FOTN - Birthday Dinner

Dinner, Dancing & Cocktails

This is the makeup I wore last night; embracing my K$sha-ness, I went for a rock chick smokey eye, with a perky pink nude lip. A video will be up later on YT, but in the meantime, here are few piccies!

Products used were...

FACEAtelier Foundation

MUFE HD Cream Blush in #6

Chanel Bronze Universel

NAKED UD Palette: Sin all over the lid & as a highlight in the inner corner, Gunmetal over the lid & Creep in the crease. I also ran the 217 along the lower lash line, so a mix of the 3 went underneath.

AVON Gel Shock Liner in Khaki on the waterline

MUFE Aqua Smokey Lash

Clinique Fine Brow Pencil in Soft Blonde

Estee Lauder Lip Gloss in 'Nude Rose'

And this is my outfit! I'm still not brave enough to do a OOTD type thing - whenever I have taken pics, they are awful - so Polyvore will do instead! This is not my exact outfit - the blazer for example here is £1000 from Net A Porter and I think mine was from Tesco! I kept it black & simple! (ps the top I'm wearing above is just a pyjama top...)

My black skinnies were from New Look

Black mid-length sleeve top from Zara

Black patent pumps from Dorothy Perkins

The feather bag pictured is my actual bag from ASOS which I think is like 2 or 3 years old

My current favourite earrings from V Westwood

Xmas/New Year Makeup Matte Eyes & MAC Rebel Lip

Hi lovelies,

Was getting a bit bored of having glitter all over my face & decided to do a matte look. Was also challenged on twitter to come up with a look using MAC Rebel Lipstick & here's what I did!

You can see the video here, but here's a quick break down of what I did...

Skin - MUFE HD Foundation, mixed with a smidge of MAC Face & Body in white, to lighten it slightly. Concealed under the eyes with MAC NW20 Select Cover Up.

Eyes - covered from lashes to brow with Brulee. Created an outer V & kept the crease super dark and defined (don't blend too much) using MAC Carbon. Defined the lashes with a very thin line of Clinique black gel liner. Loads of black mascara on top lashes only.

Brows - defined using Shu Uemura brow pencil, then darkened with MAC Carbon.

Cheeks - Illmasqua Nymph Blush & Chanel Bronze Universel to contour.

Lips - MAC Rebel Lipstick!

hope you like it!

Make Up For Ever Haul

Hi,

In July, when I was on the MUSE course in London, one of the brands I tried out a lot was Make Up For Ever. To be honest, I really didn't expect the products to live up to the hype, but by george was I wrong! I loved pretty much everything I tried and had made up my mind to make a few purchases. Unfortunately, the only place to pick up MUFE and try them in person before you buy, is in Fulham - not exactly the most convenient when I live in Aberdeen!

I didn't even realise they sold MUFE in Sephora stores so I was delighted to spy it for the first time! Here are some of the products I picked up...

HD Foundation in #120

The foundations are so pigmented that you only need the tiniest amount and you'll get amazing, gorgeous satin-y skin

HD Cream Blush. Possibly 2 of my current favourite products out of everything I own. Amazing, amazing stuff and if I could recommend one item from this brand, it would be one of these.

Maybe one of the products you've heard the most about, the Smoky Lash Mascara is thickening, lengthening, unclumpy and waterproof. What more could you ask for??

You can see me use some of these products here

What do you think of MUFE? Do you have any products? Shall we petition them to sell more widely in the UK??
