Christmas Party Look

Hi girlies! I decided to do a Christmas look the other night for you guys. I think it's a great look for a Christmas party. To me, a Christmas party look should be frosty and shimmery! It's not amazing because I did it at the end of the day so my concealer/foundation was wearing off, and I wiped off my eye makeup from that day then never reapplied eye primer, BUT ANYWAYS, this is just an idea of some products that I think are good for a Christmas Party look:

Eyes:

On the lid, I used Urban Decay's Sin. Then for a pop of color I used Sleek's Good Girl Palette by using Lollipop in the inner lid. I then used Lychee as a highlight/brow bone color. Obviously, if I had used primer the look would of been a bit more intense. I also just used your basic black eyeliner on the waterline and a mascara to make the eyes really pop. You can obviously use whatever you like, but I deffo think shimmery is the way to go!

Face:

Again, SHIMMER! Lol. I used Prestige's bronzer all over my face, because it's very light and just adds a nice shimmer to the whole face. I then used E.l.f's Gotta Glow as a highlight, just over the apples of my cheeks. In terms of blush, I think of rosy cheek when it comes to winter time! So I used my Body Shop Autumn Leaves blusher.

Lips:

What kind of inspired this look was the 17 lipgloss in Star Girl that I picked up earlier in the week. It's so frosty and shimmery and perfect for a Christmas party look. I layered it over Revlon's Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout.

That's it! Hope you guys like it. I have some other Christmas posts coming up (can you tell I'm in the holiday spirit!?) where I show my favorite Christmas eyeshadows. Now I'm off to do another chapter of my dissertation. Waaaah. Lol.

Boots Haul + SHOES!

My boyfriend and I went back to Ed's Diner today....the milkshakes are too good, hehe. He asks me to give special mention to the Malt Peanut Butter Banana one! But I think you should try the Oreo shake! I stopped in Boots and got some things I've been wanting. Seeing as I have an e.l.f package coming and my Naked palette this week, I AM ON A MAKEUP BAN. Lol. No..really...I am...except I'm supposed to go shopping with my fellow blogger friend soon, so haha, maybe after that. ;) ANYWAYS, onto the goodies:

Prestige Sun Baked Mineral Bronzing Powder in Pure Shimmer: 8.99 pounds

(no flash)

I decided I wanted this after I saw that it could possibly be a dupe for the new CID i-glow in Sirocco. It's called a bronzing powder, but I intend to use it as a highlighter.

Here I've applied it right above my cheeks: (click for larger photos!!)

Same thing, but with no flash:

And now a frontal (?) view:

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout: 7.29 pounds

I've wanted this since I heard some positive reviews on it and really wanted to try out a matte lipstick. Not sure how I feel about it. Might be too baby pink for me??

Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Black: 7.99 pounds

I wanted a new mascara just for the hell of it, really, and heard good things about this one.

I applied this right after wiping off my old mascara from the day, haha, so it might not of applied that well, but I like it so far!

Then lastly, I picked up some Head & Shoulders because I love this stuff, smells delicious, and my scalp has been feeling a lil itchy lately (TMI?) so I decided to get some. And since it was 2 for 6 pounds, I had to stock up. That's a savings of 3 pounds! Haha.

I also want to show you guys the shoes I got today. They may not be the prettiest, most lady like of shoes, but they're so very comfy and I really needed a proper pair of walking shoes, since my feet keep blistering in my sandals+Converse. =( And since my bf and I love walking around London so much, I had to get some! Only 35 pounds too!

What's some of your most recent buys?
