let's finish what we started

Today I have a quick face of the day / failed outfit of the day that I meant to post before I left for Berlin! I went out with my Uni friends one weeknight to celebrate my birthday which was on Monday the 13th. I flew off to Berlin early on Saturday morning for a week as a type of celebration and had an absolutely amazing time which I am sure I will post about soon in more detail. I wasn't too keen on having a party for my 21st so instead decided that going away somewhere would be much more up my street! When I went out with my Uni girls we went to TGI's and had a lush meal, although I have to say the cocktails were the highlight for us all; I had one which I cannot find on the menu online and unfortunately I can't remember the name of it! I do know that it was made from both malibu and amaretto which are two of my favourite drinks, although for me nothing beats captain morgan's spiced rum and coke, yummy! Afterwards we went out for a few more drinks and all in all had a lovely girly night!

Here is myself after spending forever on my make-up, I had just had my eyebrows waxed that day so they look especially tidy! The lady who did them wasn't very good though; she managed to put wax far too close to my eyelid for my liking which hurt a lot. I will definitely be finding a new beautician, that is for sure.



I used Revlon Photoready foundation which I love, Benefit boi-ing concelaer, Sleek's contour kit, the blush included in the kit from Two-Faced featured in the post below, Urban Decay's brow box in brown sugar, my Too Faced naked eye palette, l'oreal superliner in black, Too-Faced lash injection mascara and a little bit of l'oreal glam bronze in blonde harmony as I am very pale! Quite a standard look; nothing too daring here! I find it quite hard to play around with colour on my eyelids as I am so pale - I tend to stick to neutrals, browns and bronzes!


Like I said my outfit post failed as my tripod has been eaten up by my loft and is nowhere to be found! Hopefully I can find it soon as I'd love to try an outfit post. All I managed was this close-up which gives a kind of idea as to what I was wearing!


Now that I am home and have recovered from all the epic walking we did, I'm slowly starting to catch up on reading all the posts I missed while I was away; it's amazing what you can miss in a week!! Thanks for reading, I hope everyone is well and that
 you all have a great weekend! xx

  8. Your makeup looks lovely, the waxing experience doesn't sound too great though! I've always stuck to doing my eyebrows myself because I'm wary of beauticians even though I would much prefer a professional finish!x
