Mini NYX Haul

Hey everyone, I apologize for being behind on posts. As most of you may know, I was trying to get my graduate school applications in order but I finally submitted them last week so I should be able to get some more posts up. I made this purchase a few weeks ago but I was so busy
I haven't even taken them out of the bag until tonight. So i went into a beauty supply, just to "look" and ended up picking up 6 Jumbo Eye Pencils, 2 Jumbo Lip Pencils, and 2 Mega Shine Lip Glosses. Below you'll find the swatches on NC50 skin.

FOTD Navy blue smokey eye 10.08.2010

I went out to a comedy show with one of my friends about two weeks ago. I had a hard time picking out an outfit and a makeup look but I did know I wanted to use one of my NARS shadows because I haven't had the time to do any looks with them. After going through my closet about 12 times, I
 picked out a royal blue jacket, a black silk tank top, ripped black jeans, and some suede royal blue pumps. After I got dressed and did my hair, I had about 5 minutes left to do my makeup. Here is a few pics of the look I wore for the night:
