Savvy by db new pocket rocket kits, lipstick swatch

Hello all today I went to Pricveline in my break to fill out a script and I saw that Priceline had a new collection from Savvy by Db. I have bought a couple of lipsticks from them lately and I love them so when I saw the Pocket Rocket kits for $5 I thought gotta have me some of them! The pocket rocket kits contain loose pigment eye shadows x2 in different colours, eyeshadow and liquid eye liner, lip gloss and lipstick, lip crayons x2, blush powder and blush stick, nailpolishes x2,  powder and concealer! I'll be stocking up on some of these in the near future I am sure these are going to be popular.

 The shade I got is Modern romance and its a lovely creamy lipstick, very pigmented and it does come with a matching lip gloss which I haven't shown yet. I do like the packaging, very sleek and sturdy. The lip stick is very long lasting, certainly over the couple of hours mark. Doesn't dry out the lips at all, I'll be getting more shades.

 I just loved this shade!

have you seen these kits yet?

Easy vintage make up for the no skilled

Hi all today I was looking around for rockabilly inspired chic make up and thought I'd come up with a look that anyone could wear! I only used four products and these were what I come up with.  It's such a quick an easy look to create so if you are feeling inspired and want to change up your everyday make up look then give this a go! no fancy eye liner but you can do a winged eye liner if you want! this is more for my every day wear as I plan on wearing it to class tomorrow.

Covergirl flamed out mascara! I used 3 coats of this, Covergirl intense shadowblast eye shadow in 800 beige blaze, Rimmel London lipstick in temptation, Australis fresh and flawless foundation powder.

I'm having fun playing with my new iphone so these were taken with that! would you guys like to see the finished look tomorrow in proper daylight?

Happy Sunday
Hugs

Friday shopping haul Essence Dark Romance swatches

Hello all today I went shopping with my bestie and I bought 3 makeup products and they are Essence limited edition Dark romance Velvet mousse blush in 02 red romance. I just had to have this shade, I'm rather in love with plum shades of anything at the moment. And this shade is perfect for my fair complexion and its such an odd sponge texture but so so pigmented.

 A cute little glass pot.

 This is how pigmented it comes out without being blended in at all

 This is how it looks blended in, I just so love the shade!

 This is what it looks like in the pot! now I'm worried how it will dry out over time being a mousse product but we will see!

 I bought the limited edition dark romance eye liner in shade 01 black shadow and so far this looks like a great liner. It's very pigmented when swatched.

 There is glitter in it but its not too obvious so I think it will look pretty.

 Last but by no means least the originaly savvy db long lasting matte lipstick in the shade Bali that I have been waning for weeks now! I adore plum shades as I said and this one is amazing.

 I just adore it!

see how pigmented it is? they are so creamy too!

Also in other news I got a new phone today! I got myself the apple iphone 5c model so I'm rather happy! 

hugs happy Friday

Silver Taupe eyes on What's on my face Thursday edition

Hi all on this dreary wet night in Melbourne tonight! I thought I'd share with you my motd today because I did an extra shift at the opshop today as I'm still on school holidays woohoo but boo that its ending soon. However my bestie and I are going shopping tomorrow so that will be fun.

 This look was actually somewhat inspired by a youtuber that I watched this morning! I think it turned out really well even though I didn't use the lorac eye shadow pallet I used what I had. link to video inspiration I of course added eye liner as I don't do make up without some kind of liner haha.

 I am even wearing blush and I always forget to wear blush! I'm wearing Essence blush in baby doll. I love this shade.

 For the actual make up I am wearing Elf eye liner in black, w7 pretty eyes mascara, Australis hidefinition eye brightening eye shadow, Maybelline Quad in Chai latte,  Covergirl intense shadow blast platinum pop 805 (I used this mainly as the base and just on my top lash line, Australis fresh and flawless liquid foundation, Australis fresh and flawless powder foundation and Essence baby doll blush.

I think I re created this look rather well, let me know what you think!

Hugs Happy Thursday

notd Essence ticket to paradise Tropical heat

Hi all today I am wearing a different kind of nail polish than what I am used to! its Essence Ticket to paradise in tropical heat. A yellow toned gold glitter based gel nail polish that I do think is rather pretty though hard on application, at least for me! These polishes were a limited edition and I bout three of the shades.

 it gives a sandy yellow based glow and its rather subtle and pretty all at once.

its sheer and took 3 coats.
what nail colour are you wearing?

Thrift haul ootd what I'm wearing

Hello all! today I'm on school holidays and it has been reasonably nice weather today so I did myself up a little as I had to run errands etc so this is my outfit of the day post for Monday!

 The top I got from the Salvo's charity shop a year or so ago and I adore the print and the way it hangs on me, not fussed with the actual material though as I think its nylon or synthetic. But for $3 its well worth it as I get a lot of wear out of it.

 It's very comfy and can be worn casually like today or in a more dressed up sense as well as I have worn it out a few times to dinner etc.

 Black long sleeved cardigan I bought from a small opshop near my school and I only paid $2 for it, originally from Katies. It fits well and I love light stretchy knits like this to layer up in.

 I bought these black jeans from the opshop near my school as well and I only paid $1! for them, they are so comfy and I love wearing black jeans. I've been living in these ever since as well as my boots! which I got from my opshop that I work at and I only paid $2 for them as I get staff discount! woohoo.So for an outfit that costs less than $10 that's surely a good deal right? do you go charity shopping?

hugs Happy Monday

how to look good without make up

Hello all, how are we? today I want to talk to you about how to look and feel good without wearing any makeup, and I don't mean just at home on your own, I mean when you are out and about, with friends, at school etc. I don't wear makeup every day and I take care of my skin in the hopes that I don't need to wear make up every day so even when I have acne which I do now I generally won't put make up on because I want to let the active acne calm down and heal before putting anything on it apart from skincare.

 These are my top four products that I use either on a daily basis or on a twice a week basis for my skin to look decent. I use the Nivea Cleanse deeper wash/scrun, Himalaya herbals clarifying mud pack which I love! himalaya anti acne and pimple treatment which I also love because it also takes care of hyperpigmentation and my redness. 10.0.1 keep your cool break out calming mask, I also use this kind of like a primer under make up. The Niviea clean deeper daily wash/scrub I use daily and it really unclogs my pores, and helps to reduce build up of sebum production. The himalaya herbals clarifying mud pack is an affordable mud pack at $5 from my local Indian store and it really gets to work on my skin. The anti pimple treatment works wonders well as I suffer from scarring and hyperpigmentation. All of these products are under $9 and very good quality affordable products.

 Now this is hints to look good when taking pics also without make up. This front on angle in the shade doesn't do anything for me, you can see my acne on my chin (hormonal acne) and any wrinkles etc. Everyone has flaws its a fact of life.

but if you change up the hair, to kind of act like a camouflage and distract from your face then you are already making a difference. I also believe sunlight in pics can really help skin look radiant and very pretty without make up.

I know you can still see the acne but I believe looking happy and confident distracts from the acne, and the skin looks healthy and glowy because of the sun.

I do hope these products can help you, and these tips also, let me know if you have tried any?
