Luna spam

Hi all,

Thought I'd share a few pics of my little Luna. Just to clarify, she isn't named after a Harry Potter character or Dani Filth's daughter, but after one of my favourite songs by Moonspell which you can see here:

Hi all,

I had meant this to be a smokier look but the lid shade came out lighter than expected and I had no time to re-do it. Still a nice look but better with a vampy lip in my opinion.

I'm off to the 'rapid access clinic' at my doc's today and have already booked another opticians appointment just in case that's the issue again.
