FOTD cinema night!

Tonight, me and my lover-ly housemates went to the cinema. In Birmingham, where we all live during term-time, there is the kitschest little cinema at the back of New Street Station called The Electric Cinema, which was the first screen in Britain! It still has alot of the original fixtures, and you can opt to sit on huuuge comfy sofas at the back (for an extra fee....some day on a special occasion maybe haha!). You can also take drinks in from the full bar, which, being students, we naturally took advantage of (red wine daaahlings, I'm not that much of a hooligan).
We had some 2-4-1 vouchers, so it only cost us a couple of quid each to see True Grit, which, I have GOT to say was absolutely fantastic - what a stunning motion picture, and such dry humour! I really cannot praise it enough, and it may end up one of my favie films of all time alongside Monsters Inc, Back to the Future and Uncle Buck hahaaa! No wonder its nominated for so many oscars!
SO! On to my FOTD. I'd just been shuffling round the flat all day doing bits of work here and there, so i started my makeup from scratch. Obviously we were only going to the cinema, so I wanted a casual look, but suitable for the night-time as we planned to visit a couple of bars after the (FANTASTIC) movie. I left my hair naturally dried an unstraightened.

In case you were curious as to the products i used, and a bit of techy talk, I started with a base of Rimmel "Stay Matte" Foundation in Ivory (100), sweeping over it lightly with Rimmel Clear Complexion Translucent powder. I then highlighted my cheekbones with Benefit's Blusher in Coralista (actually one of my prize possessions!)
For my eyes I used Benefit's Erase Paste in Medium to hide those nasty black circles, then used a No.7 eye palette on my lids. I got this for Christmas and the outer packaging has the colour info on it - i dont know the shades as of yet, but I will get my Sherlock Holmes Google Skillz out and find out for you should you like to know! :D I used the light, shimmery cream colour on my inner lid, graduating to the chocolatey shimmer, sweeping it outwards, and under the eye to create a soft smokey effect. I then used Rimmels Liquid Eyeliner in Black to line the upper lid from halfway along,  and made a small flick. I added some of Max Factor's False Lash Effect in Brown/Black and some of Topshop's Lip Polish in Iced Coffee and then I was ready to go and sit in the dark for 2 hours....lol.
Here is that troublesome No.7 palette and the eyes on their own:-

Here's a close, side-view of the smokey eye, you can see the liquid liner detail more clearly:-

 ...and here's the finished product! I look really stroppy and unimpressed - there were better photos of me, but none that quite showed the colours as accurately, especially of the lovely, corally blusher. Oh the sacrifices I will make for accurate swatches!

Just...want...to.....poke...through...laptop screen and move that strand! flkhjlhjtlkt!!!!

I know my hair is in the way of my right eye...you know when you really wish you were Mary Poppins so you could reach into the photo and just sweep that annoying bit of hair out of the way?!?!?! oOoO so frustrating!
