I'm so ashamed!

Today I braved the cold and went to buy myself some Derwent pencils, but I couldn't find any in the hobby and art shops. They had Conté and Bruynzeel. Sigh.

So I bought 10 new aquarel pencils. >.< Shame on me, really.

Of course since there was no Derwent Drawing, I felt cheated. Charcoal pencils are not that good, so I went for Bruynzeel Oil, but they had only one bloody pencil in all 4 shops, so I bought that one, which was luckily a kind of dark ochre I needed. And I asked them to please oh please restock. With puppy eyes.

Will take at least a month. *pout*

On a happier note: by going out into the city, I finally got to try out my new, pretty pearl eyeshadow, copper mascara and the candied apple coloured lipstick/gloss I got from my mom for Christmas. Not the blush, since I blush in the cold naturally anyway. The lipstick was a bit strong (and very different from the deep browns and dark coppers I normally use), but it didn't clash with my hair colour, strangely. So I added some peach lip gloss to it and it looked pretty neat.

But a note for future reference: even though chapped lips are less desirable than cold lips, dropping the lipgloss at sub-zero temperature is suggested strongly.
