Summer/ Spring fresh colours + current nails

Image
Oh man I wish I had a name idea before I start doing my makeup, but as I choose the colours as I was doing it, it makes it harder to come up with names. Onto the makeup.. I was not so happy with the crease but ya get that. I wanted to something bit brighter then lately but still simple at the same time, so I kept the lower lash line free of colour (except for a tiny bit that I didn't mean to get there haha). Products: Madd Minerals E/S in Snot Face (lol) for the 1st half of the lid, the rest of the colours are from the 120 palette. Liner is Nyx Black Bean Jumbo pencil as always Cheeks I *think* is Nyx Peach, & damn I wish I could remember what I used on the lips (I'm going to make it mandatory to take pics so I remember goddamn it!). For that extra glow I'm pretty sure I used Mac's Strobe Cream (but its whatever works for you!) Thanks for looking at this boring, predictable post!! ahah x x oopsies almost forgot to include pics of my nails Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in...

How to: Cream Contouring & Highlighing

Image
I like to do contour & highlight for a put together look especially for a night out & it adds a lot of dimension to your face, especially since I feel like I have no cheekbones. I used to only do it with powders but I find that doing it with cream concealers that are a few shades darker/ lighter than your skin tone help it look more polished plus you can still set it with the powders on top. I like this coastal scents palette for this as it has some shades that I would never use except for in a kit. This is brand new as you can see but I'm still finishing my old one haha. I'm only going to contour my nose & cheeks but here is an in depth chart if you want to go all out, however I would advice to stick to the face unless your in a photoshoot haha. Contouring: Make sure you've applied your foundation with no powder first. I've applied the cream to my cheeks & nose using a concealer brush. Ignore that it's not completely even haha. I've only done th...

Aussie Pride... Nail art on my toes :)

Image
I'm getting all prepared for Australia Day, which is on the 26th this month. I can't wait to spend all day in the pool and have a barbie & a few drinks! hehe. I know there's a few aussie's on here, but for those who are not, Australia Day is usually spend by going to the beach, having a bbq or meat pies, playing backyard or beach cricket & drinking! haha. Anyhoo, I was mucking around with my nail polish & thought heyy why not copy the flag onto my toe nails! haha, its much easier than doing it on my finger nails :P Beware if you do not like to look at toes up close. Sorry that it looks quite messy, it looks a lot better from a distance for sure. No Flash Products: The Rubi nail polish (base colour) is quite cheap & nasty, I purchased it from Cotton On but its the only colour like that I have, The red is Nicole By O.P.I OMB (Justin Bieber collection), the white & blue sparkle nail polishs are both from Phuket & the Sally Hansen X-treme wear in cle...

Wedding makeup

As a guest, not to my own wedding haha, I just couldn't think of any other title :)Was a good afternoon/ night, got a little merry with the champagne :) In case you're wondering, this is my 'getting ready' shirt haha I'm sorry that its hard to see the makeup, I didn't have much time for close up shots! Before I let my hair out.. I curled it with a small curling iron & pinned it to my head.. it took forever to get the pins out! haha. Also I like this pic coz it shows my contouring :) Products Sleek Storm palette.... darkest pink ; applied wet on the lid.  Light pink from the same palette in the crease along with some gold e/s. A little bit of Satin Taupe in the outer crease.   Nyx JEP in Slate on the outer corner, with a black e/s over the top. Black Bean JEP for eyeliner, mascara & a few single false lashes.

All that glitters: Fancy dress for New Years Eve

Image
I hope everyone had a fun & safe new years!! Where I am we don't get fireworks, but we had a spectacular lightning show! (it was fine that day until the arvo, how typical). So my new years attire was a bit different from normal as we attended a dress up party haha, and we were going to change before we went out but decided not to. Although we got a fair few comments while we were out lol!  With my makeup I basically copied this look here (not that it got much love) Ah wells. Of course I had to add glitter to make it new years eve-y & I paired it with a red lipstick for my costume- If you can guess who I am!! If you can't guess it, shame on you! I'm Snow White :D  Haha I had quite a few people asking where my 7 dwarfs were.  Products: Eyes : Stila Kitten Black Bean JEP Nyx Gold Glitter Black E/S BYS False Eyelashes I also used a few individual eyelashes on my lower lash line.
