This is a look from Friday. The daylight/ no flash pics don't show how dark it actually was on the eyes. Usually with red lips I go easy on the eyes but I got carried away and this was the result. Strangely though, I like it especially because I was kinda dressed down. The smoky eyes/ dark lips thing is usually paired with an elegant evening dress or something so I like the contrast.
I used Makeup Forever HD foundation, Rimmel concealer, Milani Luminous blush
Etude House powder fix eyebrow pencil,
Urban Decay Primer Potion, 88 e/s color palette (not the shimmer one), Rimmel Exaggerage liquid liner, Gosh black kohl, Etude Black x Black mascara
NYX Hebe round lipstick (I am in LOVE)
NYX lipliner in Caberet
The next day I was out and about in San Sebastian and went for the same eye shadow with a little less liner, no blush and MAC Angel on my lips.
That night I was very lazy and just topped up my liner, popped on false lashes, added my Milani blush and Hebe lipstick and was good to go!! Although this time I dressed up a little!!
These pics show the deterioration of my makeup over the hours. Check out the shine and redness in the last one! Don't know if I can fault the MUFE foundation though because it was damn hot and we were dancing!
We went out on Thursday too and our friend Matt missed his train to Barcelona in the morning cos he was hung over as hell!!! He called to ours before going to get a later train. Would you know he was hurtin'?!!! 
I love 3 day weekends!! Life is goooooood!!

Ohhhh rebel!!
Can I make a crazy, outlandish statement???
Ok, I'll go for it.....
argh..... I'm afraid!
Ok.............. here goes.....
Kim Kardashian is not all that!!!
The smokey eye and nude lip is a look that goes back a long time... as in before Kim's time! There is no doubt that she is a very pretty lady but REALLY she has her certain look- smokey eyes with warm shades of brown and gold or black/grey mixed with either nude or red lips. Being honest- that's very stereotypical of my favourite/ most safe makeup so I do think it is faaaaaaaaaaaaaab. But, really, sexy makeup is smokey eyes, shimmering skin and nude/red lips. Red is instant Marilyn effect and nude lips are so Bardot that people can't help but think of the word sexy. Kim is lucky in that she has a great face to carry off looks that combine the looks but there are many pretty ladies around. To me, it's strange that a woman with little more than a Playboy shoot and a porn vid shows up so regularly on my computer screen! Yes, she is pretty but there are sooooooooo many gorgeous ladies who show fab makeup looks. I wanna see something different. I loooooooooooooove sex kitten makeup but there has to be more to it than Kim Kardashian who is just a prettier Paris Hilton.
Upcoming crap
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

NYX round lipsticks
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%.
left to right: Circe, Thalia, Louisiana, Hebe, Snow White, Fire, Tea Rose
My favourites are
Louisiana,
Hebe 
and Circe
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!
