A Blast From The Past: Myspace photos

ughh eyebrows!

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.

Soo I tag YOU to post your old pics so we can look back & see how much you've changed :D

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

Quick Tip: Extra Virgin Olive Oil on your skin?!?

Olive oil, or more specifically Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a great makeup remover & is also very moisturizing!
 I use every Extra Virgin Olive Oil every night as a moisturizer, for my eyes & my face.

After I wipe off my makeup with makeup wipes & use my cleanser, I pour some EVOO onto a cotton bud & apply it to my face much the same way as a toner, & in a way it is a toner because it helps to remove extra makeup that didn't quite want to budge. & Then I rub it into my skin like you would with a moisturizer.
I find that it's particularly great for removing stubborn eyeliner & waterproof mascara, & it is great for conditioning the eye lashes as well.

If you're too scared to use it like that, you can always use it only as a makeup remover for the face, and/or eyes & then use your cleanser after wards.

Also I would like to note that I have dry acne prone skin, but using this does not cause any more breakouts for me then I usually get (& I have stopped breaking out! But that's another story ;))

Before you get scared at the thought of using any oil on your skin ('coz oils must cause pimples, right?!) Have a look at this table I borrowed from http://www.zerozits.com/Articles/acnedetect.htm (scroll down to see the full table with heaps of other ingredients)



Here it says that olive oil has a COM (Comedogenicity) grade of 2 which means it can cause pimples (but its not super bad) & the IRR (Irritancy) grade of 0 which means that it doesn't irritate your skin by causing hives, redness, swelling, flaking, peeling, & itching.
Now this chart says Olive oil, which is different to EVOO, where EVOO is typically produced from the first pressing of olives, making it more pure and least acidic than olive oil, which would most likely bring down the COM grade.

Hope this was helpful, maybe wasn't that quick of a tip haha :P 
Disclaimer: I am saying what works for my skin & doesn't necessarily mean it will work for yours. However I have had a good experience with Extra Virgin Olive Oil & have wanted to share it :D
