PT your eye-make-up looks really pretty in that pic! And your hair looks lovely and shiny. :)
It's a shame the original hair-dresser did such an ordinary job, but I'm glad it's fixed now. <3

Also, just to let anyone who's interested know, I uploaded a new video on my YT channel over the weekend. This one's not specifically centred on beauty, but it's a super-duper important topic that's universally important.

Have a watch and let me know what you guys think. :)

One last thing! I've been getting into Inglot Cosmetics recently, especially their eye-shadows. They have a 'freedom' system that allows you to buy empty palettes and fill them with round or square shadows, lipsticks, brow powders or even blushes.

Their shadows are absolutely on par with MAC, and are so so much cheaper! Like, the freedom palette for 3 round shadows is just over AU$30. A-mazing.

I also love the look of their new polish range, and their lipsticks and glosses.. I have a friend who works there locally, so I can see I'll be getting to know their brand much better in the future! :)

i love inglot! very affordable and the people working there are so much nicer and helpful than anywhere else i've gone for makeup.
 
I need to stop being so lazy and start wearing make up again. Ever since I started this job that I get up at 4 am, I have been leaving the make up off.
 
I had terrible skin about 12-18 months ago. Like, fucking AWFUL. I tried the pillowcase thing as well, and various different skin cleansers and toners etc.
Are you on the contraceptive pill MB?? I started on Yasmin about 15 months ago and it has cleared my skin up 100%. Aside from the occasional break-out on my chin every couple of months, I rarely have any blemishes at all now.

did Yas really work for you , i have never taken birth control heres a better pic i took with the mirror of death as i call it the one with the white light and the zoom mirror

Yep hun, my skin was worse than yours :( But since I've been on Yasmin (note: NOT Yaz, they are slightly different), my skin has been pretty much 100% clear, as it fucking SHOULD BE at age 26!! :)


*edit*
May I present to you all, OPI Black Shatter!!

This is only my first application and it's not perfect. The effect I would prefer is that of the ring-finger nail. I'll work on it though :)

You should check them out Ocean - they're super affordable and the colour colour pay-off is AMAZING. :)

I am wearing my new shadow colours in my latest video: Kora Organic Body Lotion. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product, and the line was made by Miranda Kerr. :)

^I may :)
I wore pink on my lower lids and a mix of a smokey purple/grey and a shimmery light purple today-
Normally I go neutral colors- but I am easing into more fun.
I did fun colors a while back for Halloween a couple years ago playing dress up with a friend- I should go dig those photos out and post 'em........

n30- The nails look cool. I like it.
 
I LOVE that look n3o!!! Sooo fucking hot!! I think I desperately need to make a fingernail polish purchase asap, I still want to get on the matte train and that shatter coat looks amazing!!!


I'm thinking of changing up my hair color. I was thinking some highlights maybe, I don't want blonde but maybe some warm carmel tones, or some red mixed in too. My hair color is pretty dark right now so I want something to compliment the base color that I have. I was also thinking of cutting my hair a little shorter, I have so much trouble boosting body and volume, even when I blow dry with a little round brush.
 
N30- I want that nail polish SO SO bad that even TONY knows if he sees it be better buy it for me! :)
 
PI- I don't recall your original post of that booty shot, but DAMN! And those were the perfect shoes. And to digress into girly thread, I would love to see them with a knee-length slitted pencil skirt (a bit high-waisted) and a tailored white dress shirt!.

Sounds beautiful and just my style. Those shoes are good for about 4 hours and added alcohol helps. I have only worn them for social occasions. The heel is 5 inches. I wear 4 inch comfortably all day. I thought I would try wearing them to work but end up switching shoes before I leave the house!
 
i like that eyeshadow, ocean. i've been trying to get more colorful with my eyeshadow lately too, but i always feel like a clown whenever i put it on and wipe a lot of it off. :( i did recently buy a nyx glitter set off hautelook so i'll be experimenting more.
 
^I highly doubt this.

Jealous, I don't have the skills or reasons to wear heels.

Same here, any sort of bright color and I feel it looks like I got into my mother's makeup as a little kid. Some people can pull it off really well though. I've found that bright eyeliner works when I want color but don't want to look like a clown.

Speaking about colored liner I found a creme eyeliner that goes on fairly well (I have my complaints but overall its alright) and is easy to work with especially for winged liner. One thing that bugs me is that its waterproof, or at least my makeup remover won't work on it like typical eyeliner. I like to put my eyeliner on thick and then smooth it out with a q-tip dipped in makeup remover but this stuff won't budge as easily which sucks when you're trying to get the ends symmetric.
 
No "reasons" needed to wear heels. Just a desire. I can rock some high ones with inserts and a lot of sitting involved.

As for eyeliner- nice smooth mushy black (like Urban Decay's Zero) , and then I set it with a black eyeshadow. Decent longevity.

As for gel, they obviously last the longest, but aloso feel and look the most unnnatural for me. Perfect for waterline (b/c it stays put) but I also feel the tightness/pulling of it. I may gte some flack, but I swear by baby oil for an eye make-up remover. When removing a pantload of eye makeup, I let a soaked pad sit on my eyelid for at least 10 second. I follow with an acne wash.

Now that all my girlfriends know of my nail polish weakness, those are their go-to gifts for me. My one GF got me some ridiculously hard to find Black Shattter! =D8o I couln't believe. It's on Ebay for like $20 and she got an elusive bottle at Ulta luckilly! Another girlfriend got me one of the new Texas collection OPIs. I'm not big on jellies usually, due to VNL (visible nail line). I saw "Houston- we have puple" And was in <3. I receieved it as a presetn the next day. My firends have ESP!

Ocean- I totally feel you. I used to wear CRAZY colors! Just shocking! Now I stick with pretty deep browns, bronzes, taupes etc. A bit boring, but I love them. I believe they are much more complimentary.

PI- Post pics if you ever do this. SO hot!

N3o- Shatter looks AWESOME! What's underneath??

Monkeybizness- would swicthing to something like Cetaphil help? Were you sing a new product? And perhaps avoiding anything with 'cones might help. Sorry!

PFF- some caramel, warmth for Sprin/summer months sounds perfect!
 
Learning to wear heels was a NYE resolution years ago. You got me thinking I should wear them today...I will bring flats to change into.

I think it will be a nice change for the spring and summer too :)


I think I may have found the perfect combination of products to give my hair the end curls and flips tha I like, give me overall body, and all without making my hair look like there is any product in it at all, or feel like there is any product.

This morning I sprayed my hair with Chi Keratin Mist and then rubbed in some Redken Curl Cream. I blow dried my hair with my little round brush and the curls make out amazing!! I finished with a Redken flexible hold hair spray. The true test of these products will be at 5 pm when I see how well my hair stood up :)
 
poopie - lucky you getting all of that nail-polish! I'd love swatches if you get a chance. ;)

As for all the heel-talk, I love a nice wedge. They're so much kinder to the feet and knees, and I find I can wear them for 8+ hours (if the day involves sitting) comfortably.
Straight stiletto's are almost impossible for me, and usually result in injury. :p

I went on a bit of an accessories spree the other day, and have uploaded a video to give it all away! Take a look and enter if you're so inclined.. they're amazing pieces from an accessories store here in Australia, and they were designed by Alex Perry (renowned fashion designer). :)
