Small Big W Haul + Winter Boots

Image
If you're unaware of what Big W is, it is a store in Aus much like K-mart, Target etc. Anyway we went up to the city the other day & pretty much the only shop we had time to go to was Big W. Since Winter is approaching over here for me, I was inspired by Aria @ Make-me up   to go on a boot hunt. Originally I found a pair I liked from the shoe shed but I found these & couldn't justify spending $70 instead of only $30! I also preferred to buy boots in the store so I could try them on and then if they didn't fit I'd have to send them back blah blah all that mucking around so I found these & I quite liked them I also had time to have a quick look at the cosmetics, & lucky for me there were quite a few specials so I got this Rimmel Lipstick (My first Rimmel item =)) & CG Lipstain (Which I had wanted for agess & since it was about $6 cheaper I had to get it) & Also 2 FOA items- Impact-full Volumising Mascara & Blush in Outback Primrose. not the...

Have a problem of cosmetics drying out??? See wat you can do to revive ur makeup.

Image
When u have a lot of makeup or when u dont use makeup too much, often it happens that when u take out some product from ur collection which had been ignored for a while, its dried out! And I know for people like me who love every bit of their collection its really hard to say good bye to any makeup products. So today I thought i'll give away  some tips on how to save some of your makeup items from dieing out on you. Lipstick & Lipliners: So the lipsticks are the first products to dry up and when u try to apply them they drag on the lips and give a very patchy application. I tried many things but found out that the most effective is that before applying a dry lipstick or lipliner apply some vaseline or lip balm to ur lips it will give a smoother application and just blend in with ur finger. Gel Eyeliners & Eye Pencils: I have not been able to find a good way to revive a liquid eyeliner cuz it wudnt be safe to apply on ur lids because of the risk of eye infections or irritati...

Smokey Pink 2.0 + Tutorial

Image
Ages ago I did a smokey pink look & I wanted to recreate it to make it look a bit more dramatic... even though I don't think it's that much more dramatic I liked how it turned out & I thought, why not make a tutorial again. So Yeah... :)  1. Apply your eye primer. I used TFSI . I also put some tape on the outer corner. 2.Apply your colour base all over the lid. I used NYX JEP in Milk + Slate. Blend out. 3. Apply your pink all over the lid. I actually didn't mean to cover the slate part =/ so if you want it more intense only apply over the milk 4.Apply your chosen darker shade to the outer lid, patting it on outwards & diagonally. Blend with the pink as you go. 5. Apply more if needed & blend into the crease. 6. Remove the tape, Apply pink to the lower lash line & the gray into the outer corner, sweeping it up to get rid of the harsh line from the tape. 7. Add some black into the outer v to darken it up 8. Add your eyeliner & tightline  9. Highlight, ...
