Natural smokey eye using the new Urban Decay smokey eyes palette

I am so in love with the new urban decay smokey eyes palette :) its so perfect for creating every kind of smokey eye possible!!

To start with I decided to go for a natural smokey eye as its nice and easy to do and great for a day or evening look :)

1. Apply eye primer then buff combust into the crease line using a blending brush

2. Buff whiskey into the outer corner or the crease line and press into the outer corner of the lid using the smokey eye brush

3. Buff thirteen under the brow bone and into the inner corner then press high onto the lid using a shadow brush

4. Brush your brows and fill them in with whiskey

5. Apply some winged perversion eyeliner

6. Apply 2 coats of perversion mascara

Its as easy as that :) Here is a pic of me with the rest of my make up on and my gorgeous natural smokey eyes :)

Back to MAC

Its no secret that I LOVE MAC Cosmetics, I just think their lipsticks are to die for!!

Recently I have been hearing alot about the Back to MAC scheme so I thought I would give it a go.

Basically you return 6 empty Mac make-up containers and they will give you a free lipstick!! AMAZING!!

On the website MAC says:
"Because we share your commitment to the environment, M·A·C accepts returns of its primary packaging through the Back to M·A·C Program. By returning six [6] M·A·C primary packaging containers to a M·A·C counter, you will receive a free M·A·C Lipstick of your choice as our thanks to you. Since 100% of the retail selling proceeds of Viva Glam Lipstick is provided to organizations that help people living with HIV/AIDS, these colours are excluded from this program.

In countries where it is permissible, the returned packaging is forwarded to appropriate waste management centres to recycle/reuse through energy recovery. M·A·C will continue to explore alternative means of waste disposal in all markets."

So here is what I took back.

I was in Aberdeen for the day so I went to the MAC store there, the artist that helped me was so friendly and was telling me how great back to MAC is and about the containers being recycled!! 

I decided to go for Velvet Teddy as clients have been asking if I have it and i just looks so gorgeous on.

Here I am wearing it!!! Its so different from my normal every day purple lipstick but I am really loving it, the texture is amazing and it feels so good on. Its nice to have a bit of a change.

I couldn't help myself, had to pick up a few other colours aswell :D

Have you ever heard of or tried back to MAC before? Why not give it a go!!!
