FOTD: Pinky Swear

Im in the mood for pink tonight :) Its my absolute favourite colour! It can either be romantic and dark, or sweet and light.

I used my favourite Palatte (at the moment) the Be Yourself palette that Ive featured in other Posts of mine.

Check out these Posts' of mine if you wanna closer look at the palette. It was under $10!

Ps. My makeup base is about 14hours old so it's looking a little worse for wear. please excuse :) xx

FOTD: Smokey Eye

This morning I attempted a smokey eye again because Im really trying to perfect it! Practice makes perfect, right? :)

Its not overly smokey or anything, there's no eyeliner on the bottom lash line, just the top.

So its a natural version of the original smokey eye :) Hope it looks okay!

Ive been reccomended several types of brushes for blending, So hopefully Ill be able to purchase a couple to help me out :)

This is what I used on my face:

Clockwise from Top Left: MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle, Revlon Bare It All in Peachy Tease, Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation in 100 Ivory, Rimmel Anti Fatigue Concealor, Revlon Sugar Dust in Sprinkled Pink, Bourjois eyeshadow in o8 Beige Rose, and the Be Yourself Palette; used the bottom left hand corner colours (They're black and greys, but looks blue and green in the pic!)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day :) x

August Favourites

This is my first "Monthly Favourites" Post so its kinda exciting! I love sharing my fav items with everyone on blogger !! Its great fun :) Anyways here's my Favourite August items:

From Top Left: Steve Madden Patent Leather Heels, Johnsons Dreamy Body Lotion, Napoleon Perdis Liquid Veil, Loreal Elvive Treatment, MAC Eyeshadow, Burts Bees Lipbalm, Garnier Eye Roll On, She Eye Dust in Empress Dust, Loreal Telescopic Mascara, Lush Celestial Moisturizer, Be Yourself eyeshadow Pallette.

Why I Loveee...

...Steve Madden heels, because they give me 14cm in much needed height! And theyre actually comfortable - Well, for heels!

...Johnsons Dreamy Body Lotion, Because its inexpensive and makes your skin so soft and silky from the first use!

...Napoleon Perdis Liquid Veil, It gives a gorgeous glow that you usually only get in summer; with this magic potion you can have it all year round!

...Loreal Elvive TReatment, because it has helped my hair without hurting my wallet, love!

...MAC Eyeshadow in PHLOOF!, because it has a cute name! Lol jk. It can be used as a eyeshadow for a hint of colour, or as a highlighter for the inner corner of the eyes or even on the temples and cheek bones! Such a gorgeous colour.

...Burts Bees Honey Lipbalm, because its only $6.95 and lasts several weeks with continuous usage! Its the new paw paw cream (In my opinion!)

...Garnier Eye Roll on, because it's great for early mornings (damn them!), somehow it magically rids your eyes of dark circles! Its also invigorating putting something so cold under your eyes in the morning! Great wake up call :)

...SHE eyedust in Empress Dust, because it has a gorgeous texture and a vibrant gold colour that stays put all day long!

...Loreal Telescopic Mascara, if you don't already know that I LOVE this stuff to pieces then you probably don't read my blog often. I rave on about this stuff always! Separates and lengthens so wonderfully.

...Lush Celestial moisturizer, honestly, I have only used this stuff once! I was using Jurlique Calendula cream (which is excellent!) but Ive swapped over to Lush because of the price difference! Lush Celestial is literally half the price of my usual Jurlique moisturizer!

...Be Yourself eyeshadow pallette, because it has 48 colours(Or close too, lol too tired to do the maths right now!)! Theyre all beautiful and all last long enough; And it was under $10 !!! Bargain!

Ps This is my cat Noonie!! Shes also an August fav!

I Tag Everyone who hasn't done this already! Cmon, its fun! :) xx

Haul: 25/8

Yesterdays Shopping Trip :)

Simple Black Tee with a Small Front Pocket from Bardot, 3/4 Length Cardi also from Bardot + 2 make up palettes from Gloss.

The two palettes I bought are really great! The bottom one has 48 colours! and the top one has cheek, face and eye colours! They were both less than $10!

The so called "Recession" hasn't exactly changed the way I shopped at all, however I never go past a bargain! And I don't believe in the whole "You get what you paid for" idea. I think there are a lot of great low cost brands out there! You just have to try and buy to sort the actual too good to be true brands vs the quality bargains!

I also gave one of my close guy friends this as an apology because I said something really mean and it was all tense for a few days! He forgave me and we hugged it all out :)

Ps. The green bag is a personal joke!

What has everyone bought lately? Any good bargains!?

Love love. xx
