It's very different for the bright looks that I normally post on my blog (not that I've done so for a while) but as it's just a trip to the cinema and I'm going to be in the dark stuffing my face with popcorn, I thought I should go a bit easy on the greens and blues.

I am really in love with this look, just because it's so warm and neutral and very different from what I normally do as it looks very Kelly Rowland Inspired; and I am soooo in love with Kelly Rowland.

What do you think about this look? Do you see the unintended Kelly Rowland inspiration? I would love some feedback, so please leave a comment below.

I'm off to see Batman: The Dark Knight Rises but click here for a full list of products I used.

Blue Abyss

I don't know what it is about me and the colour blue lately but all I've been wearing all this past week is blue eye-shadow.I don't know if I love this colour more because I been wearing coloured contacts all week or because it actually looks good on me. Either way I'm hooked!!!

 This look is just a simple smokey eye working with a dark blue and purples. The two shades of purple I have used are pretty similar in terms of shade, the only difference between the two is Parfait Amour is more of a lavender purple while Savage is more plummy

Outer Two-Thirds & Vee - Helen E Eyeshadow in Dark Blue

Bottom Lash Line: - MAC Eyeshadow in Parfait Amour

Highlight:- Urban Decay Naked Palette (Buck)

Bridge Colour:- MAC Eyeshadow in Texture

Face

Foundation:- MAC Studio Fix in NW45

Highlighting Concealer:- MAC Studio Fluid in NW40

Diet Coke and Benefit Puppet Inspired FOTD

Has anyone seen the Benefit and Diet Coke Collaboration going on right now??

Image from Ice Magazine 

There I am posing with the Benefit & Diet Coke Ad in my copy of Company Magazine

I absolutely love it!!!

I especially love the eye make up look worn by the dark skinned benefit doll named Irene. 

This look is all about the eyes yet keeping the rest of the face VERY nude and simple. It's a collaboration of blues, navy's, greens and black  with a pale/nude lip and so I thought, 'Hey, since I've already got the full fringe hairstyle, I might as well try recreate this look'.

I've spent a lot of this week jamming around in my house, eating my weight in chocolate digestive, watching an obscene amount of TV and generally acting like a big kid. This is just a little FOTD dedicated to how I'm feeling right now (bloody comfy).
