Beauty

Today was my lovely boy's birthday, and though my presents have yet to arrive (which I am raging at!) I was determined to try make it a good one. So we decided to treat ourselves to our latest food find, an all you can eat sushi restaurant that we loved when we had our New Years Eve date night.  I'll post more about this tomorrow along with pictures, but my point here was that I didn't want to spend time thinking about something to do for a post, so I decided to just write about the makeup I did for our evening out.
Bear with me, I am no makeup expert, I am only just starting to come to terms with all the different products and probably use half the things I should for a proper good finish. This is by no means a tutorial, just my effort to try get a bit better every time (having people judging me is my incentive here).

So there it is, fairly simple. Just a slightly silvery grey eye with a natural coloured gloss. I'd normally swipe on a bit of eyeliner too but mine is on it's last legs and I have yet to buy a replacement.

The products I used for the entire look were:

Burt's Bees Radiance Day Lotion

Bourjois Paris Happy Light Mattifying Primer

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation - light porcelain

Essence All About Matt! Compact Powder

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - original

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette - bootycall, verve, pistol, blackout

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara 

Catrice Eyebrow Stylist - brow-n-eyed peas

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush - mauve cool

Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lip Gloss - flushed

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray

I love all of these products and may someday do a more in-depth review of them, but for now that's all I have the energy for. (Here's hoping my makeup skills and Arjan's photography skills improve)
