Everyday, I always pick the same shade of eyeshadow to use from the Urban Decay Naked palette I splurged on last year to complete my makeup routine. A great nude with just the right amount of sparkle, “Sidecar” is my go-to eyeshadow, even for the days when I do a “barely there” face of makeup. So when I figured that I will probably want a single of the color in the future (instead of buying the whole palette just for one color), I went on a mission to find the closest thing. As you can see from the side by side comparison, YDK and Sidecar are essentially the same thing. While I stood in the Urban Decay section of Ulta trying to scope things out, I will give the internet some kudos for helping me out here. If it doesn’t work out, Sidecar is sold online. So I’m not entirely out of luck.
For those days when my makeup is spot on and I absolutely adore an outfit I’m wearing, I would LOOOOOOOVE to take Outfit of the Day pics... but to say that I lack the perfect spot for it, or even that I lack a lovely photographer friend to help me with #OOTD posts, is an extreme understatement. Having a ginormous floor mirror would at least aid in my endeavors. The more antique/vintage, the better, though beggars can’t be choosy ;)
And if you can’t tell I’m on a vanity binge right now, here’s a fashion item for my superficial self. Empire Records is one of my favorite films and Liv Tyler may not be my favorite character in the film, but she’s high on my list of leading ladies for reasons I have yet to pinpoint. ANYWHO, as Corey in Empire Records, I have always wanted her tartan mini skirt. If anyone can find something like that in a size 18, LET ME KNOW PLEASE.
