Sticks & Stones

Lilpumpkinpie05 or Jackie O, aka Makeup Game On Point on facebook is an amazing MUA on youtube with an awesome, fun personality  and she makes you feel a part of her tutorials. I've recently mentioned her in another recent look but I wanted to do another one specifically for this series. She does some amazing makeup looks but I have recently recreated her Tropical Paradise eye look , which is actually my second attempt since my first one just came out as my same old peacock eyes as I forgot exactly what she did so it turned out the same as my others.  Face | I am still using my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder, and I contoured with my Nars Laguna Bronzer & highlighted with MAC's Cream Colour Base in Pearl & MAC Lightscapade. For blush I wore Bourjois 16 Rose blusher over Nyx's Stick blush in Tulip. Eyes | After priming I used Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in Tenacious Teal all over the lid & along the lower lash line. O...

I've been a fan of watching beauty videos on YouTube such a long time, and recently I've copied a couple of makeup tutorials so I thought I would put it into kind of a mini series that I will occasionally post so I can share my favourite Beauty Guru's. Hopefully it will create inspiration for those who may be looking for someone new to follow. This first installment is an Arabic-inspired look by the beautiful & talented Emma Pickles. You should definitely check her out, she has an awesome accent, to-the-point videos & seems so lovely. I will share the video down below!

Hey lovely ladies Ahh I have so many FOTD's to catch up on, it feels like I haven't posted a proper one in forever! So I will try to post them all close-ish together. I have been doing similar looks lately with bronzed & highlighted skin and "clean" eyes and I've started taking my pictures in different lighting as well. These 2 FOTD's have nothing on the lower lash line which I've been doing a bit more as it makes my eyes look more feline, awake & refreshed. (so I think, anyway!) Stupid hairs in my face >.  ~Products~ Face: Rimmel Wake Me Up + Garnier BB Cream NARS Laguna, MAC Lightscapade, Jordana Coral Sandy Reef blush Eyes:  MAC Painterly Paintpot Stila 'Kitten' [1st half of lid], Makeup Geek 'Sensuous' [Rest of Lid], MUG 'Purple Rain' [outer V], MUG 'Burlesque' [crease].

I bring you a double post of my most recent purple makeup looks using the Bh Cosmetics Day & Night palette, one is a bit lighter & more spring-y & the other is a lot more dramatic. View the colours of the palette here. For this first look I used a Face Of Australia shimmery purple shadestick on the lid which unfortunately caused the shadow to crease. Nevermind!   I didn't really get any other good shots of the makeup so this will have to do. I paired it with baby pink lips by using Nyx Narcissus l/s & Nyx Lala lip gloss. I also think the blush is ELF fuchsia fusion. I look a bit ghastly! Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner, Lashes are Ardell Demi Wispies. This is a more dramatic purple look using Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple as a base, more dramatic lashes & even brighter lips.  Ignore the pose & pout, I'm trying to find a nice angle for my face shape :P // Products// Face: Face of Australia tinted moisturizer ( I don't know why it looks...

Firstly, wow I have finally hit 300 followers! Thank you to all the new guys, plus of course the old ones :) I hope to host my first giveaway sometime in the near future so stay tuned for that! I just have to find some goodies now :)  I loved Laurenbeautyy's Special Occasion Video using Bhcosmetic's Day & Night palette and it was a 'coincidence' that I bought it on sale a few days after, and then I though hey I can actually try it now! Mind you I had forgotten most of what she did in the tutorial so I just played along, trying to keep in mind something along the lines of her look. So now I look back & it is very different, however mine wasn't intended for night time & I wore it to work during the day. (I did use the same colour on the lid & it came out entirely different :S) I still  ~Products~ Photoready Foundation mixture with Avon liquid minerals (please keep in mind these pics were taken in front of a frosted bathroom window which automatically ...

I ordered the Day & Night platte from www.bhcosmetics.com as they were having a sale so I paid $10.50 for this bad boy! (not incl. shipping). You should follow their facebook page because they have so many great specials on all the time!         I received it on Tuesday and I have been using it ever since.. there are so many gorgeous colour combos you can do, sometimes I even do the unthinkable & use the night colours during the day ;) I'm so bad! :P Infact I like to use most of the night colours all the time since they're so purdy but the light pinks will come in handy for the warmer weather.  Using flash so you can see the gorgeous shimmers.. & in natural light so you can see the pigment naturally. The are 30 day colours & 30 night colours with a mixture of mattes & shimmers. Also I think I have found a few Naked palette dupes so stay tuned for that post! (one day, be patient ;)) Some of the colours are highly pigmented, but some are unfortunately not. Ov...
