FUCK YEAH DOCS

They are beeeautiful and very comfortable and a bit too tight where the tongue is stitched in, but the polypierced guy in the store assured me that they would stretch; I believe him, too, I had to throw out my black Dr Martens Mary Janes because they stretched out too much.

Tomorrow morning I am off to raid the Selfridges beauty counters. If anyone has any particular products or shades that they recommend from NARS or Illamasqua or MAC or anything along those lines, speak now! As far as colouring goes, you know me: pinky pale, blue eyes. Not-quite-blonde hair.

In the name of Being Prepared and not missing out on something delicious due to inadequate forethought, I also looked up what sorts of foodery the Selfridges food court has, and apparently the Thing To Try is something called a salt beef sandwich. This is not a thing that Australia has. BUT IT LOOKS GOOD. A cure for iron deficiency with a smear of mustard and a token amount of bread, om nom nom.

I am totally crazy about Stila's eyeshadow; it's the best I've ever used. (I think it's sold by Sephora?) We have really similar coloring, and I use "kitten" (a pinky shimmer) and "holly golightly" (a bronze) as my daily shadow. Might be worth checking out!

Ooh. I don't think they have it at Selfridges but you CAN get Stila in Australia, so I will keep an eye out.

Nars Rajasthan looks like a duo that would suit your colouring. or Blade Runner, which I have, and can vouch for it's amazingness.

If I'm going to be buying these higher-quality pigments then I think I really, really need some better brushes than my current ones, which are very old and/or cheap. I might go and ogle the MAC ones for a while.

That's a great idea. I buy eyeshadows that I rarely wear all the time, but I never regret investing in my brushes. You use them all the time, and the good ones last for years.

Oh, I know you do :) I clicked that link for the brush set that you have your eye on and almost hyperventilated at how much they cost. URK.

Thats why I don't buy brush sets. Somehow it doesn't seem as bad when you space them out over months or years. :)
