MORE OF IRENE ADLER’S BEAUTY SECRETS: THE EYELINER

sherlockology:

Since our last feature yesterday on Irene Adler’s Beauty Secrets, we have had a lot of requests for the stunning aquamarine eyeliner she wears in ‘A Scandal in Belgravia’. So, we went away and found out the details for you…

The Sherlock Art Department has confirmed to us that the eyeliner is Liquidlast Eyeliner in Aqualine by MAC.

Originally priced at £15.00/$18.50, unfortunately this item has been discontinued by MAC. The good news is however, currently eBay sellers in the US have it available to purchase at varying prices and are able to ship it worldwide.

I have the purple one :D

How To Build Your Own Mind Palace

anotherboywholived:

I’ve been using a mind palace since my teens and never thought it odd until I saw tumblr’s reaction to Sherlock’s use of the technique. A couple days ago I found myself building an extension in order to cram for my philosophy exam the following day and I figured I’d use this as an example and get you all exploiting the genius of this method.

If anyone’s any further questions just hit up my ask and we’ll talk.
