Small Big W Haul + Winter Boots

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 best pics & messily applied, sorry!
ugh can't capture the colour perfectly
I Loved the colour of the Rimmel L/S so much I had to try to take some pics of it, it is 210 Pink Flame.














Anyways, {Relevant} I have a winter clothing investment post coming up so I want to know : What have you bought to prepare yourselves for your upcoming seasons wether its Summer or Winter??

A Blast From The Past: Myspace photos

loll I was thinking about how I hadn't been on Myspace pretty much since high school so I decided to revisit it & have a look at my old pics. Most of these were before I started getting into makeup seriously or when I had just started. Oh & I realized I had deleted heaps so I went into my old photobucket account & found waay more.Oh my gosh I had so much fun looking at this pics, remembering how much of a poser I used to be hahaha.

Smokey Pink 2.0 + Tutorial

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, curl lashes, add mascara, do your brows & foundation if you haven't already & tidy up the edges with concealer. Finished :D
~What I used for the eyes
Austalis intensifEYE Wet/Dry e/s. sadly mines broken :(
            The She Space e/s in Into The Smoke
