Sticks & Stones

Hi dolls! The other week I was wanting to play with some of my purple eyeshadows. I had a vision of pairing it with a pop of pink in the center of the lid & peaking out from the edges of the purple. This is what I came up with & I hope you enjoy it.  Products Eyes: Firstly after priming with the Smashbox Photo Finish lid primer I applied the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Inked in Pink to the center of the lid & Nyx Base in White to the inner & outer corners, meeting in the crease. Over the top of the pink base I used MAC's Swissh eyeshadow, and in the outer corner & going into the crease MUFE #92 & also adding it to the lower lash line. I also added MAC Parfait Armor into the inner corner blending it up into the crease. I applied the highlight which is from the Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette in Dainty & then blended Totally Fetch, a hot pink above where #92 ended. I finished off with Kat Von D Trooper eyeliner & a few coats of mascara.  Face:...

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...

Are you ready to see the most beautiful purple ever!? I wanted to pair my beeautiful inglot shadow with maybelline's color tattoo in painted purple, since they paired up lol :P I also wanted to show you how badly it (color tattoo) applies :( So since I haven't done one in a while I thought I may as well do a step by step yayyy.

After priming your lids, apply your base, I used Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple. (mehh hardly showed up! This is why it's just a base ;))  2. Pat your fave purple eyeshadow onto the lid. This is Inglot E/S #439 that has a slight bluish tint to it.  3. Blend the edge using windshield wiper motions. 4. Apply Hysterics to the crease.  5. Soften the edges by blending with ...

When I was doing this I wasn't thinking of dong anything special with the eyeliner.. as you may have noticed, I barely ever go into the inner corner with it, but today I did & I really like how it turned out, kind of exotic & Arabic looking, hence the name.  I didn't want to do anything too drastic for work with the eyeliner on the lower lashline but after I took these pics I ended up going all the way to the inner corner, which was nice for a change but not a look I'd go for all the time. lol please excuse my hair! I washed it the night before then tied it up as I was getting ready for work so it made it all kinky aha I hope Starryskies wont mind me using her method but it's soo much more easier to explain & visualize.

So I actually received it last week, by 'It' I mean the Inglot prize from Amalia which consists of 3 concealers & 2 lipsticks in a palette. Yayy my first Inglot products! & if this is anything to go by, I can't wait until the day I buy some of their eyeshadows! Amalia sent them to me with the palette empty & the products separately in plastic. When I first swatched them they felt extremely creamy, & maybe a bit melted (who knows, it came from the sunny U.S to winter in Aus so that may have affected it) but now I can tell they are just extremely creamy!! I have used them everyday since I've received them & they apply so smoothly & last all day!! (well not quite all day, I haven't tested them that far)         & for the lipsticks... gorgeous colours! the 1st one is more cherry & the other one more blue-based. I haven't actually used the 2nd one yet which I must! Only bad thing is that I cannot take this palette in my bag with me for...

So it may not be the most dramatic smokey eye, but I wore it to work but didn't go out so i think it was dramatic enough for that! lol. I was mostly inspired by this Kim Kardashian tutorial by pixi2woo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kfPXeol3OM  The lashes are nothing special, just cheapies from ebay that i cut in half & really liked the look, got told it looked natural so i think i shall be using them more often!! Also i finally got DUO glue, i was using Ardel before & i had a reaction, so hopefully this works out! Otherwise i will be sad :( lol So sorry, getting to do the reviews! I haven't had much time to come on & write a long blog but i will definitely get around to it after the holidays. Thanks!! =) Oh & a shout-out to my gorgeous cousin Amy because a long time ago she requested a purple look but I hadn't liked any purple looks enough to post recently! products list after jump =)  Cheeks~  NYX creme blush in Natural under E.L.F blush in Peachy Keen D...
