TEXTURE+COLOURGALORE

What's a girl to do when presented with a fresh new canvas in the form of this body-hugging little black dress? That's the question I asked myself when I was contacted by AKIRA Online to participate in a little blogger contest. Whoever wears it best gets a gift certificate to their online shop, and so I was more than eager to try my hand at styling this fab dress.

Add a splashy printed jacket, some glittery tights, my favourite new furry hat and I'm ready to go! Wish me luck, lovers;)

...I didn't say banana?

But speaking of bananas...I am going bananas over school! Well, life in general actually. Balancing homework, this blog, my dearly annoying friends and "working out" is so exhausting! Gee, can't wait for university...

Decorations? Check. Gift shopping? Check. Perfect party dress? Check! Party makeup...uh....what am I going to do for makeup?!

This was my exact train of thought up until about a week ago. I had everything ready to go for the holidays, except for that perfect holiday makeup.

That is until I went to a Revlon warehouse store-type thing (yeah sketchy, I know) and found the a rather odd shade of lippy (Va va violet if you're wondering). I mean, it's a great colour, but it was weird in a sense that I've never seen this shade in stores before and it's not even on the Revlon website!

That aside, the super deep plum fascinated me and I bought it anyway, yet without a purpose. Upon arriving home, I got a gut feeling that caused me to run to my closet, take one look at my sequined dress, and freak out. The lippy was perfect for it!

I then got over-zealous and whipped out the gold eyeshadow, which I then piled on with a wet brush. The result? My definition of perfect holiday makeup.
