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...
