Smoky Blue FOTD

    I was in the mood for a smoky look for the first time in ages (I had a funny turn towards neutrals a couple of months ago) and so I decided to play around a bit with a few shadows that had been sorely neglected. I'm pretty happy with the result and found a way to get the best out of one of the most awkward shadows in my stash.

   On a side note my new found neutrality paid off in that I finally have a lipstick to wear with looks like this that isn't too over the top or intense for day time.




 
Face:
L'oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer
Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation - 110 Ivory
Mac Sheertone blush - Pink Swoon
Make Up For Ever Sculpting Blush - Satin Indian Pink (I think?)
MAC Mineralize Skin Finish - Blonde
Benefit Brows A-Go-Go
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - 01
Benefit Erase Paste - No.2 Medium
Benefit High Brow
Young Blood Mineral Rice Setting Powder - Medium

Eyes:
Mac Metal-X Cream Shadow - Cyber
Mac Velvet Eye Shadow - Beauty Marked
Barry M Dazzle Dust - 22
Too Faced Exotic Colour Intense Eye Shadow - Midnight Mist
L'oreal Super Liner Luminizer - Black Diamond/Brown Eyes
Urban Decay Vice Palette - Occupy
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil - Perversion
Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lashes Mascara

Lips:
Bourjois Levre s Contour - 18 Framboise Exquise
Yves Saint Laurent - 13 Peche Passion

    Sadly the photos don't do justice to the incredible beauty of Midnight Mist, possibly the world's most awkward eye shadow but that's sunshine for you! 

    If you don't fancy the hefty price tag of Peche Passion ( actually a little birdie told me it's soon to be discontinued along with most of the original Rouge Volupte Line), Rimmel's Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in number 16 is a good dupe, though the formula lasts much longer and isn't nearly as glossy!

   On a side note  I've been pondering including where and how I used the products as an aside to the product lists in posts like this, what do you think?

Birthday Bronze FOTD

    So it was a friend of mine's birthday last night and I felt like giving the more neutral (if still quite dramatic) side of life a go. I'm not especially au fait with the whole browny/goldy/greige world, but a little exploration never hurt!

    Ps. Apologies for picture quality, it was late in the evening and my camera was saying no to close ups!



Face:
 Benefit That Gal Primer
Benefit Erase Paste - Medium
Benefit Brows a-go-go
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - 02 light/medium
Catrice All Round Concealer 010 - green/ pale beige
L'oreal True Match Foundation - C1 Ivory Rose
Mac Mineralize Skin Finish - Blonde
Benefit Box o' powder - sugarbomb/thrrrob
Art Deco Compact Powder - 01 Dita Von Teese Face Fatale

Eyes:
Mac Paint Pot - constructivist
Bourjois Shimmering Shine Liquid Eyeshadow - 31 Molecule D'or
Urban Decay Naked Palette - Half Baked

No. 7 Exceptional Definition Mascara - Black

Lips:
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter - 15 Tutti Frutti
Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss - 46 Sizzle Canicule

    My favourite part of this look was the completely bright orange lip that looks completely bright red when you put it on, without any of the worry or slippage you can get with most glossy red lip looks!
