LOTD: Lashy neutral

I was having a good lash day :P

and i dont remember what i used, but it doesnt matter, its just neutral colours, i just loved the way it turned out, it had that 'pinup' look to it aswell with the wing :)

Uni is OVER in 2 days!!!!

REVIEW: NYX Milk Jumbo Liner & Natural Look

Ive been waiting a long time to try this out! i just havent had the heart to open it cos i have so much other makeup :P

Pretty standard packaging, plastic lid, looks very clean and smooth all around... Im just worrying about how i will sharpen it, Ive never been good at sharpening thick pencils.

The texture is so so creamy, you can see ive blended out the one on the left. It glides on really smoothly and feels a tiny bit tacky, which is good as a colour intensifying eyeshadow base!

This is what it looks like on my eye,,,haha my eye looks funny/gross

Today i just did the usual liquid foundation, but opted for my MAC Studio Fix powder in NC40. The picture always makes it seem brighter, but in real life its pretty tanned (in the context of a natural toned chinese asian), which suits me cos im that tad bit darker than the rest of my kind haha.

The colours i used from my 140 "manly" pallete (HORRIBLE brand name choice LOL) that i bought from ebay for less than $20. Its one of those hong kong factory makeup outlets that also sell the essential same product to companies such as Coastal Scents in america... the quality is very good in my opinion, but ofcourse there are the few duds, such as the yellow range, which is one of the hardest colours to find which will actually pack a punch! Thats why i used so many yellows :P to try bring it out as much as possible.

 My yellow and grey eyeshadow look

 lalala di daaaaaa.... :)

I put NYX Rea ontop of NYX Smokey Look megashine lipgloss. This way the application is alot smoother and doesnt sink into fine lines in the lips :)

I never take time to do my hair properly, especially for makeup blogging..so this is me tryin to make an effort by putting my hair down :P

Peekaboo! I remind myself of some kind of toxic bumblebee....

*****EDIT UPDATE*****

I did the look during the morning, and now its night! and still going strong, i decided to just have a bit of fun and pop some false lashes on :) They are the ebay lashes that I cut and curled myself to make them look more natural....you can see me do that in this post >>HERE<<

*****EDIT UPDATE****

Oh,, and also, today my sister had to go get her proof of age card from the liscencing centre, and i told her that the cameras there were really shit so i better help her bring out her features as much as possible...and heres what i did! (see below/next)

a very neutral but contrasting pallette to define the eyes, nude lipgloss (same combo as i did with Smokey Look gloss and Rea lipstick) and the use of my MAC studio fix powder in NC40, which does a very good job in a photography sense, as my sister usually has a really bad acne problem, and it seems to cover up really well in photos!

HAUL & LOOK: Pureluxe Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadows

You know, i was going through my computer and i actually found photos i had taken previously for this blog, and i never ended up posting them? So I'll be posting them now! The first one will be about my PureLuxe order, which happened at the beginning of January this year.

You can order PureLuxe HERE! :)

My extra sticky package...was a b*tch to open :(

I ordered 21 sample size eyeshadows and one moisture spritz! it said on the website that it was ideal for foiling the eyeshadows. For those of you who dont know what foiling is, its when you mix the eyeshadow with water or a suitable liquid to intensify the colour.

This was the most stingy amount of product out of the lot. Surprisingly they gave alot less since i had to pay more for this one because it was considered a 'SuperLiner', so the sample pot was $2 something instead of $1 something.

So yeah that was my purchase...on to the look i did for it...

NOTE! before you go on to see the look i did, note that i was having a HORRIBLE skin week! i looked so gross then, luckily my skin has healed up and is back to its clear self. But viewer beware if you hate a spotty face :(

Okay so i didnt end up uploading my "before foundation" photos, but in alot of shots you can see alot of unsightly blemishes coming through!!

Im using my very old, discontinued, avon 'colour trend' creme eyeshadow, just as a taupe eyeshadow base

using my PureLuxe 'Peach Champagne' on the lid

Contouring the crease with a PureLuxe Liner powder in "Forbidden"

Lining my eyes with cream eyeliner and an angled brush from 'The Body Shop', but you can use liquid if you prefer
