Black Gold

 Hi Sweethearts,

I've decided that I'm definitely going to use my days off to post some fun makeup looks as it's the only chance I get to play around!

This time I've went for a darker look, inspired by the wig I uncovered in my back bedroom aka the walk in wardrobe. >.<

Now that Halloween (one of my favourite times of the year!!!!) is coming up, it's giving me a lot of motivation to have some fun with my face again!
    I'm also currently trying to learn to drive, so had my first experience of night driving this week - I was so scared!!! We did see a badger on the way back though - something I've not seen in a while!

This is a little hark back to my more gothic, darker styled years - with a dramatic smokey eye and dark lip combo.

It feels really weird to see myself with super dark hair and makeup again, but somehow I can never stay away from it!

I really do love how the dark colours bring out my eyes in this!

Products used:

Rimmel Match Perfection liquid foundation
Max Factor Pan Stick (for initial contour)
Makeup Revolution Concealer stick
Rimmel Stay Matte powder
Sleek Contour Palette
W7 the cheek of it blush
Makeup Revolution Highlighter - golden lights

Rimmel Glam Eyes, Golden eye 5colour shadow
Barry M Dazzle Dust - Gold
Makeup Revolution liquid liner - black
Etude House play101 pencil - black
Miss Manga Mascara
False lashes - active
Etude House Play 101 Pencil (used as lipliner) brown
Rimmel Kate matt lipstick 107 wine red


Such a short post I know, but next time I'll have something slightly longer as I picked up some new products after having to throw out a binliner full of old and unused product *sniff* - so now my collection is looking super bare!

What do you think? Are there any products that you think I should check out? Let me know below! 
Love,

Onee-Gyaru Makeup (Tutorial)

Hi Sweethearts,

Sorry for the lack of post last week! I was off on a trip back to visit my family in Germany, so didn't really have time to finish up my video posting, sorry! >.<'
(I'm going to post about my Germany Trip once I finish sorting through all the pictures that I took over there!)

So, after my eye incident, I've been having a break from Circle Lenses to let my eyes get back to fully functioning, and also having to avoid bottom lashes at the moment as they make my eyes water T_T

With that in mind, I've been seeing a good few Gyaru makeup looks that haven't used any bottom lashes, so I decided to give it a bit of a whirl and make a tutorial to go along with it!


Here are a couple of pictures of the makeup look (sorry, I didn't get round to styling my hair as it was a loooooooooooooooooooong day!) 

Here is the video to the tutorial, where I also put captions for my work process:

Wow, now that I've written it all down, it looks like a LOT of makeup, right?
 I do have to confess to being a product fanatic, though I never really realise just how many items I use until I have them all written down...oops!

Anyway, I hope that you watch and like my video tutorial - I was also thinking about doing pictorials for my looks to go with my blog postings if anyone is interested in that? Let me know your thoughts below!
