CHRISTIAN DIOR

JEWEL: CHRISTIAN DIOR

Last month, I got my second £50 (80.92 USD/3,812 PHP) worth voucher from Flannels (my favourite designer shop ;)). I originally planned to use it against a pair of shoes but the pair I wanted didn't materialize so I ended up using it on a pair of earings instead.

The good thing about Flannels is that when you spend £1,000 (1,618 USD/76,812 PHP), you'll get £50 worth voucher. I think it is a good deal, don't you? The earings were originally priced at £120 (194 USD/9,150 PHP)... so at the end... they cost me £70... bargain or what?

Anyway, I thought I'd share with you my new pair of earings... they really are sweet and I love them to bits! I wear them to work hahahahahaha!

Silver with Swarovski crystals

That's all from me for now... catch you again soon guys!!!

CHRISTMAS PREPARATION

>>>CHRISTMAS PREPARATION>>>

Here I am continues to put a look together for the forthcoming Freemason Christmas dinner party. I've sorted my shoes out, now, the make up.

To get that Christmas festive feel, I grabbed couple of new Dior items.

I thought they are great match

Lovely Christmas colours perfect for creating smokey eyes :)

Could it be any more red than this? ;)

I thought, I'll try them on :)

Now, it's turning into a full blown cam whoring ;)

Grrr! That curled eyelash fell on my lower lip!

Shoes sorted, make up sorted... now the dress... Yes, I need something. Blimey! Looks like I'm turning up in a bin liner at this rate. Grrr! Where on earth are they?

FOTD: FRONT COVER RAINBOW EYES

>>>FOTD/CAMWHORING: FRONT COVER RAINBOW EYES>>>

I have not been in the mood to play with my make up lately and I think it's because it's been miserable outside most of the time which in effect brings me certain degrees of low mood :(

Gosh! It's freezing outside that jumpers, scarves and gloves are coming out. As much as I love that romantic feeling that winter brings us, I can't deny that I hate being painfully cold. Why has it got be bloody freezing? Grrr!

Anyway, you're probably wondering... what has it got to do with FOTD? Exactly... none whatsoever ;) Just having a little bit of a moan ;)

This morning... as my usual mornings of being off work and get on with my parental responsibilities such as dropping my little boy at school, I don't get much time to do my make up. However, this morning, I felt like wearing colour but didn't have plenty of time to do that. I checked the time and I only had 5 minutes to do my eye make up. I had my Front Cover eye palette infront of me so I picked it up and applied a bit of eye shadow and I was off.

When I came home from Sam's school this is how I look... I thought... Yikes! I looked like death!

...so... I've decided to add more colour to give myself that 'pick me up mood' and I came up with this. I guess, I looked a bit better than I did earlier.

FOTD: Jemma Kidd Make Up School Eye Wardrobe

Since I bought my Jemma Kidd Make Up School stuff... I've been wanting to try the Eye Wardrobe Plum Quartet but as you all know, I've been spending my last 2 months shopping for stuff that I barely had time to try them on. I've tried this eyeshadow yesterday and my boyfriend liked it so I thought, I'd do it again and take FOTDs.


I know, I know... I tend to post too many photos everytime but I just can't help it. I just couldn't decide which ones to post... and hey...! I think I'm getting good at taking photos... Have a look to find out if you could see the improvement I think I had :)

I'm still trying to apply me cream eye liner right... as you can see... it looks a mess at the moment. Any tips guys?

Phew! It took me over 3 hours to get ready today... I'm just glad I didn't have to rush. I've been watching Panacea on youtube (Not sure I've got it right) doing great EMU tutorial for 10 minutes and I wonder how she does it!

TTFN!
