I Got Purple Problems

Upon preparing this recent post I realised a trend, I have purple problems. I don't know what it is about the colour but it keeps turning up in my makeup collection... A LOT. And before you ask, my favourite "colour" is black. Apparently black is a tone not a colour...so de graphic pros tell muh.

All the fun is on Instagram

Out of four Maybelline Vivids I only kept Brazen Berry

M.A.C. Heroine lip glass and liner are must haves for purple lovers

Upon a recent iMart rummage with my friend Katrina, she pointed out that I have loads of purple nail polishes as well. I scoffed at her...until I was preparing for the blog sale. The only one I could part with was the O.P.I mini in 'You're Such A Buhda-Pest'. siggghhhhhhhh

I've heard many women of colour on YouTube say that purple looks great on us. I have to agree; and they're so many shades that you just have to play around till you find the one that accentuates your skin tone best. From nail polish to eyeshadow there's a purple out there for you.

I love Essie 'Play Date'

'Stance' by Illamasqua is a lovely bright one

L'Oreal 'Addictive Plum' is all grown up looking 

'Amethyst' from Revlon is fully opaque in one coat

Essie 'DJ Play That Song' was all the rage for summer

Finally, purple really enhances brown eyes.

I know I'm not alone in this. Share your favourite purples in the comments.

Till next time...if you see me buying purple nail polish say, STEP AWAY FROM THE DISPLAY!

Uh beg yuh...
