Tutorial: Sunset on the Beach Look

Hey guys,

This is the latest tutorial that I've decided to re-upload from my old channel. This is one of my favorite looks when I created it last year, I love the contrast of the gold and purple. This is also one of my sister's favorite looks which she often asks me to recreate on her.

EYES:
- Two Faced Shadow Insurance
- Indianwood paint pot
- Amber Lights eye shadow
- Inglot #430 (true gold) eye shadow - Goldmine eye shadow would work too, although it wouldnt be as dramatic
- NYX "Milk" jumbo eye pencil
- Naked "Blue Duochrome" pigment - this comes from the Ivory Stack and actually has a number but I don't remember what it is. If you have Vellum eye shadow it would work too
- Cork eye shadow
- Brown Down eye shadow
- Carbon eye shadow
- Vanilla eye shadow
- Non-Conformist fluidline
- Inglot #379 (matte blue-purple) eye shadow - you could also use Parfait Amour eye shadow
- Smolder eyeliner
- Blacktrack fluidline
- Ardell "Demi Whispies" lashes (optional)


CHEEKS:
- Inglot #35 (neutral cantaloupe with silver shimmer) blush
- Inglot #57 (neutral pink-based brown with silver shimmer) blush

LIPS:
- Plastique lipstick
- Pupa Ultra Reflects lipgloss in "#07"

 

 

I hope you guys like this look as much as I do. Please send me photos if you try it out and I'll feature them on my blog. Thanks again

Black and White Lace

I wanted to try a stamp on just a base coat for while now, and this looked like the perfect way to do it. What do you think?

Done with Konad's Special Polish in white and black.

I used Sally Hansen's Diamond Base Coat, which I absolutely love, and Seche Vite Top Coat.

I wore this to work and someone asked me "What is wrong with your nails?" Which kinda sucked. XD

Nail of the Day: Thursday 23rd June, 2011

This week I have been feeling really sick and I haven't been in too much of a happy mood so I decided to paint my nails to make me feel better. The nail polish I chose to use is called China Glaze "Wagon Trail" and is from their Rodeo Diva Collection from 2008. (I currently only have pictures from my old blog to post of my nail polish so I'll update this properly another time.)

As you can see it is a black with a deep golden shimmer. In some lights it can have an olive green look to it but its really is black and gold and is very unique.

I haven't found anything else like this in all my nail polish searching (mind you, I'm not as hung up on nail polish as some people).

I felt like this was the perfect colour for me at the moment because its been so cold and gloomy at my place the past few days with it being winter, I felt like I needed a dark base with a gold flash that might brighten up my day.

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Miscellaneous Foils

This is the final post for my nail foils collection. There has been a lot to go through so I am kind of thankful that I've gotten to the end. All of these foils were purchased by me from Dollar Nail Art. In this post I will be showing you product photos, close up images and brief descriptions of each of the nail foils based on what I think they look like.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

 Black Raven:

Black Raven is a glossy black foil. There is no pattern to it at all, it is ust solid colour.

 Camouflage:

Camouflage is a matte foil which is made up of grey, khaki and green blocks of colour. The pattern of this is sort of like an 8bit version of the camouflage that army officers wear, fairly interesting.

 Champagne:

Like the name Suggests, Champagne is a matte creamy gold colour. It didn't fit in with the gold shades so I just decided to add it to this lot.

 Opal Glitter:

Opal Glitter is a transparent foil with a dot pattern over it. The dots that cover the entire length of the foil reflect a rainbow holographic depending on how the light hits it. As this foil is transparent, it can be applied over any base and create interesting designs thus making it very versatile.

 Opal Swirl:

Like Opal Glitter, Opal Swirl is a transparent foil. The pattern on this foil is similar to that of water ripples which reflect a rainbow holographic design depending on how the light hits it. Like Opal Glitter, this foil is very versatile and can be used over any nail polish base. I tried it out over a black base and it looked like an oil slick, so awesome!

 Snake Skin:

Snake Skin is exactly what the name suggests. This foil is semi-transparent with a black and grey snake skin pattern to it. Like the previous two foils, it can be applied over any coloured base to create an interesting design. This is probably my favorite foil of them all!

 White Marble:
Another foil that is exactly what its name suggests, White Marble is a white based foil with a soft brown marble veining through it. It isn't really that impressive as it reminds me of floor tiles, not something I'd really want on my nails lol.

Tutorial: Golden Beach Sunset Look

YAY! Finally, the first tutorial for my new channel! This has been a long time coming I know but I wanted to get everything set up just the way I wanted it before I started posting anything on Youtube.

This is a really pretty look I came up with that is inspired by a new hair bow I got a few weeks ago. It is a really pretty sequin bow with blue, gold and silver sequins all over it. I thought that using gold and silver in the one look would be a little bit overkill so I changed the silver element to a champagne colour.

EYES:
- Indianwood paint pot
- Fade eye shadow
- All That Glitters eye shadow
- Inglot #430 (true gold) eye shadow
- Contrast eye shadow
- Inglot #61 (black with blue shimmer) eye shadow
- Vanilla eye shadow
- Pure Show super slick liner
- Prized eye shadow
- Inglot black liquid liner
- Smolder eyeliner
- Ardell "105" lashes

CHEEKS:
- Inglot #53 (light coral brown with silver shimmer) blush

LIPS:
- Inglot #03 (light pinky brown) lipstick
- Ingot #545 (holographic orange) lipgloss

Cream & frozen eyeshadow from KKcenterhk-Review, Swatches+EOTD

Hi ladies,
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!So today I have two things to review and I hope you find them interesting...take a look at what I have for you today:First is a Meilasu black cream eyeshadow PM13 from Kkcenterhk.




What it claims:

Long Wearing, Colorfast

Net weight:

5.8 g

I usually don't prefer cream eye shadows on my lids as they do tend to crease giving a bad look. But when I saw this one...I was really tempted to give it a try so here I have it with me now.

The good points:

It's highly pigmented and of a very good quality.

Has a soft, creamy and buttery texture.

Easy to blend.

Unlike other cream eye shadows it does crease much and that's the best part in it.

A wide range of shades is available at KKcenterhk.

Very decently priced- $2.80 only!!!

Staying power is quite impressive.

The packaging is very graceful.

The swatch:

The bad points:

As I had mentioned before that this cream shadow does not crease much as others tend to do...but still even this one after 1-2 hours starts creasing. But anyways I won't mind it that much as creasing is in the nature of almost every cream eyeshadow...isn't it??

Overall:

Overall, I would say that this cream eyeshadow is one of the best one that I've tried till now and would surely recommend it to others if you're in search of a good cream eyeshadow.

Rating:

4/5

So ladies, that was the first thing and now comes the second one which is Love Alpha frozen eye color PF09 from KKcenterhk.

What it claims:

Bright Shining Jewel-Like Sense Of Penetrating Eyes. Hydra-Rich Stretch Of The Jelly Textures Eye Color.

Net weight:

10 g

This is the first that I've ever used jelly frozen eyeshadow from any brand. But this looked really interesting so thought of giving it a try...take a look at what I feel about it-

The good points:

Love Alpha frozen eye color delivers shimmery, relatively intense color with one swipe.

Has a creamy, soft and a bit sticky texture.

It's quite lightweight and it can beautifully decorate the eyes.

It's a multipurpose shadow and can be used as a base, for shimmers, as a shadow, as a glitter eyeliner as well.

Gives a light, slightly cool feeling to the eyelids.

The packaging is very beautiful, especially the lid!!! Quite similar to Jill Stuart jelly eye shadows.

Enough content so it'll last long.

Decently priced-$3.30

Here is the swatch:

The bad points:

It creases badly without a proper base:(( That's the reason why I seldom use is as a shadow alone.

Does not apply properly and evenly on the lids. You'll need many layers of it to get the perfect shade.

Very difficult to remove...only a good makeup remover can remove it quickly otherwise it's a very difficult task using almond oil or cleanser.

It's very glittery so can only be used on special occasions. And if you dislike shimmery eye shadows this is not a product for you.

Overall:

Overall I can say that my experience with this jelly shadow was neither a wonderful one nor a bad one....so it was a mixed one which you can surely see if you go through the pros and cons of this product. But I did find this a lovely and interesting product and if you think you can manage to use this you surely should give it a try.

Rating:

3.50/5

And now after these boring reviews I would like to show you an EOTD which I did using the cream and jelly eye shadows. Take a look:

Shades used:

Black cream eyeshadow all over the lids

PF09 jelly eyeshadow as a liner and on the brow bone in the form of dots

So guys hope you liked today's post :D Don't forget to tell me about it through your lovely comments!!!

Have a great week!!
