New Years Eve: Outfit & Makeup..

Hello Lovelies & a very warm welcome to 2011! 

I hope you all had a fabulous New Year, whatever you may have gotten up to :) 

I've been mega busy these past couple of weeks; finishing Uni to then working full time hours at work in retail hasn't exactly been the holiday I'd hoped, but Christmas was lovely all in all and I was a very spoilt girl! 

I've seen a few of these post, with people sharing what 'glad-rags' they decided to don to hope off and celebrate the turning of a New Year...

Myself and the boyfriend decided on keeping this year pretty low key; Family drinks, a few at a local bar over the 12 o'clock period & then back to his parents for more drinks into the night!

Here are a few snap from my night...


My dress was picked up as a last minute option from ASOS which you can see here it was a super freezing cold night, so decided to team it with my Dune thigh high boots rather than heels [..I certainly didn't want numb toes!!..]


Here is me & the other half before we set off out...


I also thought I'd include a rather creepy close up of my eye to show you how I wore my eye makeup hehe..

- I took MAC's Nylon and placed it on the inner corners and my brow bone then blended out
- MAC's Patina on the lid and along lower lash line
- MAC's Satin Taupe blended through the crease and on outer corner of lower lash line into Patina
- MAC's Carbon [just a touch] in the outer V and blended into the Satin Taupe

I also used MAC's Grease Paint Stick in 'Oil Slick' along my lower lash line and then slightly smudged it out..

Face
I used MAC's Studio Fix Fluid in NW25
MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Deep Dark to Contour 
NARS Orgasm Blush
MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Gold deposit - Used across cheeks and also on a huge kabuki all over my arms, decolletage etc

Lips

I swapped it up all night between MAC's Fresh Brew & YSL's Rouge Volupte No 24 Praline Delight

I truly hope you all had an amazing night & 2011 is a great year for each and every one of you :)

Lots of Love & New Year Wishes...
Laura Xx

    OMG! You and your guy are too cute for words! That dress looks fantastic against your tan. You've inspired me to pull out my Xen-Tan! LOL!

    Happy New Year!

    You look stunning! I love the colour of your hair, do you dye it? I bought the New John Frieda Foam dye today in Deep Choc Brown but looking at your shade I think I quite fancy a change xx

    Aww what an amazing response from you girlies! Thank you all so so much :)

    @ Sherrie - No I don't dye it sweets, it's 100% natural.. I love it though, quite unusual and I like to be a little different!
