Obsession du Jour: My new smoky e/s 8.13.09

Okay so I love smokey eyes, I have tons of blacks, grays and silvers. This baby has replaced ALL of them. It is Smoke and Diamonds by MAC and yes it another annoying limited edition color. I am going to go and stock up, I will be getting at least 3 more. I love it. Its the star flash texture and it is buttery smooth and soft.

ME in the morning all ready to go, showing off a nice contoured cheek. (Thank you Illamasqua Rude Blush and Powdered Metal...more on that later.)

Bottom left hand corner

Swatch: a dark gunmetal with a gold sheen to it. If that makes sense.

On the Eye
This picture was taken at the end of the day, it lasted ALL day with minimal creasing.
So easy. Just Smoke and Diamond on the lid all over, with a touch of carbon in the crease.


PS- Aren't these pictures fantastic for a phone camera? My new blackberry has a great camera on it! Yay Pictures on the go!
