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!

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.

Neutral Eyes and Red Lips

I'm so excited that I finally have time for a new blog post, I've missed you all so much!

This is from my Mum's birthday dinner at the start of July which is why my hair is still blonde in these pictures.

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.

Pink and Purple Makeup Tutorial

I filmed a tutorial on this look a couple of weeks ago. I had so many problems with it and I had to re-record the first 3/4 because the video wouldn't open on my computer, then youtube wouldn't let me upload it!
I can't change the thumbnail and it looks a bit weird but I'm just happy that it's up!

May Favorites

Monthly favorites are one of my favorite blog posts to read and videos to watch so I thought I would start my own for May. I haven't really been wearing much make up lately but doing this post has motivated me to get back into it!

MAC Free To Be Eyeshadow

When I go through a coral phase (this seems to happen quite often) this is the first product I reach for. I was crazy about this color when I first saw swatches of it when it was coming out with the Give Me Liberty Of London Collection, but I didn't end up picking it up until a few months later when I was in Sydney. I am really glad that I did because it's been one of my favorite eyeshadows ever since I bought it.

Simple Look using KKcenterhk eyelashes

Today I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to try out some eyelashes from KKcenterhk. As soon as they arrived I had to play with them which is why my makeup isn't anything exciting in this post. They were a bit fuller and longer than what I was expecting but they are perfect for over the top looks!

I was so surprised at the quality of these eyelashes, the band wasn't thick which made them easy to apply and the hair was really soft.

Neutral-ish?

So this look wouldn't be neutral for most people but anyway I wore this to go to my friend's flat warming. I wanted to go with something not too bright but too neutral either.  I've been obsessed with Urban Decay's White Rabbit Eyeshadow lately for some reason as you may have been able to tell since I've used it in my last 2 posts!

Pink and Purple Revisited

Hey everyone!
I've been looking back at what makeup I've done in the past for inspiration and I decided to re-create the first look I posted on my blog.
Sorry I've only got the one picture, I only got to take a close up of my eye before my camera ran out of battery.

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.

Reflects Antique Gold Look

Hey Everyone!

Last week I went to the MAC Wonder Woman Preview at my local MAC Counter and this is the look I wore. Nothing special I just grabbed a few products I haven't used in a while. I had to take these pictures after I got home (nine hours later) because I was running late!

Sugarpill Valentines Day Tutorial

Hey everyone!

Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays so I wanted to do a bright tutorial using red, pink, and purple.

Flip & Free To Be

Hey everyone!

We've been having some amazing weather here in Wellington recently so I wanted to do a really easy summer-y look because the last thing you want to do when the sun is shining is spend a lot of time inside doing your makeup! 

MAC Flip and Free To Be eyeshadows are some of my absolute favorite eyeshadows of all time and I definitely don't use them enough. I filmed a tutorial for this look as well which I'll upload tomorrow night.

Christmas Eve Look

Hey everyone!

This is the look I wore to go shopping for last minute presents on Christmas Eve.

New Youtube Video - Entry For: Little Kiva's 20,000 Competition

Hey everyone!

I made this video to enter Little Kiva's 20,000 competition but you may need to pause the video to read the instructions, it had to be under 2 minutes. I hope you enjoy it and thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed!
