Oh So Special Makeup Look 1: Ribbon & Gateau

I am loving my new "Oh So Special" palette and I've been playing around with it since I got it. This is one of the looks I created featuring Ribbon and Gateau, two colours that caught my eye. Gateau is a pink shimmery eye shadow with gold reflects while ribbon is a peachy matte eye shadow. 

Please ignore the cheesy grin lol....

Birthday Celebrations

Before the snow descended on London town, I went out with some lovely friends who agreed to brave the freezing weather with me to celebrate my birthday two weeks after the day and it was such a fun night.

Since it was my birthday, I decided to go a little extra with my look and add two lashes. Yes! two lashes  (well one full lash strip and one lash accent) lol and for me that's a big deal as I don't really use false lashes often but maybe it's time I do and as always the lovely Ruby woo finishes the look.

FOTD + The Archduke

Two weekends ago, I discovered a great place that I know I will be frequenting from now on. It's a bar/restaurant situated opposite The Royal Festival hall in Waterloo called The Archduke. They have great food, drinks and live music which I loved the most.

For this look, I opted for a very simple winged out eyeliner with peachy lips.

FOTD: RUBY WOO after DARK

There's nothing better than a red lip and for me Mac's Ruby Woo is the ultimate red lipstick. It gives a matte finish that lasts all day and doesn't dry my lips out as long as I exfoliate and moisturize properly before use.
