Look-alike?

For years and years now people are always telling me...."Oh wow, do you know who you look like? That girl from American Beauty/American Pie!! What's her name again"....So OK apparently I look like Mena Suvari. Well as a laugh I thought  I would copy a look of an imagine I found of her online and ask you girls...
What do you think: Me & Mena, do we look-alike? :)

Make up used for this look was very simple! 

Eyes: Coastal Scents 26 Blush Combo Palette - coral e/s, NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk & Mascara 

Lips: MAC Plink! 

I'm interested to see your comments ;)

I'm having a super lazy & relaxing Friday night in tonight in my PJ's!

Sometimes I find there is nothing better than just blobbing out on a Friday night! (Loser much? haha)

Kim K Inspired Silver & Bronze FOTD >

A few months ago I discovered this great tutorial on Kim Kardashian's website by her makeup artist Mario. He shows you how to re-create a similar look he did on Kim for a photo shoot for VEGAS magazine (below)

Since then I have re-created this makeup several times & it's a look that has become one of my favourites! The mix of silver and bronze is just stunning. This look can be worn at day time or smoked up with darker browns and bronzes for night time.

In the tutorial Mario uses Urban Decay e/s in Vapor (silver), Urban Decay e/s in Chopper (bronze),  MAC e/s in Cork  (light brown) & MAC e/s in embark (dark brown).  Since I don't own these eyshadows I improvise with my own collection. You can do the same with any silver, bronze and light & dark brown eye shadows you own!
So here is my FOTD:

MAC Zoom Lash Mascara

Happy Friday!! :)

A pop of purple FOTD %

Decided to wear my new Augustine dress today. Such a gorgeous blue/purple-ish colour! Felt a teeny weeny dressed up for work, but hey it's Friday and that's un-officially "dress day" for me at work ;)

Curled my hair with my (beloved) GHD's and did a gold eye with POP of purple!  I mainly used my Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette for this FOTD. The palette has a great mix of bright & neutral colours which are all very pigmented! If you don't have one of these palette's I would definitely recommend getting it.
