Sticks & Stones

Ever since getting all of these MUG shadows I have needed a Z palette because it gets so damn frustrating opening the little packets each time haha. YAY that's taken care of. I also wanted to try one lipstick & one more eyeshadow.. for now... (Disclaimer: paid for everything with my own monies, not sent for reviewing) As always great customer service, still the average ~2 weeks for it to arrive to me though, but that happens when you're on the other side of the world.  My newly filled Z palette, & the lipstick in the box it comes in. What else can you spy in this picture? This palette is meant to hold 29 shadows in, I think? I swear I read that somewhere, but now that I look it up I can't find it, lol. I think I only have room for 5 more lol, which means I can fit in 27.  The case is made out of what feels like a strong cardboard with a magnetic base, and has a plastic window so you can see what's inside. It feels really sturdy. These pans are magnetic so they s

I wasn't sure what makeup I wanted to do on the weekend for a "Barbie & Ken" themed party, but I remembered an older makeup look where someone said I probably looked like a barbie haha so I pretty much just copied that, so they are very similar. I did like the shape of this one a lot more, though.  I also did my friends makeup for that night :) I fixed the lipstick up after these pics lol.

Hey guys! This is just a look from last week where I used darker blues & greens. I have wanted to do this combo for a little while with my makeup geek eye shadows and it came out a little "deep sea mermaid"-y to me, haha. And it's nice & smoky for those rainy days. ~Products~ Face: I am still using up older face products! This while take me a while but I'm not going to buy any more foundation until its gone (unless I find something cheap then I will buy it but not open it lol) Eyes: Makeup Geek E/S: Sea mist (Middle of lid) Envy: Inner & outer eyelid Corrupt: Crease Shimma Shimma : Highlight Smashbox duo cream eyeliner Lips: Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle. & how I had my nails last week. I basically copied this colour combo from someones look on beautylish because I have wanted to use this blue on my fingernails for a while. All it involves is painting your base colour, and then dabbing a scrunched up piece of clingwrap that has another colour on (

Go Charlotte, It's your birthday! Yes, I finally turned the big 21. (that's what I said about my 18th, feels like yesterday but its already flown by). I had some friends around for drinks on Saturday night  and on the night of my birthday (Tuesday) we went out for dinner with the family. I suppose nothing else has changed except now I am actually classed as an adult (How scary!! :P) since I've been able to legally drink & go to clubs since I was 18. But now I can go to the US and do it all as well! To the makeup.... even though the drinks was pretty casual I wanted to go all glam with the makeup. As you do ;). I thought I would stuff it up but I didn't, woohoo! My close up pictures were taken before redoing my eyebrows & foundation. After applying primer, start with a thin brush & black cream/gel eyeliner, drawing the top line just above the crease following the crease curve, and then wing it out & join it to the lashline. Fill in all except the inner co

 I did this makeup for a friends party 2 weeks ago and I just wanted something glamorous (the theme was beauty & the geek so you know what I went as ;)) & lately I've been obsessed with highlighting the middle of the lid, I'm sure you'll see in many upcoming posts!  When I first saw the inspiration pic (I will post it down below) I knew exactly which main eye shadows I wanted to use which is why I really wanted to do it hehe. So without further adieu.. Eeep, with these falsies because they're so thick, you can easily see the mistakes. I think its just the way they're sitting although I did try to push them up. I look like a bitch! Haha I'm sorry :). When I have to take pictures at night the lighting in the bathroom is the best for not using flash but I have to look up to the light.

So originally this was meant to be a bright, cheerful sunset... then I added too much of a colour, thought I had ruined it, but it actually turned out ok... does this happen to anyone else?? lol. But I went ahead with a step by step anyway just for the sake of it. If I left out the black to begin with it would have probably turned out a whole lot brighter. I used all Makeup Geek eye shadows... here is the review & swatches for them! Read on if you want to see how I did this. Also another pic heavy warning!  Apply your primer and a white base all over and underneath. I used Nyx JEP Milk .  Apply Razzleberry to the lid with a flat shader brush. Don't worry for now about it looking messy, that'll get fixed up as you go along ;)   Then with a deluxe crease brush apply Mandarine to the crease blending into the lid colour. Above that blend Chickadee, going into the inner corner a little bit.  Repeat steps 2-4 again until you have reached your desired intensity. Blend Chickadee
