I don't know if I have mentioned but I pretty much never put on make up for the specific reason of blogging. All the looks I post are just the make up I happen to be wearing that day/night.
Today is a different story! This one is just for you!
I pretty much realised I don't do make up just for this blog because I am always in a rush to go do something! Half way through this I had to rush off so I have no eyebrows or mascara on! (I fixed that up on the train to my destination)
On my Face: Illamasqua Powder Foundation Smashbox Softlights Powder - Dolice Vita
On my Eyes: TFSI NYX Jumbo Pencil - Royal Mountain Green Sugarpill Eyeshadow - Tako Make Up Store Cybershadow - Gingerleaf Smashbox Eyeshadow - Digital Fyrinnae - Pixie Epoxy Shiro Cosmetics loose e/s - Bulbasaur Morgana Cryptoria loose e/s - Isis Morgana Cryptoria loose e/s -Lady of the Lake Eyeko Graffiti liner - Black MAC Mascara - Haute & Naughty
(omg how badly have I applied this! hahaha!)
On My Lips: Venomous Cosmetics Lip Poison - Hysteria
Contact Lenses Random ebay -Doll E.Y.E Violet
I am pretty dissapointed with how subtle these lenses are :( they are just a bit too dark for my taste I think.
I had to post these pics while I had them shadows out.
Poor Make Up Store, they are so under rated, I would say easily as great at MAC, same price here in Australia and with more usefull diversety and less token limited edition stuff.
These are two of my fav of their Cybershadows. Buzzer and Gingerleaf, I used Gingerleaf in the above look but not buzzer. Buzzer looks totally liquid holographic when applied over a black base. I will have to do a look like that for you!
Here is a nice lil pic of the loose shadows I used. Bulbasaur, Isis & Lady of the Lake. I love this combo!
I had to include this pic to show off the reason I am wearing a blue shirt. (I never where blue) Do you guys know what shirt it is? :D
Hello everyone! I went to a friends birthday picnic last Sunday and did a quick make up job to wear as it was going to be hot and possibly rain I didn't want anything too la-di-da.
Pink and purple is so my standard go to look lately and now with the blue fringe I have been doing blue or teal eyebrows. Since much eating was to be done (I had baked cupcakes) I went for a toned down pink lip.
Eyes: TFSS Sugarpill Eyeshadow - Tako, Poison Plum & Dollypop Afterparty on eyebrows Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner pen - Purple Eyelashes from ebay MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara
Lips: Mac Lipstick - Gaga 1Viva Glam Lenses: EOS Pop C. Dark G204 Green
- Lens Review - EOS Pop C. Dark G204 Green
These are really comfortable lenses, 38% water, they feel way better.
They are enlarging but only 14.5 mm diameter so not like some bigger pairs that are less comfy. These blend fairly well with my natural colour and I don't find the black outsides to overbearing. I got these from Kiwiberry1 and the cost $20US which is a steal but they don't seem to have them listed on their site at the moment in the dark green.
I love these as they are natural looking but still a bit insane, I am not really a fan of lenses that are too normal looking or too dark. These are a nice midpoint.
Here is just a pic to say I LOVE MY HAIR RIGHT NOW hahaha :)
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!! WOOOHOOOO!! I can't believe I am 27! It all seems down hill from 25 if you ask me.
Last night my super best friend ex boyfriend Aaron took me out for dinner. I decided to break some beauty rules and wear only blue eye shadow with blue eyes :o
Gah! My fringe (bangs) soo long!
Aaron gave me the best present in the world! I was so excited I screamed and jumped up and down in the car!
Yes! 7 lady Gaga 7 inch picture disc records!
Some people hate Lady Gaga and some people love her. A bunch of my goth friends and I are bbiiiggg Gaga fans, one of these fans is a DJ so we often get to dance to Gaga/Metallica mash up techno songs at goth clubs hahahaha!
Here are some more make up pictures, blue makes me look a bit like a zombie (not in a cool way) so I will be wearing pink and purple tonight(my actual birthday) I do like the blue with the gold liner tho :) Also an excuse to wear that blue MAC peacocky lipgloss
I figured I should post some with glasses because I wear them almost constantly.
Here is a great example of my crazy crimped hair! My colour is washing out and I have been too busy/lazy to recolour I love this new shiny headband from ebay.
As it is Friday night, my birthday and I am excited, I am now off to go to a metal show. YAY Lots of people from interstate are coming to Sydney, which is exciting because Australia is HUGE and we have to travel ages to hang out with eachother. Have a nice weekend people! What are you doing on the weekend?
So you see a lot of people who love MAC, people who refuse to buy MAC and a bunch of degrees of between the love end to the hate end of the spectrum.
I like some MAC products, others I think are fad-ish and a waste of space and some are just unremarkable.
Nail polish is a good example, over priced and not very unique is what I think of most MAC nail polishes, however I LOVE Biker Blue (from Jeanius) and it is one of my fav polishes at the moment. I'm wearing it right now! Tricolour Lipglass is another item I don't really get, it doesn't really go on tri coloured at all.
They have great things too, Viva Glam 1 lipstick, CCB's, Naughty & Haute Mascara.
I like the penultimate Eyeliner (but the jumbo one is unusable as it is MASSIVE)
Also selling eye shadows in just pans is awesome if you want a lot and want to take them places.
The other thing that doesn't sell me or totally turn me off MAC are the collections.
They Disney villains was amazing, and quite cute was great, but I find collections like Jeanius and this new beach one very boring and sort of tacky.
A few people complain about customer service, I have never experienced really bad service, and on one occasion the Sydney PRO store saved some of the Villains items for me for a day so I could buy them, which they don't have to do and items were selling out fast to that was nice.
So being an 'I think MAC is ok' I was happy to buy the new Quite Cute lipstick Candy Yum Yum. Hot pink is my new obsession and this lipstick is the IT of hot pink!
I went to my local MAC counter to try it. It was sold out there but I knew it was still available on the Australian website but I thought I should check it out IRL before I bought it. I swatched it on my arm then went around to all the other counters swatching their other pinks, there really wasn't anything like it.
Needless to say I rushed home and ordered it (along with Morange and Lady GaGa Viva Glam 2) I was sooooo excited but 9 days later my order had not arrived.
I logged into the website to check my order status which was still in 'Received', meaning they had received my order. You can’t email customer service so I had to call ( I hate calling people!) The girl who answered (Mandy) was really nice and helpful, took my details and said she would call me back. Within 20 mins she had called me back saying that she had the warehouse looking for my order and if they didn’t find it she would get the items and express post them to me herself and email me letting me know by tomorrow morning.
The next day I hadn’t heard anything by 2pm so I called back again, got Mandy again, she said she that she hadn’t heard back from the warehouse and she would check and get back to me. 10 mins later she calls back saying she was express shipping my items now with a gift. ‘OOOOOOooo yay’ I think, it’s Friday so I will get it on Monday!
Monday I get my items YAY. Candy Yum Yum is awesome, I look around in the box, no free stuff! I got a bit sad, I don’t need free stuff but it’s a bit sad when someone tells you that you’re going to get some then none turn up. I emailed Mandy back and she told me that the gift had been mailed separately on Monday morning. ‘Ok weird but ok’ I thought and was a bit sad.
That was until Tuesday when I got another MAC package, what was in it? I thought maybe some samples or an ugly lip gloss. NOPE. It was travel size duo fibre brush and palette with 4 eye shadows. WOW awesome I was so excited.
So even though my stuff got lost I got it, and more cool stuff to boot.
Now Candy Yum Yum issold out online too, I will treasure mine!
I write more about the actual products but for now enjoy and iphone photo of me at work enjoying my new lipstick!
