More pictures here
The stars of the show are these three products :
Urban Decay Matte Primer Potion - Eden
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty by Carmindy Instant Definition Eye Shadow Palette - The Storm
Urban Decay Sparkle Dust - Bobby Dazzle
1. Apply concealer all over your lids and under eye
2. Apply Eden primer on your lid.
Keep it just on the lid . It is very similar to MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre and provides an excellent base for a champagne / soft white look like this one.
3. With a flat brush lay the soft white shade from the Storm trio all over the lid.
4. Line the apply lash line with a black eyeliner pencil. Keep it as close to the lashes as possible.
5. Follow with the charcoal shade from the Storm trio along the line with a small shadow brush like Smashbox #20
6.Line the waterline with the same black pencil. I used Julie Hewett Hue Pencil - Black
7. Follow by smudging the charcoal shade along lower lash line.
8. Gently blend the charcoal shadow into the off white shade on the outer corner of the eye. Work with little shadow at a time and use a fluffy brush like Smashbox #10
9. Wet a flat eyeshadow brush, load it up with the Urban Decay Sparkle Dust - Bobby Dazzle and pat it over the center of the lid.
This adds some shimmer to the otherwise matte look and an incredible wet look that looks spectacular under indoor , artificial lights.
10. Do your brows ( I do this first always). Curl lashes, apply mascara and you're done !
For my lips , I went with a nude color Julie Hewett - Biba. This is the shade Mila Kunis was wearing in one of my absolute favorite look of hers - here

10 Amazing Things You Didn't Know About China
01. China executes three times as many people as the rest of the world
China carries out almost three times as many executions as the rest of the world put together, according to the most conservative estimate by Amnesty International. In 2008, the group confirmed 1,718 executions through news reports and public documents, but many others are not reported. Some analysts say the figure may be above 6,000. The exact number is a state secret. Many executions are done on the road using vehicles called the death vans designed by Jinguan Motors. The makers of these vans say the vehicles and injections are a civilized alternative to the firing squad, ending the life of the condemned more quickly, clinically and safely. According to them, the switch from gunshots to injections is a sign thatChina "promotes" human rights now. (Link 1 | Link 2) More ....after the break...
02. There are already more Christians in China than Italy, and it's on track to become the largest center of Christianity in the world
Due to the extremely rapid expansion of Christianity in China, there are now an estimated 54 million Christians in the country, comprised of about 40 million Protestants and 14 million Catholics. Meanwhile, Italy has just 60 million people in total, of which 79% are Christian these days, which means Italy has 47.4 million Christians, that's 12% less thanChina.

The Beijing Olympics was more than just a point of pride for China — it was such an important part of the national consciousness that over 4,000 children have been named for the event. Most of the 4,104 people with the name "Aoyun," meaningOlympics , were born around the year 2000, as Beijing was bidding to host the 2008 Summer Games. The vast majority of people named Aoyun are male. Names related to theOlympics don't just stop with "Olympics ." More than 4,000 Chinese share their names with the Beijing Games mascots, the "Five Friendlies." Chinese have increasingly turned to unique names as a way to express a child's individuality.

But with no new infections reported for over a week, authorities decided to lift the blockade on the remote town of 10,000 in a heavily ethnic Tibetan area.China experiences sporadic outbreaks of the plague, which is typically spread by rodents and fleas and can pass easily between people.

If current trends hold, China's urban population will expand from 572 million in 2005 to 926 million in 2025 and hit the one billion mark by 2030. In 20 years,China's cities will have added 350 million people—more than the entire population of the United States today. By 2025, China will have 219 cities with more than one million inhabitants—compared with 35 in Europe today—and 24 cities with more than five million people. Also, 40 billion square meters of floor space will be built - in five million buildings. 50,000 of these buildings could be skyscrapers - the equivalent of ten New York Cities. (Link)
