fashion-down

My hair was in desperate need of a colour, I liked the colour that I had before but I've had red in my hair for so long that I wanted to go more violet-y. & it still has some red in it so I like that :D These pics were taken the day after so I made sure that I slept on my hair nicely haha. & to go with my new hair I wanted to do a more "special" look so yet again I tried a cut crease look (again haha) which I thought I had better try to name. Products: Nyx Cream Cheese JEP 88 Warm Palette - Blue circle lid - Orange crease - Purple Crease/ Outer V - Green eyeliner Black Bean JEP as a base for the e/l ELF Peachy keen Nyx Summer Love [?] & a bonus picture of our beautiful cat Mishka since I don't think I've posted one since she was a baby, when she was grey with black tips. She lost all her grey & turned orange/brown & black but is getting more greys again, hehe. This is how she likes to sleep =) I was going to post a few looks into this one, but...

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

 Every now & then I check my stats & the one post that is always up the top is this Brigitte Bardot inspired makeup look I did a while back, although I cringe now but I feel that I have improved a lot, especially with my skin. :). Day My hair looking lush, with a bit of help. On the eyes I used Nyx chrome white pearl e/s with a bit of Stila Kitten all over the lid with Satin Taupe in the crease for definition & blended out with a lighter brown. Eyeliner is Maybelline Eye studio liquid e/l (I think thats the name), however I dun goofed it up :( Cheeks are looking like NYX pinky blush & lips are a mixture of Revlon Nude Attitude & CG lip perfection in kiss (love this combo! Revlon NA helps take out some of the frostiness of kiss) Only just a few more pageview's for all time. haha Night Had a party to go to & I had the worst time getting ready (burnt cheek while doing my hair, lots of frustration) but after all that trouble we didn't even stay for...

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 everyone! Another quick post, no time to check in! In our backyard we have a lattice set up where we keep a bird bell (bird seed in the um shape of a bell lol). Quite often we have some Parots (or some sort of colourful bird haha- not too sure which species- maybe Lorikeets? ) that are usually in pairs but sometimes we can have up 5 at one time. Anyway... I have been meaning forever to use their gorgeous colours as inspiration. Hard to see how bright their colours are. These pics where taken before I did the rest of my makeup. So excuse the brows!   Picture borrowed from Google. Pink stars- mixed together on lid. White star-outer corner + undereye Orange stars- Mixed together for crease Green stars- mixed for above green Not pictured- Red for under eye, white for inner corner. Roo m for i m p rove m ent; Blending the blue & green together. I find the blues are hard to blend with the 120 palette. -Blending the red into the blue- I pictured it to look so much better but It didn...

Hey guys! I thought I would save some posts as drafts if I am going to busy, that way it will feel like I'm still here :) So this is a look that I did a few weeks ago, & I have to say it is probably my fave way to wear blues without going OTT. Most people are intimidated by it, I think they have a phobia of looking 80's but I've learned that there's a lot of ways to wear it without looking like Mimi! I don't know how I look so 'warm' here!!! Silly face!! :P I also used the nude colour to highlight.  Nyx JEP in milk as base + waterline. Eyes- Designer Brands palette (Pictured) Dark blue from 120 palette. Maybelline Liquid eyeliner  Cheeks- Nyx peach blush Lips- Nyx soft lip cream in Tokyo Looking back, I could have blended the darker blue more with the lighter blue. & I needed to clean up underneath the eye O.o Otherwise I liked this look- very similar to a look I did years agoo I loved this when I did it. Same colours except matte. Eyebrows have arch...

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...
