Hey lovelies,
Guess what! I quit my job! Some of you may know I've been on maternity leave for close to a year now and so the time had come to officially say goodbye. We're so happy and lucky to be in a position where I can be a full-time Mum to our boys (and a full-time beauty blogger too, heehee). I don't talk much about Mike, my fiance, here but he is an incredibly supportive and giving man and an awesome dad. I love him and our little family to bits.
What - you want less mush, more makeup? You betcha! Here are my FOTDs from the past two weeks.

If I look somewhat mad here, I am - I'm channeling my inner wicked sea witch for the PANZ It's A Kind Of Magic challenge. Kiwis, enter here and be in to win some beautiful Femme Fatale shadows + other prizes!
After I was finished being a sea witch, I toned it down a bit by changing my lip colour and pulling my hair back. I loved this eyeshadow look though! Those colours!

Have been loving the slight smokiness brown eyeliner on my waterline gives me. Not loving so much: my eyes going red as a result. Deal with my need for eyeliner, eyes!

Forgot how much I love accent lashes and consequently now want to buy them all. Wallet is mad now. Considering stacking these Ardell Accent #318s with the #110 lashes for my wedding. I need to do another makeup trial!

And a positively Christmassy look to finish things off! This was another favourite look of the week, I felt very cosy and as if I should have a mug of eggnog to warm me (because NZ hasn't cottoned on that it's summer yet!). Sidenote - can you even buy eggnog in New Zealand? Is the raw egg icky? So many questions.
