New Years Shoes; Which ones to wear?

Image
So for New Years I'm going to a dress up party. My costume is all sorted but I will need to get changed to go out to the pub afterwards. I present y'all with 2 shoes to pick for me :) haha & the pros and cons :P Plz ignore my feet & shoes ha I took these straight after a stinkin hot day at work so ignore them but dont ignore the shoes!  Glittery Gold Peep Toe Pumps - Pros : Comfortable on the soles of my feet -Totes appropriate for new years! -So damn pretty haha Cons : Glitter will fall off! Do not want. (I have been spraying with hair spray however-  & I'm thinkin that its working.) -Kinda uncomfortable around the heel where it rubs on my feet- may need bandaids -toes will hurt after a while Black Suede Wedges with Ankle Strap (its ok that the sides pop out) - Pros: Wedges are super comfy to wear all night without hurting your feet. -I love these ones too! ha -Easier to walk in without worrying about tripping Cons: Ankle strap may get annoying (they are on s...

Futuristic Cut Crease?

Image
Woohoo I can finally honestly say I was happy with how this look turned out! I would definitely do this look again for clubbing or maybe even new years, I would probably add some glitter & it would be good to go. Also I think it this goes with any outfit. So I was inspired by this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fq-lEu73GI&feature=channel_video_title, & I thought it would be harder to get my eyes even but I got it fairly quickly. It doesn't matter if it is not perfect anyway because as they say "eye's are sisters not twins." Eyes: Lid: Stila Kitten. Also a tiny bit on the middle of the lower lash line (lll) The lightest colour from Barbie Crease: Nyx JEP Black Bean with an angled eyeliner brush and on the lll. Black from 28 palette blended with a pencil brush over top of Black Bean. A little bit of the black from the same Stila palette on the lll. Maybelline Eye Allure Eyeliner. CG Lash Blast Fusion Japanese Eyelashes. Cheeks: I think a tiny bit...

Christmas Look

Image
To be honest, I wish I was more excited about Christmas. I guess it's not the same when your all growned up :( haha :P So I did this look inspired by this blogger here . Mine wasn't meant to be christmassy but I decided that it can be since I haven't done a festive look yet. However It's a copy more than an inspiration because I didn't want to change a thing.& I got compliments at work so I was happy with that :) Ugh I could go into many things I want to improve, like mainly the eyeliner. I didn't mean to make the gold so thick & as it came out I didn't clean my brush enough so it mixed into the black but ohwells.   I also didn't want the yellow to be too outrageous so I added just a hint of it, & I wish I blended right to the eyeliner so it looked cleaner. a tiny bit edited   And most importantly, the inspiration pic Haha that's enough of me picking out everything, here's what I used Eyes: TFSI NYX Milk JEP 120 palette: see picture...

Battle of the Eyelash Curlers

Image
In this haul post here you will see that I finally bought a new eyelash curler. I had my old one for a couple of years now & it was time for a new one since I never really liked that one haha. It dug into the corner of my eyes, leaving marks in my eyeshadow that I had to fix. Soo annoying haha. I wanted to do a quick review/ comparison of them both which I hope will be helpful to somebody, even if they are random brands haha. L-R: Models Prefer, Elite Professional. The one on the left is my new one & the one on the left is (obviously, ha) my old eyelash curler. You can see that the MP is longer but not as chunky, which I think would be better to fit in a smaller makeup bag since it wouldn't take up as much room, if you get what I mean. Sorry for the Elite one for being so gross! I had replaced the pads on it a little while ago after I finally found some hiding, so before that it was even worse. Can you see how the EP one is more curved & shorter on the curler part than...

Schmoking FOTN Pic Heavy + Nails

The other night I wanted to do something dramatic & smokey for going out for my mans work christmas dinner & then to hit the nighty afterwards. Of course I wanted to use this Bourjois eyehshadow which for some reason looks green... maybe it is because I don't think its quite black... hahah. It doesn't look green in swatches but maybe the JEP changed the colour of it.  Products: TFSI Nyx Black Bean JEP Bourjois Eyeshadow No.4 Fyrianne Immortality glitter ( tiny bit on center of lid for dimension) over the top of Pixie Epoxy Mac Satin Taupe in the crease ( Over the top of a brown I had for during the day) White from the 28 palette over the top of Nyx JEP Milk (also used on waterline) Nyx White pearl for highlight Omigosh I have no idea what I wore on the cheeks :/ Luckily I don't have too much of a range maybe it was Nyx Peach *edit* I think it was bourjois rose blush 34 but it looks too peachy here haha ohwell Lips are Nyx Sugar Pie lipgloss on it's own I would ...

Move over Bio Oil...

Image
..Because i've moved on to Rose Hip Oil. I know I know, its old news, & I'm sure many of you have heard of or even use it, but I had been using Bio Oil for quite some time, so when I ran out of my 2nd bottle I wanted to try something different. I'm loving it & just wanted to share my thoughts on it. As you probably know, my skin is dry/dehydrated with scars. When I wash my skin it can feel tight & gross but when I apply this, it feels greasy at first but as it sinks in it feels lovely. If you have oily skin it may feel too greasy so don't go overboard. I have been using this for about 4 weeks & can notice an improvement with the leftover scars from my peel & the texture of my skin feels nicer. You can also use it on your body if you want to. I only use it in the morning before moisturizing but you can use it day & night, especially if you have bad scarring. & you will want to apply it some time before doing your makeup so it would have sunk i...

Go insane, throw some glitter make it rain

Image
I couldn't help the title lol, a couple of weeks ago we went to a festival that had bands & DJ's including Avicii, LMFAO (my fave! they were awesome haha), Bloody Beetroots, Pnau & many more. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do my makeup but I wanted it to be more festival-like so at the last minute I threw in some glitter & felt like Ke$ha haha. Too bad it kinda looks like dirt from afar. I actually had a spray tan done a few days before, I will post those FOTDS later but here it is quite natural, just the way I like it. that stray eyebrow hair will be the death of me ahah  Products: Eyes: UD Sin, buck, naked MAC Satin Taupe Nyx White Pearl Black Bean JEP as a base for the glitter e/l which was NYX disco glitter e/l a lil bit of UD Half Baked on the lower lash line Ebay falsies cut in half on the outer corner of the eyes Fyrianne Pixy Epoxy as a base of the glitter NYX glitter in silver, hot pink & gold Cheeks: Nyx taupe blush for contouring Nyx Peach blush L...

Makeup & Hair Essentials Haul + more :)

Image
When going to Perth for a weekend, one thing is guaranteed: Shopping! Since I don't get to do it too often I take advantage, and it had been a good 6 months since we last went up haha. I have named this my makeup essential haul since most of the makeup i bought is what I call "practical"- no fun eyeshadow's & lipsticks, but things I need. haha if you get what I mean. I got all of this from Priceline. They have a huge section of this makeup brand called Models Prefer & I liked the look of their stuff & tested it a bit. Its reasonably priced too. 1: Models Prefer eyelash curler . I needed a new one badly, my other one didn't seem to fit the shape of my eye properly but this does. Review to come soon. I think I may just chuck all of the same brand into one big review lol. 2: Models Prefer brush cleaner . I've needed one of these for a very long time too. Unfortunately, when I got home I found the bottle didn't squirt properly :( So I have to open...
