FOTD: Spring Make Up

FOTD: SPRING MAKE UP + LUNCH DATE

Hello guys! Missed me? Just another update on my attempt to create a spring make up look using Revlon Make a Sheen in Olive it up (865) on my eyes and MAC Lipgelee in Jellybabe on my lips. Outfit by Jane Norman, Therapy by House of Fraser and Karen Millen.

Anyway, my bf took me out for lunch today, yipeee! We both had 3 course meals (plus a glass of rose wine and red wine... and a cup of coffee) and all plates were cleared up hahaha! I felt so lardy after the meal, I could hardly breath hahaha! Good job I had to walk a bit to get fetch my little one from school and to get home so that helped worked my heavy lunch off. Thanks for the lovely lunch honey!!! Love you loads!!!

I had to travel on a bus to get to my bf's place and soon as I met my bf I complained of how cold I was and when I took my coat off my bf said to me... 'no wonder you're freezing!'. I thought 3 layers of tops would make me warm enough but I've to remember it's still winter here hahaha! Vanity!!!

So, soon as I got myself ready, I took a FEW photos. Hahaha! Sis Nikki knows what I mean about FEW ;)

PHEW!!! You thought it was never gonna end, didn't you?

TTFN!!!

SPRING MAKE UP AND ATTEMPT TO CREATE A SPRING LOOK

GOODBYE WINTER BLUES HELLO COLOURFUL SPRING!!!

I'm already getting feed up of cold winter and I can't wait for it to get warmer soon. In the past 2 weeks that I've been on my annual leave, I've never even been bothered much about putting my usual make up. I've been goind out wearing foundation, powder, eyebrows (I just draw them ;)) and a pale lipgloss. I haven't been bothering myself much about eye colours and blushers and I guess it's because it's always miserable outside.

So...! Since my bf has invited me (or was it me who invited myself?) to join him for lunch today, I thought I'd make an effort to do something a little cheerful and came up with ideas of wearing spring colours. This season, green, orange, yellow and purple are in so I thought, I'll have a go at it.

Below are a few items of make up I bought last week.

Benefit Concealer... Lyin' Eyes. I'm happy with the coverage it gives me and it's dead easy to control when using it.

Revlon Spring Eyeshadows. Make A Sheen

Pretty Colours

My attempt to create a spring look using Revlon Make a Sheen eyeshadow in Espresso (Like express yourself), Elleana Lipgloss (from Shen), top from Oasis (sale) and waistcoat from Karen Millen (sale). Hit or miss? You'll be the judge

WARNING: FROM THIS POINT IS PURE CAMWHORING ;)

I barely wore eye make up in the past 2 week and it felt weird doing it again. I've only managed a 3 and a half hour sleep (I chatted to sis Nikki until 1.30am and woke up at 5 to get ready to take my son to school and guess what?... I chatted to sis Nikki again when I woke up ha ha ha!) so I looked really really tired but I think my new Benefit concealer helped.

Oh! I've had my hair done as well hence the dark side of me ha ha ha! My hair colour this time is darker than my natural but never mind, it'll soon fade ha ha ha!

KAREN MILLEN SALE!!!

NEW STUFF FROM KAREN MILLEN SALE

After spending a few days trying to sort out my clothes with the help of my bf, I thought the last thing I would want to do is to go out shop for more but I just couldn't resist these two lovely waistcoat from Karen Millen. The black one was half price and the cream one was on 75% sale. Amazing so I grabbed them both.

There are millions of lovely stuff out there on sale but I have to be sensible on what I buy this time. My 2 boys (bf and son) keeps reminding me about my New Year's resolution and I sometimes end up putting myself to shame about it ;)

PARTY TIME!!!

>>>PARTY TIME: AT THE FREEMASON CHRISTMAS DINNER>>>

Last Friday, my boyfriend took me to the Freemason Christmas dinner (Gosh! Time flies so quick and I can't believe it was my 3rd Christmas dinner with them!) and as always, we had to make an effort to look... let's just say... 'nice'.

As some of you have been aware of the preparation that I've been doing in the past weeks, I hope it all has paid off. For the night, I'd like to look a bit classy with a touch of glam. That day was so hectic for me as I've nearly spent most of the day doing my pedicure and manicure that I can't believe I went to have my hair done without make up on (Shock horror, I know!). Well, I had to make the most of the time I had to prepare.

Below are 'a few' photos that we've taken before we headed for the party. I didn't have the chance to take any at the party though :(

My gorgeous boyfriend and I :)

Another one of us :)

Oh right! Be warned... the rest are just pure cam whoring ha ha ha!

'Does my bum look big in this?' pose. No, not really... just wanted to show the back of the dress

Back of my dress :)... a better one I think

We had a lovely night and it was nice to see everyone again.

What about you? How's your Christmas celebration doing so far?

Care to share? Please do :)

TTFN!!!
