Twilight Inspired Makeup

Hello!

Im sorta inlove with the Twilight saga. I mean yeah the movies are sorta shit, but thats only because the Books are sorta brilliant.

Honestly, If you havent read them, please do!! Even if you've seen both movies, the books are definitely still worth reading, you totally get sucked into the plot.
There was a time a few months ago where all I did was read the books, day after day until I finished the saga (sucks so bad! I wont ever find out how Renesme grew up! ) and I would go into town to my fav coffee shop and just read, my family and friends would be like "You going to see Edward, Bella and Jacob again?" and Im like Yeah.

Anyways!!!

Here's my interpretation of the saga.
Caution: Pic Heavy

I chose vamped up eyes, with a touch of red pigment, pale rosey-glow cheeks, and soft nude lips.

I started off with a basic base, I didnt even use a primer, Just applied Loreal Infallible Foundation, and lightly dusted it with powder using a brush similar to MACs 187 Duo Fibre Brush

Next I swept a black eyeshadow over the entire lid. I sprayed Nation Face Mist onto a Brush to make the colour more intense.

I applied my mascara now, so that my eyes were more open, so that I could adjust where I put the white eyeshadow. accordingly

I then added a white eyeshahow from just above the crease, to the eyebrow.

Then I blended (tried to - I still suck at this!! Tips???) (pictured, a smaller version of MAcs 168 Angled Contour brush).

I followed this with applying black eyeliner around both top and bottom rims of my eyes, and blending them into a thick layer.
I gentle dusted some pale pink blush over my cheeks and blended it all the way up my cheek bone. I finished off with some MAC Mineralized skinfinish in Soft and Gentle, and MACs Myth Lipstick.

Hello there!

I can't believe I have not even written up ONE post this month! Ive just been super dooper busy with work and friends.

My first October Post will be my Favourite items from September!!

[click to enlarge pictures]

1. Heels
2. Twilight Series! I only have the last 3 books because I saw the movie for the first book and so decided to pick up where I left off! and OMG the books are sooo much better than the movie!!!! Loved them:)
3. Chichi Body bronzer. Love this. its freakin' gorgeous! Looks great in my room, and great on my body. I use it on my legs and chest when I go out. It gives it a slight faux tan look and some sparkle :)
4. Dolce and Gabbana perfume. Its winter here in Aus and so this is so gorgeous. In summer I prefer light scents, nd this perfume is so not light! Its gorgeous to feel sexy on cold winter nights.
5. Rimmel Lift and Renew Powder foundation. This is my HG powder foundation - Better than MAC! The only thing that doubts this powder is the colour selection.. ONly 4 or 5 colours to choose from in the range! Dodgy.
6. The Body Shop Vanilla Oil Perfume. Smells soooo good! Theres a Lush version too that Id die to try out but its like$60 whereas the TBS version is like$20. Ill stick to what I know and love for now :)
7. Starry EyesLiquid Eyeliner. Yay! All glittery and gorgeous! From Sportsgirl (their coool makeup collection!) I love coated my top lids in this on weekends! Sparkle my way throughout the clubs. Its a tad childish, but who am I kidding! Im no adult :) Ugggh speaking of that, my bday is soon. the big 1-9-!!!!!! ahhh.
8. Face of Australia lipglosses. $4 each! Great value, great product! But they've been discontinued! Ugh this ALWAYS happens to my HG lipglosses :(
9. NARS blush. Yum yum yum. So sparkly and gives a gorgeous glow, be it day or night!
10. Benefit Valley of the STars. Great little kit. I mostly use the eyeshadows when Im at my bfs house cos he finds it weird when I bring a bucket of makeup to his house to get ready to go out. He wants to seemore of my "natural beauty" AHAHAH laughable.
11. This is a "vintage" necklace! Lol My mum found it whilst cleaning out her room the other day and decided Id love it. Which I do! Apparently its cheap metal but I pass it as gold. Lol

BELOW As you can see below I use HEAPS of the Rimmel powder! Still going!

Im really disappointed because Ive been using the ModelCo Lash + Brow Growth Activator and it hasn't given me any results yet! I started using this product on the 20th of September, it says that I should see results after 2 weeks, it has been just over 2 weeks now, and no improvement in my lashes have been noticed :( So I shall be doing a FULL review on this product in 2weeks to see if there's a substaincial change in my eyelashes at the 1 month mark.

Yesterday I also bought a few things :)

1. MAC powder sponges(???) - about $8. I use these instead of the sponge that comes with the Rimmel foundation.
2. Rimmel Stay Matte foundation - Was about $15, got a free powder with it! Haven't used it yet but cant wait till the weekend so I cna give you all a quick review.
3. The Body SHop Shea Butter Shower gel - $12.95. Ive used this the past few days, Ive managed to skip moisturizing after the shower and my skin doesnt crack as it usually does! Not sure if it comes down to the moisturie properties in this shower gel or just plain luck! It smells yummy :)
4. Rimmel stay matte powder foundation FREE with the purchase of any Rimmel foundation. Love freebies! Ive been using this in the morning after applying my liquid foundation. It doesnt seem to make my makeup last any longer though. But I loveee Rimmel foundations!
5. Room oils from Dusk - $6 each. Bought Vanilla annnnnnd some other one. Lol sorry too lazy to look! I think everyone should either have scented candles or oils in their bedrooms. Makes it so much more homey :) And my boy loves to come into my room when it smells yummy.
