Porpoises And Cat-Eyes

Hello ^ - ^ I've had such a fun day today :D I volunteered to do a marine mammal survey, so today at 12 a group of us students took a minibus up to a lighthouse a bit further up the coast from where the uni is and did the survey. It was beautiful. We were on a bit of land jutting out from the rest of the coastline, just us and a lighthouse. The sun was shining and the sea was glittering...and I forgot my camera > . <

We were there for two hours, literally just sitting on the cliff watching the water for marine mammals. About ten minutes in we spotted a group of porpoises! It was so exciting ^ - ^ There were about 8 of them, and they stayed the entire time, jumping right out of the water occasionally :D We didn't see any whales though, which was a shame, even though we had been told that they were a rarer sight.

After a rather chilly (despite the sun) couple of hours we went back and ate some pizzas all warm and cosy in my room ^ - ^ A very nice way to spend the day :)

Last night I went out with some of my friends, it was quite a low key event, so I just wore a navy play suit with white bows, little black pumps and a grey cardigan. I had medium thick cat-eye eyeliner, white eyeliner on my waterline and subtle glimmery taupe eyeshadow over my lids. I also wore mascara and pink blush, but I forgot to take photos, D'oh > . <

For this look I used: Rimmel London Hide the Blemish Concealer in 001 Ivory (for under my eyes), Rimmel London Soft Kohl pencil liner in 061 Jet Black (for tightlining my upper lids), Rimmel London Glam' Eyes eyeshadow in 160 Punchy Taupe, L'Oreal Superliner Liquid Eyeliner in black (the exact number has been rubbed off the tube from overuse :P ) and Natural Collection Eye Lines pencil liner in white (for my water line). I would be wearing Bad Gal mascara by Benefit if I had remembered to take a photo with it on XD

Next week is my anniversary with my boyfriend, I can't wait to give him my gifts ^ - ^

Sleeping Late and Eating Chocolate

Today I slept until 11, I had a lecture at 9....oopsie XD I did go to the second part of it later, so I was almost good....

I really need to start being productive, my essay is due in 3 days, and I haven't even started it, today will be my last day of procrastinating. Hopefully :P I tried to be good with my laundry, but the machine kept eating my money - _ - it'll save for another day, I have enough clothes :P

So the majority of my day was spent chillaxing in my bed, curled up with my boyfriend eating chocolate and watching old Disney films. No better way to spend a day in my opinion XD It did result in me eating an entire cookie Galaxy bar all by myself...ooopsie XD I promise i'll start exercising tomorrow! > . <

Yesterday I went out with my friend to a social for one of her clubs, it was quite relaxed and informal, so I wore my Mon Amour t-shirt, jeans and moccasins. I was feeling in a wintry French mood, so I added my back beret style hat and I wore flicked out eyeliner :)

For my face I used Witch Hazel concealer, Missha BB Cream, Rimmel concealer (for under eye circles) and my Natural Collection powder.

I wanted my eyelids to be bare, with just the eyeliner standing out. I wore Lemon Aid by Benefit over the whole lid to prevent them looking red and as a base for the eyeliner. Then I lined under the lashes on my top lids with Rimmel London black soft Kohl eyeliner, for the top I used my Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in 1, Black ink. I flicked the edges out slightly, for a more dramatic look.

I wanted my lips to be a bit deeper in colour than usual, but I didn't want lipstick, so I chose my Benetint red lip balm from Benefit to add colour to my lips.

Not a very complex look, but I felt like having a simpler face :P
