I don't really do big nights out these days. Usually because of a lack of money, time or interest. I'll sooner choose a live gig or a night on the couch, watching dvd's and drinking tea, than trotting around a dance floor toting an overpriced glass of bubbly. Still, on the rare occasions I do...ahem...'club' (usually on someone's birthday, as was the case here) I relish in dressing up. Here's a little evening look I had fun putting together before a birthday bash in the city the other night.

| I have a mad love affair with these lashes! |
As you can see, I finally got around to adorning my eyes with the amazing Deer and Butterfly false eyelashes by Paperself. Some of you might remember me swooning over them in
this post. With a pair of nail scissors, I turned them into accent lashes and tried to make the sweet little butterflies the main point of focus. They deserved the attention!

Wow, I love your make up, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks doll.
DeleteGreat Look ,love the Make up ♡

DeletePaperself lashes!! I've been looking into those products so much lately! They look amazing on you by the way! Have you tried any of the other designs? Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThey're wonderful aren't they?! They're so unusual, and never fail to make me feel glamorous. I've worn the Peach Blossoms and also own the Lace Garden ones. I did a swooning little blog post about them previously. It's linked above.
DeleteJust randomly clicked on your blog.

Aw thankyou. Also, I'm such a perfectionist with my eyebrows, so I'm happy you mentioned that.
DeleteI'm glad you stopped by randomly Alex.

I'm not one for dancing much, but I'll dance for a friend's birthday. Like you, I prefer going to a concert instead.
ReplyDeletePS You're very pretty! You've go this almost fairy-like look! (I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I'm not sure hot to explain it.)
Yeah, concerts are definitely top of the list for me. I'm a bit of a gig junkie.
DeleteAnd thanks love. That's sweet of you. I feel like the lashes definitely play a part in the magical look though.
Those falsies are so much fun for a night out, they really add a special touch to your makeup :) Your skin looks flawless! The MAC eyeshadow is such a pretty colour and I love that Bourjois blush, it's one of my favourite cheek products for sure.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a nice little bundle of compliments! Thankyou so much!
DeleteYeah, the MAC eyeshadow in Blackberry is never, ever talked about - which surprises me. It's such a great matte eyeshadow.
Oh and I have to agree with you there on the Bourjois blush. This one comes up as a highlighter in these photos. The shimmer isn't that noticeable in person, but when flash is on it - BAM!!
amazing post I lov'it!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best parts of a night out is getting ready! You look lovely :) x
ReplyDeleteHere here! Glad I'm not alone there! Thanks a million.
Deleteloove the red hair. I'm thinking about going red also but I know its a pain to keep up with! haha. love those lashes I seen some at sephora
