I also bought some fake eyelashes, very subtle styles. One style is a bit more voluminous and lengthening and the other is super natural.. Have yet to try these but I have high hope for them.

Illamasqua - For Your Alter Ego..
Recently I decided that I wanted to be a bit more adventurous with my make up - generally with colour. I always do strong eyes and I decided to try strong lips. I've invested in this amazing bright red lipstick from Illamasqua called "Encounter". I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I only got round to wearing it this weekend. I AM IN LOVE. It's very glamourous but quite edgy at the same time. It goes on quite smooth, but I do recommend using lipbalm or conditioner underneath it first. I also lined my lips with a nude/clear lipliner (sort of like concealer in a lip liner) to stop any bleeding which strong lipsticks have a tendency to do. It stayed put until I ate and didn't bleed. I've taken some shots wearing the lipstick and I have to admit I felt quite sexy wearing it! I think DBF liked it too ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2o12 !!
Okay, so I might be a couple days late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR all!
This year DBF and I went for dinner at Foxtrot Oscar on Hospital Road, Chelsea, London. It was a lovely 5 course meal which included Foie Gras, Scallops, Beef and Bone Marrow and Ice Cream. I may do a little review later on and include the awful phone pictures I tried to take.
My outfit was a black bodycon dress and my CL Very Privé in Pewter. I used Stila eyeshadow in neutral tones and my Eylure fake eyelashes in 110 with Majorlica Majorca Neo Automatic liquid eyeliner and Chanel Inimitable Mascara for my eyemake up look. KATE eyebrown pencil in BR-3. And Stila blusher and highlighter on my face. MAC Lustering for my lips. I styled my hair down with large loose waves created by an Instyler and Umerto Gianini Catwalk hairspray.
We headed to Floridita "Midnight Glow" NYE celebration with our friends after dinner and topped off the night with a tip to HK Diner in Chinatown, London. We ended up at home around 5am.
So HAPPY NEW YEAR from me and DBF <3
