Color Crazy *makeup Look*

Hi everyone ^_^
Just a quick apology for my absence, there has been allot of stuff going on for me at the moment and I didn't have the inspiration to do anything but today I felt a little better and decided to brighten myself up with some nice in your face colors and try a bit of eye color blocking ha!

I really dont know if anyone else would wear this but I know I would ^_^ but I will post here anyhoo and see what you all think ^_^ I  know it's bright but come on its getting warmer in this drizzly litte country so lets enjoy it XD


 As you can see VERY bright ^_^ I adore this blue hehe I used to wear it on its own with just mascara  (which by the way looks stunning) :3 but I wanted to add some other colors to go with it!


I know I made a mess of my lashes lol I didnt wait long enough for it to dry before I blinked and I made the consistency a biiit too dribby Gah! XD



Lol though I would show this, the massive splodge of dried liner on my had hah its soo prettyyy I want to just cover my face in this blue lol.

Now this liner is made using illamasqua sealing gel so has some insane longevity to it, hence why I have to whip out my makeup remover boss to remove it *imagine epic meal time voice >_>*
I might write a review on this stoof as it really does compete with the high brand makeup removers in my opinion!

so onto what I used!

Upper eyeliner:
Illamasqua Sealing Gel
Sugarpill loose eyeshadow (Royal Sugar)
Subsitute, any blue eyeshadow and small amoutn of water, won't last as long but will create similar effect,
also the sleek eau la la liners in blue moon and Cobalt blue are very nice blues and would work just as well though they arent the same color ^_^


Water line eyeliner:
Sleek Eau La La Liner (moulin rouge)
Barry M dazzle dust (99 Bright indigo)

If you want to know how I did this look I will try to explain ^_^

First off I squeezed a small blob of the sealing gel onto the back of my hand and used a small angled liner brush to pick up a small pile of the sugarpill shadow and mixed them together making sure they combined well, then made a nice thick winged eye over my lid,
after this I took my sleek liner and lined my water line creating a little flick on the inner corner, then took a tiny amount of teh barry m dust and smudged it just underneath to add depth, added my mascara and done!

I hope you liked this look and leave any feedback or suggestions in the comments!

I am also currently working on a facebook page for this blog as to better keep updated on people who bother with it ^_^

If you need to contact me use my email address listed in my profile!

See y'all Soon ^_^

Cosmic Dust *Makeup Look x2*

Hey!
This look is a dark smokey petrol colored look to get the jist of it ^_^
I based this off another makeup look I had seen a while ago and I made a few changes but if I ever find that look again I will link to it!

The products I used in this look are varied some are uk highstreet and some are not, however some of the other things I used CAN be duplicated in the uk and I will tell you about those its just that I dont have those versions or I can't find mine ^_^

I love how odd and metallic this look is, it literally glistens in person it's awesome and suuuper easy to do! Also it definately looks better in person .. dont know why, I guess the camera just cannot capture the epicness of the petrol colored eyeshadow!
I will probably wear it for my birthday meal tommorow ^_^


It seems the daylight is finally fading hence the orange face on the first picture lol XD

These next pictures are of a slightly different version of the same look, a little less heavy (easier to wear) ^_^
also I had to use the celing light as I did this hours after the others so it was pretty late and dark, so the lighting suuuucks and the colors got a little distorted after I forgot I had it on and wiped my eyebrow into the white hilight XD


 Gah you can really see the red smear, well pink now lol XD
 Also the white from the inner corner rubbed off a bit cause again my  brain forgot to tell me that i had makeup on my face XD well thats my story and im sticking to it >_>


 What I used:

Nyx jumbo pencil (blackbean)      Subsitute: Barry M eye crayon (black)
(look 2 only) Nyx jumbo pencil (milk)      Subsitute: white eyeshadow or white eyeliner
Barry M dazzle dust (Petrol Black)
(look 1 ony) Mua Eyeshadows (shade 12 + 8)
Sugarpill Eyeshadow (tako)    Subsitute: Any matte white eyeshadow
Sugarpill Loose eyeshadow (lumi)    **Subsitute: Barry M Dazzle Dust (18 Blue iridescent)

**I am going to try and get the Barry M dazzle dust in shade 18 to try out for myself as I have only heard that it is a suitable subsitute for lumi and I want to find out for myself and will do a comparison if I am able to get hold of one.
 
How I did it:

Look 1

First off I used my NYX jumbo pencil in black bean onto my entire lid and slightly over my crease once applied I blended it out with my finger so the edges were softer.
Next I applied my Barry M dust in 98 to the middle of my lid and lightly blended, next I applied Mua in shade 12 to my outer corner and blended that out well to make sure all of teh base was covered.
Once that was done I used Sugarpills Lumi on my inner corner and blended it into the central shade, next i used Mua shade 8 on my waterline and smudged it out a little, finally I applied my mascara and I was done. 


Look 2

To start I used my Nyx pencil in black bean on the outer corner and slightly onto the middle of my lid, then Nyx pencil in milk on my inner corner and joining blackbean, then used a small brsh to lightly blend the two together and the black out to create a smokey look.
Next I used Barry M dust in 98 on the outer corner covering most of the black apart from the stuff in the middle and blended it all out over the smoked black.
After that I patted Sugarpills lumi onto the center of my lid and towards the inner corner thenblended it all out so it just looked like a sheen (check picture for reference)
Next I used Tako to hilight my brow and right in my inner corner and blended away and finally I did my mascara and I was done.



So I hope you liked these looks and maybe you will try them out ^_^

also as I mentioned earlier I will try to get hold of the Barry M dust in 18 and compare it to lumi!

Little Jem *Review*

A week ago I went shopping for makeup but just went for anything I liked the look of after finding nothing I really liked I saw some Barry M brushes.
I had walked past them a few times dismissing them until i saw a little eyeliner brush for £2.99 and c
ouldnt resist getting it!
And it turns out it's the best decision I made of the day.

it is an incredible brush and is a bargain!
the brush is BRIGHT turquoise and has black bristles, the overall quality if it is actually really good, and it is brilliant at its job.
The brush itself is an angled liner brush and its tiny!
It allowed me to do not only a nice thick line but also tiny delicate detailed lines too.

overall I adore this brush and would recomend you get one yourself!
And for £2.99 its an awesome price
its avaliable from superdrug along with others from the same collection that I will be buying as soon as I can!
