Daytime Glamour

 For some reason the other day I felt like wearing makeup appropriate for going out.... so here it is haha. Complete with falsies & glitter.

eeek frizzies

ommmg the eyelashes are horrendous (application, anyway ha ha), I didn't even notice until I saw these pics. Although I could feel it coming off in the inner corner. Yikes! I'm too scared to bind them into my natural lashes with the eyelash curler in fears of the shape getting damaged.
 Also my hair is the biggest mess. IDK what to do with it lately =/

Products:
Bourjois Blush in 16

ok so for the eyes I applied nyx glitter liner in disco ball first and than applied the gray in the 2 Faced duo "Ooh Ahh" but I think I should have done it the other way around because it didn't work very well & the glitter sticked to my brush.
I used Nyx Black Bean (not pictured) before I applied the black in the 2 Faced duo & blended a bit into the silver. I also lightly applied a neutral colour in the crease.
A little bit of Nyx Milk JEP was used on the lower lashline but that was all as I wanted to keep that simple.
Lashes are by BYS.

For lips first I applied MAC hue and then BYS lipstick(red) on as a stain. & then a bit of the Revlon Colorstay lipgloss over the top.


How do you like to apply Nyx candy glitter eyeliners? Apart from as a liner lol


Oh also some sad news.
My brother found one of our cats, that we have only had for a little while after giving him a home as his old owners couldn't look after him anymore, on the road, hit by a car. His name was Blitz and although we only had him for a short time and he was a very naughty cat, we miss him so much as he was the friendliest, smoochiest cat ever(unlike our Mishka who is the biggest snob hehe).
 Doesn't help that we live on a busy road but we think it would have happened late last night, and although we try to keep him in at night things happen.

here he got into the pantry & knocked down the cat biscuits. naughty!! lol. He was a huge cat for his size and soo friendly, but he always tried to trip us up haha. A sad thing was Mishka never got used to him so he was always getting chased by her.

R.I.P Blitzy xoxo

Thank you for reading.

Pin-up MU ft. Kate by Rimmel & Maybelline Master Precise

 I have some products/ looks lining up & I have used 2 of them in this look to kill 2 birds in one stone, ha.
I have been searching high & low for these Kate lipsticks every time I see a Rimmel display & finally found them, but only chose one colour, so next time I think I want to buy a few more.
Also I have been wanting to try a new liquid eyeliner in a while, so I went with the Maybelline Master Precise e/l because the title is exactly what I wanted, haha. Anyway...

If I had more time I would have made my hair a bit nicer, but I had just washed it the night before and it wouldn't stay in place, plus I had to finish getting ready for work.

28 Neutral Palette for the eyes

Maybelline Master Precise e/l

Nyx milk JEP on waterline

Falsies would have been nice but I didn't want to make it too much for work.

CG Lashblast Fusion

Blush is Face of Australia in Outback Primrose.

The Lips

Kate by Rimmel in 09

I did use a lipliner, but it wasn't the sharpest so it kinda made the lipstick look like it was bleeding... but I used Nyx Bloom l/l & it matched pretty much perfectly. Also it last all morning, so about 5 hours I think that was mainly thanks to the lipliner, filling in l/s with a brush, then blotting & reapplying from the bullet.

This is a really gorgeous dark pink slightly reddish lipstick,as I said it lasted for quite a while but it depends how you apply it. I have a few similar colours but this is the most burgundy-y colour of what I have.

The Eyeliner
Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner

 As you can see, the tip is verry fine, which is really good for drawing little pictures with your eyeliner (as shown in the ads) It is good to build up with a thicker line if you need too. I found this lasted really well all day, with no flaking or smudging as I have read in some reviews. In fact, I had to rub over it with a remover wipe a few times before it budged.
 However I didn't really rub my eyes, so I should test this out when I have hayfever haha. It also sets pretty quickly, so if you accidentally touch straight after it wont smudge.

Practiced my doodling... but not a very good one haha but you can see that you could do all sorts of things with this eyeliner.

I got the Kate lipstick for 9.95 from Priceline & The Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner for 7.95 (originally 12 I think) from Big W but depending on where you live the prices will be different. I recommend both of these products if they are what you are looking for!

Thanks for looking!

Gettin with the times...small Sugarpill Haul

yayy. Just a quick post to show off my goodies that arrived today. Shipping was decent from Sugarpill's website, especially since I'm in Australia so it was a few weeks but I'm always expecting that.

How it came in the box

I'm sure some of you have seen the packaging many times before, but here it is again.

L-R:  Darling, Hysteric, Goldilux. I just new I had to get goldilux after seeing so many looks with it haha, & the other 2 colours are stunning, although it was so hard to choose which ones to order (for now)

Swatches straight out of the tub

I also got a sticker & a free sample of ... well I don't know the name as it doesn't say it haha but I'm sure I will be able to recognize it on the website.

All loose shadows were $12 each & shipping was only $6 I think so they are very reasonable priced, I cannot wait to play around with them yahoo :)

Thanks for looking!! Looks & opinions to come later.

Pretty Pastels... + a few extras, + a note to all Aussie Beauty Bloggers

In case you may have realized, I had been gone for just under a week. I went up to Perth with my boss & another girl to go to a DMK course, which is our skincare brand that we use in the salon. Because it is a paramedical skincare it is very scientific & complicated, and you have to do many courses each year to keep up with itm but as it was my first time attending it was good to learn more about the brand & its theories. Thank god I didn't have to do the assessment at the end too!

Anyhoo.. while I was gone I added to my collection so hopefully I will have plenty of things to show you for some while. Also while I was gone I got my Nyx goodies from Ebay, yay :)
P.S I'm wondering why this wont save,,, so I get out of it to realize I've been signed out. grrr. Lucky I copied it before I got out lol.

Aussie Beauty Bloggers
just a quick note, We saw in a Beauty Therapist magazine that they are holding a convention thingy in September in Sydney, I don't have any more details sorry but maybe google it, it is a course to build uhh skills and things, and they also take you to IMATS!! woooo. Anyway I'm not the biggest & best beauty blogger otherwise I would love to go, but if anyone else out there is interested I think you should go for it! (great description, huh :P) PLEASE NOTE: Just an update, I didn't see until later that the magazine was a year old!! So its obviously been & done haha sorry!

Turquoise Serenity

"He loved the serenity of the place... I think he also just loved the word"

quote from a gold Aussie movie "The Castle"

The title of this look is just something I made up hoping it wouldn't sound weird. So I googled it & up came some images which was totally how I wanted my look to come across. When I was doing it I was thinking of the beach so I think it worked out well. Not really sure where the purple came from though haha

 

Products:

Face: Revlon Photoready Foundation

Coastal Scents concealer kit

Palladio Rice Powder in Translucent

Revlon Hushed Blush

Models Prefer Illuminator

Eyes: Nyx Nude Pearl Mania Pigment- Inner lid

Turquoise from 120 palette- Outer Lid; Blue from 120 palette- Crease

Purple 120 palette- Lower Lash Line

Nyx White Pearl- highlight

Black e/s in waterline

Maybelline Line Allure e/l

CG Lashblast

Lips: Bloom L/S in Honeysuckle

Of course, my inspiration for the title

It doesn't picture the sand but I can imagine it crisp & white.

Or how about a little bit of Turquoise Serenity a little bit closer to home, ie in my backyard (not literaly!)

I think the colours are similar to a look I did a little bit back, just placed differently.

Thanks for looking, hope everyone is going well!
