Christmas, Christmas Parties and Japonesque Lashes!

So here it is (nearly), Merry Christmas! This will be my last post before I take a few days off for Christmas. So what better than to show you my outfit and make up for the Christmas party I went to last week.

Not having been out for 5 years I was really looking forward to it, and my husband's employers had got us a very plush suite, complete with our own Christmas tree so I was feeling really rather posh indeed as I lounged around during the day before party.
I decided to go all out after a quick Twitter consultation (thank you London Makeup Girl) and whip out the YSL Noir Terriblement Palette for a smoky eye, along with a nice subtle lip featuring a YSL Golden Lustre Lippie which I think is my favourite purchase this year.

I don't have the best photos of my make up and outfit as the room was a bit dingy but I decided it was time to try out my Japonesque Demi Flair lashes.

It's fair to say I'm completely useless at applying lashes but these attached relatively easily so I went with it! The only problem I had with them was that the glue was in a big lump like a jelly so it was a good job that for some reason I'd bought some extra glue with me! So anyway, here's how I looked for the evening.
The lashes and make up were fab and I was so pleased and had lots of compliments, they stayed on all night but I do have to say I felt quite self conscious!
 I also bought some fab Butler and Wilson jewellery but alas only one bit turned up on time for the party, I was so disappointed! Still I loved the bracelet and it complimented my outfit really well.
 The night itself was amazing...but I was far far too drunk, the 2am tequila slammer was a mistake...was so fab to have a night away from the kids though.

Here I am at before I started drinking with my lovely husband. x
So that was that, a great night was had by all, and my lashes managed to last the night.

So all that remains is for me to wish you all a very happy and wonderful Christmas. Thank you everyone for the support over the last year, I am very grateful for all the support and comments and see you all on the other side.

Loads and loads of love and festive kisses.

*Disclosure - Lashes were PR Samples*

    The bracelet is awesome isn't it. I also bought the earrings and ring. The earrings are exactly the same as the skulls on the bracelet and the ring is the same again only larger. It's gorgeous stuff!
