Tu-in-one-torial: Smokey Eyes

Hello beautyloverrs!

Long time no talk :) I hope you're all having a wonderful day. Pity it's freezing, gloomy and rainy in this supposed 'sunny' city of Sydney :( I mean it is Summer ... is some sun too much to ask for? Anyway, today's video is a tu-in-one-torial! Basically I show you two ways of achieving a smokey eye look. First, the vertical smokey eye where the shadows go from darkest closest to the lashline to lightest under the browbone. Secondly, a horizontal smokey eye where the shadows go from lightest in the inner corner to the darkest in the outer V. I hope you enjoy, speak to you soon.

Which smokey eye do you prefer?

Tutorial: Victoria Secret's Inspired Day to Night

Hi Beautylovers!

I hope you're having a fabulous day :) This looks is inspired by the Victoria Secret's Fashion Show 2011. I just love the angels and I was just saying to my boyfriend that I want our daughter to be a VS angel .. haha.. and he proceeded by saying we might have two boys -_-/ ..

I want to apologise for the crazy way the video was put together! It won't happen again I promise :( I also promise not to film a tutorial looking like that ... with only four hours sleep. In fact I think I'm going to stay far away from tutorials altogether for awhile .. love doing Get Ready videos though.

So just to clarify, the intro was filmed after I did the base and eyes. The first part of the tutorial was filmed a few days after the first attempt and the second half was filmed on the day of the original filming. Please any suggestions, comments or requests let me know !

November Purchases & Pans

Hello Beautyloverrs!

I hope you're having a wonderful day! I had to make this a separate video because my November Faves & Fails video was getting to be way to long. I showed most of the products I purchased this month in haul videos so I just mentioned the candles that I picked up at the new Ikea in Tempe, Sydney. I also had a lot of products that I finished, mostly skincare as I was just lathering my skin in moisturiser to keep it hydrated and calm ... -sigh-

hope you enjoy ;)

November Faves & Fails

Hello Beautyloverrs!

I hope you are all doing awesomely. It is December, which means almost Christmas time! I just want to share with you some of my favourite products for the month of November. I sincerely apologise for there not being any makeup. I feel stupid saying that considering this is a blog about makeup .. but I truly only realised after filming the video. Two reasons for that is .. I have been working six days a week so I haven't really had any time to experiment and really try and love new products. If you want to know what I love for everyday in terms of staple makeup, you can check out my 5 Mins Challenge, which is basically my everyday fuss-free, no-brainer foundation routine. Secondly, my skin has been freaking out due to the sudden changes in weather so I have been employing some skincare items to keep in calm and somewhat under control, which means again, I've been sticking to my staple makeup to ensure that I don't irritate it more than I have to.

hope you enjoy xox

Makeup Storage

Hello beautyloverrs!

I hope you're all doing well. I recently went to the new Ikea that opened up in Tempe, Sydney which is super close to my house and picked up some drawers to organise my makeup. My storage system is not fancy at all! It basically just keeps all my makeup compact and in one place but still accessible (at arms length) and easy to find or view what products I have. The storage featured in the video, and those similar, can be purchased from:
| Ikea
| Hot Dollar (or your local dollar store)
| Kmart
| Big W
| Target
| Officeworks



I say it's a makeup collection video as well but it's really not. You do see my collection just because I'm showing you how they are organised but I don't go through everything. If you want to see an actual makeup collection video, or part of the collection just let me know, otherwise I'm not going to do one simply because it's nothing to go crazy about...although I do love watching makeup collection videos lol.

xox have a great day!

November Bellabox 2011

Hello Beautyloverrs!

I finally received my first Bellabox! I'd been hearing a lot of negative feedback about this month's Bellabox so I opened it without high expectations in mind which is disappointing considering it was my first box from them. Feelings were mixed. Although the box wasn't completely horrible, it could have been better and I personally think this month's was not worth the $15. I will be cancelling my subscription (for now at least) and trying out Ilovethisbox. To see what I received and my thoughts, please watch the video :)

If you're not familiar with Bellabox. It's basically a monthly subscription where you receive 5 'deluxe' samples of makeup, skincare, fragrances etc. It costs $15 a month including shipping and it available only in Australia. This concept (to my knowledge) was first initiated in the States such as Birchbox and the Beauty Test tube. From there many other countries have developed their own versions. Bellabox is one of amongst four similar subscription services, that I know of (LustHaveIt, ILoveThisBox, GlossyBox). I hope that helped a little bit.

xox have a great day!
