Beauty - But I'm A Creep, I'm A Weirdo

Hi lovlies!

I was very happy on Christmas morning when I unwrapped my very own Urban Decay Naked Palette, even more impressed that my boyfriend Adam had remembered my lustful looks everytime I seen it!


I have not had much chance to have a proper play around with all the shades yet but im sure I will do very soon. I have been using the two darker shades, creep and gunmetal, a lot more than I thought I ever would.  I thought Id show you one of the looks I have creating again and again using these shades.



I have been using the Urban Decay Primer Potion to prime my eyelid before applying the lightest shade in the palette, Virgin, all over the eye lid and socket.  I just go a bit mad with Gunmetal to be honest appliying to the lid only and blending until I get a softer finish.  Then I add Creep to the crease and blend like crazy until no line between the shades is visable.  In true Gemma Button style I added lots and lots of mascara to give my lashes some ooomff and some black pencil eyeliner to my waterline.



What is your favourite palette to use when creating a smokey eye look?

Lots of Love

Hi hunni's
 
I wanted to share with you what I was wearing to kick off 2013.  I felt really comfortable wearing this outfit and enjoyed dressing up a simple outfit with accessories. This whole outfit was also completely new and I always feel really good wearing something new. You may notice a couple of things from my What I got for Christmas post too.
 
For New Years Eve Adam and myself went up to the local social club with his family, it was a good night, couple of live singers, disco, fireworks and plenty of drinks.  I do not enjoy going out in town for New Years Eve as I think you always end up missing the clock strike 12 and I prefer to be with the people I love and care about, might sound like a right granny to some people but thats just me.
