Sticks & Stones

*exhales after saying long title* :P Anyhoo, the other day I had a look in a chemist that I barely ever go into & I saw that they had a huge display of Bourjois! So of course I went over & swatched about 20 different products onto my hand baha. They also had some of the Covergirl Lip Perfection colours but not a very huge colour selection. & then lastly as I went up to the counter I looked in the bargain bin & they had some really nice polishes for $5!! The bag was free when you spent $30+ on Bourjois. Bourjois: Smokey Eyes in Rose Vintage. Blush- 16 Rose.  Quick Thoughts: I wish I had bought a different colour from the smokey eyes e/s because I found these are preeety similar to UD Virgin, Sin & Hustle (not exactly the same, but in the same group) &  I'm always looking for different colours. But for $28 I will be getting some use out of this, lol. But as for the blush.. I looove it so stinking much! It actually smells like roses, I'm going to have to ge...

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...

I suppose not everybody likes a lot of drama for in the day time... but if you want that without going too OTT I like to do a brown smokey eye. For this I used the (surprise, surprise) Naked palette. I taped the edges to get that sharp look to make it a little bit more dramatic.   Of course this post wouldn't be complete without a few closeups. Eyes: NYX JEP in slate on lid UD Naked : Sin - Inner Lid. Hustle - all over the rest of the lid. Buck - Crease. Blended out with Naked . Toasted added on top of buck. Lower Lashline A little bit of Darkhorse in the outer corner. Virgin to highlight UD Whiskey E/L in waterline. Black Bean for top E/L Cheeks- NYX peach blush Lips- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Tokyo (I applied lip balm just before but didn't blot it enough so its not quite matte) Question: I haven't done a picture tutorial in a while, would anyone be interested for this look?? Even though y'all are totally more talented then me :) Thanks for looking, hope y...

Geez I need to get more creative with my titles haha. This was actually from last week, I took a break from the naked palette & went back to using NYX pearl pigments. This is just a simple look using Oro, Walnut & Nude.  Since I couldn't take any decent full sized pics, why not take a million of different angles haha. Oh these were taken before my eyebrows & my face were done.  On one eye I used Pixie Epoxy but honestly it makes it harder the blend the eyeshadow so I went without on the other eye & found that I didn't really need it with these pigments. Oh & I'm pretty sure I used UD Zero eyeliner. L-R; Oro, Walnut, Nude Well I may as well include another recent look. I just wanted a shimmery e/s on the lid (Kitten) with a hint of definition in the crease, & black winged eyeliner with gold on top of it. Oh yuck this isn't such a nice pic after all.. Ignore my mouth being open in a weird way haha. Oh & my hair is soo poofy here =/ first close ...

lol at another lame title. Hope everyone had a good weekend!! I had my first baby shower to go to on Sunday arvo which was heaps of funn :) Anyway I'm sorry that this is another Naked look, & there are a few more to come then I will give it a break for a while.. or I may just space out the posts :) I also feel the need to go back to colour before it gets warmer! Silly smile :P It looks like I cut my hair short!! But I didn't which is obvious in the first pic it was just sitting that way. On 1 eye I placed the black a bit too low, & the eyeliner turned out thicker but oh well. Used Stila palette on the left. EYES:  Stila Kitten [lid, lower l/l] Black [outer v + crease] UD Smog [crease on top of the black, lower lash line] Lightest colour [to blend crease] UD Virgin [highlight] Maybelline liquid e/l Cheeks: probably Nyx Peach blush Lips: Mac Hue L/S with Nyx Sugarpie L/G Oh & since its (kinda) on the subject of the title, just wanted to update with a picture of the ki...
