BOURJOIS:: Smoky Eyes Trio (Mordoré Chic 03)

i got this a few weeks ago and i absolutely love it!

i love it so much that i use it on a daily basis now ^^

the eye shadow stays on all day and you don't need a lot of it -

a little definitely goes a long way with this little beauty!

i got the Mordoré Chic 03 trio (third one in the photo above)

so there's a light shimmery beige colour, a gold and a shimmery dark brown.

i don't need to gather a lot on my brush to see the results

and the product lasts all day - even without primer!

which is amazing because i don't usually use primer (pure laziness)

and i can get quite busy throughout the day so i don't have time to reapply :)

the packaging is absolutely adorable!

it's a small circular pot which is slightly smaller than my palm

so it's extremely convenient and doesn't take up a lot of space in my clutch.

they also provide you with a small applicator on the side

so if you bring this with you on a night out, then you can reapply with that

(rather than using your fingers or having to bring a brush)

they also have instructions on the back for a basic smokey eye look

which is incredibly helpful for newbies :)

you don't have to follow their instructions, it's just a guideline -

i use mine in a completely different way which is fine.

i use the lightest shade on my tear ducts and the inner third of my eyes,

the darkest shade on the outer third and the medium shade in the centre

to blend away any harsh edges and because the gold looks stunning!

and i also apply the lightest shade on my brow bone..

overall, i would definitelyi (100%!) recommend this product

as the eye shadows are pigmented enough to give a beautiful smokey eye look

and it is very, very convenient to have with you on any occasion!

i think i paid about £6 for this too so it was definitely worth it! ^^

pros:

long lasting

small packaging

extra applicator

instructions for newbies

and no cons for this amazing product! :o

MASKED GOLDILOCKS:: Make Up And Hair

carmen and i attended a fancy dress party two weekends ago

(only, we were one of the very few who actually dressed up as something!)

we wore matching outfits, heels, masks, hair and make up

so we spent the entire night confusing everyone at the party! ;)

for the face, i concentrated on the eyes and the lips

as everywhere else would be covered by the mask..

and i actually made the mistake of using an eyebrow pencil and concealor

which will melt behind your mask throughout the night!

so it will eventually transfer onto the back of your mask :(

i actually chose quite a simply smokey eye look by focusing on gold

to compliment both the outfit and the beautiful mask :)

for the inner third of my eyelids:

i used a light, shimmery cream eyeshadow to make my eyes appear larger

and i also placed some near my tear ducts and lower lash line.

for the centre of my eyelids:

i used a shimmery gold to blend the cream and brown together

and brushed it slightly higher than my crease as i was planning on wearing falsies.

for the outer third of my eyelids:

i used a dark brown eyeshadow near the crease to deepen the look

and i feathered it towards the brow as i wanted the eyeshadow to be still be visible

after putting on my super thick falsies!

for the cheeks:

if your cheekbones aren't very apparent, bronzer and blush is a must! :)

for the lips:

i couldn't decide between nude lips and rosy lips

and decided to opt for rosy lips as they complimented the mask beautifully!

(which was somewhat surprising for me haha!)

and i chose a lip stain to avoid having to reapply constantly.

for the hair:

i tied two low ponytails and used a curling iron to create spiral curls

and hair sprayed them into place :)
