Sticks & Stones

Real Technique brushes by Sam Chapman (One of the talented ladies behind pixiwoo) is available in Australia at selected Priceline stores. I had a look in a few but as far as I know it was available in the pharmacy's only, but it doesn't hurt to ask if. This retails for $9 (I think) in the US but I got mine for $25 which is a price I'd normally pay anyway so its NBD to me. About the brush : It is super soft & fluffy for applying blush. It has a tapered end that is perfect for a light contour, not something I'd replace my contour brush with, however I'd use it for a light dusting of bronzer. As for using it for blush, I apply it on the side of the bristles, that way it is large enough for my cheeks & the blush is distributed nicely. Otherwise it can end up only on the apples of the cheeks, becoming hard to blend. I like the handle on it, it is super sleek and feels nice to hold lol, and the bottom is rubbery and wider at the base so it's able to stand up

I'm so sorry guys, I'm apologizing for the lack of posts again! Soo I got my hair done a couple of weeks back.. mainly coz my stupid roots were showing through haha.. I swear my hair grows too fast! This time she did more balayage through all of it, instead of just a few front sections like before. The only thing I will change next time is to probably just do the base colour through the top sections only to break up the lighter ends. It looks good curled, but there's kinda like a line between the colour when it's straight. Aandd- I hate bleach, my ends feel yucky now & they tangle so easily! My hair is so much more static when I brush it too lol :( Apologizing for the phone pics!  Lipstick is vivaglam nicki in case you're wondering. This is the making I wore for clubbing in the city. Mostly phone pics again sorry! That's better, camera pix :) Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect fdtn MAC dollymix blush All About Glo Bronzer Eyes: Nyx JEP in Black Bean, drawn

Hey guys! These are from a little while ago now, sorry about that!! I think I will have to slow down on posting a bit again... not that I'm posting that much anyways :P I've got to focus on my study a whole lot more... but I promise I will have my reviews coming up from my haul, one at a time!! So these are just some neutral-ish looks from as I said a whiiille ago. Hope you like! Arabic Inspired So this look kinda went with the flow, I would have loved to play around with the liner more, but just adding the white underneath made it feel Arabic. It was such a simple, easy look to do in the morning before work. ~Products~ Makeup Geek E/S: G lamorous (lid, lower lash line) Sensuous (Crease, lower lash line) Lancome Art liner Nyx Milk JEP (under wing) Lips: Nothing, haha I forgot to put something on before taking pictures. A touch of gold This is another quick makeup look, I had a limited time to do it in lol.  ~Products~ Random pigment for lids, similar to Stila Kitten Bronzer in

So of course after purchasing my new products I had to use as many as I could at the same time :P Which was perfect because I bought 1 eye, 1 cheek & 1 lip product from MAC, and I couldn't have cared less if it was complementary or not LOL. Obviously this is not tonight's FOTN, it's from last week :) So we went to Adelaide for the weekend, and after a walk in the city and a quick shopping trip we made a booze run and went back to the apartment for some drinks to catch up with a friend we hadn't seen in a few years. And then we went for a night on the town.   ~Products~ Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation 15 concealer palette Models Prefer undereye concealer Cheeks: MAC Dollymix Blush (Hard to see in the pics but I did apply a bit, just didn't want to go overboard IRL) Highlighter: Models Prefer Illuminator Contour: Nude by Nature Eye Definer Eyes: Nyx Black Bean JEP (creased quite quickly, must have applied a smidge too much, also in waterline) MAC Cont

Although I'm trying to use up old products, that is not stopping me from a-hauling, especially as we flew over to Adelaide for a long weekend, and I did not want to miss out on any makeup opportunities. And we're staying in Perth for a week, but I think I am happy with my finds now. OH- as I was shopping, especially one day with my makeup addicted cousin (Ima bad influence, I got her started.... woopsie ;)) I came to the conclusion that I will be on a no buy from when I get home.. that way I will only focus on what I have. I was buying nail polish knowing I had ones at home that I haven't really used. But again, I'm not able to haul too often. Enough rambling for now, lets get onto the haul!   Inglot I was shocked when I came across Inglot at Rundell Mall in Adelaide... I got so overwhelmed when I was in there I left empty handed but I knew I would regret it if I didn't get anything so I went back: :D I don't know how much it is over in the US, but here the eye

I understand that this day makeup may be too much for some, but in this post I am going to show you how I take my makeup from day to night. There's not a huge difference, but there's a few main factors that can change your makeup from 'work' to 'night-on-the-town'. Depending on how much makeup you like to wear, of course. I don't always have natural makeup for the day though :D In this first pic I understand that it just looks like different lighting (which it is, day time [left] is natural, while night [right] is artificial light). You will probably see in the full face pic the differences. The main things I like to do to change it up is 1 : add more depth with darker colours, & 2 : adding more eyeliner/ mascara or falsies. I only used individual lashes here so it's not a huge difference. And of course, if you wear a tinted moisturizer or a light foundation during the day, you can add a heavier foundation for night time, especially if you are going
