Blue and Purple Eyes

The other day I had stayed in all day in my pyjamas so I didn’t bother putting make up on. However at about 9pm I had this sudden urge to put some on so I did, and came up with this.

And here’s a close up of an eye for you:

For the eye look I mostly used shadows from the 120 pro palette that you can get off of ebay here.

 I used the colours circled in Pink on the lid, and then the colours that are circles in Purple were blended into the crease.

For the purple under the eyes I used Fishnet and Ransom (circled in red) smudged on with a small brush. They are from the Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow box.

For a highlight I used an eyeshadow by Natural Collection called Snow storm

 Snow storm is a very pale whitish blue with a subtle blue duochrome finish. I also put it in my inner corner.

I then added mascara and eyeliner to finish the eyes.

On my face I used Mac Prolong wear in nc15, set with Rimmel Stay Matte powder in translucent.

The blush I used is circled in Blue and it is from the coastal scents blush palette.

Finally for lips I used NYX Margarita:

And then topped it off with GOSH Light n shine in 05 Plum:

I chose this picture as you can slightly see the blue sparkle. However it is much more easily visible on the lips so I thought it would compliment the blue/purple on the eyes.

That’s all for now, hope you liked it’

Alice in Wonderland nails

I’m in the middle of doing my nails and waiting for the nail varnish to dry before I Konad it so I figured I’d put up another old picture. Back in June I went out for the birthday of a friend of mine. We all decided to do fancy dress and since I own an Alice in Wonderland costume I went as Alice… which left me with a definite need for funky themed nails.

Here they are:

Simple, I know but I don’t Ever freehand so it was all I could manage.

First I painted 2 coats of a random unnamed white I have then I painted one coat of a Laura Paige white pearl polish called (originally) 08 White Pearl, then topcoat. Next I stamped an individual heart, club, and diamond from plate BM19 on three fingers and an upside down heart on each pinky, I left each ring finger free for a different picture. I then added a stalk to my club and spade in black and using a striper polish, wrote A’s in opposite corners.

On my left hand I stamped a purple cat from plate BM04 and then took and unnamed sparkly bright fuchsia (Brand is True Lover, number 39) and a small detail brush and added stripes to the cat and filled in its ear. I did the same with black for it’s eyes. Presto!  A Cheshire cat!

On my right hand i stamped the cupcake from plate BM14 in blue and green for the ‘eat me’ cake. Then I just added top coat and voila!

Here’s another pic that shows the pearl better:

(Please try and ignore the bubbles, my topcoat had gotten a bit gloopy, but it wasn’t really that noticable nless you scrutinized them)

Looking at these pictures I kinda miss my old nails. I’ve snapped a few and because of the way they snapped I rounded the edges (I go through phases of square and then rounded)

Anywho, hope you enjoyed reading.
