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...

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...

I wasn't thinking of taking pics & making this into a tutorial when I started doing it so the pictures aren't that informative but its ok & simple to follow. This is using bendy hair rollers. If you do not need to use heat & you have enough rollers you can go to bed with them in your hair & when you take it out in the morning you will have beautiful curls. What you need:  Bendy Rollers, some hair clips, bobby pins, sectioning comb. Products I used in my hair: PPS the ends (cuticle sealer applied after I washed my hair) Heat protector (obviously only if you use heat) Herbal Essences Tousle me Softly spray gel, Moroccan Oil for afterwards.If your hair does not hold curl very well you may want to use a curling cream. After you have washed your hair, section your hair off. Grab a section of hair within that section (size depends on how you want your curls to turn out) & roll in a bendy roller, starting at the ends & rolling up to your head, folding the ends ...

 On the weekend my friend came down & it had been a while since I had seen her, so we planned a night of drinking & dancing. I had been wanting to do just a full on smokey eye look for a while now but didn't have anywhere to wear it, and didn't want to wear it during the day haha. I added some glitter under the lower lashline & falsies to make it look more "glam". It was also meant to be more black then silver but I used slate JEP when I should have used black bean. Something is missing... can you spot it lol Emma (friends SIL/ one of my bosses) did my hair & I put on my falsies at her place. I usually have to get ready by myself so it was nice to have someone else do my hair :) Products:: Eyes; Slate JEP, an array of black eyeshadows , smoked out with a bit of satin taupe . Nyx glitter liner in disco ? on lash line with Fyrianne Immortality over the top (hint of glitter), White pearl to highlight. Nyx silver glitter on the lower lash line (doesn...

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...

So, the engagement party is all over, which I'm kinda sad but happy about it, mainly because it was so fun to do all the decorations (which took only 2 days haha- 1 hour to clean the majority up with about 10 people) but now the stress is over! Time to relax, even though it was a great night. The shed had never ever been that decorated before and without my future M.I.L and her friends' help it wouldn't have happened. Anyhoo... I got my hair curled that afternoon, and when it came to my makeup I didn't really have anything planned! But I knew I wanted it to stand out, so I went for gold glitter as you will see in the pics. Damn lashes in the 2nd pic, sorry!! Before getting changed- I took too many damn photos to choose from. some with eyes only, some before changed then heaps after changed. lol .                            My hair from the back- taken earlier on in the day  Face- MAC Strobe Cream (after primer). Nude by Natural Mineral Makeup. I used this coz I knew t...

Hey bloggers :) I’ve been busy busy this past week, planning our engagement party & decorating, so I haven’t had too much time to spare although I wanted to share my hair routine, just coz I have been growing out my hair ever since I got it cut shoulder length, lol. I even bought extensions but haven’t worn them much… =/ As you can see i didn't properly style my hair, I just blow dried the majority of it with my fingers :) To wash- (also see here for hair washing tips) I use a Tresemme Colour Protector conditioner & a Pantene colour therapy conditioner (my aunty gave me heaps so I haven’t bought any & wont need to in ages!) I leave the conditioner in for a bout 2 minutes with a hair clip while I wash my face etc. Massage in while I’m rinsing it out. I pretty much always rinse with cold water (yep, even in winter!) after to close the hair cuticles which makes your hair shinier. I pat/ squeeze with towel (my hair holds alottt of water so I have to squeeze for ages). ...

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 ...
