Saturday in Belfast was monumentally shit weather wise. It literally rained ALL day.

So I fought back with bright lips and mega glam falsies. Foolproof

I love these huge Ardell false eyelashes, they make the best reusable imo.

The eyes were simple and all shadows were from the Urban Decay Naked Palette (a true MUST BUY). Half Baked on the inner part of the lid, Smog on the outer and a smidgen of Dark House in the crease. No crazy blending. Old Skool eyeshadow

Eyeliner is MAC’s Fluidline in Blacktrack. I honestly hadn’t used this in 6 months easy, and you know what I kinda love it again. So cool when that happens!

My base was Dior Forever (full coverage) set with MAC Prep & Prime Transparent Powder. No blush, just a touch of Topshop Bronzer under the back of the cheekbones. Fresh but glamorous with a real pin up influence.

OOTD consisted of G12 @Asda Leggings, a Primark smock top (practical long sleeves) and my black Tall Uggs (I offer no apologies for my footwear choice).

Jewellery was my gold fill sideways cross which I’d resigned myself to having lost, but it had actually fallen into the Misters knicker drawer! I paired it with the latest addition to my collection, a cute pearl & silver chain from Accessorize which can be doubled up. £8. Bargain.

Finally I added a pop of colour with a River Island scarf £14.99.

How could anyone not be feeling blue with the constant turd weather in the UK at the moment?

It feel like the sun hasn’t shone in forever, so I decided to bring a bit back using some funky yellow glitter & eye shadow.

I really like the result, has a rock chick edge to it. I’m a big fan of using bright colours on the lid, especially if you don’t take it into the crease. It makes it a bit cheeky and fun, when you have your eyes open you can barely see the colour, then glance down and BAM! it hits you. The Yellow is actually a MAC glitter and its amazing in real life, however I couldn’t quite capture the brilliance on my camera.

Its just for fun today but I would wear it if I was going out clubbing, sadly I was just doing a shop and the school run, decided it might be a bit much for the reserved folk in Ballyholme

Party season is upon us and its a rare chance to break out the glitter with a vengeance, plaster on the eyeliner, and generally teeter on the thin line (of taste) between glamourista/ strictly come dancing contestant/ drag queen!

I adore silvers and greys but I think they are really hard to wear, especially with my pale skin. Adding glitter to the mix is a must for me, and also a rosy blush, essential if I am to avoid looking like an ice queen.

Although I’m just wearing lip balm above, if I was wearing this look out on the works Christmas do etc I’d wear a bold red lipstick/ gloss with the obligatory falsies (thats lashes, not boobs).

I know its “apparently” a big no no to accentuate both eyes and lips in one look, but I think thats a very boring 21st century rule that I like to break whenever possible. Certainly there are times when playing one up against the other works better but Christmas is NOT that time.

Pump up the volume and glam it up!!!! xox
