Independence Day OOTD & FOTD | Beauty

Hey all! As promised here's what I wore on Independence day night. Final exams are around the corner so I was happy for the break before diving hard into the studying and exams.  Excuse the quality of the photos please, it was quite dark and I definitely need to look into a better camera for low light situations.

I was headed out to a games evening so my outfit was over the top, and I quite the make up simple too. I was really excited to wear my NYX studio eyeliner and I had been practising with it before because the applicator is a bit tedious and tricky. I did a thick cat-eye with it and left the rest of my eye bare of eyeshadows. For blush as in my everyday routine, I used the Smashbox cream blush in Capitvate, and I used the Garnier BB cream to even out my skin tone. For the lips, I used a KleanColor Mauve lipstick over NYX Natural lip liner.  My hair was just doing it's own thing, so don't even bother to ask about it, hahah. My dress was from Forever21 about a year ago, shoes are from Payless ShoeSource this summer (wear them to death cuz I love 'em!).

After the games evening some friends and I did go out for a few drinks afterwards in the Gap since we weren't feeling to go home so early (being it a Bank Holiday and all).  It was actually quite busy in the Gap (St. Lawrence Gap) and we luckily ended up in the Old Jamm Inn. It was pretty good and got better as time went too. It wasn't too stuffy or overcrowded. I loved the atmosphere, definitely a nice chilling spot. Hopefully we'll go back there after exams to party :)!
