EOTD: Inspired by Tanya Burr, inspired by Haifa Wehbe

So I watched Tanya Burr's latest tutorial yesterday and, always looking for a good reason to use my green eye pencil, I decided to give it a go today.

Here are the products I used:
Base: Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Broze
Lid: mix of MAC Satin Taupe and MUG Glamorous with Napoleon Perdis gold shimmer pigment over the top
Socket: MUG Purely Naked with MUG Mocha for extra definition
Highlight: Laura Geller Wonder Wand
Liner: top - Clinique Cream Liner in True Black, bottom - MUA Forest Green pencil
Mascara: Mally waterproof

Do check out her tutorial because it is fantastic as always.

Here's how mine turned out:

Everyday EOTD

Just a quick and easy look that turned out nicely

MCT base
MAC Shroom starting in my inner corner then blended outwards
Satin taupe starting in my outer corner blended in 1/2 way + on lower lash-line over Mally Taupe shadow stick
MUG dark brown in outer V
Mally Onyx pencil on waterline
MUA liner pen in top lash line

Silver EOTD + B.B success :)

Just a quick post today.
Weighed in this morning and I am back to pre-Christmas weight of 2 lbs lighter, woohoo!!

Now to the EOTD, here's what I used:

Base: Maybelline colour tattoo in silver/grey applied sheerly
Socket: MUG Purely Naked blended as a base, then MAC dark grey(I will check the colour) applied heavier with a small brush to deepen.
Lid: light application of MAC Electra
Lower: Mally Gunmetal shadow stick blended out with a little of the MAC dark grey in the outer corner
Highlights: Laura Geller Wonder Wand on brow bone, MAC Digit on inner corner
Liner: MUA pen on top for subtle definition, Mally Onyx on waterline.

Hope it's useful :)

Let Bookie Bootcamp (re)commence + EOTD

Great start to the year - my laptop died, so expect even more poorly edited posts than before!

What does the title mean? Well, because my blogging is random at best, I never got around to writing about my combined weight shedding/writing my first book project that I started in August.
Here is a catch up:
Between August 13th and the beginning of October I managed to shift about 19 pounds - yay! - but then came the Hamstring Hiatus, a terrible time during which my hamstring (and I) suffered the consequences of being slightly overzealous during a split stretch.
Don't do it kids, it's not worth it :(
Long story short, I have had no slimming progress since then (and put on 2 pounds over Christmas - booo) but have just had the all clear from my Physio that I can start doing proper, non-rehab-type workouts again, woohoo!! I do have to be careful though, no jumping, so no HIIT, until the pain is gone :(

I actually miss burpees.....

Writing-wise I have only done bits and bobs, basic outlines, character breakdowns, etc, but it's coming along and I fully intend to be finished in the next 6 months.

Actually, that goes for both aspects of my project.
I'm aiming to shift a healthy 2 pounds a week, so I should be 3 stone lighter by the end of June, and to write something, anything, every single day. Even if it's just a sentence.

So now to the starting stats.

I weighed 14 st 3 lbs in August. I didn't take any measurements but I was a UK 14/16
I now weigh 13st exactly, am about a 14 and have the stats:
Waist: 34
Hips: 44
Thigh: 25
Calf: 15

I may start posting food diaries, pics, etc, for accountability.
- Activity - 5 Factor Fitness preparation week day 1.
- Breakfast - Good Hemp protein powder mixed in water (bleurgh, will be trying other ways with this soon) sliced pear and berries.
- Lunch - chicken, slice of cheese with cannellini beans, spinach and peppers
- Supper - chicken, steamed new potatoes and veg with butter

Now, to follow this epic post, an EOTD!
Base: Maybelline Colour Tattoo Bronze
Lid: MAC Shroom
Socket/outer corner/ lower lash line : MAC Cranberry, blended slightly in over the lid too, and MUG Corrupt for emphasis.
Colour wash pressed lightly over it all: Napoleon Perdis pink-gold shimmer
Top liner: MUA black pen liner
Waterline: Mally Onyx eyeliner

Again, my trusty BB Rose Shimmerbrick on my cheeks and EL Double Wear everywhere else!

Please excuse the lighting, I had to use my bathroom again because there's been absolutely no sun here today!

Happy New Year!! + Bronze EOTD

So 2013 is here and I hope it is better than 2012!
I'm starting as I mean to go on - getting shit done - so here is my first EotD of the year:

Base - Maybelline colour tattoo Bronze
Lid - B.E. READY palette apricot
Socket/ outer corner - Brown from same palette
Upper lashes - MUA eyeliner pen Black
Lower lash line - Mally saddle shimmer shadow stick
Inner corner - Mally champagne shadow stick
Waterline - Mally onyx eye pencil

Belated Boxing Day EOTD

Can't believe that Christmas has come and gone so quickly!
To hold on to the festivities a little while longer here is my, very simple, Boxing Day look

- Maybelline colour tattoo in Bronze as a base over my lid, blended up to my socket
- MUG Purely Naked in socket
- MUA Eyeliner pen in Black applied thinly along lash line
- lots of mascara!

On my cheeks I wore Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Rose and on my lips, Prescriptives lipgloss in Meteor (sheer cranberry, sadly discontinued).

Hope you like it :)

Festive eyes, too! Cranberry and green EotD

Merry Christmas!
This one's not the most wearable but I really like it :)
I've tried my best to get the colours to show up in the pictures but, as usual, I'm working with my phone camera and British winter sunlight, so it's pretty much impossible and it looks much prettier in real life.
I've used:
MUA Forest Green pencil in my socket, outer corner and under my eye.
MAC Cranberry across my lid
Napoleon Perdis shimmer powder No 37 ( a sheer gold shimmer ) pressed lightly over it all.
Clinique black cream liner on upper lash line
Mally Onyx eyeliner on waterline
Lots of black mascara, also from Mally
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Rose on my cheeks

I hope you like it, have a great day everyone :) xx
