fashion-down

 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...

*exhales after saying long title* :P Anyhoo, the other day I had a look in a chemist that I barely ever go into & I saw that they had a huge display of Bourjois! So of course I went over & swatched about 20 different products onto my hand baha. They also had some of the Covergirl Lip Perfection colours but not a very huge colour selection. & then lastly as I went up to the counter I looked in the bargain bin & they had some really nice polishes for $5!! The bag was free when you spent $30+ on Bourjois. Bourjois: Smokey Eyes in Rose Vintage. Blush- 16 Rose.  Quick Thoughts: I wish I had bought a different colour from the smokey eyes e/s because I found these are preeety similar to UD Virgin, Sin & Hustle (not exactly the same, but in the same group) &  I'm always looking for different colours. But for $28 I will be getting some use out of this, lol. But as for the blush.. I looove it so stinking much! It actually smells like roses, I'm going to have to ge...

Sorry for the stupid title haha! I have been playing around with my naked palette a bit, but felt like mostly everything I've done so far has been the same. Oh well give me some time haha. Sin- Lid, lower lashline Hustle- outer lid/v, lower lashline Toasted- Crease Virgin- Highlight Sin is a very pretty colour,  however it appeared more white in this light then the pinky colour it is. sorry for the goofy look on my face =/  This was just simple with Half Baked on the lid & Naked in the crease. Lips are Australis Salsa which is looking very coraly here, other times it looks pink. Goofy photo.. at work haha So yeah thats it... I'm really looking forward to doing a smokey-ass look with this palette! hehe. Question Time: If you have the naked palette, what are you fave combos? Get me inspired!!

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...

Hey guys back again to quickly post another look! This was from about a month ago when  we went out to dinner with the family :) So it was a bit hard to remember the products used!

 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!! ^^

I did this quite a few weeks ago now, never really bothered to post it though lol but we were going out for dinner & i wanted something smokier especially since it had started raining that day, lol. This was done using the 88 warm palette (which i still need to do a review on) but i can't really remember the colours i used! For lips im pretty sure i used Revlon's nude attitude. thanks for looking :)
