Im officially a MOH

So today was my girl Anne's engagement party...it was honestly so beautiful, she and her fiance looked gorgeous and it was just a great time with great food overall! I dont know if you can tell, but her hair was done in a faux hawk sort of style from the back...her sister is a hairdresser and does some amazing work! It was also announced that I was her Maid of Honour (hence the title....MOH..haha) and my bf is her fiances best man...yea we are sort of a clan...like a mini-family...lol....She might put in extensions for me just because I have grad photos coming up and im impatient to wait for my hair to grow out on its own....I wore the purple dress which I shortened, with black tights, cardi and a leopard waist belt...I also got to try out the new brushes and took a shot so you can see the final results after applying the shadow (oh and of course, I used the Urban Decay primer ;)....the brushes made a huge difference...I used a medium brown matte eyeshadow as a base, black near the lashes and smudged up along with a bluish grey at the crease and a nude color to highlight the brow bone....I was happy with the results =)
Well....hope you all had a fantastic weekend...Im off to tackle a couple more exams :s

Extensions...

I wear clip in extensions... I suggest them because they do not harm your hair, what so ever, and no one can tell. If her sister is a hair dresser, then she will be able to go to the licensee only hair stores where they sell them. I got mine for $70. You can have them cut and they are real hair, so you can style how ever you like.
