Classic cream and a total glitterbomb

I love MAC Liquidlast liners, they seriously don't budge. I like to use Classic Cream to do a really simple eye look when I'm in a hurry and need my makeup to last all day.

This was a super glittery look I wore out a few nights ago. With Pixie Epoxy as a base I can wear all those great Urban Decay glitterbomb eyeshadows like Uzi, Midnight Cowboy and MCRA. I also used my new Barry M glitter liner, which I will review soon. It was dark when I took these pictures so they're not great.

What an attractive picture :p

I love how Midnight Cowboy Rides Again looks over Pixie Epoxy. I've always liked the colour (so much so that I have 3 of them) but I do find it to be a bit of a glitterbomb and that once I start blending the glitter disappears from my eyes. But over the Pixie Epoxy the glitter stays put, so happy days!

Can I just say how much I am in love with Pixie Epoxy? 

All those loose shadows I've had lying around are getting so much love right now.

I finally found my Freckletone lipstick! It's been missing for a month or two, which was super annoying because it's my go-to nude. I was considering buying a new one but at €17 or so a pop it wasn't something I was looking forward to, especially since the one I lost was still at least half full. 

But I was tidying last week and I found it down in the bottom of a shopping bag. :D

Russian Red or Chlorophyll?

Oh dear. My little brother is making me watch Deep Blue Sea and it's terrifying! I can't deal with movies where science goes wrong and mutated versions of things start killing people. Godzilla and I am Legend are seriously my least favourite movies ever. 

It's weird though, because I love horror movies. The movies that I'm supposed to find scary make me laugh and the movies I'm meant to find ridiculous leave me shaking and hiding behind the popcorn. Bloody typical. On the subject of horror movies though I can't wait for Halloween! It my favourite time of year and my favourite holiday. I love getting dressed up and eating lots of spooky food and drinking luridly coloured drinks. I haven't decided what to dress up as yet for this year so I'll have to get on that. 

Anyone else love Halloween? Know what you're dressing up as yet?

I have some FOTD's to catch up on

My Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy arrived during the week so I've been using it since. I'll do a review on it after I've had a little more time to see how it holds up to creasing and such but so far I love it. It really makes colours stand out and it makes loose eyeshadows a lot easier to apply. My Fyrinnae shadows have been getting an awful lot of love this week.

FOTD 7 Oct '10

I did this FOTD using mainly the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette. 

Face:

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

17 Translucent Loose Powder

MAC MSFN Medium

MAC Hipness Blush

Bourjois Highlighting Powder

So for my face I applied the foundation to my moisturised face, just using my fingers. I brushed a little powder over this with the ELF Studio Powder brush and blended it into my neck and hairline. With a MAC 168 brush I used the MSFN to contour, applying it in a kind of '3' shape on my temples, under my cheekbones and under my jaw, then I brushed Hipness onto my cheeks with a MAC 187. With a Ruby & Millie flat foundation brush I highlighted my cheeks, nose, cupids bow and chin. 

Eyes:

UD X, Homegrown, Maui Wowie, Oil Slick and Chopper e/s

MAC Orb & Spiced Chocolate e/s

Fyrinnae Wicked e/s

UD Yeyo 24/7 liner

Essence Asia blue liner

Maybelline The Colossal mascara

I applied a layer of UDPP all over my eyelid and over that I brushed on X all over the lid and browbone with a large eyeshadow brush. With a small flat eyeshadow brush I patted Homegrown to the lid and a little above the crease, blending it into X. Chopper was put in the outer 1/3 of the lid and blended into Homegrown. To darken it up a bit I dipped a crease brush into Oil Slick and then into Homegrown, mixing the two on the brush before blending them into the crease. I used Orb to blend out the edges and highlight before applying Yeyo to the inner corner of my eye and using a MAC 219 to pat X over it. I lined my upper and lower waterlines with the Essence liner and then lined the outer half of my upper lashline and all my bottom lashline with it and setting it with Wicked. For my brows I used MAC 208 to fill them in with Spiced Chocolate. Lastly I curled my lashes and put on mascara. 

Lips: 

UD Ozone liner

So you know how I bought new foundation last week? Well this week the foundation I bought is on special offer in Boots. Grr. There is a new Bourjois foundation on sale, called Bio Detox. It's nice that it's natural but I doubt I'll be buying it because when I swatched it it the coverage looked too thick for my liking. It reminded me of Revlon Colourstay a little and it dries very fast.

I bought an Essence mascara yesterday, the Multi Action one. I've yet to try it but I've heard good things about it. I'll do a review in a few days.

FOTD 27 Aug 10

So today I decided to use my new Lacura lashes. I don't usually wear false lashes, before this I'd only ever worn the weird ones with feathers and glitter and stuff for fancy dress. Considering I'm not used to applying them I don't think I did too bad, although they're not quite close enough to my lashline.

Wow these pictures make me realise how badly I need a haircut. I can't decide though if I want to keep it long(ish) or get it cut short again.

And a black and white photo, I'm trying to get some nice black and white pictures to put in my portfolio for my interview, since I'm sure I'll have to do makeyp for black and white photography in my course. If I get it, fingers crossed! 

I went shopping today, got a few bargains. 

The dress was €2 from Penneys, the falsies were 50c from there too. 

I got this 17 Bronze palette a few days ago, my sister was buying some nail varnish from 17 and this came free. It's got 2 eyeshadows, a brown and a cream. A golden bronzer and a gold-brown lipgloss. 

The other two items are a 17 nail polish, on clearance for €1.50, which I was going to buy for €5 a few weeks ago, and a Revlon lipstick, Black Cherry, which was €3 reduced from €10.50. The polish is black with silver sparkle and is gorgeous! The lipstick is a dark cherry-plum and very nice and creamy. I'll post swatches tomorrow, the light's too bad now. 

Yellow and Green & Alice in Wonderland BOS FOTDs

These are two more FOTD's from the last week. The first is more yellow with a turquoise liner. I love the colour of this liner but it takes an age to dry, you need to keep your eyes closed for 5 minutes at least after applying it or else you get a line of green under your eyebrows which is exactly what happened to me here. I tried to fix it but you can still see a green tinge.

I have less than two weeks til my interview for the makeup course I want to do this year so I'm trying to get as much practise in as I can. I still need to decide what makeup to wear into the interview, it's early in the morning is I don't want to go for something too complicated in case I mess it up in my sleep deprived state. I like this second look and it's fairly foolproof but would it be a little too simple to wear to my interview?

2 xsparkage inspired looks

I love Leesha's blog and often look there for inspiration. Her video tutorials and reviews are so helpful. Last week I was in a bit of a rut so I took a look at her site and found two looks I loved and wanted to try out. My attempts weren't anywhere near as nice as hers but I was still quite pleased with them. 

Candy Dots

I was quite please with this look, until I added the eyeliner. I messed it up and as I was trying to fix it I messed up my eyeshadow a bit.

FOTD Catchup

I've got a good few to put in here, so I'll just run through them quickly. 

Zombie Makeup! We went to a zombie walk and it was great craic! It was so funny seeing everyone dancing in the club after still in full zombie makeup. It looked really cool when I was pulling it off. 

I used: Liquid Latex, tissue, MAC Paints (Flammable and the black one), red, black and blue Lipstick, red powder eyeshadow, white greasepaint, MAC Electric Eel e/s (for the green skin tinge) and MAC Carbon e/s with MAC Myth lipstick on my lips.

A NOTD, I've forgotten what colour this is and it's bothering me because I really liked it. I'll have to have a hunt around and see if I can figure it out.

I don't really know how I feel about the next look, I felt it was a little over the top so I swapped the lipstick for a nude one before I went out. Maybe it was just because I filled in my eyebrows which I don't normally do, I feel it looks a little too dramatic.

This look photographed horrendously, so I wont go into much details. It's basically Grape pigment and Sweet Chestnut over Graphito. It was lovely in person though, I'm annoyed I didn't get decent photos.

And that's all folks! I have a 17 nail swatch and review post coming up soon, I might have it done by today if I have the time.
