How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

 Sometimes just chucking on a lipstick isn't going to cut it, especially with some formulas that like to make their way over your face, or does that just happen to me? I've found that applying my lipstick this way, using different lip liners & doing it in different layers helps it to stay put & last a lot longer, too. This is not something that I do everyday but when I have time & I'm wearing a bolder lip colour I like to spend a bit more on the lips. 1. Line just outside of your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour if you prefer a fuller lip. Tip: If you're going for a nude lip, use a colour slightly darker than your lipstick. 2. Apply your lipstick of choice. It doesn't matter if you don't cover up the liner completely as we'll be going over that again. Make sure to really press your lips together to work the lipstick in. Tip: Use a lip brush with the first coat which helps the lipstic

Pin-up MU ft. Kate by Rimmel & Maybelline Master Precise

 I have some products/ looks lining up & I have used 2 of them in this look to kill 2 birds in one stone, ha.
I have been searching high & low for these Kate lipsticks every time I see a Rimmel display & finally found them, but only chose one colour, so next time I think I want to buy a few more.
Also I have been wanting to try a new liquid eyeliner in a while, so I went with the Maybelline Master Precise e/l because the title is exactly what I wanted, haha. Anyway...



If I had more time I would have made my hair a bit nicer, but I had just washed it the night before and it wouldn't stay in place, plus I had to finish getting ready for work.


 Products
28 Neutral Palette for the eyes
Maybelline Master Precise e/l
Nyx milk JEP on waterline
Falsies would have been nice but I didn't want to make it too much for work.
CG Lashblast Fusion

Blush is Face of Australia in Outback Primrose.


The Lips
Kate by Rimmel in 09
I did use a lipliner, but it wasn't the sharpest so it kinda made the lipstick look like it was bleeding... but I used Nyx Bloom l/l & it matched pretty much perfectly. Also it last all morning, so about 5 hours I think that was mainly thanks to the lipliner, filling in l/s with a brush, then blotting & reapplying from the bullet.

This is a really gorgeous dark pink slightly reddish lipstick,as I said it lasted for quite a while but it depends how you apply it. I have a few similar colours but this is the most burgundy-y colour of what I have.

The Eyeliner
Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner
 As you can see, the tip is verry fine, which is really good for drawing little pictures with your eyeliner (as shown in the ads) It is good to build up with a thicker line if you need too. I found this lasted really well all day, with no flaking or smudging as I have read in some reviews. In fact, I had to rub over it with a remover wipe a few times before it budged.
 However I didn't really rub my eyes, so I should test this out when I have hayfever haha. It also sets pretty quickly, so if you accidentally touch straight after it wont smudge.
Practiced my doodling... but not a very good one haha but you can see that you could do all sorts of things with this eyeliner.

I got the Kate lipstick for 9.95 from Priceline & The Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner for 7.95 (originally 12 I think) from Big W but depending on where you live the prices will be different. I recommend both of these products if they are what you are looking for!

Thanks for looking!

Sorry this is a bit late, as everyone is already out of the Christmas mode as it comes to NYE! I didn't want to leave it any later, so this will be my last post for 2012. Can't believe the year is coming to an end, it went by so quickly, feels like just yesterday I was getting ready for last NYE. So yeah, here is my Christmas Eve & Day Makeup. Christmas Eve I had been wearing very similar makeup all day for work, so I just touched up my foundation with a bit of Garnier BB Cream, added more blush & fixed the eyes.   I like how warm toned this picture turned out.  Quick Product Breakdown~ Cheeks: MAC Pink Swoon Eyes: BH Cosmetics Day & Night: Gold [inner lid], bronze [lid], shimmery taupe [crease] Lips: MAC Myth with a coral ligloss over the top [hadn't re-touched it for a few hours so it's worn off a fair bit]   My OOTN, this sequined top is by Ally fashion & is actually sheer so I wore a bandeau bra underneath. I felt it was nice & Christmassy :) I

Stila After Glow Lip Colours | Review & Swatches

This post is as I promised in my Stila Haul Post   I wanted to do the review before I go away especially as they are limited edition & I have no idea how long they will be around for! The Stila After Glow Lip Colours are not really lipsticks, not really lip stains but like a jumbo lip pencil with a balmy, lipstick-type texture. Something that makes them different to other lip products are that they glow in UV light, which is what suckered me into them in the first place. Although I don't go clubbing as often as I used to, this would make for a nice surprise once the UV lights go on! I was going to have to wait to take a pic under black light but then I remembered that I had a UV light that was in an "invisible pen set" many years ago so I could test it out sooner rather than later.  Packaging: Black chubby stick-like wind-able pencils, with writing on tube corresponding to the colour of the lipstick that also glows. Texture: They apply smoothly like a lip pencil &am

Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Moisturizer

Do you ever find you have never heard of a certain product or brand before and then as soon as you buy it, it pops up everywhere? This is what happened after I bought the Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Moisturizer, after finding reviews on Makeup Ally of their different moisturizers I chose one that seemed to be suitable for me.  This is the perfect daily moisturizer & I would think it would be just as beneficial for combination or dehydrated skin, as it applies like a very light lotion but still feels moisturizing without being greasy. It would be perfect to wear under foundation if you happen to be short on time and cannot wait ~10 minutes for it to sink in so you can do your thing afterwards.  In the ingredients list above you can see Hyaluronic acid is one of the main ingredients. This is actually found just under the epidermis (skin) which nourishes & increases water content to the skin by attracting water. Using this moisturizer would replace what dehydrated skin is lackin
