Contacts!

Hey all! I recently bought some contacts through an online site, and wanted to share with you!

I grabbed 2 pairs, shown below!

I just want to say that my natural eye colour is a pretty dark brown. Look how amazing these contacts are, they cover them completely!

CREATE 3 Tone Aqua


I seriously, seriously LOVE having these in. Every time I catch myself in the mirror I don't want to look away from my eyes! They amaze me :)



They look slightly blue-ish here, but they are pure white!



Link to the site:



Link to 3 tone Aqua:


Link to Zombie:

The company that is running this site is New Zealand based. The currency on the website is USD.

Prices:
The Aqua pair cost $19.95 and the Zombie pair were $40.95.

I believe that to be incredibly cheap!

I do, however, find shipping to be a littttle expensive if you want to be confirmed with a tracking number. Regular shipping with every order is $8.95.
If you want a tracking number or to have them expess posted, you have to add that to your cart BEFORE checkout.

E.M.S shipping with Track and Trace is an extra $19.95 on top of the regular shipping.
Express Shipping with Track and Trace is an extra $34.95 on top.

Anyway, my order came to $94.75 for 2 pairs of contacts, a case (which unfortunately dont come with your lenses) and track and trace shipping. It could be worse!

My order arrived in about 4 days, which I'm extremely happy with! The communication was great too. I got an email thanking me for my order and confirming the date of shipment.

I would definitely order from them again! The contacts feel great in and I haven't had a problem. Go check them out, huuuge range to choose from!

:)

Happy Halloween!


Just a quick post to say HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I hope everyone who celebrated had an awesome time, I know I did! :) Here are a couple of pics of myself and my boy :)

My outfit :)

The makeup!

I really loved this :)

Mainly used MAC Beautiful Iris and MAC My Dark Magic eyeshadow. Super simple, but super gorgeous! I also wore MAC Violetta lipstick which matched my corset perfectly! I forgot to take a photo of my heels :(

I'll be doing a post in a little while about my contacts and where I got them.

Thanks for looking!

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?

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!
