Here’s the make-up I wore with my New Year’s Eve outfit. Purple is my favourite colour and I’ve missed wearing purple eyeshadow. And as much as I love red lipstick, it was fun wearing something different after a month (and a half) of wearing almost only red lipstick.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is one of my favourite red eye looks I’ve ever done (if not my actual favourite). The particular shades and the quality of the shadows are just stunning!

I have a Lyko haul to share with you today. It includes some Christmas and New Year’s inspired products from Essence and Catrice, so I thought I would post this haul before New Year’s.

I picked up three products from the Essence Merry X-Mas, My Deer! collection; the liquid blush in 01 Hey Deer, the Jumbo eyelighting crayon in 01 Let It Glow, My Deer!, and the Glossy lip balm in 01 Oh Deer. Sadly, the Jumbo eyelighting crayon came broken twice, but I’ll see if I can still use it. The lip balm I bought for the packaging, because it’s super cute.

Catrice came out with a New Year’s inspired collection called About Tonight, and I purchased three out of four metallic eyeshadows. They’re in the shades C02 Gintastic, C03 Shaken Not Stirred, and C04 Martini Please.

I also picked up the two metallic lipsticks from the collection, and they’re called C01 Kiss Me At Midnight and C02 A Night To Remember. I’m excited to see how opaque they are.

Lastly, I bought three Burt’s Bees lip balms. I haven’t tried this brand before, but the scents sounded nice. I got a set of two including Beeswax and Vanilla Bean, and then I also got the Pink Grapefruit one.
