Neon FOTD (Day 2/7)

I was feeling a little bit wild after pole fitness tonight so I hope my look also shows that off. As it's late I'm afraid I won't be rambling on much, you're probably glad. Here are the pics;

FACE

Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation in Warm Almond (45)
No.7 Perfect Light Loose Powder in Medium
MUA Blusher - Shade 4

LIPS

Fyrinnae Lip Lustre
Lancome Juicy Tubes

EYES

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Models Own Neon Hot Pink Kohl Eye Pencil (lower lashline)
L'oreal Extra Volume Collagene in Black
Aromaleigh, Hot In The City - Coney Island (crease)
Aromaleigh, Hot In The City - Italian Ice (eyelid)
Aromaleigh, Les Papillons - Flying Flower (lower lashline)

I hope the yellow really pops and stand out to you. The pink pencil and shadow on the lower lashline isn't as bright as it could be, perhaps if I do something similar I will add a touch of the shadow over the top of the pencil to set it. Also I don't think you can clearly see the green crease colour very much  it's a shame I didn't take a picture with my eyes closed because I have actually used a lovely shade - between lime green and grass green! In hindsight I think I was trying not to overdo it because of the bright yellow, but I may have under done it...

Let me know what you think :) xoxo

Bright School Disco FOTD's

I was asked to do the eye make up for two friends who were working at a pub whilst a school disco evening was being held. Below are pictures of the looks we chose together.

First I did Carlene's make up, and it was chosen from a previous FOTD I did: 

I used:
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Aromaleigh Les Papillons in Spread Your Wings - top inner corner

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero
No.7 Exceptional Definition Mascara in black - upper lashes
Barry M Lengthening Mascara in Electric Purple- lower lashes


Then I did Errin's make up and her favourite colour is yellow so I decided to do a gradient look going from bright yellow to a dark shimmery green:

I used:

Eyeshadows from the 120 Palette below

Blue Spark FOTD

I haven't done a FOTD for a bit - so here's todays look. I just opened up my Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol II and went with the flow.

Please note - these pictures were taken after work - so I'd been wearing the make up for about 10 hours - in my opinion it has stayed in place really well!! What do you think? I've not done a look similar to this before and I think the colours have worked well. A green or brown eye pencil on my top lid would have been interesting...maybe next time.

Paramore Shiro Cosmetics FOTD

I've had a busy week and yesterday morning was pretty stressful so I really wanted to get into my bed and sleep rather than go to London and see Paramore. But once I was there I had a lot of fun!!

FOTD - Comfort Green

I feel like whenever I don't have much time to apply make up I go for green! I wonder why that is? I thought to myself - perhaps it's my comfort colour...do we have comfort colours where they will work for different moods?? Who knows...wonder what I'll have on tomorrow!

What do you think of this bright look? Something to get you noticed on a night out?

Fyrinnae Lip Lustres

A few months ago, around the same time that I bought my Aromaleigh stuff I purchased a few bits from Fyrinnae. I think this was probably beause Sirvinya, an experienced beauty blogger was raving about Pixie Epoxy, and I thought I'd try a few other bits too. Plus my partner is always moaning that my lips are sticky when I have lipgloss on!

I can no longer find them on the website, so can only assume they've stopped doing them? Let me know if that's not the case - as I'd like to purchase a few more colours really! I suppose that sums up what I think of them already lol.

The shades I bought are pictured below, in order;

Bare Shoulders

Flavour Of The Day

Lollipop Pop

Trickster

Without flash

I love that they give a lot of colour to your lips and are slightly shimmery. I also love that they are scented, I think Bare Shoulders was cafe latte, and Trickster was mint, but as they're no longer on the website I can't tell you what the others are, but they smell amazing!! You don't need to use too much of it to get a good coating on your lips, meaning even the mini sizes are perfect. Great for evening handbags/clutches too! I don't know what I'd do without these and am so glad I purchased them when I did if they are now not available...

In the picture above I am wearing Bare Shoulders, it was my "go to" nude shade before I bought No.7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Nude Rebellion. It still is my go to nude shade when I don't a heavy look. For me lipstick can always look quite "made up" - sometimes too much for work hence why I wear this in the offie quite frequently. I love the fact that it still looks shimmery but you can't feel that anything is there, and it really does taste great.

Have you got a great product you use when you find some lip glosses are too "sticky"?

FOTD - Aromaleigh Day 7

So today is the last in my series of Aromaleigh looks, but it won't be the last time I use them! It just shows that you don't have to spend much to create so many looks! I can't remember how much I spent exactly but it was only about $1 per sample and even then there was 30% off at the checkout.

This series of Aromaleigh looks seems to have gone by really quickly! Today I have a more neutral look, I am still dying to get an UD Naked palette, but haven't got the money at the moment!
