Both eye looks where done using just the Urban Decay Naked Palette. On my cheeks I have MAC Something Special blush and Pearl cream colour base as a highlighter, love that combination! I also have on loads of NARS Laguana bronzer, and MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and gloss. My base is just Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser as everything else I have is too light for me. I also used my Illamasqua Brow Cake as usual. For my friend we used Clinique foundation and MAC MSF Natural to set it. On her cheeks I used a Dior blush she has, it has a slight frost to it and is just pinky. On the lips is just some Vaseline as she hates wearing lip colour. I had a lovely night out and felt really pretty. I love that I did something different with my hair for a change! I do regret drinking that much and having to go into work today though!

FOTN - Some Smokey Eyes
So yesterday was my friends birthday which meant a night out. I did both hers and my own make up. I tend to do hers anyway, and she always wants a brown smokey eye, but after seeing my grey/black one she opted to go a little darker too. Anyway, here is how it turned out, I'm sorry that this picture doesn't show the make up off at all, but I felt really pretty all night and think I photographed well, which is the point of make up I guess? Anyway here's the picture: Both eye looks where done using just the Urban Decay Naked Palette. On my cheeks I have MAC Something Special blush and Pearl cream colour base as a highlighter, love that combination! I also have on loads of NARS Laguana bronzer, and MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and gloss. My base is just Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser as everything else I have is too light for me.

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:

Fail FOTD and New Hair!
So yesterdays FOTD was bit of a fail, but I still wore it to a interview anyway! Because it was a interview FOTD it was heavy on the neutrals.
The reason it failed (as you will see on pics) is that brown lips clearly don't suit me, and the splodgy liner. Hey you can't always be good!

It's snowing FOTD
So while the rest of the world had snow I was patiently waiting. My patience was rewarded as when I woke up this morning the streets where covered and it was still coming down heavy. So today's make up is quite fun, not something I would wear out, but its inspired by the snow, so enjoy!
As usual I wish I was using a camera as apposed to my iPhone because it is pretty useless at capturing the colour. And in the second picture you can see my geeky new hat!
Face
Foundation - NARS Sheer Glow, Mont Blanc
Concealer - MAC Moisture Select in NW15
Blush - MAC So Sweet So Easy Cream Blush

Another interview FOTD
So today's interview wasn't a office based one so I could go for something a bit more exciting. I decided to use the naked palette to create a smokey brown eye. I also used Ardell hottie lashes, which look pretty natural, benefit coralista blush and on the lips is NARS orgasm lipgloss. I am very happy with the way it turned out, que some posey pictures:
