How to Purple Smokey Eye & FOTD

Image
Are you ready to see the most beautiful purple ever!? I wanted to pair my beeautiful inglot shadow with maybelline's color tattoo in painted purple, since they paired up lol :P I also wanted to show you how badly it (color tattoo) applies :( So since I haven't done one in a while I thought I may as well do a step by step yayyy. Hope you like! ~Eye Products used~ Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple // Inglot E/S #439 // Sugarpill E/S in Hysterics // Random matte skin colour e/s  // Sleek Bad Girl- black, purple. // BYS gel eyeliner // Bourjois curling mascara //Max Factor false lash effect  1. After priming your lids, apply your base, I used Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple. (mehh hardly showed up! This is why it's just a base ;))  2. Pat your fave purple eyeshadow onto the lid. This is Inglot E/S #439 that has a slight bluish tint to it.  3. Blend the edge using windshield wiper motions. 4. Apply Hysterics to the crease.  5. Soften the edges by blending with ...

Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream eyeshadows swatches

Image
These are the ones I bought in my haul post and wanted to make a quick post with swatches & a short review. They have been out for a while but have recently came into Australia, where you can get pretty much anywhere that sells Maybelline for $11.95 which is a very reasonable price. I got it in the colours Tenacious Teal, Painted Purple & Pomegranate punk.  All are stunning colours but dry rather fast so you have to blend quickly. They don't budge unless you wipe with makeup remover. The only problem I have, and is what somebody actually asked me in my haul post, but I found the purple is a bit hard to work with and can turn out patchy so you have to apply a little bit more of that than others. You can see it on my finger a bit. One problem when I went to buy Pomegranate Punk is that this colour was behind the right tester (which was empty so I couldn't see the colour), however it has the name Audacious Asphalt on it. I've googled swatches and AA comes up with thi...

Footy Blues FOTD

Image
It feels like I haven't posted a FOTD for a little bit, this is actually from while we were away so it should say FOAFWA (face of a few weeks ago) :P Anyway, we went to the footy and I wore these colours to support my man's footy team... although I rather dislike them! hahah.  And they lost anyway =/ So sorry for the creasing you can see, I probably applied too much of the JEP. ~Products~ Face: Australis Paprazzi Perfect Fdtn Australis finishing powder MAC Dollymix Blush Eyes: TFSI Nyx JEP in Milk Sugarpill loose E/S in Darling Sleek Badgirl: Obnoxious, Abyss (blues) , Noir, Innocence (white) MAC Contrast E/S Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner Lips: Topshop L/S in Show Off   Bonus pic: Us before going out... don't worry about my clothes I changed them before we left! Thanks so much for looking xx

My Sleek Palettes

Image
I've been wanting to swatch my 3 Sleek palettes for so long so here they are! They are all swatched on top of L'oreal decrease primer- only because I've had it for ages and want to get rid of it haha Sleek Storm As you can probably tell I've had this palette for the longest. It's got a lovely range of neutrals but can be hard to show up sometimes. I use the darkest brown for my eyebrows. Apparently the first gold is a dupe for MAC's Woodwinked (I don't have it so I wouldn't know, if anyone has both please LMK! I was going to buy WW but I didn't because of this reason lol). One of my fave's is the highlighting colour, it is so beautiful. The black is the only gripe I have in this palette, barely any pigmentation there! Top: Natural light, bottom: Flash. I had to swipe the black the most to get some decency. I'm sure this palette dupes a few colours! Sleek Badgirl   This is the most perfect palette for smokey eyes EVER. Everything is so pigmen...

Winter Warmer Clothing buys

Image
Of course I also bought clothes when I went away, although not as much as what I would like but my suitcase was already filled to the top & I had spent enough already :p I wish I had a full length mirror to show the clothes properly, but you will have to envision them looking nice haha. I can't believe its august, which means that winter is nearly over (for the southern half of the earth, lol). The days have already started to get a tiny bit longer haha. These first 3 items were purchased from Roads.  $39.80- a great top that looks nice with just leggings (it covers the bum haha) but it definitely needs a black tank underneath as it has see-through parts. It's a little bit baggy but looks good with or without a belt around the waist. I love the colour too... it came in others as well.  $39.80- doesn't look the nicest in this pic haha sorry. Looks nice worn with jeans or leggings, It's quite long & warm for a chilly breeze, but probably can be paired with some so...

Real Technique Blush Brush

Image
Real Technique brushes by Sam Chapman (One of the talented ladies behind pixiwoo) is available in Australia at selected Priceline stores. I had a look in a few but as far as I know it was available in the pharmacy's only, but it doesn't hurt to ask if. This retails for $9 (I think) in the US but I got mine for $25 which is a price I'd normally pay anyway so its NBD to me. About the brush : It is super soft & fluffy for applying blush. It has a tapered end that is perfect for a light contour, not something I'd replace my contour brush with, however I'd use it for a light dusting of bronzer. As for using it for blush, I apply it on the side of the bristles, that way it is large enough for my cheeks & the blush is distributed nicely. Otherwise it can end up only on the apples of the cheeks, becoming hard to blend. I like the handle on it, it is super sleek and feels nice to hold lol, and the bottom is rubbery and wider at the base so it's able to stand up...
