Little Red Riding Hood

A few weeks back one of my close girlfriends in London had her flat warming party and in true antipodean style, they decided to made it a themed dress up party! I absolutely love dress up parties, it makes house parties a lot more fun, especially when people make a proper effort to create or make costumes! The theme for her housewarming was 'Animated Antics' which meant "if you were an animated character who or what would you be?" It took me a while to decide what to dress up as because couldn't think of many cartoon characters I admired growing up...(I wasn't allowed to watch much TV when I was little haha). So in the end I chose to go as a fairy-tale  character: Little Red Riding Hood! Here some photos taken on the night:

People made a real effort with their costumes which was so awesome! We had carebears, snow white, wilma flintstones, jem & the holograms, ariel & sebastian, minnie mouse and many more!  Such a fun night! Here is my Face Of The Night as Little Red Riding Hood:

Because I wanted to wear a shiny red lip, I decided on natural eye make up but then glamourised with big fluttery eye lashes! I used Ardell fake lashes, which I have only recently discovered. Their Babies Black lashes come as a set with their own little glue sachet. They feature an invisible, lightweight band that connects the hair strands to form a strip that ensures secure corners. They are knotted and feathered by hand, reusable, easy to apply, comfortable to wear and made of 100% human hair. I really liked the effect as it looked natural yet gave my eyes that extra little sexy spikey pop! These lashes are priced at £5.10. I would definitely recommend Ardell Lashes. Also they have a massive range of fake lashes; I can't wait to try some different styles! Ardell lashes are available from Boots nationwide (UK), at www.boots.com or check out Ardell's website for more information.
