Taking it too far?

Ok I am all for a black smokey eye look...but I personally think this is taking it a bit too far!I know Taylor Momsen is a "rockstar" and all that, but I think her make up looks terrible here....Panda eyes anyone? ;)
What do you think?

"Supermodel in a bottle"

I recently purchased Benefit High Beam and am loving it!
Benefit claims: "Want to Benefit from the secret of make up artists? Listen up. High Beam creates that natural dewy glow that the catwalk boasts. It’s a soft pink sheen that creates a young, fresh complexion on all skin tones.
This supermodel in a bottle, otherwise known as High Beam, is one hush-hush that Benefit could not keep to themselves. Now that the soft focus, enticing and sexy sheen is here you’re just one step away from achieving super gorgeous status"

This is how I use High Beam:
♥ To start, using the brush applicator, I place some dots/stripes on my left & right temples. Then, I swipe a stripe down the bridge of my nose. Next, on each cheekbone, I draw three little dots on each cheek & I finish off with a small dot on my chin.
♥  I usually do all of this on top of foundation and powder as the last part of my face routine.
♥ To finish, I blend with my fingertips in an upward, outward motion until it's completely absorbed into my skin ensuring I can no longer see any visible lines or edges.
Additional uses:
♥ For an all over glow, you can mix a small amount of high beam with your moisturiser
♥ Apply as on brow bone as perfect brow highlighter
♥ Dab a little on the cupid’s bow of your lips for an even sexier pout 

The finished result:
Haha OK I don't think I can quite claim my supermodel status straight away because of High Beam but I still love the dewy glow this product gives me ;)

NOTD: Recycle

I finally decided to join in on the grey nail polish trend and got myself China Glaze in Recycle, which I find is a concrete grey colour. You definitely need to apply 2 coats of this colour to get a nice grey, one coat was too sheer. However, super smooth consistency and easy to apply. 
I wasn't quite sure how I was going to like this polish on me, but was pleasantly surprised! Think it's a great autumn/winter colour and made me feel very "rockstar" haha :) Do you have any grey polishes?
PS: YAY for it being Friday (wooooohoooo)
