Another contest entry for Princess Pinkcat's Rock the runway contest ...

So this is my second entry for Princess Pinkcat's "Rock the runway" contest and this one, as you can see, is a lot more extravagant that the last. This time I actually did have a rock star as inspiration. Who better, than Toyah Wilcox??

I found this picture by pure coincidence while looking for a picture of her with mad, crazy, colourful make up - the type of make up she used to wear when she was a hit punk rocker in the 80s! But instead - I came across this. It might be a recent picture of her as an actress instead of a punk rocker, but I think it's totally legit for the runway!

I have to say, this contest entry took me the longest to do out of all of them. Even longer than that Venetian Mask that I did, if anyone knows what I'm on about. That one had loads of dots to put around the design, and I thought that was intricate work. Although it may not seem difficult to do (and probably isn't for those of you who were born artists) but the line design on the forehead took me forever to do! And I used a new special little technique that I've recently learnt (im probably late with it, I always am lol) ;) ... but it still took forever, 'cause I just could NOT do the little swirl bit. So I decided to give up and alter the design a bit. You can tell...

Contest Entry - Rocking The Runway With Princess PinkCat

I was so not in the mood for make up when I woke up this morning. I had a shower, spent some time with the mother (Happy Mother's Day =D) and then I saw myself in the mirror and thought 'AHH! NEED MAKE UP!' haha... so I started playing around with my 120 pro palette, trying to come up with something and created this look:

Since it's kinda jazzy and funky, I thought I'd use it as my contest entry, for Princess Pinkcat rocking the runway contest! =]

EYES:
Barry M Fine Glitter Dust - FGD24 Toffee
120 pro palette - Purple, Grey and Pink
2true Effortless Waterproof Eyeliner - Black

The standard of everyone elses entries are amazing and extravagant so I wanted to keep it simple to show that 'Rocking the Runway' doesn't always mean extravagant... having said that I don't think I'll win coz as I said, everyone elses is so amazing! But I'm glad I entered! PrincessPinkcat was my first ever subscriber so from here on out, I will enter every single one of her contests!! Lol ... This wasn't really my original idea but maybe I'll enter with that later on as she's extended the contest hehe. So for now, this is my entry! =D

Thanks again to PrincessPinkcat for holding the contest, and good luck to everyone who's entered! =D

February's Fabulous Favourites!

February is over!! And thank the Lord for that! I know it's meant to be the shortest month, but so far it feels like it's been the longest! It's actually been a very busy month for me... at uni and at home! And uni exams are right round the corner now, so I'm not looking forward to that either!

But still, a woman can always rely on her make up to make her feel better hehe! So these are the few products I picked out to be my February Favourites! I picked them because I found myself using these products the MOST during the month. Most of these products have actually been in my collection for a while, but I've just recently dug 'em out and started using them a lot!

In order from most favourite to least favourite [both Barry M items are not mentioned in my youtube video but swatches of both are in the picture below]:

1. Lush Bubblegum Sugar Lip Scrub - Makes your lips soooooooooooooooooo kissably soft ;) ... I LOVE it... and it tastes amazing! It's a jar full of sweetness [literally haha]
2. Barry M Lipstick [Number 136] - I love this lipstick so much... I have TWO! One for home and one for my emergency make up kit. Love, love, love it! I never thought I'd like it so much ... but I soooo do! hehe
3. Barry M Glossy Tube Lipgloss [Fabulously Nude] - Great colour, great taste, great product! It's such ashame it's a limited edition!!
4. Miss Wax by Elegant touch Pre-cut eyebrow shapers - Get rid of all the little annoying hairs and doesn't hurt as much as you think it would! Lol
5. Pantene Style Pro V Mousse - Perfect for the long lasting hold; especially for curls and waves! ;)
6. L'oreal Dermo Expertise - I've used this once before but didn't repurchase it until now. Gets rid of make up easily and thoroughly - most of the time =P
7. 2true Glossywear Nail Polish - perfect nail polish when you don't want too much going on but still want a little sparkle ;)

2true Glossywear Nail Polish - Shade Number 2

LUSH Sugar Lip Scrub - BubbleGum
