How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

Imagen
 Sometimes just chucking on a lipstick isn't going to cut it, especially with some formulas that like to make their way over your face, or does that just happen to me? I've found that applying my lipstick this way, using different lip liners & doing it in different layers helps it to stay put & last a lot longer, too. This is not something that I do everyday but when I have time & I'm wearing a bolder lip colour I like to spend a bit more on the lips. 1. Line just outside of your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour if you prefer a fuller lip. Tip: If you're going for a nude lip, use a colour slightly darker than your lipstick. 2. Apply your lipstick of choice. It doesn't matter if you don't cover up the liner completely as we'll be going over that again. Make sure to really press your lips together to work the lipstick in. Tip: Use a lip brush with the first coat which helps the lipstic...

My Nightly Skin Care Routine

Imagen
I posted this when I first started, but my nightly skin care routine has changed soo much since then. I think I have found what finally works for me! I haven't broken out in sooo long *knocks on wood* except for some monthly ones. Also I have been using the same face wash & method for a few months now so I hope it holds out! I remove my eye & face makeup with Garnier Clean Detox Express Cleansing Wipes  Then wet face with warm water. I like to rinse a flannel under hot water (not too hot!) & push it to my skin, so it opens up the pores.  I have only just added this back in but now I massage the Dove Beauty Cream Bar in & wash it off. Onto my amazing face wash- Neutrogena Oil- Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Wash *phew* long name haha, I massage this one in after the beauty bar for a good 2-3 mins. I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a toner & moisturiser.. After I have dried my face I use a cotton bud to remove the rest of my eye makeup (stubborn eyeliner,...

Smokey Green + 88 Warm Palette Review

Imagen
Hey guys! Arghh I've been trying to stay out of this funk of not posting but I've been having trouble with my computer lately so Its been really gay, It's still not 100% better but I have to try to post sometime. In under 2 weeks now we leave for Phuket wooohoo cannot wait! Anyway here is a look I did a loong time ago but I never got around to posting it =/      Eyes~ Greens from the 88 Warm Palette NYX JEP Black Bean Face~ It was so long ago but I'm pretty sure it was ELF Fuchsia Fusion Blush Lips~ Nothing eek sorry about that Now onto the (quick) review: The 88 warm palette contains mostly neutral colours which are shimmery or matte. It consists of beautiful warm blues, greens, peach, gold, plum, brown, and quite a few highlighting colour's. I like the shimmery colours a lot more then the matte, I find the matte is very hard to go on, & the shimmery colours apply a lot more smoothly. Too bad most of the peachy shades are matte because I can't get them to g...

Small Big W Haul + Winter Boots

Imagen
If you're unaware of what Big W is, it is a store in Aus much like K-mart, Target etc. Anyway we went up to the city the other day & pretty much the only shop we had time to go to was Big W. Since Winter is approaching over here for me, I was inspired by Aria @ Make-me up   to go on a boot hunt. Originally I found a pair I liked from the shoe shed but I found these & couldn't justify spending $70 instead of only $30! I also preferred to buy boots in the store so I could try them on and then if they didn't fit I'd have to send them back blah blah all that mucking around so I found these & I quite liked them I also had time to have a quick look at the cosmetics, & lucky for me there were quite a few specials so I got this Rimmel Lipstick (My first Rimmel item =)) & CG Lipstain (Which I had wanted for agess & since it was about $6 cheaper I had to get it) & Also 2 FOA items- Impact-full Volumising Mascara & Blush in Outback Primrose. not the...
