No Competition

It's getting really really close now! Tomorrow I'm going Christmas shopping with my dad to get last minute pressies for the family, and then in the afternoon we're going to go and see The Hobbit! My dad's not really a Tolkien fan at all, but I am > . < And I can't wait to see the film :D

On Sunday I'm going to go to Canterbury to see my boyfriend and catch up with friends before going to my cousins house for Christmas :D I can't wait (partially because it'll be a break from revision :P).

I love my Benefit lipstick No Competition, recently I've been into bolder lip colours, especially now that it's winter. I decided to team it with liquid eyeliner because I'd realised I hadn't used mine in ages and ages. My skin's not in great condition at the moment because I insist on feeding myself delicious sugary foods (maybe a good new years resolution would be to eat well for my skin?).

 

I used - Chanel Perfection Lumiere
             Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
             Nars Orgasm Multiple
             Party Lover Cake Eyebrow
             Benefit They're Real Mascara
             L'oreal Super Liner
             Benefit No Competition lipstick

Back to revision, I'm onto coral reefs now, farrrrrr more interesting than sand and mud :P

Girly Make Up For A Not So Girly Night Out

Today I was going to go running, tidy my bedroom, do my work and buy some ink for my printer. But I woke up at 2pm :S OOPSIE. My sleeping pattern has broken down in the last two weeks (thanks mainly to a reading week full of staying up late). I have to change this :P I took ages getting to sleep last night because I'd just watched Resident Evil 3 with my friends and the moment I turned off the light to go to bed I was just like ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE. So I watched some Secret Diary to get the zombies out of my head, getting to sleep at 5:30 am :P

Anyways I'm going out next week for a 'rock n' roll' night at a club in town :P So I thought I'd try and think of a cute rock look to wear out. I decided the focus to be on the elongated eyeliner (to get be a little edgier than I normally go for :P) and to have softer pink lips to make it more girly.

Lol, the 'shocked' pose look :P

Face:
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (51, Light Vanilla)
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer ( 01)
Nars The Multiple Orgasm Blush

Eyes:
Benefit Creaseless Cream Tattle Tale (Up to browbone)
Benefit Creaseless Cream R.S.V.P (Lid)
L'Oreal Superliner Liquid Eyeliner (extended straight out on upper lid and 3/4 in on lower lid)
Benefit Bad Gal Mascara

 

Lips:
MAC Lustre lipstick Lovelorn

I thought this was cute, not too overwhelming and very sweet and girly. I may change my mind and go full out grungy emo girl to fit in with the rock theme :P But knowing me probably not :P

Random little life update : I've decided to start cooking proper meals from scratch (instead of just pasta and a heap of vegetables), so next week I'm going to try and make Tuscan Bean Soup and Asparagus and Egg Tartlets, yums! I hope they work out well :P

Summer Night Out Look

I've been craving summer for the past couple of weeks, once Christmas is over I get bored of winter, I dislike being cold > . < So instead of being a good girl and walking to the shops to buy some food I decided to make a look I want to wear going out in the summer :P Although my rumbling tummy tells me that this was not a good decision :P

Pretend that I've put mascara on, I only realised I'd forgotten it when I'd taken the photos and removed the make up > . < I'm so silly!

I never wear purple enough (and it's supposed to work well with blue eyes) so I'm trying to do more purple looks when I go out, but first I need more purples...

I used:

Face:

Benefit Porefessional

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (51, Light Vanilla)

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer (01)

Witch Concealer (01, Natural)

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (1)

Eyes:

Benefit Creaseless Cream (Tattle Tale)

Rimmel Glam'Eyes (410 Plum Romance)

No7 Palette Brown Shadow

No7 Palette Light Taupe Shadow

Natural Collection White Eyeliner

(I would have used Benefit's Bad Gal Mascara if I'd remembered :P)

Lips:

Revlon Matte Lipstick (003 Mauve It Over)

Mac Lipglass ( Pink Clash)

On a side note it's my boyfriends birthday today! So I'm going to give him his (slightly rubbish) handmade card and give him some birthday hugs :) (After buying food though...)

Copper Eyes and a Depressing New Found Talent

Hello ^ - ^ Yikes, what a week, I've had SO MUCH WORK > . < But I've handed in everything which needed to be handed in now, so I deserve a break :P I love that relaxed feeling you get after you've handed in a major assignment. So peaceful, it doesn't even matter what mark I get, it's done :) (well the mark doesn't matter until I actually find out and have to jump off the pier).

Earlier today in an IT skills lesson (which I hate) I was told repeatedly that I have 'a gift with excel'. Um what? A gift with excel? No thank you, seriously...no thanks. Some people are talented at music, or art, or sports. But not me. I have the talent of being able to make beautiful complicated graphs on excel. Yay. I think I might take this one back to the talent shop and exchange it for something a bit nicer :P

I bought a train ticket home and a HUGE suitcase yesterday :D I can't believe it's only three and a bit weeks until I go home for the Christmas holidays, AND I have a new house, which is a bit weird. I am looking forward to decorating my new bedroom though ^ - ^

Today out of nothing else but not wanting to go food shopping (such a chore) I made this cute copper eyes look. I was just thinking of a simple look I could wear to my friends birthday next week, which will definitely involve bars and clubs. I have a Collection 2000 angelic palette and the bottom row of it has two gorgeously glimerry coppery brown shades, so I thought, WANT THESE ON MY EYES... but not that weird :P

Here's what happened:

I did my normal face routine of Porefessional (my new baby <3 ), BB cream, blemish concealer and under eye concealer. I then bronzed under my cheekbones to create a contour, and then under my jawline and a little up to my temples. This really helps with the copper/bronze theme of the look.

For my eyes I primed with Lemon Aid, then added my Benefit Creaseless Cream in Tattle Tale, a gorgeous shimmery gold cream, I smoothed this on right up to my browbone. Then I used a matte yellow/sand colour and added it just in my inner corners, so my eyes wouldn't appear too close together. After that I used a gorgeous shimmery bronze all over the rest of my lid. To add depth I used the dark shimmery brown in my outer corners and crease, and extended it a little bit upwards to make the look more 'night time'. Then I blended like crazzzzzzy, to get rid of icky harsh lines. I then added a little more of the bronze onto the centres of my eyes, to make sure that it was REALLY glimmery :P

I lined under my top lashes with a soft black pencil liner, to make my lashes look thicker. I used a liquid eyeliner and lined all along my top lashes, corner to corner, with a teensy flick at the outer edge. Then I went back to the pencil liner and lined my waterline, connecting to the outer and inner corners. I added the shimmery bronze under my eyes a little and then lined under my bottom lashes. I smoked this out, so my eyes didn't look too bottom heavy. Finally I added a load of mascara.

My lips are really simple, I used a light nude/pink, so they looked a little nuder than my natural lip colour (my lips are quite red naturally) to emphasise the eyes.

I might have a little nap now...I don't suit waking up at 8....it's unnatural :P
