Kahani and Syen have a fantatic blog and I love the idea of "two friends united" . I visit their blog everyday and brought a few of the products mentioned and couldn't be happier (although my bank balance isn't

)
Thanks to them my boot points card is up an all time high
Right my combo for today:
Hint all over eye (from lower lash line to lid), lavender from outer corner to mid pupil (blending into the hint), then thistle in the crease from the outer to mid pupil and then thistle as a liner. This combo will make blue eye really pop.

Hi all
Here is a combo that is popular in engand at the mo:
Pixie from crease to brow bone
Teal apple on whole of lower lid (from crease to lash line)
then ocean applied wet like a liner but make the line thicker then normal (its up to you how thick, but I do mine almost half the lower lid)
apply the ocean dry along the lower lash line
then apply SN mascara
goes great with babydoll blush and berry crush lippie
I love this one, its very summery combo
Enjoy

Ooh thanks so much guys! Sorry for not checking back sooner, but if you're reading my blog you'll know I've started an internship at Shiny Media which is keeping me busy, happy and up to my ears in beauty goodies. =D
I plan to review the SN lipglosses when I have time. I blog like crazy during the weekend and try to stock pile. =)
Ghost: Oh my, that must look so pretty on you with your colouring. They're posting a "what's in my makeup bag" video of me today. I realise I still have my M'sian accent (not a bad thing, I guess but its surprising it's so untouched), and I also... have NO EYES. *waaaails*

Hi Kahani
Just saw the video - woohoo Go Kahani.
You have lovely eyes. I guess it true what they say about the grass being greener. I've always thought asian eyes to be very elegant and beautiful. My eyes are heavy set so I can't do the eye liner flick (don't know whats it called) at the edge of the eye to give you a kind of Egyptian eye. If I do it looks droopy lol.
Also think you deserve a round of applause for promoting Silk Naturals. I noticed how you stayed on them longer and said about mixing the blushes with lip gloss
Keep up the good work
ps thanks for the compliment, I love that combo

Hi lovely ladies! Hope you gals are having a great weekend. Ok, so SN has quickly become an obsession with me. I've placed 2 orders in 1 week...and trying to hold off before placibg #3. But hey, I could having much worse obsessions, right? Anway, my fave combo right now is Idolize with Fire as highlighter and Birthday Suit lippie. It is just a beautiful combo for me. I apply both eye colors with my finger and its great!

Hi Everybody, I don't post here a lot, and I don't have piccies cuz I killed the dig camera that I got for Christmas, but I did wanna give some love for some of my new goodies! I had gotten a couple of the new lippies, and unfortunately, they just didn't suit me at all, so I returned them, and this is what I got in return! 1) Whisper e/s, sample size Vixen blush, and Jaybird lippie. Karen sent a sample of Tarnished liner with my stuff, too. DH took me out for dinner and a movie for my bday and this was my FOTN
Foundation(13 white, 1 ebony, 1wg)
dusting of Love Lure
Eyes....Whisper all over entire eyelid-lashline to brow.
With a small brush I lightly smeared Tarnished all over my eyelid from lashline to crease to use as a "base" for Haze.I foiled Haze from lashline to crease, and blended well. Milani Blackened Gold eyeliner pencil on outer 2/3 of each eye finished up. Maybelline eye pencil in dark blonde defined my brows.
I used Vixen as my blush. It says on the site that Vixen is is for tanned girls, but I AM NOT tanned at all and it is just gorgeous on me; just a nice warm flush of color. I think it may be my new blush HG!
Finshed the look with Jaybird lips.
Kind of a muted cream and grey and soft red look! I wore a black dress with blue and cream polka dots, and black strappy sandals and knocked dh's eyes out!

I am the picture of restraint today - truly.
Foundation. Then that mix of Date Bait and Love Lure Mikie mentioned (I mixed up a bit and have a little jar for it now).
Tart Light for blush, and a bit of Beach Bunny for a little glow. Tickled Pink for a lippie.
Eyes - I'm still playing with the clear mixing medium, so I put that on my lids, then did Taupetastic with Wink Wink as a highlighter, and the Mahoganny cream liner - which is perfect. Still haven't quite got the knack of the clear one as a foiling medium, though as a liner sealant for dry lining it's great - I need more time with it. And the colour liners are so easy, and Mahoganny is a fantastic shade if you can't wear matte brown (like me). Even if you can, it's a great shade - but the site glitch won't let me review it.
Simple but colourful. The e/s combo would, I bet, really rock with Carnal blush and Mesmerising for a lippie, though I'd use Tarnish for a liner for that.
And yes, kids, I do have a webcam on the way. I'm just not gonna think about what I'll have to do to my hair to get it presentable!

Summer has just started to kick in here in the UK (but I'm sure rain is on the horizon, but I'm positive lol) and as I was going shopping, I decided it was time for a summer combo, so today I wore:
Sprite from the crease to brow bone, Butterfly Blue on the inner half of the lower lid, then Breathe on the outer half (I sooo love this colour). Pixie as liner as well as under the eye, then with SN black mascara, strawberry and champagne as blush. You can use pout as lippy (works lovely), but I decided to wear Bourjois Effect 3D Nudes - Brun Poetic. Enough shimmer to wear during the day, without being over the top.
Thanks for posting this combo. I tried this look today and it is so soft and pretty. Being so fair I would have never thought to use use something as light as Pixie as a liner, but it is very nice!

Hey Pinkfox, nice to see you on the SN forum. Love your pic BTW
OMG I was wearing the same combo today as well!!!! what a coincidence
I also found applying the clear cream eyeliner first to the entire eye lid, really helps make the eye shadow last all day and I've swapped the sprite for gasp - very pretty. and of course the it brings out the blue in breathe.
Yeah that combe is really soft and great for pale skin toned women. I've been looking over all my combe's (got write them down as I'm forgetting what I use) most of them bright and soft.
Glad you like the combo, I love making them up.

Wink, Wink from crease to brow bone
Teal Apple from lash line to crease (I love this green)
Orchid as upper liner (I prefer applied wet but you can do it with the cream eyeliner)
dabs some more orchid on the lower lash liner (i just dabbed mine on dry with a brush, stayed all day. The power of karen's make up)
Babydoll as blush
Pout as lippie
Foundation mix 1 ebony & 11 white (I have finally settled on this ratio, only took me 9 months)
