Snow Fairy Makeup Look

Do you ever begin a makeup look with just an idea, and as soon as you begin you realise it isn't going to end up how you wanted it to? Well that's exactly how this look started, but I somehow managed to turn it around.

I thought it would be a really awesome look to film, something really creative and different, until I began applying the white makeup all over my face. It started to become horrible patchy, probably because silly me just used a moisturiser instead of a primer as well, so I gave up completely on filming it. I did, however, decide to keep going with one side, just to see how it would have turned out and I'm so glad I did. I think it looks really cool!

This was the first time I've done a white eyelashes look, and it took me days to get all of this shit off! Haha.


EYES:
NYX White Eyeshadow Base
Sugarpill Poison Plum
Coastal Scents Blush Too Palette (Purple)
Sugarpill Lumi Loose Eyeshadow
MAC Reflects Teal Glitter
Random Reflective White Glitter
MUFE Flash Palette
NYX Half lashes-customised by me


FACE/LIPS:
Mehron Paradise Prisma Blendset(White)
Sugarpill Poison Plum (contour, lips and brows)
Coastal Scents Blush Too Palette (purple)
Pink Lipgloss from Sephora


I would really love to know what you think of this look!

Thanks for stopping by!

MAC Pigment Haul + Swatches

As promised, here is my MAC pigment haul and swatches. I bought these from a wonderful, trusted seller I came across through Specktra. I'm sure many of you know who she is, Cheryl (1165Cheryl). She is sooo nice and very helpful :)

The sizes are 1/2 tsp! Soooo much!

These are the colours I got:

The cool thing is, when you buy 8, you get one free 1/4 tsp of mac pigment. She lets you suggest a few colours you would like for the freebie, then she randomly picks one you suggested so it turns up as a suprise! My freebie was Blue, and I absolutely LOVE it :)

Have a look at how generous these sample sizes are!









This is the business card that came with my order


The samples were packages very nicely. They all had tape around them to make sure none spilt, and one thing I'm very pleased with is the fact the tape did NOT leave any annoying sticky residue after peeling it off. Not one little bit!

Shipping time was incredible!! Just less than a week to get all the way over to Australia :D

Cheryl has suchhh a huge range of MAC pigments to choose from, including rare and hard to find.. such as burnt burgundy. I'm SO glad I could get my hands on that! And they are 100% authentic. She keeps the receipts of her purchases and encourages people to ask to see them.

Nowww, onto some swatches...

Thanks for looking!
