fashion-down

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 L...

Just some more pictures with the same FOTD from my foundation tutorial... When I was doing it I had more of a Victoria's Secret look in mind as I had just watched Transformers 3 the night before (major girl crush on Rosie & her hair & make up!) but in the end I think I strayed from the inspiration- oh well, I still like it & I think I may do this in summer when its too hot 2 do anything else because its quick & easy- minus the winged eyeliner, I think I might skip that. Products~~ Eyes: NYX JEP in cottage cheese over the lid the lightest colour in the Sleek Storm palette all over Lightly blended a bronze colour into the outer corner, going slightly onto the lid Bronzer in the crease Lancome artliner The Makeup Store e/l in Crazy Lazy (blue) Cheeks: Nyx glow cream blush bronzer that you cannot see haha Lips: Bys lipstick in Coral Kiss Thanks for looking

So thanks mainly to Makeup and Meme & Starryskies for their swatches, I ordered a few NYX soft matte lip creams. L-R Amsterdam, Addis Ababa, Tokyo  I am sure you will be seeing these in many FOTD's to come!! From what I've tried, they are beautiful!! I also decided to try a glitter cream palette, I've heard these were hard to work with but why not give it a go!? oh & on a sad note, we had to take the kitty to the vets this morning, mum found her a bit matted up and dirty & she couldn't walk properly, so she's getting a few x-rays done now. Looks like the worst thing could be a broken pelvis! :( UPDATE: Unfortunately, her hip has been dislocated & they have popped it into place but it pops straight out which requires surgery which is $$$, lets just hope she wont get hit by another car after it!!

Hey lovelies. Just a simple eye look with bright lips! Sorry I look so tired :/ this was actually from last week. & I know its a look y'all have probably seen before but its nice & simple! Yah I know, way too much highlighter underneath my eyes Nyx Vanilla Shimmer on lid David Jones E/S (bronze + brown) Nyx White Pearl to highlight Nyx JEP in Black Bean as a highlight Maybelline xxl extensions mascara BYS glow pearls BYS bronzer Revlon Fushia L/S thanks for looking! p.s I think I need to start playing around in more dramatic eyeshadow more, before the warmer weather comes!! I didn't do this last year & I got jealous when I saw every bodies winter looks, he he

These are 2 looks from the other week, I am kicking myself because I sometimes take pics of the products I use so I can remember, however I didn't and I am so fustrated coz I wanna know what I used on the lips lol! So I dug out my lipsticks & swatched a few, but due to the lighting they look different =/ Hmmmm. I am gonna take a guess! 1st look..     I used the e/s from Kate that I bought in Phuket. Lovely colours but I had to really pack them on to get them to show up nicely. As for the cheeks I am pretty sure I am wearing that Fake MAC blush which is a peachy colour.   2nd Look wow, sorry for the shocking blending! This stuff is hard to use... or is it just me hmmmm Do I need to say that this is not my skin haha   On the eyes I used the fake MAC 8 palette... man was it hard to get anything decent out of that!, probably why the blending didn't turn out too well, & Black Bean for eyeliner. On the cheeks is Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls. So I got all my lipstick...

haha sorry for all the FOTD posting (which isn't even that much) but I want to get some out of the way for when I am away. I have older pics to post too like the one I posted yesterday so if it seems like some times my hair looks faded or my eyebrows look messy it's coz they are not posted in order.... (I still have some from months ago that I wanna post!!) Sorry for the posey pics I was in a posey mood :P Not much changed with my hair, I just got it dyed that same dark red/purple colour (to match my extensions which I barely wear! my hair is long anyway haha) & my side fringe re-cut.... which I think I may grow out again & style it to the middle haha that doesn't make sense.. oh am I the only one with the horrible short hairs around my hairline at the top!?? ahah Natural Light.... I wish my eyes were more squinty haha! Deer in Headlights lol Trying to show off some of the blonde I have in my hair.... Which is hard to show since it is hidden  Eyes: Bourjois Kohl ...

I did this for the new MUG challenge which is a "colour block challenge" using beautiful pastel pink,purple & blue.

 Hey guys =) The other day I just wanted something simple & fresh for work. So here it is! I was sitting outside taking pics & the sun decided to show it's beautiful face after not being the nicest weather lately. Face~ A cocktail of liquid foundations lol, MAC strobe cream, Nyx cream blush in Orange, Nyx Taupe Eyes~ Nyx vanilla shimmer, nyx taupe in the crease, Lancome Art liner, CG lashblast fusion Lips~ Nyx Narcissus l/s The sun washed out the right side of my face =/ lol but this shows the glowy-ness :) Kitty enjoying the sun too!! ^^

So after seeing a beautiful look on makeupgeek I just had to get this palette. It is my first from Wet n Wild and I am definitely impressed lol. Well yesterday when I received this palette I decided that I would have a good at my first picture tutorial and that I would also include swatches. I would love to hear feedback from you guys about everything!!  This Wet n Wild Lust palette comes with 3 matte & 3 glittery shades, the matte being on the left column and the glittery on the right. Here are my swatches of the colours all under Nyx JEP in milk (Yeah I probably should have blended that a bit more lol) Top is flash & macro (which made my hairs stand out more- they're not that dark IRL!) bottom is natural light The shadows are super pigmented & blendable but also feel fragile like they may break easily. As they are so soft they can cause quite a bit of fall out, this is why I have taken to applying my eye makeup first. Here the swatches were with one swipe & obvio...
