Bright Graphic Eyeliner Smoky Eye Look

Hello!

Have you seen the neon green graphic eyeliner smoky eye look Pat McGrath created in the Atelier Versace Spring Couture 2013 show recently? It was all kinds of amazing and bold. In honour of that look, I've come up with one of my own (not quite as neon...). I hope you like it!

Review and Swatches: Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons

Hello!

Today's review is on the Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons eyeshdaow palette, primer and mascara holiday collection. Before I go on, I feel I have to make my apologies- I'm terribly sorry to have been away for so long- I got caught up in study. Now that that's out of the way, here's the spiel: this holiday collection contains a Shadow Insurance Candlelight Eye Shadow Primer (5g), a 12 eye shadow palette (0.9g each, total 10.8g) and a Lashgasm Mascara (12mL).

Series: Pretty in Pink_Look 2; Vice Palette_Pretty in Pink

Hello!

Here is my latest Pretty in Pink look (also technically the fourth look from my Vice Palette series). This is a brighter, edgier look than the last one (click here). I played around with graphic eyeliner and a darker, brighter pink. I must say I'm really impressed with the wear of Urban Decay eyeshadows. The following pictures were all taken 7 hours after inital application without an eyeshadow primer!

Series: Pretty in Pink_Look 1

Hello!

Have you seen the latest beauty look to come out of Chanel's Cruise 2012-13 Collection? It's very pink. Pink eyeshadow is a bit scary for me. I have friends who wear it well, but for the most part I feel that with my pale complexion, it makes me look a bit sick. I do, however, have a pink-themed event coming up. So, all things considered, I felt that I should try out some pink eyeshadow looks. I will be posting the results of my quest to find a pink eyeshadow look that doesn't make me look ill in a Pretty in Pink eye look series.. Without further ado, here is Look 1:

Holy Grail Foundation: Kat von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation

Hello!

I know I've raved about Kat Von D's Lock-It Tattoo Foundation before- when I reviewed a sample of it in this post- and it wasn't even the right shade for me. Sight unseen, I took a guess at what shade would match me (Light 44, btw) and got a wonderful friend in America to find it for me and bring it back to Australia with her. Why did I have to do that? It's near impossible to get here in Australia. Turns out, it was difficult to find in America, too. The foundation is sold out a lot of the time, and for good reason, too.
