Silver Fox

Silver Fox is the name of the quad from Revlon's latest Autumn collection. Whilst there's no silver in sight, the colours are so gorgeous and appropriate for the season. This evening I decided to test it out!

I used the white in the inner corner, the gray on the centre of the lid, the maroon in the crease and outer v with the turquoise on the lower lash line.


The colours are pigmented but I did have to wet my brush to intensify the colour of the maroon in some areas. There was quite a bit of fallout as the colours are a little chalky but they still blended easily. I love the end result and would certainly use this quad again, the colours are subtle enough for day time yet dramatic enough for the evening.

Here's everything I used..
  • Bourjois 10hr Sleep effect foundation (Set with Mac sheer mystery powder on T zone)
  • Mac Studio finish concealer
  • Benefit Hoola
  • Benefit High beam
  • Nars Sertao
  • Revlon colorstay 'Silver Fox' eyeshadow quad
  • Urban Decay 24/7 liner '1999'
  • L'oreal Voluminous mascara (Not in pic!)
  • Rimmel 'hazel' Eyebrow pencil
  • Nars 'Tashkent' pure matte lipstick

And a closeup of the finished look!


I dyed my hair dark brown today with a PPD (Chemical free) hair dye which I ordered from Aubrey Organics, it's henna based and will not damage my hair or cause any irritation. Instead, it promises to strengthen my hair. My aim is to grow my hair, and chemicals don't allow me to do that due to the damage they cause which means more trims.


Love it! :) I had to keep it in for 1 and a half hours, it was quite messy but worth the hassle. My hair was looking very light and dare I say it had a orange tinge (Blueeurghh!) Now it's a rich mid tone brown with no red or orange. Oh and this henna doesn't stain the skin, how weird is that? Very cool.


Here's what I wore this evening.. A classic black dress!



Here's what I styled it with!


What's your thoughts on 'Silver Fox', chemical free hair dye and what do you team a classic black dress with?
