Viva Glam Gaga Inspired Look

So before I actually purchased the new Viva Glam lipstick, I was inspired to try and recreate the look in the product promo images because I think it is beautiful. If you haven't seen it yet this is what it looks like:In the end my look turned out nothing like this, but its still very pretty and very wearable! My boyfriend did say I had looked like I had black eyes, which I guess is the risk you take when having the make up darker under your eyes. I also tried to bleach out my brows slightly with foundation, but it didn't really work out.
Here is how mine turned out:

Anyway here is what was used:

Face:
Foundation, NARS Sheer Glow - Mont Blanc
Concealer, MAC Moisture Select - NW15
Blusher, NARS - Deep Throat

Eyes:
Inner Corner, Urban Decay - Virgin
Lid, Urban Decay - Sin
Brow Highlight, MAC - Blanc Type
Crease, MAC - Wedge
Waterline, MAC - I Get No Kicks
Liner, Illamsqua Precision Ink - Abyss
Under eye, MAC - Twinks and Charcoal Brown
Lashes, Make Up Forever Smokey Lash

Lips:
Lip Liner, MAC - Stone
Lipstick, GOSH - Darling
Lipgloss, MAC - Woo Me

So what do you think? Do you love this look as much as me?

Sundary Superstar Product - Mascara

So I have decided to start a mini series, as I love looking at other peoples. Mine is going to be on a Sunday, if you hadn't guessed! It will be focusing on my essentials, so there will be a lot of photos with me with no make up on (eek!) and then with the product so you can get a full comparison.
So the first product is my mascara. I have been using this mascara for about 2 years now and I love it. I always stock up when I go to America because it is slightly harder to get hold of in the UK. It is Make Up Forever Smokey Lash Mascara.
So here we have my naked lashes:And here we have my lashes after two coats of Smokey Lash:

So I think the first thing that is pretty obvious, is that it is very easy to clump. I generally only do one coat because I find it is enough, but I thought I could show the effects more with two, bit of a mistake really!
It is also pretty costy at £17.04, but these are the only two negatives I can find about this product.
The positives are, that it is a lovely dark colour, it is lengthening and I think it makes my lashes slightly thicker looking aswell.
I didn't curl my lashes for these photos, but if you do it keeps the curl really well.
Another big plus for me is that this mascara doesn't flake. I wear contact lenses so flakey mascara really irritates my eyes. I also have pretty sensitive eyes anyway, so I have to avoid waterproof mascaras at all cost, unless I want stoner eyes. This doesn't leave me with panda eyes after watching the notebook.
Generally a tube of this will last me about 5 months, so not too bad!
