Colour of the day: seafoam

Image
These colour of the day posts were a good idea, but they could get a bit overwhelming. From now on I'll be sticking to not only specific colours for them, they'll be colours forecasted by Pantone for the season. As we end spring and go into summer, the perfect transition colour is seafoam. Admittedly I have a small seafoam collection, but just enough to make my eyes pop.

They remove my eye makeup with ease and are just a pleasure to use.   The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Pastel Cushion Blusher in Rose Cushion (~$9.00) By far one of the cutest blushes I own, this blush from The Face Shop is a favourite. It's a lovely ...
