FOTD: A 3 minute smokey eye

Popped into Selfridges after work today to have a mooch around MAC. Whilst I was queuing for assistance, I watched a lady spend 10 minutes applying as many things as she could get her hands on. Including the tester lip gloss, straight from the wand to her lips. So GROSS! How many people have also used it before her?!

I didn't walk away with a lipstick for once but bought Teddy kohl pencil, a gorgeous dark bronzey brown with gold shimmer. Flash washes the colour out so I'll put up a swatch another day.

I was meeting the Mr for dinner and only had mascara on so I used this to create a quick smokey eye. I applied Teddy all over the lid and blended, then smudged a black eyeliner along the lash line and outer corner. Finished off with Teddy on the lower lash line and black eyeliner on my waterline. Didn't use any brushes at all, just my ring finger. Quick and really easy! By the time I got home, it had creased and faded a little but I didn't mind so much :)

Some retail therapy

Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel low and "meh" for no reason? Well I do, and yesterday was one of them. So after work, I hit Superdrug to see if a bit of retail therapy could sort me out.

- For some strange reason I bought these pre cut eyebrow shapers, which are essentially waxing strips. I haven't dared to open these yet as I have a wedding to go to this weekend and don't want to risk my eyebrows!

- Picked up some cheap-ish (£3.49)lashes to practice with for the aforementioned wedding. However I suspect my attempts will be full of fail....

- All Aussie products are 2 for £6 at the mo, so I bought some much needed heat protection spray and the legendary 3 minute miracle intensive conditioner.

- I keep reading good things about L'Oreal's Super Line and as I am so easily led, I bought it despite having about 100 black eyeliners already.

Have you tried any of these products? I'm looking forward to pampering myself later which I hope will cheer me up. If not, there's always chocolate...... xx

p.s. I seem to have lost my blogging mojo :( Hopefully it will come back soon!
