Sticks & Stones

I am quite late in this post, as January is almost over already but I've wanted to put together a post on my favorite makeup looks that I did last year! Although I still have some that I can't believe I haven't posted yet I will just put up the ones I posted on my blog. At the end I have a few fave products of last year. A collage of a few makeup looks I did in 2012! Sorry it's not well done I don't have photoshop XD ~March 12~ The reason why I'm starting a couple of months in is that I did do a couple before but nothing really stood out until now ;) And I did not pick a fave in every month either.

Oi Oi Oi! On Saturday was Australia Day, better known as "Straya Day" to some (in case you didn't know, we love our slang!) It is that awesome day where you beach it, bbq & drink and have fun with friends & family. This year my brother, his gf & our mate came down to celebrate with us on the long weekend.  So of course I had to make my makeup Aus day themed, although it looks more American & French than aussie because the colours are the same but it was too much effort to draw the union jack onto my eyes :P But I loved it none the less, and I just received these glitters 2 days before! I made sure to blend the colours well, until I added the glitter & couldn't blend them!  Silly me wearing glitter to the beach, as I was in the water and got splashed I got glitter in my eyes (I don't normally wear eye makeup when I go, btw!) but that doesn't matter :) ~Products~ Face: I only wore a light cover of Rimmel Wake Me Up Fdtn & Garnier BB Crea

This challenge has been going around on Youtube for a while & I've wanted to try it for a long time to see how I would go. Although it is harder to verify that you didn't cheat by not videoing it, I'm sure my makeup will hold the truth! So I wanted to do a more difficult makeup look, I've seen some really easy ones! So I went with smoky eyes & red lips.... this shall be interesting!  Hello sexy lady!  Haha it actually wasn't as bad as what I thought.... if that eyebrow was normal & my lips weren't overdrawn it could actually be worn out.... I'm sure some people wear eyeshadow worse than this without realizing how bad it is! I was quite pleased with my blush & contouring, and the fact that my eyeshadow was not everywhere. I did forget about fall out, though!  In case you were wondering I used.. Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil 'Black Bean' Sleek Bad Girl: Black, slate. Bourjois eyeliner as a base for lower lash line. Maybelline Master Precise (I k

I haven't properly posted my NOTW for a while so I've put together quite a few that I have done recently! We have had gel at my work for a little while so I was playing around with it a bit there but the truth was I missed playing with my colours which I did not want to neglect! Ever since I used the cling-wrap method here I've wanted to do it again . Sadly I have to have my nails short for work- I've always had long nails so it sucks for me. =/  Chi-Chi Salon Formula in Material Girl, Sportsgirl Nail It! in Bionic. I hadn't used a shatter polish for a while so I used my Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat polish in 06 Antiqued Gold over the top of Chi-Chi Salon Formula in Hissy Fit. China Glaze Sweet Hook, Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber One less Lonely Girl. My *first* go at gradient nails so it is a mess but I liked the colours together. You can still see my white base & there are gouges out of them and I had sponge sticking to my nails because I stupidly did not wet
