It's been the longest time since I've posted an EOTD, and I've really missed doing them! So while this one isn't terribly special or even all that great, I figured I'd post it anyway. Hopefully this will be the start of a slew of fun EOTD's!
I used:
- Pure Luxe loose shadow in Amethyst on the inner half of my eyes (swatch HERE)
- Pure Luxe loose shadow in Grape on the outer half of my eyes (swatch HERE)
- I then blended some MAC shadow in Swish (swatch HERE) along the outer 2/3 of my eyes to soften up the purple
It was a nice change of pace to go back to something more colorful~the conservative work looks have been getting a little monotonous. Maybe I'll sneak in a little pink tomorrow!

gorgeous! I love purples on brown eyes, so i'm starting to use more purple on myself.
I love the color purple on your eyes hehe!
purple looks so pretty :D
so pretty! you should post some work EOTDs... so i can get inspired, lol.
what mascara did you use?
It looks beautiful! I've been trying to get into purples, because it really compliments brown eyes! :) The Grape eyeshadow looks amazing! Very pretty look! I can't wait to see more!
wow! this looks really pretty!
Thanks Frosty! I'm a big fan of purples/pinks with my eyes. I'm wearing a little pink today for some color :)
Thanks Kasumi! It's one of my favorite colors, plus the Pure Luxe purples are beautiful.
Thank you Askmewhats!
Nicole I think I will! They're not particularly interesting, but working people need pretty makeup too! :)
I used the CoverGirl LashBlast Luxe in Black Platinum that Mel got me here--and I just reviewed it!
Nazia grape is an amazing shadow--ridiculously pigmented and bright and a great accent shade. You should check it out, the Pure Luxe samples are sooo generous and only $1!
thank you didi! <3
Very cute look :)
While you probably can't get away with a blazing turquoise look for your work, I bet pinks and golds would be just fine ;)
I'm extremely thankful that I can wear crazy stuff to work and no one blinks.
Thanks Phyrra!
I'm so jealous you can wear all that fun makeup to work! One of the biggest things I miss about being in school is that I can't wear whatever makeup I feel like wearing on any given day--I have to make sure that I look "professional," which in my field really doesn't give me too much leeway.
Aww, that's one reason I did software qa for so many years, and for the past 5 years, video game development. Seriously, no one blinks at anything I wear or what colors I dye my hair. It's nice in that fashion.
My parents always told me I'd have to grow up, get a job, get up early, have 'normal' hair and do 'normal' looks, so I'm quite happy to have proven them wrong.
I can totally understand about wanting to be seen as professional for your job though. I've started practicing some neutral/professional looks for those days when I have to dress up for meetings myself!
You should peek at Fyrinnae's Snow Leopard, if you haven't already. I think that would be a gorgeous color for you.
Phyrra sounds like you have the coolest/most fun job! And I love the colors you dye your hair. I used to go for pink streaks and stuff back when I was younger, but there's no way that would fly at my office. As it is I'm not entirely sure that my medium brownish hair is entirely accepted =X.
Thanks so much for the suggestion--I so value your mineral makeup suggestions as you're definitely the authority on that subject! I've loved all the mineral products I've tried thanks to your wonderful suggestions!
Aww thanks :)
I'm sure your hair is fine, btw!
Every office I worked in that was conservative was fine with all natural colors, and even the 'edgy' ones such as burgundy or some reds. They only really got cranky when it was unnatural colors.
Phyrra I do love to go for reds, but I worry about what the partners here will think as they're very very conservative! And I think I push their buttons enough with the way I dress lol.
I've been thinking about going back to my natural color anyway~my hair has been feeling pretty dry lately thanks to all that I put it through! I need to find a miraculous deep-conditioning treatment that will restore it to its former glory.
Go check out Jessicurl!
I have one of their deep conditioners and that stuff is amazing! I'm not at home atm, so I can't double check, but I believe what I use is the Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment.

It has Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter.
Phyrra sounds great I'll need to look into this! I had the softest, shiniest, straightest, most easily managed hair when I was younger, but all the chemicals that I've put in it over the years have completely fried it =X
gorgeous!
I've been trying always do a purple look but I always fail....
it looks so pretty on you!
awww thank you michelle! i don't know if this one was entirely successful, but it was decent :).
