Oi Oi Oi!

On Saturday was Australia Day, better known as "Straya Day" to some (in case you didn't know, we love our slang!) It is that awesome day where you beach it, bbq & drink and have fun with friends & family. This year my brother, his gf & our mate came down to celebrate with us on the long weekend.


 So of course I had to make my makeup Aus day themed, although it looks more American & French than aussie because the colours are the same but it was too much effort to draw the union jack onto my eyes :P But I loved it none the less, and I just received these glitters 2 days before!

I made sure to blend the colours well, until I added the glitter & couldn't blend them!

 Silly me wearing glitter to the beach, as I was in the water and got splashed I got glitter in my eyes (I don't normally wear eye makeup when I go, btw!) but that doesn't matter :)

Being a poser enjoying the sun on the jetski hehe

Now we are ready to head out! Hmm looks like I cut my hair!

Thanks for looking! If you celebrate Australia Day I hope you had a fun day & partied hard! :D

On this weekend (2 weekends ago) we did the quickest roadtrip in history. 1400 km there & back in just over 24 hours to Perth! And that reason is... well, you will find out at the bottom of the post! But lets just say it will be the best thing for us for summer :D
So on this rush trip I was still able to get a bit of shopping in with my brothers' girl Kadie, we got to go to Garden City where I remembered they had MAC (again) so I had to buy a few things.


 Firstly I wanted Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle but they had sold out :( The S.A was showing me some other loose powder highlights that were meant to have a wet finish but they looked a bit too glittery. So I settled on Lightscapade which is a beautiful, soft shimmery highlight. I still want to get soft & gentle eventually, although I think it will take me forever to use this baby up.
 Next I thought I would finally buy Paintery paintpot because I see so many people rave about it. I haven't properly experimented with it yet, unsure if I would prefer to use it on it's own or over a primer. It would be perfect for neutral, matte eyelooks. Don't think I could ever use this up, either!

 And from the start I knew I wanted a bright lipstick. I asked for Impassioned (been lemming this for a loong time!) but she said it was limited edition- say what?? Not sure I should believe that one! Maybe it is in Australia, I don't know. So then I asked for Vegas Volt, but changed it to Morange soon after because I had been wanting this for a long time as well. & I am so glad I got it- It is the perfect orange for summer! I also got Kadie to buy her first MAC product, Honeylust (I swore that was the name but it's only showing eyeshadow on google :S) lipstick which is perfect on her.
& I never intended to post this picture as I do not have anything at all on my face, but it's always nice to see a full-faced picture of the lipstick. I did not use any other lip products with it here.
So everybody knows makeup is more expensive over here, but I will share the total anyway.
These 3 products came to the cost of *drumroll* $118.00 0.o. Lightscapade being the most expensive at $47 holy moly I knew it was going to be a bit but I bit the bullet, although I believe that the total cost, if I were in the U.S, would be $62.50 so I had lost $55.50 but it is always nicer to go in store, you don't have to wait for shipping & worry about damages & I had good service so it was worth it-- sort of.
www.ozsale.com had a sale on MAC a couple of weeks ago although there was barely anything to choose from, I did purchase a couple of lipsticks & blush so hopefully that wont be too far away!

I also went to Sportsgirl because of Sleep & Water & Mishelle from Mishelle's sleepy time. I was going to buy a couple more lipsticks but I thought I had better not this time, although I wish I did now.

 I swear I saw a review on this from somebody, but can't remember who, so I had to buy The Scrub Up Body Exfoliator. It is vanilla-flavoured which is a scent I normally like, however it is almost over-bearing in this product. However I can easily look past the smell. This is quite a soft exfoliant so you may want to use a Salux Cloth with it, which is what I used the second time around.
You get a huge amount of product for only $9.95, the only downside is being in a tub I always get water in it while using it in the shower.

 I also bought the Pout About It! Lip colour in Fruit Tingle for a good price of $9.95. Although, when I got home I realized I had similar colours already. I haven't worn this properly yet but it is a good, muted orange-y matte colour. But now I wish I had bought something different instead, the bright pinks & reds look gorgeous. This looks quite neon, but I've seen it look muted on others so I think I will add a nude lipgloss over the top when I wear it.
Also when I got home I had realized that I have another lipstick from a different brand that had the same exact packaging, although the Sportsgirl one at least had a label you could see properly. The one on the right is in the colour Sunburst from the David Jones makeup line & I *think* it was $14.95 when I got it. I don't use it that much, though. The only label on it is a barcode sticker but it doesn't even say the brand so luckily I could remember it. The only real difference between the two is Sunburst is a tiny but darker.

L-R Sportsgirl Fruit Tingle, David Jones Sunburst.

So that's it for my latest haul, until I go back up to Perth in less than 2 weeks, where I hope to pick up a few products for a future giveaway :D

I did mention at the start of something else we bought up in Perth, so here it is!
 Our new baby, a Jetski!
& the first time I've ever driven one, trust me I was actually terrified lol


Thanks for looking! xx

So not much has changed lately, work is going good, I now have 2 more assignments to go woohoo, an assessment and then I shall be hopefully qualified as a beauty therapist :D
The main gist of this post is to show you some makeup I have done on friends recently.. not as much as I'd like though, coz I'm getting used to doing it on other people now yahoo! I also got to do a younger girls flower girl makeup which was nice because I had to keep it natural but let her beauty shine through :D

This is my friend Shenitta who came over from interstate at the start of september. She is also a beauty therapist!
 Going out for dinnner
I used the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette, if my memory serves me well I used: Verve, Pistol, Busted, Tease & Bootycall. Ignore the eyeliner, I haven't quite got the knack of doing that on other yet. She has a similar eyeshape to me so it's quite easy to choose eyeshadow placement for her lol.


Party Eyes
She said she was sick of the same old purple that she did for going out, and she loved Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Tenacious Teal so I based the look off of that. I also used Makeupgeek's Mermaid, a dark blue from the Sleek Bad Girl Palette & MAC's Contrast. The eyeliner turned out good on one side, not so much on the other.
For both of these I let her apply the waterline & mascara so I don't completely stuff it up :P

Clubbing
I did this for my brothers girl when we went out (same night as my smokey gold look) and she just wanted a super smokey look with a lighter crease. I used the blacks in Sleek Bad Girl with a taupe from Inglot, Vanit eyeshadow stick in white with my Inglot white e/s.

Tafe
I did this on our work experience girl Teegan for my Tafe work, I had to do a day time look & a glamour look.
Day:
 28 neutral palette
Glamour:
 UD Naked 2: YDK, Blackout, Tease.

& I also did my mums makeup for Tafe :)
Day
 28 neutral palette
Evening:
UD Naked 1: Hustle, Naked, Buck, Creep

And now for the kitty pictures.... look away if you don't like cats.. (but who can resist these! ^.^)
 Chester hunting Mishka
 Mishka hiding behind the tank.. look at those piercing eyes!
 ..in a log! Dear god I love her to bits but she doesn't like being cuddled :(
 Brother & sister attack!!
 Chester came with me on my bed to watch some youtube videos...
...and proceeded to fall asleep on the keyboard!

Sadly not long after these pics were taken, Chester came inside one  night with an injured eye & bleeding nose & mouth.. we took him to the vets in the morning and found out he had head trauma and didn't know if he was going to keep his left eye. Luckily everything was all good but now it doesn't look like he can see out of his eye :( & he is finally back to his old self. No idea what happened to him but we don't think he was hit by a car.... but now he's cheeky again :D

Thank you for looking!
If anyone has tips for eyeliner & mascara when doing someone else's makeup let me know!

Woo, no more winter here, and so far the first weekend of spring had been amazing! And then of course it's been freezing during the week but this weekend is meant to get better again.
It was perfect weather especially as I had a friend come down from interstate, and it had been 11 years so it was perfect to do all the touristy things & go to the beach.

This makeup was done a while ago now but it will probably be a go-to spring look as it was so easy & light for warmer weather.
Look 1

~Products~
*not sure on face, probably my project empty foundations*
Revlon Floral Affair Hushed Blush

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt
Sleek Storm Palette- 1: Lid/ Highlight
2: Crease
3: Outer V & into crease
4: Blended with 2
Lancome Artliner

Lips: Revlon Colorburst in Candy Pink

Look 2
I broke my unofficial no-buy (which was for the month of August, so it happened right at the end) and bought Maybelline Coral Crush as it was on special and I've seen so many nice swatches of it. Unfortunately it did not show up as nice on my camera, also I had concealer on my lips which made it lighter.

"Lipstick Selfie" Just for giggles :P

 Can't remember too much for a full product list, lol...
but preeetty sure I used the Naked 1 Palette, my fave lid combo atm is Virgin + Sin. And Naked in the crease & Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner. Blush is probably a Sportsgirl one from my project empty & lips is of course, Coral Crush.

And to show you how beautiful it was last weekend. Not teasing, most of y'all have already had your lovely warm weather :).

Thanks for looking, In the warmer weather it always feels good to wear lighter makeup, so I hope you like my spring looks!

A few weekends ago we went to a masquerade ball. Of course I wanted to do big, dramatic makeup for it lol. It was a really good night... when they started playing good music lol. The dress code was meant to be strict but there were quite a few people in short club dresses and people without masks... which is not what a masquerade ball is about! lol. Anyway, apart from that, it was reallly hot in the ball area and because my mask was tucked into my hair it was hard to take it off without my eyes smudging lol.

To get the sharp line in the crease firstly I made a rough line with Black Bean and a small eyeliner brush and then I went over it with Noir & an angled eyeliner brush for further definition. I really like how it turned out :)

A few things I'd like to point out:
Eyelashes: One went on weirdly so I had to pull it off and put it back on, removing some of the eyeliner. I  fixed it after the pics.
Also the eyes aren't completely even, but I didn't want to ruin the whole thing to fix that lol. And I wasn't too keen on the lip colour for some reason IDK why... but I didn't reapply anyway lol.

 Looking creepy in my mask ahah.
