Hey guys! Arghh I've been trying to stay out of this funk of not posting but I've been having trouble with my computer lately so Its been really gay, It's still not 100% better but I have to try to post sometime. In under 2 weeks now we leave for Phuket wooohoo cannot wait! Anyway here is a look I did a loong time ago but I never got around to posting it =/      Eyes~ Greens from the 88 Warm Palette NYX JEP Black Bean Face~ It was so long ago but I'm pretty sure it was ELF Fuchsia Fusion Blush Lips~ Nothing eek sorry about that Now onto the (quick) review: The 88 warm palette contains mostly neutral colours which are shimmery or matte. It consists of beautiful warm blues, greens, peach, gold, plum, brown, and quite a few highlighting colour's. I like the shimmery colours a lot more then the matte, I find the matte is very hard to go on, & the shimmery colours apply a lot more smoothly. Too bad most of the peachy shades are matte because I can't get them to g...

 ..::NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Hot Pink & Orange::...  I already own Glow & Natural (As you may know, because I use them alll the time lol), but for as long as I have these I don't think I will be buying any other cream blushes in a long time! So I just hadd to do a review on these 2 babies, I wish I had other brands to compare them to but I think they don't need to be compared to anything else, lol!  These photos here is true to what they look like in the pan. Looks scary, huh? Trust me, if you wanted your cheeks to turn out that colour then you can pile it all on if you could but im not looking to be a clown, haha. I just use a stippling brush, get as little as i can on it and slowly build up to the intensity that I want. This is with one swipe so you can see how pigmented they are, all the flash did was make it look a bit sheerer. Maybe I should have blended them out a bit, I'm not used to doing swatches sorry! lol.  I think these would be great for lipsticks 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...

Sorry for the lack of posting, everyone! I know I always say it but I haven't found any time to get on here & post properly. So the other weekend the bf & I went up to the city for a friends birthday & to do some Christmas shopping. Of course I had to buy some things for myself because where I live there's not much so I have to shop online! I went into gloss cosmetics & had a look around, purchased some of their own brushes which i will include a small review on next post, & found this gorgeous shimmery orange/pink eyeshadow from BYS. I wish i had bought more! Oh well, next time.  Anyway... onto the look.. no flash Eyes- BYS Shimmer powder in Pink Rose 01 I used Face Of Australia e/s in Jasper in the crease with the darkest brown from the 28 neutral palette in the outer-v, of course NYX white pearl for inner corners, Lancome Artliner in Noir & Covergirl Lash Blast. Cheeks-Nyx creme blush in Glow under Mode blush in velvet pink, white pearl as highlight, ...

This is part 2 (& final) of my Essence of Beauty & Eco-tools brush review. (part 1 is here ) ~ Eco-tools ~ I love how they are made from recycled materials & how the case they come in is made from hemp so you know they have been good to nature, lol. I got this 5pc set from eBay for about $10 not incl. shipping.   1. Blush Brush   I know the close ups aren't the best to show it, but i really like the shape of this brush. It is good to deposit the colour onto the apples of your cheeks & then because it is so soft it is great for blending out the colour so your blush doesn't turn out too harsh.  2.Concealer  Compared to the E.O.B this concealer brush is quite wider & a tad bit shorter, which is not so good for precision but for larger areas it works well. In the picture on the right this brush appears to be thinner (although I washed it the night before it may not be fully dried) which allows you to use the very tip of this for depositing concealer directly ont...

  Originally i was going to post a mixed review of Essence of Beauty & Eco-tools brushes but it would be wayy to long so stay tuned for part 2! I got these Essence Of Beauty brushes as a gift with the 88 warm palette on eBay, but you can buy these by themselves for anywhere around US $5 to $12. With these brushes I haven't experienced any shedding what so ever.  Please note that i washed most of them last night so the fluffier ones haven't dried fully. Oh & sorry for some of the not so clear pics!   1.Foundation & conceal  Foundation: I never use flat foundation brushes anymore since I've been using the E.L.F flat top brush, however my first impressions of this was that it felt quite soft & fluffy which would be good for blending as you wouldn't get any streaks. But it is quite flimsy which makes precision harder.I sometimes use it to blend in my concealer if I've applied too much to one area.  Concealer: I like that this is quite small ( compared to...
