Lippies Collection

Hello lovelies,

I swear I'm not a hoarder, but I never realized how many lip products I have and to be honest I hardly use half of them. With that being said I still don't think I could or would ever part with any of them. Who knows when an occasion or outfit may arise that you need that one specific lip colour. To some my collection may seem like a lot and to others, it may not. I don't have a huge makeup collection by any means, but my lip products for sure out weigh the rest. I am not bragging in this post by any means, I just thought that some may be interested in seeing what I have, as I rather enjoy reading and watching these types of blogs/videos.

So with out further adieu, here is my lippie collection....

Blue Christmas - stila holiday series look #2

Hello lovelies,

I am in love with this look. The slight smokeyness and blue on the eyes, makes this the perfect look for any holiday night out. Where this look to work dinner party or even a New Years party. Jazz up the lips with a darker colour for more of a sultry romantic look.

Here are the steps in creating look #2 of my Stila holiday makeup series...

Step1: prime eyes with hard candy sheer envy primer
Step2: using the stila snow angel palette brush #19 eggnog all over lid up to brow bone
Step3: lightly pat #22 merry on the inner corner of your eyelid
Step4: pat on #20 icicle on the rest of your eyelid up to the crease
Step5: using a crease brush blend #28 coal into your crease and also create that "v" shape in your outter corner blend out for a smokey eye
Step6: brush #23 kitten over crease line to blend and also up to brow bone as a highlight
Step7: using a pencil brush take #28 coal and #20 icicle to line your lower lash line to the centre
Step8: Take your stila Stargazer smudge stick waterproof eye liner and line your upper lash line and lower lash line (on top of step #7). Create a slight wing at the end
Step9: using a shimmery white eyeliner line the rest of your lower lash line and water line (mine is from NYC)
Step10: curl your lashes and apply stila's stay all day waterproof mascara for look that will last all night
Step 11: apply your favourite Ardell lashes (I used 120 demi) and bat those purtty eyes!!!

For contour use #12 Shimmery plum
For the perfect pink cheek blend #8 Shimmery peach blush and #3 Shimmery coral blush

For lips I used Mac snob lipstick and stila lip glaze in jolly on top.

You are now ready to rock around the Christmas tree and/or party into the new year with this look!!!

I hope you all enjoyed this look, please leave any and all comments below, I would love to read your feedback and/or thoughts.


Have an awesome night (or morning, depending on when you read this)!!!!!

Stila Holiday Series - Makeup look #1

Hello lovelies,

Sorry this post took a few days longer to get up than I had anticipated, but none the less as promised here is look #1 from my Stila Holiday series that I will be doing!!!

This is the makeup look that I had for the Stila and Adrell launch party from last week. The first part of the tutorial is going to be the makeup that I had prior to the artists doing my makeup at the event and then I will explain how they enhanced and holiday-fied up my look. (I'm not going to go through my foundation and concealer because I have explained it in previous posts)

For contour I used hard candy's baked bronzer in tropics, because I didn't want anything too dark or harsh and this bronzer also has a light golden shimmer to it, perfect for any holiday look. And as for blush I used my maybelline blush trio in purley plum, using a blend of all three colours.

Eyes:
Step1: Prime your eyelids, I am currently using the Hard Candy Sheer envy primer for my face and eyes (which I will soon be doing a review on, because I love it!!!)
Step2: pat foxy(ud nkd2) all over lid as a base
Step3: apply a golden champagne colour all over lid - I used a colour from my maybelline trio (I can't remember the name)
Step4: brush mac rare find mineralized shadow into crease and blend
Step5: pat verve(ud nkd2) into inner corner and also on the inner part of your lower lash line
Step6: lightly pat ydk(ud nkd2) in the middle of the lid and blend on both sides
Step7: use rare find again on the centre to outside of the lower lash line, meeting with verve.
Step8: let's line our upper lash line - mac dark diversion fluid line; create a very slight wing, not too dramatic. Also use this liner on the outer to centre lower lash line
Step9: highlight brow bone using bootycall(ud nkd2)
Step10: line water line with a white shimmery eyeliner
Step11: apply your favourite mascara for a dramatic full lash
Lips:
Step1: use your favourtie chapstick - Ever since I was a kid I have always loved my lip smackers, dr. pepper is my favourite.
Step2: apply a plum purple lip liner as a base all over lips and smudge - or in my case a plum kohl eyeliner, because I did not have a purple lip liner with me. - Rimmel 040 Purple Passion kohl eyeliner
Step3: Lipstick time - use a bright fuscia colour to tone down the purple, so it is not too dark - Rimmel moisture renew 340 lily extase

And that is my look, now to glam it up just the way the stila makeup artist did, here is what you need to do....

Eyes:
Step1: Using the stila Snow Angel Colour Palette - to enhance the eyelid lightly pat on jingle no.24
Step2: to add some definition to the crease use fairy no.30
Step3: to blend and highlight use kitten no.23
Step4: apply your favourite dramatic ardell lashes

Cheeks: Blend together matte plum no.11 and matte berry no.6 blushes, for a light plum cheek
Lips: apply black cherry no.27 lip glaze


We have now completed our look. yay!!!!

I hope you all enjoyed the first look of my weekly holiday makeup series. Please leave all comments and requested looks that you want to see me do below.


Thanks for reading and I hope you all have an amazing day!!!

Concealer: tarte maracuja creasless concealer in fair(for a brighter look) for under my eyes and around my nose to cover redness
L'Oreal True Match Naturale mineral makeup foundation in 464 Natural Beige
NYC Smooth Skin loose face powder in 741A Transulcent - setting powder

Eyes:
Urban decay's Naked2 palette
Step1: brush foxy all over lid
Step2: tap verve into the inner corner
Step3: brush tease over the rest of the lid and blend into verve
Step4: blend busted into crease
Step5: tap snakebite onto the centre of your eyelid
Step6: using a flat brush use busted on the outer half of lower eyelid
Step7: brush verve onto inner corner of lower line
Step8: line outter half of waterline with black rimmel kohl eyeliner
Step9: line inner half of waterline with white NYC liner
Step10: highlight brow bone with bootycall
Essence felt tip liquid liner in black
Almay 3in1 mascara but with my Maybeline one by one brush (I like the Almay formula but prefer my Maybeline brush and I've also run out of my one by one)

Brows: I just brush on a matte taupe colour from my sephora palette with a flat shadder brush and then a shimmery tan on the inner half and blend with a sephora brow brush

Cheeks:
Rimmel Sunshimmer 3in1 shimmering bronzer
Covergirl insta cheekbones in 220 purely plum contouring blush
Start with the middle colour just on top of bronzer contouring, use the lighter shade on the apples of the cheekbone for a soft look and the darker colour for a bolder Fall look. (I used all three.)

Lips:
Brown sephora lip liner
Mac frosted viva glam
Clinique full potential lips duo in colour 16 double plum on the centre of my lips
