Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum!

Sorry for not posting in over two weeks, but work-life has been very demanding (in a good way). I'm off for the next few days, so hopefully I can upload all the Fall and Holiday purchases I had made. Yes, most brands have already released their Spring collections, but it's still Winter, and it's way too cold for pretty pastels and the like :P

  Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadow EX-15 hanaazuki.

Ever since I purchased Suqqu's Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-15 hanaazuki (Hana is flower and Azuki is red bean in Japanese. so it translates to red bean flower), I haven't been able to put it down.

 Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadow EX-15 hanaazuki swatches.

Over the last few months, I've used this palette 4 out of 7 days on a weekly basis. I've already made dents on
the brownish-plum-mauve, muted celery green and dark brownish-plum eye shadows.
