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...

Firstly, who here watches Australia's next top model!? Probably no one haha, but I am soo happy of the final 3 & I think i will vote for my favourite a hundred times hehe. Anyway, here is just another run of the mill (did I say that right lol) clubbing look, complete with contouring which I have not done in foreverrr. Excuse the daggy singlet, I did not get any pics in my outfit for that night but oh well. Products after pics! Thanks for looking lovelies =) Natural light... so yall can see the contouring. This is as much of my profile that i will show off haha After I did my hair.. didn't do much, just straightened the top layers a little bit. Lol pic, coz I like the way the lashes look :P Products: Eyes//~ Too Faced e/s duo in Ooh & Aah (Silver & Black sparkly) on top of a silver shade stick. (loove the silver in the duo!! totally gorgeous) MAC satin taupe in the crease. Nyx Black Bean JEP for eyeliner. I'm pretty sure I used NYX white pearl as a highlighter...

 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! 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...

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...
