Hey guys! Sorry its been really hard to find time for blogging... still. :( I get my first TAFE package next week which will probably start with the basic stuff! So now that I am a student again... I have to do homework haha. Oh I can't believe its september already..... & its spring now!! My hayfever has already gotten 10x worse in the past few days.. especially today.... but I still had a goood day, can't wait to share some pictures I took!! So I've been working at the salon for 3 weeks now.... dyed my hair on the first day coz it was so overdue. Its a bit more different than usual, & looks a lot more redder in the sun, as always. I didn't get my blonde foils redone so where the colour has gone over it looks more pink!! hehe. Pic with no sun or flash, silly face time! Oh & just to let you know, I wasn't driving and taking pics.. the drivers seat is on the right in Aus coz we drive on the left (Just in case you didn't know... something new!) Eyes- B...

Hey beautifuls. Still been really busy & haven't had a chance to go on blogger since last week! Hopefully it's slowed down more. Updates about the new job later! So I still love playing around with my Naked palette & finding out new combos. You will see a ton of work looks with them since its so easy to reach for in the morning. This is one of my fave combos from the palette, which I find is a  gorgeous sexy smokey eye. I wore this to work & had a horrible customer that day who abused me, (retail- that figures!) & I cried when she left :( So I ruined my makeup dammit, & we were going out for tea that night but we were going to the gym beforehand anyway so I had to redo it. ~Look 1~ Cheeks- E.L.F blush in Peachy Keen. Lips- bare,except for  lip balm. So & I out for dinner that night. Well we were with family as well :) Eyes- Sin all over the lid (originally I started with sidecar but changed my mind). After I completed the look I added some gold from th...

Firstly, the update: Some of you may have read that I am doing a beauty traineeship... well I am actually starting next week!! So for the first few weeks I will still probably be working nights at my other job.. so I will finish early at the salon then go across town (luckily the town isn't too big haha) to that job & by the end of the day I will be exhausted!! But then I will be keeping only 2 nights at that place so it wont happen all the time.. but unfortunately for me it will be less time to blog & check out other blogs :( Anyhoo the other weekend we had to help with some makeup for a local fashion show!! It turned out to be plenty of other salons there as well to do makeup & a few people to do hair so we didn't do too many people. More talk of that at the end of the post. For this day (I had to work in the morning) I did a gold eye using the Naked palette (haa, well had to do makeup at the SO's place in the morning so it was easier to transport) & a qui...

So this is a delayed post from the other weekend.. we had hired out a bus for my aunties birthday & decorated it & went out for tea to a place that's about 25 minutes out of town.. by the time we had picked everyone up it took us over an hour & we had (between us girls) 5 bottles of champagne 0_o Anyway, I went smokey again but decided to add some glittaa & I was going to do lashes but ran out of time 'coz I did my aunties makeup before..... pics of that at the end! Playing around with the colours.. this is probably more correct. Before I changed my clothes.. coz I like the way my hair looks he he Added some lipgloss because I wasn't too happy with the lip colour.... after all of those damn photos >.   I also layered some Nyx Iris over Revlon Nude Attitude (whats wrong with that picture.. bahah), but that's the basics. For the eyes I first used The Face Shop uh Shimmer Stick in silver then Stila Kitten & then the black shade in that palette, t...

I suppose not everybody likes a lot of drama for in the day time... but if you want that without going too OTT I like to do a brown smokey eye. For this I used the (surprise, surprise) Naked palette. I taped the edges to get that sharp look to make it a little bit more dramatic.   Of course this post wouldn't be complete without a few closeups. Eyes: NYX JEP in slate on lid UD Naked : Sin - Inner Lid. Hustle - all over the rest of the lid. Buck - Crease. Blended out with Naked . Toasted added on top of buck. Lower Lashline A little bit of Darkhorse in the outer corner. Virgin to highlight UD Whiskey E/L in waterline. Black Bean for top E/L Cheeks- NYX peach blush Lips- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Tokyo (I applied lip balm just before but didn't blot it enough so its not quite matte) Question: I haven't done a picture tutorial in a while, would anyone be interested for this look?? Even though y'all are totally more talented then me :) Thanks for looking, hope y...

lol at another lame title. Hope everyone had a good weekend!! I had my first baby shower to go to on Sunday arvo which was heaps of funn :) Anyway I'm sorry that this is another Naked look, & there are a few more to come then I will give it a break for a while.. or I may just space out the posts :) I also feel the need to go back to colour before it gets warmer! Silly smile :P It looks like I cut my hair short!! But I didn't which is obvious in the first pic it was just sitting that way. On 1 eye I placed the black a bit too low, & the eyeliner turned out thicker but oh well. Used Stila palette on the left. EYES:  Stila Kitten [lid, lower l/l] Black [outer v + crease] UD Smog [crease on top of the black, lower lash line] Lightest colour [to blend crease] UD Virgin [highlight] Maybelline liquid e/l Cheeks: probably Nyx Peach blush Lips: Mac Hue L/S with Nyx Sugarpie L/G Oh & since its (kinda) on the subject of the title, just wanted to update with a picture of the ki...
