Schmoking FOTN Pic Heavy + Nails

Image
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...

Summer Trend: Colour Blocking. Plus my very own vid!

Image
In almost every magazine I have read since the end of winter, Colour Blocking has had to be the biggest trend by far. Whether its in the form of clothing or accesories or makeup, the use of bold bright colours in block form is totally gorgeous! Here I was inspired by this look by this gorgeous blogger http://solomag.se/killercolours/2011/09/tutorial-contrasting-colours/ (please note she now has a new blog which is here) Ok so my look is more than inspired.. .I love the contrasting colours she chose so I wanted to keep them :) I think any colours would look good together, and it doesn't really matter if they clash or not! just a litte bit of editing.. haha Products: Milk JEP Red- 120 palette Orange- Madd Minerals Drop Dead Fred to blend red Blue- Madd Minerals in Mega Beast Maybelline Line Allure Eyeliner Nyx Peach for cheeks?

New hair + Ice Queen FOTD

Image
My hair was in desperate need of a colour, I liked the colour that I had before but I've had red in my hair for so long that I wanted to go more violet-y. & it still has some red in it so I like that :D These pics were taken the day after so I made sure that I slept on my hair nicely haha. & to go with my new hair I wanted to do a more "special" look so yet again I tried a cut crease look (again haha) which I thought I had better try to name. Products: Nyx Cream Cheese JEP 88 Warm Palette - Blue circle lid - Orange crease - Purple Crease/ Outer V - Green eyeliner Black Bean JEP as a base for the e/l ELF Peachy keen Nyx Summer Love [?] & a bonus picture of our beautiful cat Mishka since I don't think I've posted one since she was a baby, when she was grey with black tips. She lost all her grey & turned orange/brown & black but is getting more greys again, hehe. This is how she likes to sleep =) I was going to post a few looks into this one, but...
