside the other colour products that I used.

Scent of the Day 
Aftelier Perfume Patchouli Spice Body Oil & Hair Elixir - I applied this to my hair today and it smells beautiful, I get little wafts of scent as my hair moves. As you can probably see, I've decided to let my roots come through in a bid to see if I can embrace the grey. They do need taming though as hence the need for bit of hair oil.

Disclosure: I have labelled press samples with an asterisk, all the other items were purchased or won by me.

  1. Beautiful! I love the hint of colour with Mysterious Tinamou, such a gorgeous colour.

    I took advantage of the discount on the new RBR website and bought the Delicate Hummingbird e/s (finally) and the new Umber Firefinch and Bohemian Waxwing e/s.

  4. RBR Gracious Arasari is a pretty color. I love the idea that you're wearing it on the lash line. I like the pckaging of that hourglass product, looks so sleek :)

    1. Thanks PP. I had a play with MT over a dark base whilst messing about with some Halloween makeup and now really want to have a go using it for a dark smoky eye.

  6. waaaaaa I want Mysterious Tinamou so much more now! You look stunning, I'm loving these deeper blue accents on you.
    You are also making me rethink the Hourglass Illume Creme as I assumed it would be too dark but it looks lovely on you, I can see some of the money I am meant to be saving for other peoples christmas presents going towards a Zuneta order... ;) xx

    1. The bronzer in the Sunset palette takes a fair bit of working in to stop it looking too orange. I think you're right to hesitate as it could be too dark, it's probably worth having a play in SpaceNK first. In a perfect world, I would have had the blusher from Sunset and the bronzer from the lighter Illume palette (I seem to think that's the combination Gina Brooke used on me).

      I had a play with MT over a dark base over the weekend and love how it looked. I'm so pleased I went for something colourful for a change :) xx
