Makeup, Outfit and Mini Review

MOTD + OOTD

Hey, so here is another photo of my face, I'm about to tell you the things I have on it, so stay tuned if you're interested. 

Backstory:

Today is my 'lets leave the house and do things because I don't want to stay in the house and do all the things that I have to do' day. I have these often. 

So, I slapped a bunch of products on my face and with a sassy feeling and a strange yet familiar craving for sushi, I left the house. 

I don't really have a foundation 'routine' when I get one, I'll do a post on that. I feel like I don't know enough about foundations to really review them. (TBH I don't know enough about anything to really 'review' them)

Lets get into it. 

Outfit:

Don't mind the clothes all over the floor, they're just victims of the battle that is every day life. 

This is what I wore today. Pretty basic, but I liked it. 

Eyes:

Eyeliner and mascara are the same as usual, Bourjois products for both, there is another post describing them so I won't go into it. 

For eyeshadow, I did't want anything at all really, but I didn't want nothing, so I decided to use two products by ALMAY. Almay is a brand for sensitive skin, now my skin isn't super sensitive, but around my eye area it can be, also, I like these colours. 

L-R: Crème Brûlée (shade 125) and Cashmere (shade 155)

They're super sheer, but very pretty, I didn't use any primer, but when I do, the colours stand out more. 

The packaging is super cute, they're compact and portable, and I enjoy them.

Lips:

For lips today, because its nice and cold outside, I decided to go with a nice deep/dark red colour. Todays victim is by RIMMEL LONDON.  This is from the Moisture Renew range, I have a few from this range, and I'm quite happy with them. 

This particular one is in the shade 330 - 'Sloane's Plum' I'm not sure who Sloane is, but she has excellent taste in colour. 

The product stays true to its name, it is very moisturising. The product glides on very nicely and doesn't feel 'gloopy' like some lipsticks can. It has very nice coverage and lasts a while. I have had mine on 5ish hours, and in that time, I've been talking non stop, drinking (ice tea) and gorging myself on sushi and it seemed to last, It wasn't as vibrant, it did wear a bit, but the colour turned into more of a lip stain by the end of it. I don't mind when a product comes off after you've eaten something, its when it comes off for no reason at all, I have an issue. Another good thing was that whilst I was eating, the lipstick didn't turn grainy or anything from crumbs or food residue (one of my pet hates)

All in all, a good product, I can't remember how much it cost but knowing me, I probably got it on sale anyway. 

Before and After shot:

L - R: Before and after. 

Top Left: Full face of makeup, before leaving the house.

Bottom Left: Lips just before leaving the house.

Top Right: Full face of makeup, just as I returned home.

Bottom Right: Lips, just as I returned home, after 5ish hours of life and eating and drinking. 

And there you have it! I also went to Priceline today, because I had a $5.00 off coupon that I just had to use, so I'll show you all what I bought in the next post. Either today or tomorrow.

Winter Colours!

Makeup Of The Day

 Hey! So, here is my face. I was having a good makeup day and an average hair day.

I love winter, I love coats, hot chocolates and dark lipstick. At the moment I've been going around buying every kind of purple tone or crimson red, and every shade in between lipstick I can get my hands on. 

Today, I was sporting defined brows, pale face (I don't tan), double winged liner, and some purple, berry lips. 

Eyes:

Double winged liner is one of my favourite looks, and its possibly my 'go to'. Its feminine and with the slight twist on the normal winged eye, its just the pop of detail I like. 

I use a liquid black eyeliner for this, the product is the Bourjois Paris: Liner Pinceau 16 Hour

I love this product so much, I've been re-purchasing it for approx 4 years now. I might do a full review on it another time. 

For my lashes I used another Burjois product this one is the Bourjois Paris: Volume Glamour Ultra Curl, as far as mascaras go, I've used better, but this product is really good for my lower lash line, it doesn't get clumpy and gross like others do. I use this every day and its perfect for full natural looking lashes. 

For the colour on my eyes today, I used the Urban Decay Naked 3 Pallet. Its gorgeous, I went for a gold, neutral, pinky look, something soft and not too "focus stealing" as I went for the bold lip. 

 Lips:

There is nothing I can say that is bad about this product, well done Revlon. This is the Revlon Colourburst: Matt Balm in the shade 215 - Shameless. It is a great texture, full colour, it lasts me the whole day with minimum touch ups needed, it stays on through lunch all the way to dinner without going grainy like some lip products do. It is smooth but not 'greasy'. This is one of my statement winter colours. 

Sorry about the iPhone quality

Last but not least in any way shape or form is...

Nails:

These are my natural nail, they're not fake. The colour that I'm wearing on them today is the Sally Hanson: Diamond Strength, No Chip Nail Colour. in the shade 460 - Save The Date. On top of this I have a top coat, also Sally Hanson. It is the: Sally Hanson: Hard as Nails, Xtreme wear nail colour. in the shade 100 -  Invisible.

Close up of it all on my face!

Don't you just love good make-up days?

I sure do.

Phase Two: The Revival

Ok, so its safe to say, I suck at this. 

I'm going get back into things and start over, I've deleted the majority of posts ones that were outdated, etc. 

One year ago (one entire year has passed) I started this, which I find somewhat poetic. So, on today, Friday the 13th of June, I'm going to launch phase two: The Revival. I'm going to stick with this now. 

So, whats been happening with me you ask? Well internet lets just see…

I traveled Europe, 

Park Guel, Barcelona, Spain.

Basically bought a house,

and got engaged!

Its blurry but you get the idea..

So since coming back to Australia, I've got no job, full time study, basically no money, 

actually no motivation and I'm spending more money than I ever have. 

What I'm wearing out.

Hello!

Haven't written in a little while, I've been so busy with Uni exams, but they're finished now, so I have a few weeks off. YAY!

As a way of celebrating, some of my friends and I are going out for some celebratory drinks in the city tomorrow night. 

I thought I might share with you all what I'm going to wear out. (:

Its a pretty simple outfit, Royal Blue lace top, tucked into a wetlook/ leather skirt, sinched around the waist with a bright red belt with a gold accented buckle. 

I'll be paring this outfit with these...

A cute pair of cherry red kitten heels. 

Because of the red belt and red shoes I'm going to have my makeup with a simple eye and a bold red lip. I'll just have my hair down doing its natural thing like it is in this picture.

The necklace I'm wearing here is actually from the show 'Game of Thrones' Its a Dragon Egg, my boyfriend bought for me for my birthday. (I love that show so much and I've always wanted a pet dragon, ever since I was little)

Other jewellery I'll be wearing will be these cute little stud earrings.

Top of the ear: Small flower stud.

Seconds: Pointed stud

Firsts - lobes: Cross stud. 

Never minding the messy floor of clothes thrown about trying to decide what to wear, I think I'm quite a fan of this look and can't wait to wear this outfit out. 

As it is the middle of winter practically and it will probably be cold, I'll probably wear some leggings/stockings/tights and maybe a crop jacket/blazer. 

What do you wear when you go out?
