Outfit and face of the evening: Wicked & Don Giovannis

Sunday, October 27, 2013
Yesterday myself, my sister, mum and a couple of friends went to Don Giovannis on Oxford street in Manchester and then we went to Wicked the musical which is currently playing at the Manchester Palace Theatre. Here is a quick fote (face of the evening), oote (outfit of the evening) and a mini review of the restaurant and Wicked. Firstly here is my makeup and outfit of the evening!




Firstly, my makeup - I used my new favourite foundation, the Max Factor Smooth Effect foundation in the shade 40 Porcelain and I freakin' love it! I am definitely writing a review of this foundation soon. I then used another new buy, the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in the shade Ivory which I like but I don't think it is amazing. I applied the Nars Pro Prime then a couple of the nude shades from the S&G Whats Nude Quad. For eyeliner, I used the Clinique Brush on Liner in Black which I have had for years and it is just as good as the day I bought it. To set the liner, I use a black shade. I filled in my brows with the matte brown and black from the Sleek Oh So Special Palette. The mascara I used is the Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Waterproof. For lips I use the Kiko lip liner in the shade 404 and the Revlon Balm Stain in Honey over the top which gives a gorgeous peachy pink lip. 

For my outfit - tank top: Forever 21, Cardigan: H&M, Jacket: Promod, Jeans: Asos and Boots: Newlook. I also used the Bumble and Bumble thickening creme contour in my hair and I wore the gorgeous Molecule one perfume - I can still smell it! Oh and I had on my Kurt Geiger bella ring (I think it is called the bella ring but it is gunmetal and I love it!). I also used the babylis big hair to shape the ends of my hair.
We have never been to Don Giovannis before, it is an Italian restaurant and bar on Oxford street, Manchester. The decor from the outside is gorgeous, lit up with fairy lights and inside is just as nice. I had a mushroom risotto which was nice but we did have to hurry as we were running a bit late for Wicked. Overall, the restaurant was nice although it was very busy and a bit loud. 

Now, Wicked! The story line is about the good witch Glinda and and wicked witch of the west, Elphaba. It is about their friendship and how they became who they are in the Wizard of Oz. I loved the stage set up, the set was amazing. The singing, costumes and story was fantastic. In my opinion, there were a couple of boring bits but they didn't last long such as practically most scenes with the wonderful wizard of Oz in. Overall, it is a great story and definitely worth seeing - although I probably wouldn't take children to see it. 

Makeup Collection: Liner & Mascara!

Wednesday, June 05, 2013
Here is the final part of my makeup collection (I think) and it is my mascaras, cream eyeshadow sticks, brow products and eyeliners (gel, liquid, kohl and pencil). Enjoy!
Mascara: My mascara collection is not very big as I don't wear it all of the time and I only buy waterproof mascara if I can. Although my favourite mascara is not waterproof, it is the Yves rocher sexy plump mascara which I adore! If I could only ever have one mascara it would be that beauty! I also have the Clinique High Impact Waterproof mascara which I do not like (and I haven't had it for very long, for me anyway, and the writing it nearly completely worn off). 

Eyeshadow sticks: I have a few eyeshadow stick type products as I like the efficiency of them but they can crease on me very quickly. But I do love the Kiko long lasting stick eyeshadow and the Laura mercier caviar stick (LOVE). But there are one that crease badly on me such as the Barry M eyeshadow pencil. 

Pencil liners: I have quite a lot of eyeliners, I don't know why I keep buying them! My favourite eyeliners include: Illamasqua fat pencil in the shade Fickle - it is gorgeous on the lower lash line. I also love the Rimmel scandaleyes pencil in the shade Taupe which is also gorgeous on the lash lines to define the eyes naturally. I also like the Eyeko, Urban Decay and Dior liners too. Also I find the Pixi liners to be amazing, especially the pigmentation and creaminess.  

Eyeliners: I have a couple of gel liners, including the clinique brush on cream liner and that one has to be my favourite - I have had it for longer than I probably should and it has not dried out! Love it. In terms of liquid liner I did really like the Max Factor glide and define liner but it has run out. I do like the ELF liquid liners though and they are super cheap. 

Brow products: I love to define my brows and I have a few brow pencils and gels. I love the Tweezerman browmousse but it ran out a while ago and I love been trying out alternatives as the Tweezerman one is around £10. The Gosh brow gel is quite good. As for pencils, I love the MAC brow pencil in the shade 'lingering' for my dark brown ashy brows and I also like the Gosh brow pen/marker too. 

That is the final part of my makeup collection, there have been a few new additions since I published these blog posts (oops!). To see the other makeup collection blog posts just use the search bar on the right hand side of the page! x
