 So a few weeks ago I was contacted by someone from Makeup Geek (MUG) asking if I wanted to try some eye shadows for a review. Of course I said yes!! I had already bought 3 eye shadows myself and was planning to buy more soon anyway. Let me start with the service.... Shipping was fast and they were quick to reply. Although there was a mishap with shipping; they accidentally sent me 6 of the wrong colours, so I messaged them to let them know & they said I could keep them as it wasn't my mistake. I would have felt happy to return them though especially if it was somebody's order!  Please read on for the review & swatches. What the pans come in, Picture from the Makeup Geek Website. Disclaimer: I did not pay for these eyeshadows (except for the 3 mentioned) and all thoughts & opinions are 100% my own. I want to apologize with the inconsistency with the lighting in the photos! Some of the lighting has been enhanced but the colours have not.  I am happy that I selecte...

Muted greens are oh-so pretty for spring. Although it's past that now, especially that I'm in winter. I suppose that's where the grays come in handy, haha. I don't believe in restricting certain looks for certain times of the year, especially mostly everything is opposite to me and I get inspired by summer looks when it's winter, mmkay!! :P Saturation enhanced to show the colours better. 15 Concealer palette Revlon Photoready in Shell Bourjois Healthy Mix Undereye concealer Palladio Rice Powder in Translucent I used all Makeup Geek eye shadows Lid & Lower Lashline: Shimmer mint with a hint of Poison Ivy Crease: Stealth Outer V: A hint of Galaxy Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner Cheeks: Nyx Stick Blush in Tulip Lips: Australis Colour Inject l/s in Samba Nyx Stick Blush Review *not my pic*   This is a beautiful blush that is great for just a hint or a lot of colour, depending on how much you apply. I bough mine in the colour Tulip from cherryculture.com f...

I just came across this video and wanted to share- It's so cool that you can get so many different types of curls with the same tool! Also I think the guy is pretty funny, hehe. What's your fave way to curl your hair, and what do you like to use? xx

 Last week in a magazine I saw an add that said to wear red lipstick for MS ( Multiple sclerosis) so I had a reason to wear red lips at work(although I wear them when I feel like it), & nobody knew that was why. I teamed it with neutral eyes using Makeup Geek eye shadows. Hope you like!  If I may say so myself, I think this is the best lip lining I've done in a while. Although up close it does not look as good. Face products are all random since I'm trying to use up older products to get rid of them. However blush is firstly a cream by Rimmel followed by Candyfloss by BYS. Eyes: (All Makeup Geek): Moondust on the lid, Burlesque in the crease & lower lash line, Shimma Shimma as a highlight. Eyeliner: Smashbox cream duo (used a bit of the black & brown) I just know I have used some other eyeshadows but for the love of me I cannot think what! I can tell there is something different in the outer v. Lips: Random red lipliner Nyx soft matte lip cream in Amsterdam Ma...

 I was inspired by one of the girls on a makeup board, whose makeup reminded me of an exotic fish, hence the title lol, so I took those colours and had a play. I did this 2 times, one was a play around that took me 5 minutes on a Sunday night and the other was a more wearable version.  This was the play around one, as you can see it's not perfect, especially the lower lash line. I do love the brows though and intend to wear them coloured out one time haha.  This is how I wore it out. I toned down the lower lashline & the colours in the crease to make it more wearable & of course had my normal eyebrow colour lol but it was still a lot of fun to wear. Nyx JEP in Milk All colours from the 120 palette, except the black is from the Sleek Bad Girl Palette BYS Gel eyeliner Nyx White pearl as a highlight. Blush: Nyx glow cream, topped with Revlon Hushed Blush in A Floral Affair Lipstick: Elizabeth Arden (I cannot find it to retrieve the name, sorry!!) Next time I will add another c...

This is a post that is hopefully helpful to the beginners out there who cannot decide what type of brushes they should be looking for. Don't get me wrong, my brush collection has taken a loong time to slowly build up, but as long as you start with the basics you can keep adding to it later on. You also don't need to buy the most expensive brushes for a great result. However today I will not be focusing on the brands, simply on the type of brushes. I hope that makes sense lol.  Lid brushes *Apologies for the brushes not being in the same order, D'oh!* Top: Synthetic Flat brush: This is not absolutely essential, but it is good for applying primer & cream eyeshadows to the eyelids. Synthetic is best for creams as it will not soak up all the product, making it easier to clean. Middle: Large Stiff Shader brush: This is good for packing a whole lotta colour onto the lid. Bottom: Small Shader Brush: Simply used for the same method as the larger one, however it is better for...

  When you have so many brushes it does become difficult to store them. The first idea that comes into mind is a cup or a pencil holder to store the brushes. But as my brush collection increased I found it hard to store them as most of the space on my vanity table was taken up by different cups and holder for my brushes. But finally I have found the most perfect and feasible way to store my brushes. Its the Revolving Makeup Brush Holder (tool turn about). What could have been better than this? It has different sized section/wells which is great for storing different sized brushes. The section in the middle is best for the brushes with very long handles.  Its diameter is also the exact size for the MAC brush cleaner bottle. So if you want to keep your brush cleaner close and handy you can place it in the middle. The sections on the outer most part are a bit shallow then the rest so it make it easy for me to store my smaller sized brushes. I loved this tool turn about for my...
