spacey wacey timey wimey

So i've been watching a little too much doctor who lately.. i got a little inspired. BUT i'm kicking myself that i didn't think to put a tardis in. Oh well it's space and nebulas and stuff :D

I created this look using the following:

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows

• Corrupt
• White Lies
• Neptune

Sugarpill Eyeshadow

• Poison Plum

Lime Crime Eyeliners

• Lunar Sea
• 6th Element

hope you like it!! :D

makeup geek - gel liners and lipstick swatches

So not long ago, i received a package from makeup geek, asking if i'd like to review some products :)
Because i've been sick and busy with work and tired and lots of things, i just haven't been able to try them out. BUT today i was able to swatch them and tomorrow i'll be trying some out for work.

So these are what the gel liners look like (images are from their website, the light was terrible on my shots):

mystic

immortal

poison

rave

treasure

electric

cottontail

and the lipsticks:

adorable

captivating

ravishing

 

and these are what the swatches looked like on my arm, i tested them both with and without eyeshadow underneath:

Just from the swatches, the gel liners are very pigmented, although be careful when applying over eyeshadow, the liner started blending in with the shadow if i went over it too many times. best thing to do would be, apply 1 coat, let it dry and then keep applying. They dry pretty well, great for a smudge proof makeup!

They were easy to apply though! Obviously gel liners aren't meant for delicate detail but a decent lined lid these are perfect! poison is one i cannot wait to try out, as well as rave :D

As for the lipsticks, these would best be applied using powder between layers, to get the brightest and most pigmented look from them. I'm hoping to try these out soon, i don't have lip pencils at the moment, and not the biggest lips, so i can't wear them yet. But from the swatches they look fantastic! :)

As soon as i do a look with these i'll post it and update you with wearability!

Retail price:

Gel Liners: $7.99 each

Lipsticks: $7.99 each

They are affordable and the postage was really quick considering i live in Australia! Makeup Geek is definitely a company i would trust to provide decent makeup with a lovely reputation! :)

COOKIES OM NOM NOM

i actually had this look planned out for the last year and a half, i totally forgot i wanted to do it until i saw something cookie monster related on the net. some blue lipstick and 1 cookie later i came up with this lol

it was heaps of fun to do and if you're wondering, the lipstick is called No She Didn't from Lime Crime. also.. the cookie was delicious :D

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner!! So celebrate in style ;)

I'm in love with how this turned out! I've never really braved doing a beauty look in green before because of how hard it is to pull off without it looking gross and sickly but for St. Patrick's day it's perfect :P

Storm from Marvel's X-Men

So i thought i'd try and do an X-Men series starting off with Storm. Whenever i think of her, i instantly just picture the lightning and rolling clouds and her crazy white eyes, so i put it all together :)

Initially i wanted the clouds to look a little darker but the sun was starting to go down and i was running out of time to get the shot :p But i still really like how it came out and this is just an interpretation :)
 

Valentine's Day

Love was in the air.. so why not wear something that suits the mood ;)

I have to admit i have THE SHAKIEST HAND EVER, so being able to successfully draw all the hearts without smudging or messing them up was an achievement in itself, i didn't even care if people hated the look i was just happy i finished it lol.

But i am proud of this one it came out beautifully :) and i'm aware my eyebrows need plucking lol just ignore that :p

Got a case of the Winter Blues?

I noticed everyone was starting to get sick of the freezing cold weather, so i decided not everything has to be gloomy :p

This was a really fun look to do, i love trying to see how far i can go with eyeliner and colours :)
You could also turn it from this into a Poison Ivy look.. or a snake :p
