As a mom of 3, I’m ALWAYS trying to keep the peace around my house. This is almost too often extremely hard or impossible to do. However, I’m no quitter. And when the going gets tough, I usually lock myself in the bathroom and start putting on lots of makeup to calm my nerves (ok, I don’t literally lock myself up, but I do disappear into the bathroom with the door open in case things get hairy!).
Both are displayed on the family fridge that gets looked at daily as a constant reminder!!
As of lately, my two boys have become the best of friends AND the worst of enemies throughout the day. One moment they’re playing nicely like perfect little angels entertaining one another, the next they’re in a tug of war over one single matchbox car out of the 200 we own. Nothing makes me more crazy than to see my children bicker, argue, and whine with one another (maybe because I grew up an only child!!).
So what do I do to calm myself during this sibling rivalry- I put on my favorite shade of eye shadow- PURPLE!! And if you like the color purple too like I do, Estee Lauder’s nail lacquer in purple passion is an amazing color for your fingertips or you could add some purple shades to your home to cheer up the place according to House Beautiful!!
- one single shade of purple, Kat Von D’s “babe” from her True Love palette ($24) along with
- black liquid eyeliner on top, Kat Von D’s tattoo liner in “trooper” ($18) and
- black waterproof eyeliner from Avon’s glimmersticks along the bottom waterline
- black mascara, L’Oreal Voluminous mascara
- white shimmer shadow from Kat Von D’s same palette in “missy” in my inner corners
Here’s my step by step on my peaceful purple eye look…
How do you keep the peace in your house?? What eye shadow color are you passionate for- is it purple or another fab shade?? Sound off ladies- I want to hear your take on both!
