Miscellaneous weekendness… (LOTD, OOTD, Makeover etc!)

Sort of an offload-y post today, y’all….

 

First up, a FOTD which looks nice if you don’t look too closely at it. I bought a white gel liner at Inglot and unlike their others, I don’t rate it as much! It doesn’t seem to like the waterline too well and it’s not as opaque as I’d hoped. Ah well.

 

Eyes: Shadows all Inglot, Inglot Matte Collection AMC Eyeliner Gel in 76, Darling Girl Pixie Sprinkles
Lips: Covergirl Siren
Cheeks: Inglot AMC Cream Blush 81, MUA Blusher Shade 1.
Bone earrings: Topshop

See what I mean about the liner? It’s alright, it’s just not… amazing. Le sigh. I wish I’d done a more dramatic crease as well, but I was pushed for time.

Wanna see my awesome new skirt? Well, tough shit, because here it is…

Skirt, Central Park. Tshirt, Primark. Creeper pumps, Topshop. Necklace, Topshop.

Isn’t it the mostest perfectest skirt ever? It’s faux leather and it’s perfect for wearing to photoshoots because if I get any makeup on it, it just wipes off! I had to show off the awesome necklace as well – I love it so much even though it’s super heavy. If I see Topshop have a sale on, I head straight for the jewellery section!

And lastly here’s a quick look I did on my friend Dolly Donnahue today…



Eyes: All 120 palette shadows, Kikp Long Lasting Stick Liner in 09, Inglot Matte Collection AMC Eyeliner Gel in 76, Avon Super Shock mascara.
Cheeks: BeautyUK Baked Blusher in Peaches and Cream, Illamasqua Lover
Lips: Sleek Mystic, pink from 120 palette.

The new gel liner didn’t like her waterline much either! :( I saw a gorgeous look where the model had white on her lower lash and waterlines, and Dolly had pointed out a green look that she liked in my NARS book, so I put the two together. I love that lip colour on her!


What are you getting up to this weekend?

Makeover fun time again: Sorrell

My friend Sorrell asked me to do her makeup a few days ago - first she wanted something 'pretty' and then she asked me to recreate something I'd posted on blog a while back.

Ahsooo:








I used a shit load of purples, but the main lid colour is Hi Fis Between the Stars, which I still utterly adore. The purple was more vibrant in real life but we took these pics at about 9pm and there was nothing doing light-wise. I used Rimmel Vintage Pink lipstick and Evil Shades Wicked Gloss in. I really liked this on her, she's definitely a Purple.





This is a recreation of this look, and I think I like it better on Sorrell than me - I changed the placement a bit. I use all Sleek shadows from various palettes again. It was a little odd seeing Sorrell wear this much makeup at first as she's normally just a mascara and blush girl - it made me wonder if I wear too much slap! Only for a second, though :D

I've had an epically good weekend - I had my Christmas Dinner with some friends yestreday. It's becoming an annual thing where we all get together at my friend's mums house, who has a kitchen Delia would be proud of and cook and eat a crapload of food and swap Secret Santa presents. Me and Jen and Natalie cooked - we had an enormous buttery chicken, a great big boiled ham with a Orange Blossom Honey and ginger wine glaze, loads of chipolatas/pigs in blankets, cheesy leeks, celeriac and garlic mash, goose-fat roasties, carrots, parsnips and buttered savoy.... OM. NOM. NOM. Then we had pie and strudel and after THAT we had loads of cheese (and port ;)) from this amazing speciality shop near my friends house. I also lucked out and got the BEST makeup book ever for my secret Santa gift. It really is fantastic - it does have tips and tricks, which are actually decent, but it's mainly chock full of amaaaaazing pictures. It even has a mens section!
