BURGUNDY SMOKY EYE

 

 

 

 

Hey Everyone,

I hate this kind of post as it makes me appear very narcissistic but it is just to do justice to the makeup. That being said, how are you all?

I've been wanting to use false eyelashes and a burgundy colour for quite a while and thought since I had some time today, I would try out a Burgundy Smoky Eye and show it to you :)

For this look, I used a KIKO Water eyeshadow in shade 203 Burgundy. It is a very nice colour that you can use wet as well as dry if you want to make the colour pop out a bit more. Those eyeshadows are really well pigmented and easy to use. I also purchased the 217 Mandarin  one as I have blue eyes and you probably know everything about the colour wheel thing. If not, I can do a proper post on that if you're interested!

I quite like this look as it is a tiny bit different than a normal Black Smoky Eye and looks just as gorgeous!

If anyone is interested, I am also wearing a KIKO Lavish Lips creamy lipgloss (05) which I will be reviewing soon.

I hope you like this look and maybe give it a try :)

As you may know, on thursday started the 60-days-until-Christmas Countdown. I wanted to share my little excitement and routine of Countdown before Christmas starting with the Christmas Movie Series :)

Yes, I love the silly and cheesy christmas films and every year when it gets really close to Christmas, I start a Christmas movie cure and try to watch as many great and cheesy films as possible to get into this Christmas atmosphere. This year, I will also try to start my christmas shopping ASAP for few reasons:

• It is always a nightmare to find things at the last minute because it is very crowded, you don't have time to think it through and rush everything which is never good.

• If you start now, it will FEEL like you've spent less when you actually spent A LOT but I quite like buying a lot of things and make people happy :) it just feels better when you don't spend that much money in a week or so but in 2 months!

• Also, you get time to pick things that you actually like and want to offer and won't feel all panicky when you're 4 days until Christmas and have literally nothing to give away.

The only bad thing is that you're dying to tell everyone what you got them and can't tell ANYTHING!

The last thing I want to do this year is having ACTUAL and proper Christmas decorations on. My parents never used to have anything else than a simple christmas tree and probably because I'm watching so many american films where they have so much things going on, I've always wanted my house to be a bit more Christmassy looking for this time of year! So I'll let you all know how all this is going.

Hope you have a marvellous weekend and I will speak to you later!

CHEERIO
