Eyeliners

These eyeliners were on sale at shoppers the other day for such a cheep price. I only own black and brown eyeliner so I decided for the occasional times I want to use coloured eyeliners, I would use these. They are not the smoothest, and you have to go over the line a few times to get good pigmentation. Well what do you expect for $2.50?

Annabelle Eyeshadow Haul!

I recently discovered that i hardly have any purple eyeshadow so I went out and bought 2 Annabelle eyeshadows. I unfortunately tossed the packaging so I don't know the names. There is a light purple and a dark purple. These colours are not that pigmented and I had to go over with my brush a few times to get the pigmentation I wanted. These colours are gorgeous! They are good cheep alternatives for more expensive brands. I am overall happy with my purchases for only $5 each!

Face Care Mini Haul

I was in need of a new cleanser so I decided to try for the first time the "Garnier Skin Naturals" cleanser. It smells wonderful, basically just really clean. I don't have sensitive skin so it works well for me. I also bought the "Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller". I have heard so many raving reviews about this product. I have been wanting to buy it for over a year. I do not have puffy under eyes but I do have dark circles. Over time this is suppose to minimize them so I will have to see how it goes. I love the overall Garnier brand and I have always been happy with their products.

Nicole Nail Polish

I saw this nail polish in Shoppers Drug Mart for about $10 CAD and I had to get it. Its a beautiful purpley/pink and sparkily! It goes on thick so you only need one or 2 coats. The only problem is the smell. All nail polish smells bad, this smells terrible. I can't stand it.

Glitter Eyeliner

The Glitterama Liquid Eyeliner retails for about $10 CAD. It comes in many stunning colours so I chose gold. It goes on smoothly but you need to go over the line a few times to increase the glitter. It is overall beautiful and a great buy for a cheep price.

Tutorial: Winter Wonderland

This look was inspired by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PabO5q5c6cM
It is a icy and wintery stunning look with tones of shimmer.
Step 1: Apply a base to the eye, I used "Two Faced Shadow Insurance"
Step 2: On top, apply a white base to the eyelid, I used "NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil" in "Milk" and blend it in with your finger
Step 3: Apply a white shimmery shadow on the brow bone, on the first half of the eye, in the tearduct and under the first portion of the eye. I used "Ploof" by MAC
Step 4: Apply a light pinky/whitish matte eyeshadow between the brow bone and the eyelid. I used "Yogurt" by MAC
Step 5: Apply a grey shimmery colour on the outer portion of the eye. I used a colour from my "88 warm pallet" by "Costal Scents"
Step 6: Use the same grey colour and place it under the eye lining the eye on the outer portion of the eye
Step 7: Use a lighter silvery blue or silvery pink in the centre of the eyelid
Step 8: Go over the centre of the eyelid with "Ploof" again
Step 9: Line the eyes with a black eyeliner then apply mascara

Tutorial: Wonder Woman Smoaky Eyes

For Halloween I decided to be Wonder Woman. Many makeup tutorials had a neutral eye with bright red lips for this tutorial. I personally do not like lipstick or anything other than lipgloss on my lips so I decided to do a dark smokey eye for Wonder Woman to intensify the look sense it is Halloween and you can go crazy.

Step 1: Prim the eye, I used ‘Two Faced Shadow Insurance’

Step 2: Use a black base and place it all over the lid, I used ‘Black Bean’ by NYX

Step 3: Get a black eye shadow, I used Urban Decay ‘Perversion’ and place it all over your lid then blend it out to soften it

Step 4: Use a grey (I used Urban Decay Gunmetal) and place it above the lid to make a fading effect then under the eye lining the eyes to make a intense line

Step 5: Use ‘Perversion’ again and concentrate it in the crease

Step 6: Highlight the inner tear duct and the brow bone

Step 7: Line the eyes with black eyeliner. I used Urban Decay ‘Zero’

Step 8: Put on your favorite mascara
