Sticks & Stones

A couple of weekends ago was my besties 21st birthday party, and the theme was summer/tequila sunrise so of course I had to go bright with the makeup! To make it a bit more dramatic I turned it into a black cut crease and tried to make it a little more creative :) I hope you like! ~Eyes~ -120 palette: Red, Orange & Yellow on the lid. -Nyx Black Bean drawn into the crease, & blended out with lots of black. You can't really tell but I blended some blue into the black... I think I blended it away lol. -Nyx White Pearl to highlight -BYS gel eyeliner in the waterline -Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner for the .. eyeliner.. & palm tree (just in case you couldn't tell what it was :) -Nyx glitter e/l in Disco Ball -#74 Red Cherry lashes ~Face/ Cheeks~ -Australis Paparazzi Perfect Fdtn -I'm pretty sure I used MAC peachy keen -Coastal scents 15 concealer palette (darker shades) to contour, set with Nyx Taupe blush  -Some bronzer that didn't work out well lol ~Lips~ N

I ordered the UD Naked palette 2 from Beautybay.com even though it wasn't as cheap as what it is over in the U.S but they had free worldwide shipping for a limited time only, & I would be kickin myself if I missed out as I didn't know how much the shipping would be. However I looked back at the site & it says Free worldwide shipping (but not mentioning limited time) so it must be like that all the time! Plus I don't think I have come across any other sites (apart from ebay which is crazy expensive) that sell urban decay & ship to Australia apart from this one.  If u can see, it was dispatched on the 7/3 and I only received it on the 26/3, But I'm used to everything taking so long haha  It came in a nice big box with plenty of packing... stuff.. lol. sooo pretty! hehe.  Can't wait to play with this & find out different combos :D

These 2 looks are from a little while ago now, god damn it I wish I could keep up with posting.. I want to do some non FOTD posts but its just too hard to find time lol.... anywaay, as the title says these are 2 clubbing looks. Nothing too special or dramatic but I really liked them. - --Look 1--- This is from after the Cup , & as my SO was out of town for a festival, having fun, we decided to have a girls night which is my first one in a while! I just applied more makeup over my day makeup instead of starting over. I got this dress from Ally for $34.95, It is my first cut out dress & it is also a "mullet" style on the bottom.My hair held up pretty well too :) -Nyx Black Bean JEP over the top of my other makeup -Fyrianne loose eyeshadow in Immortal (This is a beautiful black colour that reflects many other colours & is quite glittery, especially when used with Pixie Epoxy) -A bit more Satin Taupe , but really that's all that's different from my daytime

When I was doing this I wasn't thinking of dong anything special with the eyeliner.. as you may have noticed, I barely ever go into the inner corner with it, but today I did & I really like how it turned out, kind of exotic & Arabic looking, hence the name.  I didn't want to do anything too drastic for work with the eyeliner on the lower lashline but after I took these pics I ended up going all the way to the inner corner, which was nice for a change but not a look I'd go for all the time. lol please excuse my hair! I washed it the night before then tied it up as I was getting ready for work so it made it all kinky aha I hope Starryskies wont mind me using her method but it's soo much more easier to explain & visualize. Nyx Jep in Cream Cheese as base on lid, Milk in crease. 1.Nyx Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Nude 2.Sugarpill Loose E/S in Hysterics 3.Nyx Loose Pearl E/S in Purple Pearl 4. Madd Makeup in Make Believe Maybelline Line Allure E/L A bit of Nyx Bla

Last weekend The weekend before it was Cup Day at the Races, one of the days where everyone gets dressed up & has a bit too much to drink, haha. You don't have to go to bet, although I did put a few small ones on though & only won a tiiny bit that didn't make up for anything, ahah. Anyway, with my makeup I felt a bit like someone from the Old Hollywood era, with red lips & neutral eyes. However lashes & eyeliner spiced up the neutral eyes. Warning: Super Posey pics ahead I wont mention it.. but if you see it don't worry I have fixed it since! Awwe bubby girl didn't really want a pic. Didn't really get any good pics of my dress unfortunately, but you can kinda see it here It was white & lacy all over, quite short (I never wear any dresses that short so constantly had my hands & my sides lol) & if you can kinda see, it had a wide frilly collar that went up at the back. I wore it with nude heels although It would have looked good with colou

I mentioned that I finally got me some Sugarpill, & I said I would use them soon! I have used all the colours at least once already, and if I was actually organized I wouldn't have to post them a week later lol. Anyway, I did this not long before washing it off just to practice, I wanted a cut crease but I think the "cut" needs to be more visible lol, either way I like it. These pics are going to go off the page, so click on them to view properly. my fdtn is barely hanging in there lol, after a long day of wearing it. Weird angle but I had to tilt my head up into the light to get a good shot. This is how I wore it during the day, with browns from Sleek Storm & purple on the lower lashline. Sugarpill Goldilux Nyx JEP in Black Bean to cut into the crease & as the E/L . Bourjois E/S Pot it 04 blended into Black Bean Black & Brown from 28 Neutral Palette to blend that black & for the lower lash line. Nyx White Pearl to highlight Red Cherry Lashes in #74 By

Firstly yay I've finally reached 200 followers it feels like it has taken me forever but I had a slow start, thanks to each & every one of you :) Anyway, On this day I wanted to stick to blues, the reason for it is at the bottom. May I say that I'm really proud of myself, as silly as it sounds, because I really like how this turned out, & hope you can see the depth that I tried to create with the colours, like in a nice blue lagoon. You may see some small changes in the pics, the first one is from the very end results, It felt like it needed something extra & that's where the glitter came in handy. Also I added another tone to the lips, although I really like baby pink lips/ cheeks when wearing blues. Nyx JEP in Baby Blue on lid & lower lash line 120 palette Teal on lid over the JEP, lower lash line Dark Blue in crease & outer v Another teal (looks more green then blue) above the dark blue. Originally I had only Black Bean JEP for the eyeliner but went o
