Engagement party makeup: Urban Decay Naked 3

Hey guys! Sorry that once again it has been a while since my last post, I am still working on some assignments that I want to get finished before I become more frequent on here again. Oh and I also can't find my camera cord but I've been taking all my pics on my phone and I'm learning how to move the onto the iPad etc (advice on picture placement for the blogger app please!!). I miss talking to everyone and seeing what you've all been getting up to, and I've said it before and will say again but please follow me on Instagram so we can stay more updated together!

Glammed Up | Royal Blue & Silver Ball Makeup

Hey beauties!
A couple of weekends ago we went to a charity ball called The Ball Of Hope to raise money for mental health & Telethon which is an annual Western Australian fundraising organization that raises money for children with illness, so it was a good cause to get dressed up & help contribute towards that. In fact the Telethon child for this year is a girl from my home town so it felt even more meaningful. It was a fun night, we enjoyed a photo booth that they had where you dress up with props. But of course the fun part was getting ready.

You will see my dress in a moment, I was so excited to get and it got here with one week to spare so I was very thankful for that. With the makeup, of course I wanted it to be glamorous & I took the colour theme for my dress and hoped it wouldn't look too matchy-matchy.

Apologies for the pic heavy post!

 ~Products~

 Eyes: MAC Painterly paintpot (Primer), Maybelline CTT in Electric Blue (Base), MAC Nylon (inner corner, highlight) Inglot 428 (Metallic Blue), MAC Contrast (outer corner). For the crease I used a mixture of colours, although I was never happy with it, primarily I used Charming from the Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette & Urban Decay Tease. For blending I used Dainty from Pretty Rebel. I then did my eyeliner with the Tarte gel eyeliner and above that line, created the glitter liner firstly using Nyx Glitter liner in Disco & setting it with Nyx Silver glitter. Lastly I applied my mascara & the eyelashes I used are Ardell Demi Wispies.

Face: YSL Touche Eclat (center of face) + Nars Sheer Glow (all over),MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Light, Benefit Hoola bronzer, The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer highlighter, NARS Sex Appeal

Lips: Bourjois Levres Contour in #17 I think?, MAC Angel

I curled my hair with a Bed Head clampless curling wand all in the same direction and pulled to one side & pinned in place. I brushed out the curls with my fingers after hairspraying to give them a messy look.

 With my partner, friends & my BFF that I've known since pre-primary school :)

My dress is from www.myballdressau.com, it is so well made & I am absolutely in love with it, hopefully I can wear it somewhere else! I only got it a week before the ball but luckily it didn't need to be tailored because the asymmetrical hemline meant I wasn't tripping over it & it had a tie up back so the bust wasn't too big. If you are ordering a month before an event make sure you pay a little bit extra for a rush order!

My shoes are by "shoezy" from eBay and I loved how they looked with the dress. I went jewelery free because the sequins & shoes were so blingy, but I do wish I wore some 'dainty' bangles.

They also had a photo booth there, lots of fun!

Thanks for looking!
If you were to go to a ball, what would your style be?

P.S I cannot log onto blogger from my phone, all I get is infinite page redirects which is the worst pain in the world. I normally post drafts from my phone so it makes it really hard. Can it be fixed?

MAC Blue Brown Pigment | FOTD

Soo this is a really old FOTD that I posted to my Instagram probably a few months back & also in my MAC Samples post to showcase the gorgeous Blue Brown pigment from MAC. It is full of duochromey goodness with a two-in-one colour effect that you can apply & blend, adding more dimension while cutting out on application time.

So this lip colour is probably a bit too muted out, especially as I am not wearing much blush but something like Revlon's Matte lipstick in Smoked Peach may have been more suited to add a bit more colour to the lips.

Face | Rimmel Wake Me Up + Bourjois Healthy Mix, Rimmel Stay Matte, Nars Laguna, MAC Lightscapade, MAC Pink Swoon
Eyes | Too Faced Shadow Insurance, MAC Blue Brown pigment, Urban Decay Naked 1 Naked {blending}, Virgin {Highlight}, Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner, Maybelline The Falsies, Vau Beauty lashes , Nyx Eyebrow Cake Powder
Lips | MAC Myth lipstick

So I've kept it pretty simple this time with only a couple of eyeshadows & nude lips & barely there cheeks... what would you pair this Blue Brown pigment with?

Thanks for looking as always

Elegant Night Time Smoky Look | FOTN

I loved wearing this on a night out for an elegant smoky eye look, I basically copied it from Lilpumpkinpie05 on Youtube from her Mila Kunis Smoky eye look which I have admired for a while now & I would say it is a relatively easy go-to glam look.
Oh & is any body else having trouble with some photos looking squished when uploaded to blogger through your computer files? Anyway I hope you like this, thanks for looking!

My hair was a bit of a fail, I've recently gotten a new hair straightener that I got through a sale (post coming soon) and was trying to create waves but it wasn't going in my favour but I still don't mind how it turned out, I like the messy look anyway!

Taken before I was finished with the eyelashes, hair & outfit.

Face | Australis Paparazzi Perfect foundation mixed with Garnier BB Cream, The Balm Time Balm concealer in light, Nars Laguna bronzer, MAC Lightscapade highligher, MAC Peachykeen blush
Eyes | First I used tape on the outer corner for a sharper edge, Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean {lid}, Urban Decay Naked 1: Creep {Outer v into crease}, Naked & Buck {blending} Toasted {lid}, Smog {lower lashline}, Naked 2: Verve {pressed with finger on center of lid} Foxy {brow bone} Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese with Urban Decay's Bootycall, {inner corner highlight}
 Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner, Nyx Eyebrow Cake Powder, Maybelline The Falsies mascara, Carie lashes.
Lips | Revlon matte lipstick in Smoked Peach, Nyx Glam Lipgloss Aqua Luxe in VIP (unfortunately this must have fallen out of my bag when I was out! I'm always so paranoid if I bring makeup out I try to make sure it's cheap and easy to rebuy if I need to!)

So I really loved how this turned out and I think it would look so nice for any night time occasion,
I also would have taken an outfit picture if I had decent lighting at night time but it is a tight fitting nude dress with a lace overlay and sort of like a tank-top type sleeves (bad way to describe but you can kind of see anyway).

What is your go-to glam eye?
Thanks for looking!! xx

Copy Cat Makeup // Dramatic Coloured FOTN

Is it fair to say I was "inspired" by Misschievious on Youtube when I pretty much copied her drugstore makeup tutorial? And although I was drooling over the Sleek Lagoon palette she used, I knew I would have plenty of similar colours I could substitute them for. I love using a darker base underneath bright colours for a bright but smoky look, as done in my Jewel Smoky Eye Makeup, as it brings them out differently compared to a lighter base.

And although this was a bored-on-a-saturday-night-playing-with-makeup-look it wasn't a waste of makeup as we ended up going out in the end. Nothing worse when you do your makeup perfectly and then nothing happens!

Ignore the eyelash giving me a lazy eye!

Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation Nude, Rimmel Wake Me Up Soft Beige, Nars Laguna, MAC Lightscapade, Ingot blush #51

Lips: Totally a guess, but I am pretty sure it is BYS Champagne Rain

Slightly altered, same as first pic but contrast upped.

In case you are wondering, I wore the same outfit pictured here, as you can see with the 2nd skirt & the peplum top. I found this perfect for this night, as it had been raining almost all day, but by this time it had stopped so it was actually quite humid so I did not get that horrible hot & sweaty feeling.

As I always say thank you for viewing, all of your comments mean so much to me. I appreciate all of my followers, old & new, so don't be afraid to let me know if you're following me & I will checkout your blog in return! xxx

2x FOTD: Neutral Eyes, Pink Lips

Hey sexy ladies <3
This is another double post this time featuring neutral eyes & pink lips... both the same concept but very different looks. I will always love this combo! There are so many types of pink lipsticks not to have fun trying them out ;)

~Look 1
This day I wanted to define my eyes keeping it fairly natural, and I wanted to try out my Vau Beauty lashes out. And I was in the mood for some bright pink lips so Viva Glam Nicki was the go!

Natural Lighting

~Products~
Face: Nars Laguna, Mac Lightscapade. I can't remember what I wore on my cheeks sorry :( But it is probably Bourjois Blush #16 because it is so light & glowy.
Eyes: Stila 'Kitten',UD Naked1 'Naked','Buck', 'Gunmetal', 'Creep'. Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner.
Lips: Nyx 'Dolly Pink' lipliner, MAC 'Viva Glam Nicki'

I started out with Kitten on the lid and blended Buck into the crease, using Naked to soften it. Using a tapered blending brush, blend Gunmetal right into the crease. I used an angled eyeliner brush to further define it with Creep.  Leave the outer v free of dark colours. Apply Gunmetal to the lower lashline & define the outer half with Creep. Blend Kitten from the inner 3rd & under gunmetal.
Apply liner winging it out & mascara to finish the eyes.

~Look 2
I tried this out from my look book that I got with the Stila 'In The Light' Palette, it could have done with a bit more definition,although I did add a darker colour, it still wasn't anything special. I think it was probably the lower lashline, I should have brought the colour down, maybe?

~Products~
Face: Nars Laguna, MAC Lightscapade, Nyx Cream blush 'Hot Pink', Nyx Blush 'Pinky'.
Eyes: Stila In The Light: 'Kitten', 'Bliss', 'Sandstone' , Feeling lazy so I only used Stila Smudgestick in 'Damsel'. Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner, Essence I <3 Extreme volume mascara.
Lips: Nyx lipliner 'Pinky', Nyx Extreme Lip Cream 'Adis Ababa'.

This look was super simple, blending Kitten across the lid, Bliss into the crease & Sandstone for a hint of definition more precisely into the crease. Winging out eyeliner as usual and applying Damsel into the waterline. I will post a review on this palette soon so keep an eye out!

Lol don't mind my crazy changing hair in those pics!

As per usual thanks for looking!
Have a lovely day xx

First product purchases for 2013

Although I technically ordered a couple of these products before the end of last year, I have received them within the new year with much excitement & unfortunately, a little bit of disappointment. So here are my newest acquired makeup products for the year.


First up, my number one baby at the moment. I have been wanting this for soo long so when it finally came back into stock from www.kissandmakeupny.com I had to buy it. I'm sure most of you have heard about it/seen it/ tried it before but it is everything & more. I don't have too many "high end" products so when I do get them I cherish them. It is the perfect colour, doesn't look muddy & orangey, it has a slight shimmer but nothing to upset the face if you use it for contouring, which it is good for, too.

 www.ozsale.com.au had another China Glaze sale on not too long ago. Unfortunately when I opened the packet I could smell nail polish straight away, & I knew something had gone terribly wrong.
This is the first time ever I have received a product in fault. The last 2 times I ordered nail polish from this website have been fine, but this most likely would have happened throughout the shipping process, although the package had fragile written on it. I also ordered another polish in the same order that I never got, but I messaged them to let them know & they said they would credit my account, no worries. But I am a bit sad that the other ones are tarnished, especially the pretty glitter!
The colours I got were Snow Globe & Celtic Sun. The one that was damaged was Skyscraper & the one I never got was the leather top coat (I needed a new topcoat too, damn it!)

Terry White Chemists often have sale bins where I found these next 2 Maybelline products. They had no testers to have a look at the colours but I just went for it anyway, I am usually an impulse buyer when I'm in a shop! This colour is very pretty but quite frosty, I like to layer it ontop of a nude matte lipstick.

 I also bought the Age Rewind Dark Circle eraser to use as a highlighter under my eyes. Even though I don't have dark circles it is very brightening. It is lighter than my Garnier Roll-on eye concealer which I like. I like the softness of the foam applicator, although it is not hygienic, it is much softer than the Garnier.

Pretty Peony, Dark Circle Eraser in light-medium.

Another order which I completely forgot about were some lashes from Vau Beauty that were on ozsale. I haven't heard of them before so I don't know anything about the quality but I shall let you know! These pairs were $7 each. I haven't tried the feather ones before so I can't wait to try them!

A couple of other items I have received lately was a backup on my St Moriz Mousse tanner & my tanning mitt to go with it. I have also placed an order from cherryculture.com with lots of pretty glitters & a Bourjois order, yay! Oh and another CG one to make up for my last order.

What have been the first makeup products you've bought this year??

Festive Holiday Makeup

I wore this out to my partners work Christmas dinner, & wanted something a bit festive but not using the typical Christmas-y colours. I also knew I didn't want to wear red lips because I wore them out to dinner a few nights before & it faded & just looked awful, and I'd rather not worry about it!

My skin looks photoshopped, but please believe me that it's not!

Yes that is a feather extension poking out, I actually have 5 in my hair but because it's so thick they are always hiding.

There's a spot on my cheek where my bronzer skips over it, which is so annoying!!

 Products
Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation in Nude
Nude by Nature Eye Definer
MAC Lightscapade
MAC Warm Soul

Eyes: Sugarpill Goldiluxe - Lid
MUG Galaxy- right on outside of gold.
MAC Contrast- outer lid. I had to use Nyx's Slide on pencil eyeliner in Sunrise Blue right in the outer V for that hint of bright blue to stand out.
MUG Burlesque- crease
MUG Sensuous- inner crease
MUG Shimma Shimma- highlight
Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner
BYS Lashes- once again they are really cheap quality so you can still see the lash band even with covering it with eyeliner :(

Lips: I had worn off Ulta3 Harem Pink but I added Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle over the top for a creamy pink.

I hope everyone has a merry & safe Christmas! xx
