FOTN - Galapagos

Last night I went to have dinner with a girlfriend. We went Toscana's a wonderful Italian restaurant at Madinat Jumeirah. So delicious! Madinat Jumeirah is one of my favorite places in the city. It's a beautiful hotel, styled like an old Arabian souq. It's a gorgeous place to go on dates as well, because at night all the palm trees are lit up and it's almost like you're sitting under a giant candle!

Anyway..back to the beauty! I decided to go for a slightly sultry, darker look. I didn't want to go full on black, since we were only going out to dinner, so I chose to use my beloved Nars Galapagos shadow. This has been a favorite of mine for years now, it's a beautiful dark bronze with tiny flecks of gold glitter.

Oh, hello there, Random Strand Of Hair In The Middle Of My Face!  

Please excuse the frizz. That is the result of me running out of water during my shower and then having to make up for lost time by blowdrying my hair like a maniac (and yet, still running late!) 

I reacted a little to the foundations we used on the course and my skin had weird dry, peeling patches and so I decided to use my Stila foundation which is creamier than my Mac one. You can still see that my skin looks a little uneven and patchy, but I didn't want to use too much makeup.

Face:

Stila Oil free natural finish foundation - G

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit - Honey

NYX blush - Terracotta

Eyes: 

Urban Decay Primer Potion

NYX shadow - Highlight (all over lid)

Nars shadow - Galapagos (up to crease and lower lashes)

NYX shadow - Ray (crease and inner corners)

MAC Technikohl - Graph black

Maybelline Falsies mascara

Lips:

NYX lipgloss - Natural

So that's my look. I got home last night and tried my new Bioderma makeup remover and my eyes got really irritated. I woke up this morning and my eyes were totally bloodshot (not due to a hangover, I promise!) So I went to see my doctor and as soon as I took off my glasses he was like 'Oh, that's an infection!'. I somehow managed to get another eye infection! Apparently this is different from the one I had last time, and it could be caused by my contacts or the fact that I've started aqua aerobics and have been in the pool a lot lately. Either way, it's very uncomfortable :(
