Sticks & Stones

Also in my last haul I bought Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation- mainly after seeing Tanya from Pixi2woo on youtube wearing it, and by the sound of it. As I am still trying to use up my old stuff I've been testing this out here and there so it wont be a lifetime before I'm actually wearing it daily. I'm sorry for my pics being taken in different lighting as well as it will change the colouring.  Packaging: This is in an attractive glass bottle with a pump top which will always be a +++ in my books. It is very easy to control the amount that comes out. Product: Has a thin(ish) & spreadable consistency, and has light- medium coverage which is buildable. As the name & the aim suggests it has a dewy finish. Claims: I have to agree with what it says on the bottle. I like how it makes my skin look and how it feels on the skin, particularly because it adds moisture onto my skin. It may not be good for someone with oily skin, however, because that is the last thing they ne

I have been an avid fan of Too Faced Shadow Insurance for the biggest time, before I seriously got into makeup I don't know how I could have lived without it. Before TFSI I tried L'oreal Decrease & because I didn't know any better it worked alright. I've only tried a few over primers (Australis Eyeshadow Primer, Face of Australia matte & shimmery eye primers) but I could never stray away from my love. When I was hauling last time I came across the Essence line & thought I'd give the primer a go. Only because I'd like to have a reliable backup that I could places with TFSI from time to time (my first TFSI did last for 2 years, though). Packaging: Essence I <3 Stage (EI<3S) Eyeshadow base is in a plastic bottle with a doe-foot applicator. It has 0.13 fl.oz/ 4ml of product, which is surprising because TFSI is 0.35 oz/ 11g. The only downside with the packaging is that it would be harder to get all the product out towards the end, unlike being able

Although I didn't picture dolls when I was doing my makeup this night, I suppose looking back at the pics with how my eyes were lined, my falsies, my high-necked lacey dress & my extremely false-looking smile it would appear that I did lol. So I thought why not name it that, then lol. CSB, right? :) I thought so. I did this look for my friends birthday, I really only wanted to have big, dramatic winged liner but somehow it doesn't look how dramatic I pictured it to be, lol. Ahwell! See, I look creepy here don't I??? ~Products~ Australis Paparazzi Perfect Fdtn in Nude 15 concealer palette MAC Dollymix blush Stila Kitten E/S on lid Urban Decay Naked & Buck in crease BYS Gel eyeliner MAC contrast e/s on top of eyeliner Prestige Brow highlighting pencil... illuminating side in waterline.

*Ahem* Yes this another late FOTD.. about a month late woopsie! Winter is coming to an end here, the weekends are becoming summery <3 yay. But this past week it was raining & cold as hale but looks like its going away. Soon I'll be ready for summer and everyone else will be getting ready for winter lol, damn being in a different hemisphere. But I will probably want to wear heavier makeup just like I've been inspired by summer makeup lol.  Anyways, I hope y'all like this look. It's just a nice light, brown smokey eye that's nice for daytime. Products: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk (although the name on the lid states otherwise lol) UD Naked 2: YDK Busted I think I also used a touch of snakebite in the crease too, Blackout Bootycall Then I used PP as a liner as well And BYS Gel liner on the waterline & blended into lashline with blackout. Cheeks: ahh can't remember but since I had only bought a few with me.... it's probably my peach

Welp, the title says it all haha. I mentioned this in my Skincare routine post , but is it so weird that I want to rave about it? No, I don't think so lol. I have tried maany wipes before, but nothing seriously compares to these babies. Removing your makeup at night is just as important as wearing it so you needa find the right ones, 'specially if you like to go without cleansing.  I have used them once before, but when I went to buy them again they didn't have it in for ages. And lo-and-behold, I go in one day and they're backk! Which I was so happy about, and I think they were only changing the packaging. As you can see it's for dry sensitive skin. Most wipes can leave your face feeling tight afterwards but this does not. I can go without using my face wash & moisturizer for a little bit, whereas usually I don't want to leave my skin without them.  It's hard to see, but these wipes are very 'moist' (I'm sorry, I know heaps of p

A few weekends ago we went to a masquerade ball. Of course I wanted to do big, dramatic makeup for it lol. It was a really good night... when they started playing good music lol. The dress code was meant to be strict but there were quite a few people in short club dresses and people without masks... which is not what a masquerade ball is about! lol. Anyway, apart from that, it was reallly hot in the ball area and because my mask was tucked into my hair it was hard to take it off without my eyes smudging lol.  Before changing:  Products: Australis Paparazzi Perfect fdtn Coastal scents concealer palette Nars Orgasm Nude by Nature Eye Definer- contour Nyx Chrome White E/S- Highlighter TFSI Nyx JEP Black Bean- Cut into crease, outer lid, lower lash line.

Its been a while since I've posted my skincare routine/ products and as you can imagine a few things have changed since then. So if anyone is interested in what I use continue on! Please note: My skin is dry/dehydrated & I get the occasional pimple. Ever since getting a series of facial peels a few years ago pimples are a rare occasion these days. However I still have quite a bit of scarring & redness. Morning: Splash with cold *water* only! Rosehip oil/ DMK Beta Gel (healing serum) <--- well honestly I need to buy more, but if I had it I would use it lol. But I am planning to buy the Beta Gel when I feel like spending the money. Moisturizer: DMK Biogen C Cream with Herb & Mineral Mist. You have to use the mist with DMK moisturizers because it pulls the cream transdermally into the skin in order for it to work. I love the mist anyway, It has the same uses as a makeup setting spray or rosewater mist, except it draws the product into the skin cells. Night: Remove ma
