China Glaze Magnetix + A couple more NOTW

Hey everyone sorry for the lack of posting once again. Here is just some recent nails from the past few weeks I though I've done more than this but maybe I haven't taken pics lol.



I used China Glaze Magnetix in Instant Chemistry. We are still playing around with these so the magnetic effect isn't as cool as the pictures in google lol but it takes getting used to. You buy the magnet separately which has 3 different patterns to choose from that you have to hold as close to the nail without touching it. But the overall effect is so cool!
Sorry for the messy cuticle edges & the splodge of gold on one! argh haha.

. This is the magnet & the patterns to choose from, taken from google. There are also quite a few different colours in this collection.

 I loove the way this green turned out! Its just from the chainstore sportsgirl & I added a blue glitter from BYS over the top. When I took this off I got it all over my fingers! haha
 This is just the same colourful nails as a few weeks back but was playing around with stamping plates which I think ties the look in together.
Sorry for the chipping, this is using a hot pink from Australis with a pink glitter over the top, it made me feel so girly I loved it! hehe.

Thanks for looking loves! Whats your fave nail combos? Or have you tried China Glaze Magnetix polish??

Naked 2 Smoky Eye, Pic Heavy!

Apologies in advanced if your computer runs slower when clicking on this post. I need to stop taking too many pics to choose from, its just so hard!! Haha.
This past weekend we went to a wedding & I knew I had to use my UD Naked 2 palette for a smokey eye, so here it is.


Natural light, bringing out the redness in my hair ahah.



Dont mind the armpit ;)

 
 -After TFSI, I used Nyx Cream Cheese JEP in the inner half & Essence Ballerina Backstage eye souffle in Black as bases & blended out with my fingers
- Urban Decay Naked 2 palette:
1. Verve 2. Pistol 3. Blackout 4. Snakebite 5. Bootycall
On the lower lashline I used blackout, blended out with snakebite & a bit of verve.
-Maybelline Master Precise e/l on top lash line, BYS gel e/l on the waterline.
-Red Cherry lashes #43

MAC Peachykeen blush
Coastal Scents 15 concealer palette to contour
Nyx Taupe Blush

My lips were so dry that after I added lipstick (Revlon Nude Attitude) I had to rub it off and add a heap of lipbalm.


Pat yourself on the back if you made it through all those photos!! I'm thinking of posting an eyebrow & eyeliner tutorial soon (when I can get around to it) so let me know if your interested in that. Especially since I've changed the way I do my eyeliner & I think its a huge improvement! yaay.
xxxx

WAIT: one more picture.
My boy & I. That's it haha. :)

Sugarpill Triple Post; Darling in Hysterics

Sorry guys that I haven't been able to get on here much- I have so much study lately so I need to get my priorities straight, haha. Most of the looks I have lined up in my drafts are quite old so bare with me, and its way easier to group for posts.
With these looks I was just playing around with my Sugarpill eyeshadows, these looks were when I first got them so that means that I've had these sitting in my drafts for a loong time, lol.
~Look 1~

I love this eye & lip combo together, I think they are very jewel toned which compliments each other :)

-Nyx Milk JEP as a base
-Sugarpill Darling on inner lid
-Sugarpill Hysteric on outer lid
-Nyx E/S in Highlight blended in crease
-Maybelline Precise E/L

 I am unsure of the cheeks sorry, but the lipstick is Revlon Colorburst in Fuchsia.

This is such a simple way to apply eyeshadow, but I did it mainly to make sure I blended them together nicely :) Although I could have blended the edges better.

~Look 2~


I mixed this with a concealer to create a cream eyeshadow, as I learned from CamiGMakeup, however it did crease easily, but I could see that using a primer would prevent that (If I ever stray from TFSI & don't like a cheaper one I will devote it to that lol).
Also can you notice something else that I almost never do? Probably not lol, I took my liner right into the inner corner.

Sugarpill Loose E/S in Darling

Slightly darker blue from the 120 palette above Darling.
Can't remember which E/L I used, either Nyx Black Bean or Maybelline Line Allure (Pretty sure it was Line Allure)
Nyx White Pearl to highlight.
Black eyeshadow for the outer liner on the lower lash line.

Blush I think is E.L.F Peachykeen
Lips is Nyx Iris



~Look 3~



the product list for this will be quite simple as it was long ago and I can't remember properly.
-Nyx Milk JEP
-Sugarpill E/S in Hysterics
- Hot pink from 120 palette (Didn't turn out too well lol)
-Nyx Black Bean JEP (eyeliner)

-Cheeks may be NYX Peach blush
-Lips look like NYX soft matte lip creme in Tokyo
