Big Badda Boom! *Inspired Makeup look*



 Why hello there my lovelies :3
Today I have an inspired look for you all, I couldnt sleep and was browsing through deviant art and noticed an incredible drawing by someone of leeloo from the fifth element and I couldnt resist giving a makeup look a go and after not sleeping for another 6 or so hours I finally did the look in the early hours of this morning :)
There will be another simpler inspired leeloo look comign up soon I just haven't got it right yet so until I like it it wont be ready haha, however I hope you like this look and let me know what you think, and if you like the idea of me doing more inspired looks ^_^
I would also liek to add this look was made incredibly more difficult for me as I dont own a white gel or liquid eyeliner so had to use kohl and careful orange applying techniques XD



The awesome leeloo, if you haven't seen this film you really should cause shes awesome, lee evans and chris tucker are in it (win!) and it just plain rocks ^_^
Yes I know my mascara missed allot XD that pesky white gets all over the place haha!






Well overall I am really happy with this look, then again I am very tired and my eyes may be decieving me, but i actually like this and I normaly dont like all over orange eye looks so I have managed to convert myself hehe.

What I used:

Eyeliner:
Sleek Eau La La liner (White Noise)
Sugarpill eyeshadow (Tako)

Eyeshadow:
(base) Nyx jumbo eye pencil (milk)
Sugarpill eyeshadow (Flamepoint, Buttercupcake, Love+, Tako)
Sleek Circus palette (bright orange)

How I did it:
First of all I based my eye with my nyx pencil in milk and belended it out all over my lid.
Next I took my sleek liner and drew on my liner, then I set it with Tako.
After that I used flamepoint on a small angled brush and carefully traced around the white then continued to fill in my lid, once that was done I took my love+ and blended that into my crease then blended both out into tako under my brow.
Next I took buttercupcake and added a small amoutn onto my inner corner and blended into the orange slightly.
At this point I realised the orange wasnt bright enough so I took my sleek circus palette and took the orange and patted that over the other orange and then on a small brush under my lower lashes.
I lined my waterline with the same sleek liner from before and did my mascara and I was finito!


Admitidley I made the whole process more difficult for myself by doing the white first, but I wanted it to be very vibrant against the orange, and lining over the orange made it dull and looked awful to me, so after a while of testing on my hand I finally realised what I had to do XD

So as not to bore you any longer with my ramblings I shall end my post here, but please do let me know what you think and if you would like to see any more of these (that I am not already planning offcourse XD)

Hazardous *makeup Look*

Hey ^_^
Been a while since I've had the time during the day to do a makeup look, so here is a quick look I did using my new Sleek palette ^_^

It isnt anything special but I had the urge to use a neon yellow and somehow mix in the new sleek palettes colors too, this look is bit odd but I like it, there will be a few more looks using these palettes coming soon ^_^

Also I know this is similar to the Zombie caterpillar look  >Here<  BUT the yellow is very bright and there is teal in there somewhere XD
And I know the pictures are fuzzy but like I said it was juts a quick look ^_^



*EDIT*
I just wanted to mention before I forgot, the eyeliner is amazing on its own as I just found out wiping this off, it is just the sleek liner with the sleek neon yellow patted into it whilst its still tacky and looks awesome :3
just a warning though it takes a bit of rubbing to get it off ^_^

What I used:

Eyes:
NYX Jumbo Pencil (Milk)
Sleek Ultra Matte Palette V2 Darks (Orbit - Teal Color, Highness - Purple Color, Pilow Talk - White, Thunder - Grey Color, Noir - Black)
Sleek Eau La La Liner (Canary Yellow)
Sleek Acid Palette (neon yellow)
Maybelline Gel Liner (Black)
Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

Hope you enjoyed and if you have any suggestions or requests let me know ^_^

Toxic Rose *makeup look*

So last night I just grabbed a few things I wanted to play with aaand had a huge creative burst.
and I'm actually happy with the result!
The pictures aren't so good but meh cant win em all lol

so yeah I used almost all highstreet makeup but the stuff that wasn't could be duped for easy to get stuff anyhoo ^_^

I really had no idea what to call it so I just went random,
but anyhoo I hope you like it !

p.s ignore the eyebrows I was just playing aroud before I did the makeup and they wouldnt come off XD even with eye-makeup remover ha XD they are still sort of there now XD and they went feckin orange >_>


I normally hate blue on the waterline but it works for this look :3 and made my eyes bluer haha.


 eeeew you can see how unsymmetrical my face is >_>

What i used one my eyes:

*red+blue+black shadows in Sleek Sunset palette
*mua eyeshadows Shade 2 + 12
*Maybelline color tattoo - Permanent taupe (base)
*Sugarpill eyeshadow - Tako (any matte white will do)
*Rimmel sexy curves mascara


How I did it:
I used the maybelline tattoo all over my lid and blended it up over my crease to below my brow,
then I took the mua shade in 12 and patted it over my lid then blend slightly into the crease. (not too much or you will loose the intense color)
Then I took the Red from the sunset palette and patted that above shade 12 and left a few cm gap under my eyebrow and blended, i made sure it had nice soft edges.
The next step you may want to leave out if you have sensitive eyes or you can use a blue eueliner,
but I used the blue from the sunset pallette on a small angled brush and patted it onto my bottom waterline, then blended a little more red just under that staying close to my lashes.
Then I used the black on a small brush and blended a little bit in the outer crease and along my lashline and smoked it out a little.
Next I took another small brush and patted a little mua shade 2 in my inner corner then I used tako (or any matte white you can get) onto my brow bone and blended into the red and finally mascara and I was done!

also for my lips I dont recomend you try it as it may be unsafe but I used the same red and black as I did on my eyes and blended them together simples ^_^

if you try it out I would love to see ^_^
have fun experimenting!

Eau La La Liner Rainbow *Review + Makeup Look*

I adore Rainbows and bright colors, so when Sleek came out with thier new eau La La Liners i knew i needed them in my makeup box, they have 20 colors avaliable, and i splurged out on 7 of them i went slightly mad when i got in there, and as they had only just been put out there werent any open ones to test so i had to wing it, though i am VERY happy with them with only a few complaints which i will explain later.

The colors i bought were:
1*white noise (matte white)
2*Canary yellow (matte mid toned bright yellow)
3*Pumpkin (matte mid toned bright orange)
4*Moulin \Rouge (matte mid toned red)
5*Rasin (matte deep red toned purple)
6*Tonic (matte with slight shimmer forest green)
7*Cobalt Blue (matte sky blue)




As you can see from the swatch picture these are VERY pigmented and I have to admit that picture is almopst the exact color they are in person apart from the green which is slightly more greeny (camera made it go blueish.) the packaging is nice too ^_^



Pro's:
.Good value for money £3.99 each compared to a mac pencil which is £14 admitidley they have the more muted everyday colors but thats why i adore these because they are so bright!
.very long lasting and they will NOT budge they only started to smudge when i rubbed my hand franticly, and when i tried to wash them with water they stayed beautifully.
.waterproof, as i said just, they dont move XD




Con's:
.they are a bit waxy which can make applying them a bit awkward until they soften up a little.
.when i opened mine the ends often snapped off and the red in particular still does and sharpening them is a nightmare as the pencils body material is plastic from what I can tell but with a bit of work you can get them sharpened up nicely. but be warned they are a CHORE to sharpen sometimes which really annoys me >_>
.color choices, as much as I adore the color choices I wish there where some more, like bright green and royal blue or lavendar and really bright purple but hey maybe one day they will as they are still new.




The Look I Created

Rainbow liner








Eyes:
all sleek liners mentioned
Mac bare study paint pot (as a lid base)

I wore this look the next day and it has so far lasted all day with little wear, again I'm extremely impressed!


Overall I adore these liners and am using them allot since I got them and will be buying more unfortunately for my wallet lol


I really suggest you try them out and I bought the black one and another blue after I originally started this post so I will be doing a review and test on the black as black never lasts on me so this will be interesting XD

Blue Steel *makep Look*

Hullo Thar
Todays look Was supposed to be just blue, but when it was finished it looked grey .. oops.
It's very in line with my mood today, yeah... a bit dull lol but still colorful in general ha!
I used as many highstreet makeup products as i could so that more people could do the look!
So its allot less dramatic and in your face as the previous looks I have posted so I hope you like it and let me know what you think!

Optional: Urban decay Primer Potion (eden)


Rest of my face:
the same as in my previous posts ^_^

I am finding the prices for the products i used that are avaliable from the highstreet so you can get an idea of what the items this look uses incase you wanted to try it out!
i just went on superdrugs website to get a rough idea, and this DOESN'T include any offers they have going!

Barry M Dazzle Dust £4.59
Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara £8.19
Sleek The Original Palette £6.49 (amazing value for money and awesome quality in all palettes)

Vampesque *makeup look*


 After playing around with my makeup for quite literally hours I decided to actually create a look, it definately looks vampy and the contact lenses add to the eerie feel I think, 

 

I love red as you may be able to tell from my hair, and I have an abundance of red eyeshadows and such so i just went mad with them and had no real direction on what i wanted.

The contact lenses I feel really finished off the look for me I think they look amazing and I adore the etheral look for eyes!


So for the products I used,
for my eyes there is:
*Mac Paint pot Soft Ochre
*Sugarpill loose shadow in Asylum
*sugarpill pressed shadow in Tako, Love+ and Bulletproof
*Maybelline Eyestudio gel eyeliner 
*Rimmel sexy curves mascara
for the lips:
*Sleek True color lipstick in cranberry (christmas limited edition sorry)
*lipcote!
and for my face:
*Body Shop extra virgin minerals loose powder foundation
*Collection 2000 concealer
*Sleek Blusher Fenberry (same christmas limited edition)

So overall im soo pleased looks allot nicer in person as my camera skills seem to be failing me today ^_^

i hope you like it and if you have any questions let me know and ill be happy to awnser ^_^


Becky *hugs*
