Makeup │ Dark Purple and Striking Turquoise [Monday Shadow Challenge]

Apr 2, 2018

Happy Monday, my sweeties!

I hope you all had a lovely long weekend and that you have celebrated, for those who do, Easter in joy and peace. We still have one day off today (YAY!!) as we celebrate "Easter Monday" today. So I'm writing this while waiting for our friends to join us this evening for a movie night with the children. We will stay at home watching a children's movie with them and let them eat everything that is usually forbidden (potato chips, popcorn, chocolate, candy, etc). My boy (6) is so excited about it, he has spent the whole day planning where and how each guest will seat and how we will place their drinks and food. He's got a great potential as the perfect host! We will be watching Coco (not sure what this is called in English, sorry!). I'm sure that will be a nice evening for a Monday ;)

Well, time for Makeup now! Today, I have a striking look to share with you for the Monday Shadow Challenge. The colours this week are "dark purple and turquoise" se get ready to see some really bold shades!
