Today I was back at work as usual. Then I had a meeting to run through some technical stuff with the 'These Guy's' crew. I spent the rest of the day sorting out my iTunes (I'm obsessed with organising it). It's really one of my favourite 'indoor' things to do, it makes me feel relaxed to know there's some sort of order to it. Probably a little crazy but keeps me happy so what's the harm?! I've been listening to a whole load of stuff whilst organising, mostly Lana Del Rey, From First To Last, Ed Sheeran, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia. It still completely blows my mind that Sonny Moore from From First To Last is Skrillex! I have no idea why, I supposed it was because he was one of my teen 'poster boys' and it's strange to think of bands that were predominant earlier in life becoming relevant later in life too. It's like you forget that musicians have a life, grow up and change as well as us.

Today was day 2 of my make up course, we focused more on eyes and colour for eyes. Was good and useful to learn some new techniques. I'm hoping that I do try to stick with new methods to jazz up my everyday make up, it gets boring doing the same thing every time! We also got a rather swish certificate. I'd love to do a longer course but sadly they're too expensive right now, especially since I've spent all that money on uni fees. Maybe in the future! But for now, I'm looking forward to practising my new skills on friends (read: victims) and being able to use them on my next film.

Song Of The Day: Nine Inch Nails - Right Where It Belongs
Reason: One of my fave songs of all time.

Today I've been at a make up course at the North West Media Make Up School. Today was day 1 of 2 and we learnt basic daytime looks, which included bases, contouring and light weight eye shadows (ie just a nice bit of eye shadow rather than going OTT with it). The PED is of my basic make up kit that I use myself on a daily basis (when I can be bothered!).

Here is my day to day make up kit (not all of it is shown):
Base:
Translucent loose powder, usually a cheap brand as I just tend to rub it off accidentally anyway. Plus I love making the most of my pale complexion rather than caking it in orange foundation. I use a big kabuki type brush to spread it evenly over my face and neck (slag lines are never a good look!).

Eyebrows:
Dark brown eye shadow, again a cheap brand as it seems silly to waste good eye shadow to fill in my eyebrows!

Cheeks:
Benefit 'Dallas' blusher gives me a bit of a glow without going OTT and stops me looking like I'm ill which would probably scare the customers at work.

Lips:
Generally nothing, it just rubs off but after today I may invest in a lip stain for special occasions.

Eyes:
I wear the most make up on my eyes. Generally I'll wear a liquid liner, usually Rimmel or Urban Decay, on my water line and/or along my lashline on my eyelid. If I'm going a bit heavier I'll use pencil underneath to dramatise it. Then I use Benefit eye cream in a nude shade all over my eyelid with a darker shade in the corners to widen my eye. Then I'll use loads of mascara as I quite like the slightly clumpy look. Currently I'm using Maybelline Cat Eyes mascara and Rimmel Max Curves mascara, usually I'll do a couple of coats of Cat Eyes followed by a couple of coats of Max Curves.

Extras:
If I'm doing a heavier eye look I'll use Benefits eye primer which gives a good base and makes it last quite well.  I'll also use eyelash curlers every couple of days as my eyelashes are so long and need maintaining.

Make Up Kit:


Song Of The Day: Avril Lavigne - Fall To Pieces
Reason: Love a good old love themed song every so often.

Just a quick one today of some cute cats I saw on a derelict building. Cuteness and abandoness two of my fave things.

Kitties:


Song Of The Day: Skrillex - Ruffneck
Reason: Was shocked to learn that Skrillex is Sonny Moore from From First To Last! Small world! Still not sure I can believe it since From First To Last used to be one of my favourite bands.

Today I went shopping in Liverpool. I bought a nice vintage bleach denim jacket and a confectionary thermometer which I'm hoping to use so that I can experiment making fudge, caramel etc!
We had lunch in Jamie's Italian and it was really good food. Me & my mum shared crispy squid for starters and then I had a prawn linguine and she had a seafood risotto and we shared some garlic chips. It was super food, especially the squid, good service, a nice layout and I would recommend going if you get the chance.

Well this is my 100th post! Whoo! And I'm still going with Photo Every Day!
It's been a funny week really and I'm glad it's the weekend, which looks like it will be busy and my little legs won't be able to recover from over working this week! I also need to get on top of house things such as finishing my endless stacks of washing and filling the fridge again!

And The Cupboard Was Bare:


























Song Of The Day: Caro Emerald - A Night Like This
Reason: It makes me think of old black and white films!

The washing machine is finally here!!! I've done about 4 washes since I came home from work and there's still another 3 at least to go! But I'm glad that it's finally sorted even though it was far too much faffing around when it should have been simple. Now to get Sky tv working...

Song Of The Day: Swedish House Mafia vs Knife Party - Antidote
Reason: Makes me want to dance!

Today we held another production meeting about 'These Guys'. We further discussed shot lists and work flow. It's really starting to come together visually now. Me and the boy also had pancakes as we didn't get a chance the day before. It took me ages to get a photo where the pancake was in the air!

Pancakes:


Song Of The Day: Rotersand - Exterminate Annihilate Destroy
Reason: Just love this song and the Dalek samples!
