Brigitte Bardot take 2; Day to Night look.

 Every now & then I check my stats & the one post that is always up the top is this Brigitte Bardot inspired makeup look I did a while back, although I cringe now but I feel that I have improved a lot, especially with my skin. :).

Day



My hair looking lush, with a bit of help.
On the eyes I used Nyx chrome white pearl e/s with a bit of Stila Kitten all over the lid with Satin Taupe in the crease for definition & blended out with a lighter brown.
Eyeliner is Maybelline Eye studio liquid e/l (I think thats the name), however I dun goofed it up :(
Cheeks are looking like NYX pinky blush & lips are a mixture of Revlon Nude Attitude & CG lip perfection in kiss (love this combo! Revlon NA helps take out some of the frostiness of kiss)


Only just a few more pageview's for all time. haha

Night
Had a party to go to & I had the worst time getting ready (burnt cheek while doing my hair, lots of frustration) but after all that trouble we didn't even stay for long. Ohwells.


Got my bitch face on. Whoops! I did my hair in a rush so it looks like crap.
So I prettymuch intensified the eyeliner with some of Fyrinnaes Immortal E/S, a gorgeous black glitter which reflects different colours. Its a bit hard to tell with these pics though. I used NYX black bean JEP on the lower lash line, & I used tape this time to get a sharper edge since I brought it out more & obviously used falsies. I used the same ones as I did with my first BB look (sadly, this was their last look with them, they died after I tried to look after them :( )
On my cheeks looks like NYX peach & Lips are NYX soft matte lip cream in Tokyo. Which made my lips look painfully dry in this look.

SO I know it is pretty much exactly the same as my first look but its a look I won't get sick of coz I think its super sexy.

Organisation, at last!! ~ Pic heavy + long post~

So finally I can breathe while I'm doing my makeup, as at last I have obtained a bigger & better way to store my (small but sweet) stash. Well, its not small compared to the average person, but I have seen some beauty's posted on the web. Anyway, I took some before pictures, to show you how I had been living ha ha. And of course, the after pictures.

Before you see anything, don't hesitate to click on the pictures to get a better look & also, it looks a lot worse then what it is because of the mirror (Ok yeah, it was a huge ball of clutter, but still...)

Everything,sitting on top of my dressing table.I need my space!!!
..Before..


I use a pencil organiser to hold my pencil eyeliners, lipliners, jumbo eye pencils and other colour stick bases. I keep my eye brushes in a white cup thing, I still want to find some little ball things that I can use to hold them upright that I don't need to buy online lol. Here is most of my lipsticks, kept in a very handy chocolate container. I don't know how I lived before I put them in here, but then I didn't own very many.

 I keep my face brushes in a cosmetic bag.
 Most used lip glosses/ balms, kept in a cute little bag which I wasn't sure what to use it for.
 A few smaller palettes that I use often. Here is Stila x2, Sleek, Wet n Wild, and Bourjois.

Blushes kept in another couple of chocolate containers.

 In the white hello kitty bag (hehe, that mum got from thailand a few years back) eye stuff,
Pink bag at the back, mostly face stuff, plus things I don't use too often & need to throw out!
Tiger print box underneath the pink bag, a random array of items that I forget about
Underneath the box in the container thing where I keep some concealer, foundation I don't use & my eye primer (I had to cut the end off of it lol but that's another story
I sit my bigger palettes (120, 88 warm, 28 neutral) & naked palette on top of the silver case.
Inside the silver case where I keep my e/s quads & such.
2nd shelf in the small bookshelf I have next to my dresser, forgotten lipglosses in the green bag, eyeliners just sitting there that I need to throw out (I am such a hoarder!!) some piggies in another choccy holder!! (these are from over the years, I promise!), in the pink easter basket is some NYX pigments, & in the back right corner is some eyelash stuff, & handy tape.

3rd shelf where I keep my hair accessories & brushes in a basket.

Holy molly I hope your computer is keeping up with all these pictures!! At long last we now come to....

Organized Clutter!!!

still a tad bit messy but looking better to me. I decided that I would still leave my brushes/ pencils/ lipsticks here because I use them all the time & I would only be moving them back & forth.
In my makeup bag, the essentials, & I mean it this time!

Pink bag, still a few things that need throwing out/ organizing
 Why hello there! We got some new trolleys at work, & I was allowed to take an old one home!!
There are side bits that I can open out & they have a little indent on both sides that fits my holders in perfectly without them moving around! Perfect if I needed to move my trolley to do makeup. Still undecided what to put on the top though or if I should leave it so it looks neater.
Top drawer, starting from the top left basket & going clockwise : Bronzers & highlighters, & then a few extra face stuff, & then obviously my blushes. I will move these into more baskets since they will hold the blushes better.
2nd drawer, my palettes moved over.
3rd drawer, single eye shadows' sorted out into loose & pressed.... well, almost lol. However in the bottom left basket is my liquid & gel eyeliners (excluding the pink square thing, IDK how that got there). Baskets fit perfectly!! I wasn't sure if they would so I only got a few.

4th drawer, main eyelash stuff & tape. Still not sure what else to add, but I may add more of my eyelashes even though I don't use them too often.

5th drawer, hair brushes, clips, bumpits, & wave wand.

Temporarily next to the trolley atm on the ground is the same basket with my headbands & stuff.

Bonus pics!
Next to the trolley on top of my white drawers, among the mess is where I keep my nail polishes.
 I keep my main/ new ones I use on top in a white box that got sent in the mail with nail polishes (thanks step MIL :)) Its a handy thing to keep them in, but not the prettiest lol.

Underneath that is some more nail stuff, that I should really go through haha.

So thank you for reading if you did (& I hope someone did 'coz that took me foreverrr *death glare*) hehe just kidding. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!! I'll be seeing you soon with more posts :)

Mostly Neutrals; Simple & Easy Work looks.


 I don't have much time at all in the morning for makeup anymore, some day's when I'm running late I will take it to work and do it there.... or I will do my hair there haha, and then I don't have time to take decent photos... but here are a few I did mainly in the first week. I choose to stick to neutrals 'coz I find that colours are easier to stuff up & don't look good if they are not blended properly... but with neutrals I find they are easier to blend. Anyhoo, here's a few looks.. I will try to remember what I have used!!
Eyes- UD Sidecar, Smog [?] Cheeks- I can't remember :( Lips- Bloom l/s in Honeysuckle.





Eyes- Gold pigment from now closed The She Space- Broken Rules. The Makeup Store e/l in Crazy Lazy. Some brown to blend out bronze. Cheeks- E.L.F Fushia Fusion. Lips- Nyx Strawberry Milk


Eyes- Bourjois Smokey Eyes quad- pretty much exactly the same products as this FOTD. Cheeks & Lips- can't remember unfortunately. I think the lips might be Nyx Fig though!

 Eyes- 28 Neutral Palette. Cheeks & Lips- Maybe FOA outback primrose blush & L/S I am not sure



Eyes- UD Sidecar, Buck & Hustle. Didn't turn out how I wanted but oh well. Make Up Store e/l in Go Wild (purple) Cheeks- Looks like ELF Peachy keen?? Lips- I'm pretty sure it was Australis Mineral Inject L/S In Salsa

Probablyyy my fave.... Eyes- Nyx Pearl Mania in Mocha, Nyx JEP in blackbean for e/l. Cheeks & Lips -Nyx peach blush & Revlon Candy Pink L/S


Thanks for looking sweethearts!! I have done more looks since then.. but like I said these are from my first week, but they're pretty boring or they have all been seen before & I don't take pics too often.

Hope to hear from you soon :D
