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. 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!

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!

Anyway here is what I used:
Eyes:
Virgin (UD Naked palette)
Naked (UD Naked Palette)
Darkhorse (UD Naked Palette)
Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss
Make up Forver Smokey Lash Mascara
Illamasqua Brow Cake in Storm

Face:
NARS Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc
MAC MSF natural
MAC Blush in Melba

Lips:
MAC Lipliner in Stone
MAC Kissable Lip Colour in Woo Me

And to finish here is a picture of me with my new hair, after its been washed in all its fluffy goodness.

Todays Make Up

Today was just a normal work day, but for the first time in a long time I used a little bit of highlighter and some products I haven't used in a while and felt very pretty whilst wearing it. The eye is very similar to stuff I have already posted, but the face is a bit different. Very soft and feminine. It is also the best (and most even) winged liner I have done in ages!

I hate the way blogger puts in huge gaps between lines. Anyway, remembered my love for the ELF brow kit, and I never really like the orgasm multiple, but it is growing on me now. Its nice to mix up products every now and then!

What I took home

So if you don't know, I am visiting my parents for a few days. I thought it would be handy to share with you what I took home. Normally I end up taking half my makeup collection back with me, but this time I managed to narrow it down, its still probably too much for 4 days but a lot better than normal for me! Anyway here is what I took:

So I have a selection of brushes, these are the ones that I use most days, basic things like a blending brush, eyeliner, blusher brush etc. Mascara, that's pretty essential, tweezers because I hate stray hairs, two eyeliners, one black one white as I think both are essential, a liquid eyeliner, primer potion, my mineralise skin finish natural, concealer, two lipsticks, one is viva glam gaga for every day use and the second is violetta for a more daring evening wear look, I also have my usual foundation (studio fix fluid) in a sample pot that I got a long time ago so that I don't have to lug around the full bottle, and last but not least my Urban Decay naked palette. I love this palette and it has all the right colours for creating lots of different looks. It is also a decent size and isn't heavy to it makes it great for weekends away. Oh I forgot my beauty powder in Oh So Fair. This is my go to colour at the moment, I was going to bring another blush but I thought for 4 days, really? But yea, this is what I took home, I think I did a pretty good job of choosing essentials!

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:
