The Last Thing You Bought

lol I'm not going to play that too loud or my boyfriend will start doing the same! I just about know that song from somewhere!

It's such a silly tune!  And just to be clear, he's totally benign when he does it... only poking jest at me, you know, for fun.    It usually makes me laugh, but not before I've given him a good razzberry!!!

i've always had really hooded eyes, i've found the higher i wear my eyeshadow, thebigger my eyes look. i've only been doing it for a year & i feel it's a million percent improvement! i used to only do the lid, bu you could only see if if i blinked =s

dunno if that's any help, but i feel your pain =)

also i *love* your shoes Amy & make up Janine *1*

I've tried it Pippa, but it looks wrong on me. Because my eyebrows are quite low as well, it just makes me look like a panto dame!

you look about the same lid as i do. it took me ages to get used to it though. you could shave your eyebrows off

I have similar eyes to you too Janine, and one is slightly more hooded than the other, so i have to draw the liner on one eye thicker than the other, and when i open my eyes, it always manages to get on the top. I was browsing for a solution and came across these eyelid tapes. They sort of fake a crease and give you an instant eyelift. and if you continue to use them you can train your eyelids (sounds stupid i know.) But i think i'm going to buy some and see if they make a difference

^ there's some weird looking eye jabbing lol, but she explains it better than me.

I'm afraid that's waaaay too much faffing for me lol I'm really not all that bothered anyway. My eyelids are uneven, but I'm sure no one notices. I'm sure no one noticed hers either.

Pippa, I'm pretty sure you have higher arches on your brows. In all honesty, it's another thing that doesn't really matter! I mostly only wear liner as it just defines my eyes a bit

wowza! that video is insane! part of me wants to try it, but i've grown to like my eye flaps now. plus no heavy eye make up for 3 months, is a nono!

That video is mental!! I always wondered what those eyelid tapes were for!

Today I've treated myself to a pair of these lace tights:

And this pair of Docs that I've been wanting for several months:

Argh Intemp! You have my boots (that would be mine if I allowed myself to buy them).
They are so beautiful.

Got new ice scoop for work (actually a pack of cup measures in scoop form) because we have a different ice bucket and the usual scoop is too big and gets sort of wedged if you try to put enough ice on it.

Intemp, I LOVE those boots!!!  And the tights!!!  Maybe I could wear skirts again if I found tights to fit me.  I stopped wearing skirts because my legs are so scarred and red from eczema. 

This just arrived in the post today... I love it, Mindi!  

Intemp, I'll be quizzing you on those boots soon. I want them and have for ages too, but I want to know how bad they are to break in and how much calf leeway there is. I have giant calves!

I have a few pairs of docs that length, they arent too bad to break in, the usual doc marten pain i find! and as theyre lace ups, you can make them as loose around the calves as you want! One of my pairs I only lace up half way and have the top open. =]

I'd like to know, too!  I've been eyeing 14 eyelet DM's, but I can only get them online (there are no retailers in the US who sell them that I can find).  I am a solid UK 7/US 9, so I'm sure the sizes are fine... but I'm not sure about the fit in the calves!

EDIT Thanks for that, Amy!
