An artist spends time in preparing his canvas, to create a masterpiece. We should treat our skin a bit like a canvas, and spend time taking care of it, so we can achieve great results. Developing a good skin care routine is the secret to amazing skin and flawless makeup. There are five main skin types, and you should identify what type you have, so you can choose which products best suits you. They are: 1. Normal Skin : Vibrant and supple skin, hardly ever any breakouts, regular sized pores. 2. Dry Skin : Tight skin, may have a few… Read More »

The M·A·C Venomous Villains Collection…Swatches.

BEAUTY, SHOPPING
October 12 2010

Sinister  Sinister is a lustre lipstick from the Evil Queen Collection. It applies on quite sheer and I think it’s better used with a lip liner and a gloss on top, rather than on it’s own, however it is a lovely shade and seeing as plum lips are trending, it’ll be great for some of us that don’t want to go all out with a deeper plum! Zoom Fast Black Lash I LOVE this Mascara! Here I applied two coats.Easy application, doesn’t clump, and makes my lashes look a bit more volumised. I also really like the formula, it’s not… Read More »

I wanted to try out my new Makeup Store eyeshadow in Sunrise today. It’s probably my new favourite shadow (After MAC’s Amber Lights). It’s a shimmery pigmented Orange that applies very smoothly onto the lid. I have it on with a winged eyeliner and defined lashes (Some mascara and falsies). I also used it as a blush for my cheeks!  What I have on the rest of my face: MACs MSF Natural TBS Bronzer YSL’s Golden Gloss No. 30 While rummaging through my nail polish drawer, I found an old favourite of mine, Rimmel’s 60 Seconds Nail varnish in sunrise,… Read More »
