A Smoky Birthday to Me

Yes, it's me with a smoky eye look...AGAIN. The smoky eye is my favorite eye makeup look of all time. Since yesterday was my birthday, I ended up with another one of my million smoky eye looks. Hehe... :D

I used my Too Faced Romantic Eye palette to achieve this look. The colors I used were Soulmates, I Do, Cut the Cake, and First Dance. I used I Do, which is a light, milky brown color, on the inner half of the lids. On the outer half, I dabbed on Cut the Cake, the frosty taupe shadow. I also dusty that same shadow to blend out the crease color, which is First Dance. To me, it looks quite like a blackened purple shade. Other than a crease color, I used it to define my bottom lash line as well. For the highlight, I dusted on Soulmates, the pearly vanilla color. For more drama, I tightlined my inner and upper lash line as well as the waterline with MAC's Technakohl liner in Graphblack. On my lashes, I swept on two coats of Voluminous False Lashes Waterproof by L'oreal.

On my face, I had on the bronzer part of ELF's Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder and blush in Mellow Mauve. I kick myself for not really remembering what lip colors I used other than the gloss. (Yeah, I probably might need to write it down for future reference. :P) What I used to gloss my lips is the lipgloss half of Michael Kors Very Hollywood roller ball Nancy sent me. :)

For a short summary of my birthday... It was one of the BEST birthdays I've ever had. I was very touched and happy with all the birthday greetings I've gotten. Everyone's thoughts and kind words are very well and highly appreciated. I was also very happy to have an awesome time with my boyfriend. We spent quality time with each other and had a yummy pasta dinner at CPK. I gave him his Christmas gift while he gave me my combo Christmas and birthday gift. I instantly enjoyed the Burberry perfume he gave me. I liked the unmentionables he gave me as well, but I won't be mentioning them. I just did a review on something similar. LOL.

I'm very thankful my birthday was indeed a happy one. I am hoping more happy ones will come in the following years. :)
