Pink And Gold With Glitter

This is the makeup that I wore to the last day of my course. I wish that the glitter had shown up more in the pictures, it looked gorgeous in real life!

End Of Course Competition Entry

I just got all of my wisdom teeth out two days ago so I've had to take a few days off and I finally have time to post my entry for our end of course competition. The theme that we were given was 'Great Works Of Art' and we had a time limit of three hours for the hair and makeup.

I found out on the last day at my course that I came in 1st place!

"Yuuwaku" 誘惑 allure by Audrey Kawasaki - My chosen piece of art that inspired the look I created.

IMATS Sydney 2011 Swatches And A Look

Here are the swatches of what I purchased at IMATS Sydney 2011!

Spring/Summer 2011 Inspired Look

As a part of the makeup course that I am doing we had to research the Spring/Summer 2011 hair and makeup trends. I haven't been wearing much makeup lately but I was inspired by the colour blocking trend to do some colourful makeup.

Inglot Makeup Tutorial

I recorded this tutorial on the 29th of June and when I started it I had no idea of what I was going to do, I just knew that I wanted to use my Inglot eyeshadows. The background music isn't working because of a bug with AudioSwap but hopefully it will be fixed soon.

New Hair And A FOTD

I have been dying my hair bright colors since I was 12 but about a year and a half ago I promised myself (and my mother) that I wouldn't have any bright colors in my hair anymore I guess in an effort to be taken more seriously. Well I finally accepted that I had to do something to get my hair healthier because of the damage that has been caused from being so blonde for many years, and I'm not really a natural color type of person (as you may have realized) so I took the plunge last Friday and dyed my hair raspberry!

I'm so excited about it that I had to share it with you all and I hope you love it as much as I do.

The eyes in this are the same as this.

Inglot FOTD

First of all I'm sorry I haven't been able to post much! I've been so busy lately and I'm sure you all will understand. Time is just flying by at the moment and so many exciting things have been happening! I got to do my first photoshoot a few weeks ago and I'm lucky enough to be getting an amazing opportunity to be helping out at a big event (not sure if I can say what it is yet) so it's all going to be pretty full on.

I did this look a while ago when I got some new Inglot goodies (which I need to post swatches of) and I wanted to just have a play.

Neutral-ish? Makeup Tutorial

I filmed a tutorial for this look a few weeks ago but I've been so busy that I haven't had time to upload it. I started a makeup course on the 11th of July and it's been pretty full on so I'm not sure how often I'm going to be able to update. But I do have a few looks and tutorials that I filmed before I started my course that I will gradually upload.

Blue and Green + Glitter!

I wore this look to the Roller Derby a couple of weeks ago. Midway through doing it I realized that it looked a lot like this look so I just added some glitter!

Spring Inspired - Green Eyes and Pink Lips

So even though its Autumn here in New Zealand I've been on a real spring kick lately! It never really feels like Autumn for me because in the area that I live in we don't really have any deciduous trees so they're green all year round.

Yellow and Orange Glitter! - Lion Costume Look

Hey everyone!

I've been meaning to post this for a while but I've been so busy I completely forgot about it! This is from a costume party and I went dressed as a lion.

Purple and Blue Look

Hey everyone!

First of all I want to apologize for not posting much anymore. I've been going through a lot of personal and family issues the main one being that my Grandma was diagnosed with advanced cancer and isn't expected to live much longer. I have been rarely wearing much make up lately but I'm really trying to get back into the swing of things because it really helps to get my mind off everything. I hope you all will understand :)

I haven't been feeling like going out much but on Saturday I made myself go to the Roller Derby because I knew I would enjoy it and it was a great distraction so this is the look I wore for it. I literally had no time to get ready so I just chucked something together really quick.

Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches Plus MAC and Sugarpill Comparisons

Hey Everyone!

Guess what came in the mail today? My prize for winning LittleKiva's competition!

I got my first proper look at Inglot when I was in Sydney for IMATS last year but I didn't end up buying anything because I stood at the till for ages waiting to be served and the sales assistants just ignored me. That was my last day in Sydney and I totally regretted not going back and picking up some of their eyeshadows so I was really excited to win this palette!
