Yes, this post is late, and yes, New Year's Eve is long gone, but I've been too busy and too lazy to put it together until now! :) It took me over 1.5 hours to accomplish this smoky eye look, and of course, my hair being so wavy took me over an hour to straighten. The majority of eye shadow is actually samples I've received from La Coquette Cosmetics. The quality is quite good, but the dark shadow needed quite a bit of shadow poxy / primer. Overall, I was quite happy with the result. The smoky eye look lasted for many hours, and took some 15-20 minutes to remove the makeup using the delicate eye remover Lancome Bi-Facil.

Yesterday I have created something that is more of an 80's look—bold lip and winged-out eyes!

Back in July I entered a Makeuptalk.com contest giving away a set of 23 OCC Lip Tars, and shockingly, I won! What? That is incredible. I have never won anything before. How exciting!

The little guys arrived a few weeks ago. Take a look!
