Ok so I dunno how many read this but since the beautiful Fallon said she reads but isnt a follower I guess I can keep bloggin random stuff without feeling I'm talkin to myself!! This is not a beauty blog. I mainly follow beauty blogs and I love makeup but I can't wholeheartedly say it is. It's a random blog! :)
HOWEVER..... coming up:
% fyrinnae loose shadow review- I bought 20. I suspect they will be difficult to give swatches of but I will give an opinion.
% night time face- will be random
% red lipsticks- my favourites, how I wear them, tips
% red eyeshadow *** yes it IS scary but if both Edel and I can do it, then so can you! (*** we are both fair skinned with dark hair and green eyes but our colouring is actually very different so I think it will work with a lot people)
% my opinion on a very hyped foundation in 'make-up blog world'
% random shit
% Madrid pictures
% San Sebastian or Vittoria pictures (depending on which bus we get)
% a load of shite!!!!
*** Yes- for some reason I chose the percentage sign in place of a bullet point. I'm random like that! Deal with it!!! :P

Got my order from cherryculture.com yesterday and I am very happy with the spoils!!!! 7 NYX lippies, 2 NYX lipliners, an NYX red pigment and a Milani blusher.
Loving the lipsticks. Fantastic value in terms of quaity and pigmentation. I recommend 100%.

Work face
This is a pretty average work-day look for me.
Peepers:
MAC bronze
88 shimmer palette
Gosh kohl
Etude House bronze eye pencil
Etude House Black x Black
I usually use a very light colour in the inner corners, spread a medium brown over the eye from lashes to the crease of the eyelid and then on the outer half I shade a dark brown and then I may smooth on a shimmery bronze all over for some pizzaz. I then ring it with black liner on inner and outer eyelids which I finger-smudge. ( It's not shown here but, usually, I follow this with flicky liquid liner on the outer half of my top lids and often with a bronze liner under my lower lashes.)
Kisser:
MAC Shy Girl
MAC Myth
Benefit Her Glossiness Didn't Hear It From Me
***I may or may not have used Boots 17 blusher in China Pink. I suspect I did although it doesnt look as pink as it should.
***I also used brow pencil from Etude House, concealer by Rimmel and foundation by Essence but I'm too lazy to explain.
A lot of people would consider this a very made-up look for day but as I work till 10 at night i think I'm justified in going a little heavier and more 'evening'. Plus I don't care!
