Smoky Night Out Look

Hello :) Last night I had such an great dream last night, I made friends with Doctor Who on a bus and we looked after farmyard animals together, I woke up and was just like ohhh :( I wish it was real :P (Mainly because I'm a litttttttttle bit in love with Matt Smith).

Anywayyy, I decided to have a little play with my Bourjois Smoky Eyes trio, I love these eyeshadows and I'd really recommend them. I have 01 Gris Dandy, which is perfect for nights out. I'll definitely be wearing this look next time I go out.


It was quite sunny so my eye looks quite a creepy blue...
For my lips I used my Mac lipglass in pink clash to keep the attention on the eyes.

As ever, playing with my make up has made me realllllly crave going out. In just over 3 weeks it'll be my birthday and I'll be able to go out and have fun > . <. I love being at home, but I can't wait until uni again :P I miss going out so much...

Not a lot going on at the moment really, I couldn't sleep last night so I sorted out my sock drawer into little storage boxes because it was so full and messy. I only ever seem to organise or tidy in the middle of the night...maybe I'm a vampire cleaner?

Exams, exams, exams and a bit of make up too

URGH. It's time for exams. Which means it's time for lots and lots of revision *major sadface* I have three exams and one essay over the next two weeks > . < So scared! I'm going to literally not go out at all, I will be a gremlin hiding in my room :D Next week I'll be hopefully going to visit my best friend after my last exam ^ - ^ I am ignoring the HUGE train prices :P

Today I had two lectures on worms, I turned up to the first one, but when the lecturer said the next would be on earthworms I just went home XD I cannot handle that, far too icky! So I had a massive shop and a nap :P

I was just revising, but I decided to have a break and do this instead. I created a smoky eye night time/clubbing look. I think I'm just pining because I want to go out somewhere XD. I love smoky dark eyes at night, because it makes your eyes look really intense and stand out. I didn't use a lot for this look and it was really quick and simple, because if you make a mess you can just blend it out :P

I started by concealing my UBER EPIC under eye circles (hello lack of sleep :P) with my Rimmel Hide The Blemish concealer in 001 Ivory. I just smooth it under my eyes with my ring fingers so it's more gentle. Then I primed my eyelids with Lemon Aid by Benefit.

For my eyes I used my Smoky Eyes trio eyeshadow palette by Bourjois in 01 gris dandy. I love this mini palette, it has a silver, grey and black, all shimmery and really pretty. I started by putting the silver up to my browbone, and then the grey on the outer half of my lid, concentrating on the crease and blending to get rid of harsh lines. Finally I put the black on my crease and under my eye in a V shape. To make this more intense I used my Rimmel Soft Kohl eyeliner in 061 jet black to go over this V. I blended like crazy. Then I lined halfway along my waterline at the outer edge, only up to where the V ends.  I also lined my upper lash line and blended to add more definition to my eyes. Because my eyes were pretty dark by now I added a dash of white eyeshadow in my inner corners, to open and brighten my eyes. I used my white eyeshadow from my Topshop Eyes palette. Finally I added loads and loads and loads of mascara, for added drama and a complete look.

This proves just how awful revision is XD I can't wait until the end of next week when it'll all be over ^ - ^ ....for a few weeks anyway :P
