Monochrome

Happy Friday dolls, 
This week I created a look taken from the current trend 'Monochrome' that was featured in Aqeela's blog ^^
Whenever I hear the words 'Monochrome', it makes me think of 1960s - Twiggy look with heavy lashes and cut crease.  So here is the step by step tutorial: 
Eyebrows:  Illamasqua Eyebrow cake in Gaze mixed with Sealing Gel for Waterproof
Eyeshadow base: Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow
Eyeshadow:  MAC Powder Eyeshadow in Jest all over the lid
Crease:  Illamasqua Medium Pencil in S.O.P.H.I.E to create the lines, then blend it with Heroine to soften the look.
Add Machine Powder Eyeshadow to add an intensity just at the outer corner. 
Illamasqua Precision Gel liner in Infinity and Mascara in Raven - tons of them as I finished my Fiberwig and waiting for the arrival :( 
Not forgetting the lower lash by using the gel liner along the lower lash line connecting to the outer corner and MAC Kohl Pencil in Fascinating on the inner rim


Lips:  MAC Kohl Pencil in Fascinating
Illamasqua Medium Pencil in S.O.P.H.I.E
Final Look ^^ 
For my base:
Illamasqua Hydra Veil and Matt Primer  
Perfect Mix Skin Base range for my foundation 
Ben Nye Loose Powder In Banana
Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Androgen as the blush 
Ben Nye Final Seal to set the make up in place 

 Enjoy xoxo

October Purchased

Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is
