Youtube Tutorial - Sexy Sultry Navy Blue Look - My Birthday MakeUp

Hey guys!


Yet another make up tutorial today, and this one's a LOT more 'dressier' than some of my other recent ones. But hey, you gotta mix it up right? Hehe


This is the look that I wore on my birthday to go out with a couple of friends for dinner and drinks. I really hope you guys like this look - personally I LOVE it. Thought I probably love it so much because I lurrrrrrrrve purples and blues together and I'm addicted to navy at the moment - it seems to be a very popular colour this year for autumn/winter.


I thought I'd share a small tip on how to get your eyeliner to last really long with you in the video as well ;)

Review: Maybelline New York Falsies Mascara

Information on back of packaging:

MORE VISIBLE LASHES FROM CORNER TO CORNER. GET A FALSH LASH VOLUME LOOK EVERYDAY. 

Discover the new Falsies mascara from Volum' Express, for a false lash volume look.

The Pro-Keratin & Fibre enriched formula attaches to lashes you didn't know you had and creates a false lash look of thicker and longer lasghes.

Our patented Spoon Brush fans out lashes and ensures generous product deposit. Our unique flexible stem helps build volume without clumping.

RESULT: FALSE LASH VOLUME. FULL SET OF VOLUMINOUS LASHES - CORNER TO CORNER. NO CLUMPS.

I didn't mention the flexible wand in the main review because I didn't find that it affected the way it made my lashes look - and I certainly don't see the relationship between a flexible wand and no clumps. Do you understand that theory? I would think that the formula, amount of mascara you apply and HOW you apply it would affect the amount of clumping you would get - but hey that's just my opinion.

Thanks for reading and I hope this was helpful

Miscellaneous: Pointless visits to uni, new weekly swimming vow and NEW HAIRCUT! =D

This week has been a busy week for me. I actually woke up on Monday, annoyed that I had to go into uni to sort out some stuff - like really, my university is so damn unorganised! I got my results about a month later than I should have and I've only JUST been registered for my modules that I've chosen to take this year, which start this coming MONDAY! But it's all sorted now so I'm happy! =D


Tuesday I decided to go for a swim because I hadn't been in a while and I really really really love to swim, so now I've made a vow to start going on a weekly basis. I used to go every week without fail, before I started uni but now I've decided to go again! Yay! =D

This is where I go for my swimmin' =]

This is what I look like after I've had a swim ... attractive no? HAHA

On Wednesday, once again, I decided (stupidly) to go to uni. This time I had to go to a different campus because I had to pick up my NUS Student Card - I travel an HOUR AND A HALF and the bloody office that I have to collect it from is SHUT... even though they have a massive sign on their door saying 'Open from 10am til 4pm) and I got there and 1pm! Another great example of my uni being undeniably stupid unorganised!


Today I got my haircut! YAY! I decided to change my usual side fringe that I think I've had for like... EVER... to a full fringe. And... I LOVE it! =D ... I love my hairdresser... she's amazing... and she's probably the only person I trust with a pair of scissors near my hair! Seriously... I barely trust myself to cut my hair!! Lol ... I also got a great ELF package today that I order a couple of days ago. Click here to watch the haul video! =]


No plans for tomorrow yet, but I'm sure I'll find something to do. After all... I have to show off my new hair cut now haha


Thanks for reading,

Youtube Tutorial - Naked Palette Tutorial #3 (Using Sidecar)

Right so, in my opinion, Sidecar is probably the hardest eyeshadow to comprise a look with from this palette. It's incredibly glittery, a pretty light colour and can't really be used as a crease colour... but I think I did pretty well... right? hehe

EYES:

- E.L.F Studio Eyebrow Kit - Dark

- Urban Decay Primer Potion

- Urban Decay Naked Palette - Sidecar, Darkhorse, Hustle, Naked, Sin 

- Urban Decay Dual Ended 24/7 Eyeliner (comes with Naked Palette) - Zero and Whiskey

- Maybelline Falsies Mascara

LIPS:

- GOSH Velvet Touch Lip Primer 

- Barry M Lip Liner - #6 Chocolate

- Urban Decay Pocket Rocket - Max

FACE:

Youtube Tutorial - Jennifer Love Hewitt Inspired MakeUp Using UD Naked Palette

Howdy!


This look is based on the beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt and her make up in her hit TV Show 'Ghost Whisperer'. I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of her show and I do think she is one of the most beautiful women, EVER. 


Her make up on the show is normally rich with bronze/copper colours with shimmer. It does seem like she only uses one colour for her lid and doesn't use a separate colour in her crease, so I did just that and tried to layer different bronze and copper colours to make a 'statement' eyelid colour. Layering seems to be the key for this look.


So, wanna see what products I used?
Here they are:
EYES:
- E.L.F Studio Eyebrow Kit - Dark 
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- MAC Paint Pot Indianwood
- Urban Decay Naked Palette - Half baked, Smog, Darkhorse and Virgin
- MAC Eye shadow - Coppering (Veluxe Pearl)
- MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack
- Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner - Zero
- Maybelline Falsies Mascara


LIPS:
- Vaseline
- NYC Ultra Last Lip Wear - 413B Rose Gold
- E.L.F Mineral Lip Gloss - Sorority Girl


FACE:
- Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 - #5 Honey
- MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer - NW35
- GOSH Pressed Powder - #03 Warm Sand
- MAC Mineralise Skin Finish - Comfort
- MAC Blush - Peachtwist


BRUSHES/TOOLS:
- Fraulein Eyebrow Brush
- MAC 239
- MAC 217
- MAC 263
- Inglot 28PO
- Revlon Foundation Brush 
- Revlon Conealer Brush
- Fraulein Powder Brush

Youtube tutorial - Spiced Neutral - Using Urban Decay Naked Palette

I know the Urban Decay Naked Palette is all about being neutral and natural with your eye make up, but what's the harm in spicing it up by adding some bright eyeliner and bold lips? ... Well, personally I don't think there's any harm in it! ;)

This is the look that I was wearing in my contest video and it was requested - along with a bunch of other looks using the Naked Palette. I figured this was a good place to start since I used the Naked Palette. But there will be plenty more tutorials using the Naked Palette, so if you don't like this one because it's too "un-neutral" for you then keep your eyes open for those! 

You can however, just simply use exactly the same eye shadows from the palette and instead of using the blue eyeliner use a black or brown one to actually keep it neutral... and then go with pastel pink/peachy cheeks and lips! Perfect for school!

LUSH Storage!

So... it hasn't been very long since I've started buying stuff from LUSH Cosmetics but my collection has grown over the little time that I have. I have many favourites from LUSH and I used to keep it in the bags that LUSH provide (y'know, the little yellow ones?) and shove it all into a little box. But, now I have a much better way of storing my LUSH goodies!

Yes, this is a fruit bowl. But when I saw it (which was actually by accident) I instantly thought of my LUSH stuff.  It's perfect! It's deep, and really quite big so it can store loads of LUSH stuff, if you're like me and just can't limit yourself to a few items when you visit them. And it's orange... so I HAD to by it!! Lol ... You can tell I love the Creamy Candy Bath stuff huh? Lol

The temperature's dropping so find your fruit bowl, get some LUSH goodies, run yourself a long, hot bath and relax - take time to organise your thoughts AND your LUSH stuffs.
