New computer room selfie

Selfie and notes

Bank holiday selfie.

I am finding I have very little patience with things today; I've shouted at the cat and refused a phone call from my dad because I just find him so difficult to talk to sometimes.  This is a symptom of depression I know and I ought to fight it but it's easier to immerse myself in World of Warcraft and ignore the world.

After

Taken in bathroom as bedroom light beginning to wane. Well it's certainly darker and the colour is even. Not as vivid a violet as the liquid colour suggested.

Yeah I'm pretty disastrous at dying my own hair but I can't afford salons so sue me.

Before esalon

 

This is my hair before, I have dyed it previously and you can probably see my roots growing through. 

Face

So many people have told me that I just don't look myself lately, from my husband to my GP to my colleagues at work, they say I'm just not myself.  I can't tell.

Visitor update

This cat has been appearing in our back yard for the last week or so, we're not sure whether it is a stray, it looks pretty well fed.  It's not aggressive although Shadow and Kira don't particularly like it:

Shadow monitoring the situation

Kira, on suspecting the stranger is there, will dive onto the windowsill, scattering our boxed figures and modem and sit there swishing her tail at it. 

We'll see what happens.

Visitor

Who is this cat?

Sudden

I have a sudden urge to go thrifting, but it is half past ten in the evening and such things are just not feasible at that time.

Living

Do you want to see a bit of my living room?  Because I can totally show you a piece of my living room...

Things What I 'Ave Bought!

I'm not a beauty guru, I have no interest in becoming one, I just like to show people what I've bought and it was something to do while I'm off sick.

So, I had an email coupon for Make Up Geek and I decided to buy 4 NYX lippies, specifically from the Wicked collection (actually I have 5 because it seems I added one to my basket twice by mistake like an idiot!).

I bought Trickery, Wrath, Cold Shoulder and Betrayal because they were the colours most appealing to me and ones I thought I would actually wear (I would have bought Risque, the greeny one, but where would I wear it???)

I mean Wrath I could get away with wearing for work and Trickery is ideal for Steampunk at The Asylum this year.

To show you what they actually look like, on a proper real person, with normal household lighting and a less than mega-expensive camera, here are some pictures (apologies for my stupid face; some days I really hate my face, seriously there are some days I think I look like Eric Stoltz in Mask):

Betrayal

Cold Shoulder

Trickery (love this)

Wrath

There is no other make-up on my face and I haven't used any lip primers or lip liner and I applied them straight out the tube (no fancy brushes).  Beware - Betrayal leaves a slight bright pink stain on you but otherwise they come off really easy with a make-up wipe.  Cold Shoulder is pretty sheer and you have to build up the colour.

Verdict - money well spent!
