Shear Glamour...

Evening my little iced gems :)

After feeling a little worse for wear these past few days I'm back with a itsy bitsy FOTN post from Saturday night. The weekend arrived, I worked a full rather busy day at work on Saturday and by the evening I was more than ready to don my heels and head out for a spot of live music and a glass of wine or two ;)

Living right on the coast we do tend to get extremes of weather and Saturday night was no exception. It was absolutely freezing, worthy of February temperatures, so because of this I had a perfect excuse to wear my gorgeous Winter trend inspired 'Shearling esq' jacket from Zara.

I wore this jacket with a simple oversize black t-shirt, leggings and teemed everything up with my new over the knee boots from Dune so I thought I'd go a bit more glamour inspired with my makeup after keeping my attire fairly plain.

I've definitely been loving a bronzey eye for the Autumn, to create this look I primarily used Woodwinked by MAC. I also recently picked up a fabulous tip; blend out your eyeshadow with a Mineralize Skin Finish from the lovely Sara in her latest Cheryl Cole Inspired Tutorial.

I used the Illamasqua Precision Ink to create a dark and defined lined upper eye and to blend in the false lashes which I used to give my eye a glamorous touch!

To finish off the look I wore Costa Chic from MAC, a modern twist on the classic more well known red lip.

I hope you like this look and do many of you already so as Sara suggests and use MSF's on your eyes? 

Much loveee xxx

FOTN - Little Sister's Art & Design Final Show

So last night, we as a family were celebrating my little sisters completion of her Foundation Diploma in Art & Design. She had, not only completed 3 final pieces of work to be exhibited, but actually organised and rounded up the troops to actually get the show on the road! Consequently we were extremely proud and went along to support not only her but some of her lovely friends :) 

I thought I'd do a quick FOTN to show you how I wore my makeup, I pretty much stuck to my Sleek Storm Palette for my eyes, making them super shimmery which I thought was a nice, pretty take on my normal 'smokey' eye!

Here's what I used: 

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC20

MAC Studio Fix Concealer NC15 

Benefit 'Big Beautiful Eyes Kit' - Brown Shadow for Eyebrows

MAC Soft Ochre Paintpot over lids

Sleek Storm Palette: 

- Darker Gold All Over Lid

- Shimmery Bronze/Brown In Crease

- Shimmer Champagne to Blend 

- Lighter Gold Under Eye (From Inner to Centre Of Eye)

- Bronze/Brown Under Eye (From Centre to Outer Corner)

Rimmel 3 Looks Mascara

Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner

MAC Blush Baby on Cheeks

Carmex on Lippies to Moisturise!

MAC Hue Lipstick

Hope you like the look, I know it's not very far out of my 'comfort zone', I think I need to have a bit of a play about with some colour and create a different look for you lovelies, you must be sick of similar looking makeup from me! Sheeesh talk about being boring hehe

I also thought I'd post up a photo of my sister Helen from last night... 

You may be curious as to what she is wearing, it's actually a dress one of her friends created and she was sort of a 'live' exhibit within the show! 

Hope you've enjoyed reading :) 

Have a *Fabulous Friday* my little peaches!
