Around 20 years ago I used to go out a lot. I was into seeing live music and for a while hung around two girls, one of whom wore lots of makeup all the time. Unfortunately I’ve lost touch with these girls but we had lots of fun.
We were getting ready to go out one night and for some reason her Piaf eyeshadow (like the pictured above) came out and she decorated my eyelids. She recommended I go and buy my own. Not long after I was in the Piaf shop and bought the eyeshadow pictured above.
Obviously I don’t wear lots of eyeshadow all the time otherwise this would be long gone, but I put some on the other night and it brought back memories of these two girls and the times we had when we went out.
I also realised that for relatively cheap eyeshadow – I think it was about $20 for all these colours – the eyeshadow is quite good. Eyeshadow and me don’t have a lasting relationship. Some people seem to be able to put it on and it stays on for hours, but inevitably with me it will come off. However, this eyeshadow lasts that bit longer.
It’s also been really handy for the numerous 70s nights I’ve gone to because I’ve been able to plaster on blue eyeshadow. No matter what outfit I wear, there’s a colour to match.
I guess you could say when I’m in the mood for makeup, this is the cream.

I haven’t used blogger in ages, but the new design of the site looks great!
Gosh, I cannot even remember the last time I even wore eyeshadow. I probably should make more of an effort…
Hi Angus, hope you’re well. Haven’t heard from you in ages. Thanks about the site design. I moved to WordPress late last year and gave this blog a new look.
Alice, I hardly wear eyeshadow, but every now again out comes the Piaf!
I haven’t worn eye shadow for ages …only some the Nutrimetrics lady put on me.
I just don’t go anywhere …I need to wear it to impress anyone .Sad but true
Gawd, I haven’t worn eyeshadow in a hundred years or so lol.
I think my eldest, Feral Queen, cleaned out all of my make-up lol.
That’s a whole lot of shades to choose from. I used to have those big boxes of eyeshadows back in my teens. I loved to experiment with my make up back then nd spend hours in front of my mirror. Nowadays I just stick to the neutrals and am done in 10 minutes tops.
haha – I can’t remember my last eyeshadow occasion – may have been a wedding or something.
I have a very similar “combination” shadows pack, and I think it may last me until its left in my will!
Jen, the closest I get to Piaf is the Opera
Alice, you’re doing better than me. I’ve never been to an opera. I’m not sure I’d like the opera but I’d like to give it a go one day.
