I may also start posting about makeup basics :) Eyes~ Nyx JEP in French Fries Sleek Storm Palette- See pic The usual e/l & mascara =) Face~ FOA Outback Primrose blush Physicians Formula Beige Glow Pearls Lips~ Nyx Spell Bound L/S   Ignore the numbers   I hadn't used these over french fries before so I really liked how it turned out! Thank you for looking

My Nightly Skin Care Routine

Image
I posted this when I first started, but my nightly skin care routine has changed soo much since then. I think I have found what finally works for me! I haven't broken out in sooo long *knocks on wood* except for some monthly ones. Also I have been using the same face wash & method for a few months now so I hope it holds out! I remove my eye & face makeup with Garnier Clean Detox Express Cleansing Wipes  Then wet face with warm water. I like to rinse a flannel under hot water (not too hot!) & push it to my skin, so it opens up the pores.  I have only just added this back in but now I massage the Dove Beauty Cream Bar in & wash it off. Onto my amazing face wash- Neutrogena Oil- Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Wash *phew* long name haha, I massage this one in after the beauty bar for a good 2-3 mins. I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a toner & moisturiser.. After I have dried my face I use a cotton bud to remove the rest of my eye makeup (stubborn eyeliner,...

Smokey Green + 88 Warm Palette Review

Image
Hey guys! Arghh I've been trying to stay out of this funk of not posting but I've been having trouble with my computer lately so Its been really gay, It's still not 100% better but I have to try to post sometime. In under 2 weeks now we leave for Phuket wooohoo cannot wait! Anyway here is a look I did a loong time ago but I never got around to posting it =/      Eyes~ Greens from the 88 Warm Palette NYX JEP Black Bean Face~ It was so long ago but I'm pretty sure it was ELF Fuchsia Fusion Blush Lips~ Nothing eek sorry about that Now onto the (quick) review: The 88 warm palette contains mostly neutral colours which are shimmery or matte. It consists of beautiful warm blues, greens, peach, gold, plum, brown, and quite a few highlighting colour's. I like the shimmery colours a lot more then the matte, I find the matte is very hard to go on, & the shimmery colours apply a lot more smoothly. Too bad most of the peachy shades are matte because I can't get them to g...

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...
