Right under my nose the month of October, universally known as Breast Cancer Awareness (or the month of the Pink ribbon) is almost over and I am yet to publish a post about it. Shame on me.
I did this look over 2 weeks ago but between editing the pictures, uploading and then handling several online campaigns at work, I have been unable to type out the post. Had to quickly rush over and get that done before October ends.
For this look, I wanted the lips to be the focus. I didn't know they would end up so bright but when I was done and saw them, I fell in love with them and wouldn't have toned the colour down for the world. I love the fact that it is different unlike most October themed looks which have more subtle pinks in them.

It had been a while since I took out my Tara HIP eyeshadows (and I have quite a number of them), so for this look I used 4 of them. Of course I had to feature the Magnolia Infinity palette too.
everything I used for my eyes, cheeks and lips (I tried to layer the gloss on the lips but it didn't quite turn out right so I discarded it) |

My hair? I had co-washed the day before.....or was about to co-wash *confused*, one of the 2 though.
This look is very unlike me I must say but I guess it is time I did more vibrant looks.
*breast cancer is real ladies. always remember to check the girls out. if you are unsure, go see a gynaecologist.
