GRWM: Dad's Birthday Dinner

Hey Beauties,

So on the 26th (I think, sorry Dad if thats wrong D:) was Dad's birthday. I shouted him out for a nice Thai Meal - though he ended up paying cause I'm a tight ass when it comes to money (I had $100 in my purse. I didn't want to spend it!!) but anyway, we went out, and had a delicious dinner, and I got prepared like 3 hours ahead cause I wanted to do a Get Ready With Me. So I did!

Back to School Quick Look

Hey Beauties,

So its that time of the year for some of us. Returning to School/College/Tafe/University/Whatever it is your doing, and although some schools started 2 weeks ago, I thought right now was a good time to put the tutorial up as I believe Universities go back next week? Anyway. I came up with this quick look which probably took me around 5-7 minutes to do. Cause lets face it. When it comes to school, we don't want to go all out with fake eyelashes, dramatic eyes, heavy foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter (Well you might, I don't) because whats the point? We all have to be awake and ready by 7:30/8:00 and who is a morning person? I certainly am not. Anyway, enough blabbing, heres the look:

For the face I applied Maybelline's Dream Pure BB Cream with 2% Salicylic Acid. I find that this is easy to apply with just your fingers so you don't need too much fiddling around. And it has a rather decent amount of coverage too. Another option is a tinted moisturizer.

On my eyes I went for pretty neutral, matte shades. In my crease I applied Natural Collection's Milk Chocolate which is pretty similar to cocoa powder and I think its the most perfect crease colour ever. I bought this at the op shop brand new, but I'm pretty sure you can buy it on ebay too. On my lid I have Rimmel's Matte shade in 'Dusk'. Now the name doesn't even represent the colour, because when I think of dusk I think of either a pink or a periwinkle but thats just me. Then for mascara, you can choose to use black if its the only one you have, but I had mistakenly purchased Maybelline's Mega Plush mascara in Brownish Black and I seriously don't mind it. I just use it for more toned down looks.

On the lips, you don't want anything too in your face. I think a soft raspberry would be fine, but nothing too POW LOOK AT ME COLOUR BOOM if you catch my drift. So I am using Rimmel's Nude Pink (Shade 206?) which is basically a nude pink with shimmers in it.

If you don't want to have a shimmery lip colour, here are some more options:

Essence - Natural Beauty/All About Cupcake (Very similar shades, one lasts longer and is more matte)
Face of Australia Glossy Crayon's
Face of Australia - Nude Satin

Now this part is completely up to you, but you can apply bronzer/blush if you want. I'd say though its best to only apply the slightest amount as you don't want to look too cake faced at school. The aim for this look is natural remember?

I hope you all enjoyed this look and it gave you some ideas!

Bright and Fun Valentines Day Look!

Hey Beauties,

With Valentines Day...less than nine hours away (I think? I can't count for crap) I thought it was the right time to whip up a little tutorial for you all. I came up with 3 ideas in the beginning, but the other 2 ideas didn't really show up that well on camera, which sucks so bad. Because they were really pretty.

So in the end I decided to upload this one.Which is a very pink, bright and fun look. Not suited for everyday wear, but something you can wear to a party, or something. I quite like coming up with bright looks, so expect t have alot more coming your way.

For the look I used:

Face:
Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation - I forget what shade, I think it starts with a D?
Revlon Colorstay Concealer - Lightest Shade
Revlon Undereye Concealer - Lightest Shade
Mineral Glow Finishing Powder - Ivory (?)
Blush - Unsure of name as its brand new and I had only used it this one time

Eyes:
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
BYS Neons Palette - Neon Pink - Inner Corner
Essence Single Eyeshadow 'Shrimp Me Up' - Outter Corner
Natural Collection Single Eyeshadow - Milk Chocolate - Crease
LA Colors 50 Eyeshadow Palette - Hot Pink - lightly crease

Brows:
I do not fill in my brows, as you can tell they are naturally thick, and I have tried on several occasions to fill them in, and it just does not suit, it makes me look angry in the face, and I just prefer not to have them filled in.

Lips:
Rimmel - ?

Way more crazy looks coming your way! If there is a certain look you want me to try and re-create, comment below.
