quick eye make-up

today i did a very simple eye because i stayed at the boyfriend's house and i don't like to carry around my whole make-up collection plus i don't have as much time in the mornings over there... i'm a bit sad i couldn't do something exciting with my brand new book of shadows because, as you can see, it doesn't fit in my little seven-year-old make-up case :( maybe tomorrow...

i usually have some kind of braid in my hair - this is because i have a fringe that is 'growing out', so it needs to be kept off my face.  today it's a side-part, one-sided braid along my hairline.

materials:

- Chanel Ombre Essentielle in #60 Ivory (all over lid and up to the eyebrow)

- MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder (outer part of the line... looking at it this closely emphasises the need for me to buy MAC Fluidline)

- MAC Mineralise Eye Shadow in Blue Sorcery (inside of the line, applied with a wet angle brush)

- Chanel Le Crayon Kohl in Blanc (lower rim)

- Dior Diorshow Blackout Mascara in #099 (black)

- MAC Bronzer in Golden (on cheeks)

- MAC Cremestick Liner in Summerfruit (all over lips)

- Napoleon DeVine Goddess lipstick in Hara

i am in love with these mugs.. i impulse internet purchased four a couple of weeks ago (New York, Paris, Tokyo and London), but received a reprieve when they were out of stock (phew!).. i have now given my credit cards to John so that i can't use them without telling him - eek!  if only i had my own place and more money so i could justify them!!

of those four cities, London is the only one i haven't visited.  my little sister is living there for a while now though, so i do have a good excuse for going on a british adventure and ticking it off my list.

most recent of my travels was a six-week adventure in the united states of america, finishing off with two weeks in new york.  we stayed in a cute apartment in SoHo, right near all the designer-ness i could ask for :) these are my New York souvenirs.. although i have left out my grey NYPD hoodie from Walgreens in Times Square, which i love.

- my speedy is the amazing birthday gift from my darling mum, from the store on 5th and 57th.

- i have been in love with Chanel Gardenia ever since i first smelled it in Paris two years ago, so i finally bought it at bergdorf goodman, along with the little impulse purchase of Chanel Vendetta nail varnish.  this scent will always remind me of 5th Avenue and Polo Blue (John's NYC aftershave) will always remind me of the Financial District.

- my iPod Touch is the greatest Christmas gift everrrr from JohnJohn :) i love it... sometimes i play bejewelled on it so much that it gives me motion sickness.

hopefully more interesting eye make-up to show tomorrow!! ooooooooh which colours to use ?
