New Years Shoes; Which ones to wear?

So for New Years I'm going to a dress up party. My costume is all sorted but I will need to get changed to go out to the pub afterwards. I present y'all with 2 shoes to pick for me :) haha & the pros and cons :P Plz ignore my feet & shoes ha I took these straight after a stinkin hot day at work so ignore them but dont ignore the shoes!

 Glittery Gold Peep Toe Pumps
-Pros: Comfortable on the soles of my feet
-Totes appropriate for new years!
-So damn pretty haha

Cons: Glitter will fall off! Do not want. (I have been spraying with hair spray however-  & I'm thinkin that its working.)
-Kinda uncomfortable around the heel where it rubs on my feet- may need bandaids
-toes will hurt after a while

Black Suede Wedges with Ankle Strap (its ok that the sides pop out)
-Pros: Wedges are super comfy to wear all night without hurting your feet.
-I love these ones too! ha
-Easier to walk in without worrying about tripping

Cons: Ankle strap may get annoying (they are on super tight here anyways)
-Feels like I'm rolling as I'm walking in them
-Don't want to ruin the suede!

Anyways you don't need to go by the pros/ cons just the look of them if you like, I am already wearing the wedges with my costume anyway so maybe I could bring the other ones into just in case?

Thanks everyone, Happy New Years!

Futuristic Cut Crease?

Woohoo I can finally honestly say I was happy with how this look turned out! I would definitely do this look again for clubbing or maybe even new years, I would probably add some glitter & it would be good to go. Also I think it this goes with any outfit.

So I was inspired by this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fq-lEu73GI&feature=channel_video_title, & I thought it would be harder to get my eyes even but I got it fairly quickly. It doesn't matter if it is not perfect anyway because as they say "eye's are sisters not twins."

Eyes:
Lid: Stila Kitten. Also a tiny bit on the middle of the lower lash line (lll)
The lightest colour from Barbie <3 Stila from brow bone to crease (help with blending).
Crease: Nyx JEP Black Bean with an angled eyeliner brush and on the lll.
Black from 28 palette blended with a pencil brush over top of Black Bean.
A little bit of the black from the same Stila palette on the lll.
Maybelline Eye Allure Eyeliner.
CG Lash Blast Fusion
Japanese Eyelashes.

Cheeks: I think a tiny bit of E.L.F Fuschia Fusion

Lips: Maybelline Color sensational l/s in Party Pink on the outside with Mac Hue on the inside.

At first I was going to leave the lower lash line alone but it didn't look complete, so I started with one eye & it didn't look that good until I defined my lower eyelashes.This look is also a must for falsies, I got asked if it was just mascara or was I wearing falsies hahah. At least they are not noticeable :P

So that's it! I hoped that everyone had a lovely Christmas & Boxing day with their families and I hope y'all have a great new years!!!

Christmas Look

To be honest, I wish I was more excited about Christmas. I guess it's not the same when your all growned up :( haha :P

So I did this look inspired by this blogger here. Mine wasn't meant to be christmassy but I decided that it can be since I haven't done a festive look yet. However It's a copy more than an inspiration because I didn't want to change a thing.& I got compliments at work so I was happy with that :)

Ugh I could go into many things I want to improve, like mainly the eyeliner. I didn't mean to make the gold so thick & as it came out I didn't clean my brush enough so it mixed into the black but ohwells.

 

I also didn't want the yellow to be too outrageous so I added just a hint of it, & I wish I blended right to the eyeliner so it looked cleaner.

a tiny bit edited

 

And most importantly, the inspiration pic

Haha that's enough of me picking out everything, here's what I used
Eyes: TFSI
NYX Milk JEP
120 palette: see picture
Maybelline Line Allure eyeliner
Coastal Scents gold gel eyeliner
Nyx gold glitter

Cheeks... hmm I don't think its important since I can barely see in the pics anyway.. plus I forgot :S
Lips are by David Jones.. Some orange lipstick.

Happy holidays to all!! Thank you for reading, commenting etc :)

Battle of the Eyelash Curlers

In this haul post here you will see that I finally bought a new eyelash curler. I had my old one for a couple of years now & it was time for a new one since I never really liked that one haha. It dug into the corner of my eyes, leaving marks in my eyeshadow that I had to fix. Soo annoying haha.
I wanted to do a quick review/ comparison of them both which I hope will be helpful to somebody, even if they are random brands haha.

L-R: Models Prefer, Elite Professional.

The one on the left is my new one & the one on the left is (obviously, ha) my old eyelash curler. You can see that the MP is longer but not as chunky, which I think would be better to fit in a smaller makeup bag since it wouldn't take up as much room, if you get what I mean.

Sorry for the Elite one for being so gross! I had replaced the pads on it a little while ago after I finally found some hiding, so before that it was even worse.

Can you see how the EP one is more curved & shorter on the curler part than MP which is longer & less curved so it fits around my eye better, & gets all of my eyelashes in unlike EP. I hope that you can see what I mean & that I don't sound like a crazy person, haha.

*excuse the naked brows & unfinished eye makeup*
Maybe you can see it here, how much better the MP curler (on the right) fits my eye & doesn't dig in- although it kinda looks like it is, it isn't. It was awkward to take these pics btw haha

I added a mascara primer so you could see my eyelashes, I held them both on for about 15 seconds, & the MP curled my lashes a lot more especially the ones on the outside.

So I have to say that I quite like the Model's Prefer eyelash curler, but since I have not tried any popular brands like the E.L.F one which is meant to be good (I imagine it being like the MP one) or the oh-so-famous Shu Umera Eyelash curler I cannot compare it to them, but I hope that I can help somebody :)

EDIT: I made this post a few days ago & I have to add: don't squeeze too hard when curling!! It snapped on my eye lashes and is now broken :( :( Ohwell, I guess I will have to try the E.L.F curler!!

Schmoking FOTN Pic Heavy + Nails

The other night I wanted to do something dramatic & smokey for going out for my mans work christmas dinner & then to hit the nighty afterwards. Of course I wanted to use this Bourjois eyehshadow which for some reason looks green... maybe it is because I don't think its quite black... hahah. It doesn't look green in swatches but maybe the JEP changed the colour of it.

 Products:
TFSI
Nyx Black Bean JEP
Bourjois Eyeshadow No.4
Fyrianne Immortality glitter ( tiny bit on center of lid for dimension) over the top of Pixie Epoxy
Mac Satin Taupe in the crease ( Over the top of a brown I had for during the day)
White from the 28 palette over the top of Nyx JEP Milk (also used on waterline)
Nyx White pearl for highlight

Omigosh I have no idea what I wore on the cheeks :/ Luckily I don't have too much of a range maybe it was Nyx Peach *edit* I think it was bourjois rose blush 34 but it looks too peachy here haha ohwell
Lips are Nyx Sugar Pie lipgloss on it's own

I would have worn lashes but I didn't want it to be 'too much' but I wish I brought them out with me to apply after dinner. I was also a bit indifferent about the white waterline I should have made it darker but I think it made my eyes look bigger so that's good.

Hair: I used my Babyliss Pro Heat rollers and yay... my curls turned out looking good for once! I followed a tutorial as I was doing it so that made it easier. Also sorry for my hair looking a bit frizzy... I put some Moroccan Oil in afterwards but didn't want to use too much in case the curls fell out quicker. I also just teased at the crown a tiny bit for extra volume & pinned a little bit back.

As always I took heaps of pics before I actually got changed lol. This is a mini (& I mean mini, I don't think I could go without tights) dress from Supre.

Nails:

 Nicole by O.P.I in It's Possible with Orly in V.I.P (purchased b/c of Lisa Eldridge haha)

 Sorry if you don't like looking at toes! Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Hot Magenta with random bits of glitter that I bought from ebay, just to keep it interesting :)


Thank you for looking bbys, take care!!

Move over Bio Oil...

..Because i've moved on to Rose Hip Oil. I know I know, its old news, & I'm sure many of you have heard of or even use it, but I had been using Bio Oil for quite some time, so when I ran out of my 2nd bottle I wanted to try something different. I'm loving it & just wanted to share my thoughts on it.

As you probably know, my skin is dry/dehydrated with scars. When I wash my skin it can feel tight & gross but when I apply this, it feels greasy at first but as it sinks in it feels lovely. If you have oily skin it may feel too greasy so don't go overboard.
I have been using this for about 4 weeks & can notice an improvement with the leftover scars from my peel & the texture of my skin feels nicer. You can also use it on your body if you want to. I only use it in the morning before moisturizing but you can use it day & night, especially if you have bad scarring. & you will want to apply it some time before doing your makeup so it would have sunk in.

I love the bottle of this particular brand! As you can see it has a little drop thingy on it so you can measure the amount you need which is much better than pouring way too much into your hand. I guess it depends on the type of brand you get, the bottles wont all be the same.

The bottle says to use 2-3 drops but I usually only do 1-2 because it spreads really easily. I put a drop on my fingers & then rub them together to warm it up then apply using a circling motion with my fingers & massage it over my face.

I totally recommend using Rose Hip Oil for scarring, stretch marks, rosacea & even if your skin has no particular issues, just because it feels so nice! I will continue to use it because it gives my skin the extra boost it needs.

Overall:
Product: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Quality 5/5

Price: Around $18(15ml)  but it depends on the size & where you purchase it from.

thank you for reading & I hope its useful for someone!

Oh I just wanted to mention a giveaway that Starryskies is holding... it closes on the 19th of December ( I left it a bit late to post this but there's still time! )

Go insane, throw some glitter make it rain

I couldn't help the title lol, a couple of weeks ago we went to a festival that had bands & DJ's including Avicii, LMFAO (my fave! they were awesome haha), Bloody Beetroots, Pnau & many more.
I wasn't sure how I wanted to do my makeup but I wanted it to be more festival-like so at the last minute I threw in some glitter & felt like Ke$ha haha. Too bad it kinda looks like dirt from afar. I actually had a spray tan done a few days before, I will post those FOTDS later but here it is quite natural, just the way I like it.

that stray eyebrow hair will be the death of me ahah

 Products:
Eyes:
UD Sin, buck, naked
MAC Satin Taupe
Nyx White Pearl
Black Bean JEP as a base for the glitter e/l which was NYX disco glitter e/l
a lil bit of UD Half Baked on the lower lash line
Ebay falsies cut in half on the outer corner of the eyes
Fyrianne Pixy Epoxy as a base of the glitter
NYX glitter in silver, hot pink & gold

Cheeks:
Nyx taupe blush for contouring
Nyx Peach blush

Lips:
Nyx Dolly Pink l/l
Sleek Amped l/s

I wanted my hair to be quite punkish but cbf teasing it properly so it didn't go up too high, but I twisted some sections along side for the effect ( lilithedarkmoon tutorial)

I went crazy trying to find the right top 2 days before & found this last minute & loved it! It has a tie up back so I wore a bandeau top for protection lol.

 

Rawr!!

As always thanks for looking loves <33
