Purple smoke and new(ish) hair

 

Last weekend I went out with the girls from work for an afternoon drink and an evening meal. I ended up driking a huge bottle of vodka to myself, and that's before we even got the restaurant, where I consumed more than I care to remember! To say I suffered on Sunday was an understatement, but I had a blast and luckily didn't embarrass myself. Well, if I did no-one has told me about it yet haha! I'd forgotten I'd taken some photos of my make up until I was looking through my folder yesterday, so that's why it's a little bit late. I've been finding myself in a make up rut, so I fancied glamming myself up a bit with smokey eyes and false lashes. My smokey eye looks normally consist of black, grey or bronze eyeshadows, but because the sun was beaming I wanted to do something a little brighter. I whipped out my purples and came up with this:

I used:

FACE

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - 51 Light Vanilla

Benefit Erase Paste - No 2 Medium

Benefit Boi-ing - No1 Fair

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural - Light

Benefit Bronzer - Hoola

Collection 2000 Eyebrow Pencil - Blonde

EYES

Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eyeshadow and Concealer Primer

Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow - Flying Down To

MAC Eyeshadows - Lotusland / Nocturnelle / Smoke & Diamonds / Carbon / Nanogold / Blanc Type

MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack

MAC Kohl Power Eyeliner - Feline

Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara - Black

Girls Aloud Eyelashes - They were either Kimberley's or Nadine's

CHEEKS

Benefit Bronzer - Hoola (to contour)

MAC Mineralize Blush - Dainty

Collection 2000 Shimmer & Shade - 3 Just Peachy! (to highlight)

LIPS

MAC Lipglass - Florabundance

YSL Golden Gloss - 18 Golden Lavender

And my hair is new(ish) because I've had a fringe cut in and some choppy layers added to the bottom. It's not a drastic change as I didn't want to lose the length, but there's some definition there now and it gives it a little bit of a lift. I really like it :) I preferred this look when the Feline on my waterline had worn off a little bit. It was a bit more intense than what I'm used to, but overall I loved it. I felt really glam and gorgeous all day. That might've had something to do with the drink though ;)

Hope you all enjoy your long weekend!
