Sticks & Stones

I had been on the lookout for a new gel eyeliner for a while, I've only tried what I believe is more of a cream eyeliner by BYS which did not make me think much of gel eyeliners except they smudged easily and didn't last long, until I came to the realization that I needed to set it with a shadow. Here are the gel liners that were contending for my attention: Essence gel eyeliner in Midnight in Paris; with no Essence near me and it never being available on the Priceline website, not to mention they are apparently being discontinued was a bit of a challenge for me. Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner ; I had heard it took a while to set which I aint got no time for that.... except maybe if I had only used it as a waterline eyeliner... Coastal Scents/ Makeup Geek eyeliner ( Immortal); looks extremely pigmented but I had tried another gel eyeliner before like this that had dried out really fast. Maybelline & L'oreal: I have heard a lot of good things about these..

This post has been the longest time coming! But here we are for the 4th installment of my lipstick collection, nude lipsticks. As this has been a while in the making I may have bought a few new ones since I've put together these pictures. I think my lip colour will be forever growing so it would be impossible to keep this properly updated. Here are all my current nude lipsticks. Most of them look very similar and some are varying shades of nude that probably push the boundaries, but what the hey. L-R.

A light beige colour that is also extremely creamy, can you see the digs on the side of the bullet? It happens a lot to heaps of my lipsticks it is s

Orange lips with light neutral eyes was a favourite look of mine a few weeks ago, sometimes I would even incorporate blue eyeliner into the look as well. I haven't been using my Stila In The Light palette too much lately but at this time I was getting good use out of it.

Hey beauties! As I've mentioned previously, I've changed my hair colour, I have gone darker & more in the violet family rather than red, and I think now my makeup options have been opened up to something entirely better. Not that it mattered to me before about how my eyeshadow/lipstick/blush colours looked against my hair before, but now certain things look a whole lot different. For instance, this bright blue eyeshadow never stood out this much to me on my eyes before. I have also worn red lips and I <3 it a lot more now!  ..Come & find me dancing all alone, to the sound of an enemy's song, I'll be lost until, you find me, fighting on my own...  ~Products Face: Base: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation; Physicians Formula Gentle Cover Concealer Stick ; Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles ; Rimmel Stay Matte Powder Highlight/ Contour: MAC CCB Pearl; MAC Lightscapade; Nars Laguna Blush: Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso Eyes: NYX E/S Base in White , Sleek Eye
