Models Own Beetlejuice Collection Preview. — November 2, 2011

Models Own Beetlejuice Collection Preview.

Today I recieved the Models Own Beetlejuice Collection so here’s a preview of the colours.

It’s got to be said, I am so happy that I got these, they’re lovely.

First up is Pinky Brown Beetle. Looking at the bottle I can see red, pink, orange and an olive green.

Aqua Violet Beetle. The main colours in this are aqua and violet (weird right?)But there seems to be a little pink flash in there too.

Purple Blue Beetle. This is the one I’m currently wearing and it’s really nice. The overall base is a grey colour, but it flashes a rich purple, a fuchsia or a minty blue. It’s truly gorgeous!

Golden Green Beetle. This is a chartreuse green colour that flashes Emerald green and gold.

Emerald Black Beetle. It seems black but it flashes dark blue and green.

This is an awesome collection and all of the colours except Pinky Brown can be found at: http://www.modelsownit.com/

Thanks for reading, and I really hope you enjoyed this post.

Swatches of Purple Blue will be up later!

Blue Enamel Necklace — October 25, 2011

Blue Enamel Necklace

Another jewellery post today, and I’m showing you another necklace. This is a necklace that I bought in Malta (along with the last one!) There was so much beautiful and unusual jewellery there that I simply couldn’t resist! I bought this necklace in a small shop on the seafront. I went in to browse and immediately spotted this necklace up by the till, I had to own it!

There is seriously so much going on on this necklace, which is probably why I love it so much! There are bronzey coloured vines, and on top of them are some blue enameled flowers. However, as well as the flowers there is a pink and blue enameled butterfly, a red ladybird, sequins, diamantes, bits of shell, there is just so much going on on it, which is why I love it !

Hope you all enjoyed this post, and thaks for reading!

What’s your favourite type of jewellery?

Blue and Purple Eyes — September 15, 2011

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’

Turquoise Tiger — September 1, 2011

Turquoise Tiger

Hey guys just a quick photo of the nails I currently have at the moment:

This is Barry M Turquoise and I stamped on it using konad Black pearl and the second set of bundle monster plates. Gotta be said I LOVE Barry M nail varnishes! They apply lovely and have some really vibrant colours!

Anywho, hope you all like it!
