Heyyy followers! Just wanted to share with you today's FOTD featuring MAC's Tilt eyeshadow.

Villainous

Hellooooooooo! :)

I just wanted to do a mini post showing makeup I did for a contest last night! I love the way it turned out, and considering I'm going as a cliched "sexy" witch (and refusing to call it that) or something for a halloween party,I figured I might just do something similar on the night! I have a purple corset on its way in the mail, and got a suuper cute purple mini witch hat from Spotlight. Can't wait :D

Here's the look:



Products:
  • Naked eyeshadow base
  • Mehron Paradise makeup - white
  • random neon-ish purple pigment (I think it was a free sample I was given with an order from Calypso Minerals quite some time ago. It has no name :/ but its insanely bright!)
  • My Dark Magic (Venomous Villains)
  • Sugarbaby 'Pink Blink' (pink loose eyeshadow with insane blue/purple duochrome, eyebrow highlight - also used as cheek highlight)
  • Blacktrack Fluidline
  • Madam Lash 'Von Teese' False Eyelashes

  • NYX Purple Velvet Jumbo Pencil (as lip liner)
  • MAC Violetta Lipstick
  • MAC Reflects Duo Purple glitter (in centre of lips)
I would love to know what you all think, as well as any other ideas or suggestions for my halloween makeup. Thanks lovely followers! :)

Rant!

I seriously cannot believe the amount of FAKE MAC SHIT on ebay. Its ridiculous!

And the amount of people bidding on these items is even MORE ridiculous!

I honestly wish I could post a comment on the auction pages saying to the stupid bidders that its all fake.

Does this look even remotely real to you?
Its even listed as a Pro item...WTF?!

Orrrr this?? Also listed as Pro by the same seller.

FAKE!

A 180 palette, listed as MAC, 20 bids...$75?!?!

"Was $100 Now reduced to $79.99!! Limited Offer, Must hurry!"

You have GOT to be kidding me!

I seriously can't believe people fall for this shit...

I really wish there was a way to get the message out there!

So.. have any of YOU been fooled?

Rant = fin.

She Who Dares + extra's!

This is the look I did today before going to Uni. I wanted to use a couple new items...Tilt eyeshadow and She Who Dares mineralize eyeshadow... so I combined the 2!


After priming, I applied Tilt in the crease to begin with. I then used the blue side of She Who Dares wet and placed it all over my lid, then blended that into Tilt. I added it to my lower lashline, then used a damp pencil brush to pick up the green side of She Who Dares, and added that to my inner corner very lightly.

I have to say, I am LOVING these Mineralize eyeshadows from Venomous Villains. I only wish they had made one with a red glitter and sparkle in the black base!

And here is a look I did while in Queensland. Sorry for the somewhat shitty photos, most of them didn't turn out!



I believe I used NYX Black all over the lid, Aromaleigh's Mourning Whimsey in the crease, and MAC's Later pigment over the black to add some sparklies :)

And finally, my new love...Violetta lipstick!

I was SUPER cautious about buying this lipstick.. I've never really been one for bold lips. But you all know I LOVE purple, so I figured I may as well.

And I LOVE it! :)

(Yeah, the pic is minorly edited.. mostly the eye. But I think Violetta is still brighter than this in real life!)

Thanks for stopping by, hope you're all well!

Another Venomous Villains Post!

There are already 1 Million and 1 blog posts and youtube videos showing hauls and swatches... But thats not gonna stop me doing mine! :)

I was determined to get my hands on these goodies, yet I'm still surprised I actually managed to do it! Especially since the collection was released here in Aus while I was on holidays in Queensland! But I was there early that morning, early enough to be the first customer for the day AND the first to purchase any of the VV products. Stoked!

Anyway, onto my haul...

I only bought 6 things, mainly because I was pretty broke after the holiday, and I only wanted to get the things that were really unique and that I had nothing similar to. Most of which were from the Maleficent sub collection.

I got:
  • Formidable Nailpolish (Maleficent)
  • Her Own Devices Beauty Powder (Cruella)
  • Violetta Lipstick (Pro) (Maleficent)
  • She Who Dares Mineralize Eyeshadow (Maleficent)
  • My Dark Magic Mineralize Eyeshadow (Maleficent)
  • Revenge Is Sweet Lipglass (Maleficent)







Violetta lipstick, Revenge Is Sweet, Revenge Is Sweet (sheered out)





Sparklies!

The mineralize eyeshadows swatched over a black base:
My Dark Magic (pink, purple), She Who Dares (blue, green)

Her Own Devices beauty powder.


I looove all my goodies. SO glad I bought Violetta! Its the first bold lipstick I have bought ever, and I love it! So much that I'm wearing it to a halloween party!

It has also given me a bit of confidence.. so I have been stalking ebay for Toxic Tale! :) Hope I can get my hands on it.. but I don't want it to melt on its way here if it has to come from America :/

If you were on of the lucky ones, feel free to tell me what you bought and what you think about it all. I'd love to hear :)

Love love,

I'm Back!!

Hey all, long time no speak!
I'm back from my holiday, and had such an awesome time!
Not sure if anyone is interested, but here are a few shots from the trip :)


The view overlooking Surfers Paradise in Queensland from our hotel room.


The view during the day.


The boyf and I :D



A gorgeous white tiger at Dreamworld.

I had an amazing time and was lucky enough to be able to grab some Venomous Villains goodies the morning it was released here in Aus. I was the first customer of the day AND the first to buy any of the VV collection at the MAC counter in Pacific Fair Shopping Centre :D Stoked!

More of that in an upcoming post :)
