Picture Tutorial: Blue, Purple, Green and Black Eye Makeup

Computer is fixed! I just had to get a new PSU and it was up and running again. Thank god it was only just that, because I thought it was the motherboard and if it was then I was going to be in big trouble.

Anyway I didn’t like how this one turned out but I decided to post it anyway. I haven’t done anything this colourful in a long time now and I thought some of you guys might appreciate it.

I don’t remember what I used exactly, but I did take photos of the actual colours I use so I’m sure you guys can find dupes for it. I think if you own a 120 palette or even and 88 shimmer palette you’ll be able to find colours like it.

Step 1: Start off with a nice clean eye by ridding of excess oil on the lid

Bad News

Just popping in to announce a bad news!!!

My computer died, and it didn't die because it was virus infected but the fact it won't turn on/power on.  Meanings either my PSU or Motherboard is dead :(
I'm not sure when I'll have time to get it fixed but I'll do it as soon as I can.  So in the mean time I may not be blogging for a bit or I might just have to blog very little.  My laptop is very old back from my uni days so it's slow and I don't have the editing programs I use to edit my photos.

Anyway I will try to update my blog as much as I can, but if I can't I'll continue to take photos of reviews/swatches and FOTDs/ETODs as well so I can blog them when I finally get my computer fixed.

Have a great week :)

Inglot Cosmetics Swatches and Review

I know some of you guys have being waiting for this post for a long time and I apologise for the delay. This one actually takes a lot of time since I’m a bit of an Inglot Cosmetics obsessed. I thought I would start off with a description of Inglot Cosmetics that is taken directly from their website.


“INGLOT Company was established over 25 years ago by Wojtek Inglot, a young chemist working at that time in R&D department in pharmaceutical company.


His principal objective was to produce high quality products at fair and reasonable prices, using only the best possible ingredients and raw materials from the most reputable suppliers.


Wojtek Inglot is still directly involved in the formulation and design process of all new Inglot products.


All Inglot cosmetics are produced within the European Union and 95% of them are manufactured in our own state of art production facilities.


We work with make-up artists and colour consultants to bring the latest trends in colour, texture and form to the market. We are constantly developing new products and have just launched the world’s first ever Breathable Nail Enamel ensuring better health care for nails whilst enhancing their beauty.


Our unique Freedom System allows customers to experiment with countless shades and colour combinations of different face products, giving them the opportunity to create their own customized colour palette.


We are present in 240 retail locations worldwide.”

Prepare for some heavy loads of photos because I own 50 Inglot eyeshadows, 4 blushes and 8 gel liners. This is going to be one very long post because after the swatches and review I will relay some Australian prices.

Inglot Cosmetics Obsessed much?

FOTD 12/02/2011

A beautiful sunny day in Perth today so there was nothing better than going for some afternoon tea at one of my favourite café.  I seldom go because it is a bit of a drive from where I live but today I just had to go.  I was back in heaven tasting the delicious sweets they offer.

Choux Cafe having afternoon tea with a great friend :)

 Choux Café


93 Shenton Road

Swanbourne, Perth


The café is located in a very odd location, surrounded by houses so it’s relatively quiet but inside it was still busy, but since we went later it was had quiet down already. We had the whole back seating area to ourselves and it was so good to sit down with a glass of ice coffee and some sweets to quench our tastebuds.

NYX Round Lipstick and Lip Gloss Swatches and Review

NYX being a popular affordable makeup brand, but today I’m only here to share my thoughts and swatches of the round Lipstick and Lip Glosses that I own from this brand. I may not own all of them in the collection but I own enough and had used them enough to give my real honest opinions on them. My thoughts may not be the same as everyone else’s reviews since we all view products differently.

I’m sure a lot of you are already familiar with the brand anyway. My swatches are not done on my lips because I find that the pigmentation of your own natural lip can alter the true colours of the actual lip products. Therefore I am just swatching them all on my arm to show the actual colour. However keep in mind that it may not turn out to be the exact same colour when applied to your lips.

The round lipsticks are available at great prices and I have to say for the price they offer it at the lipsticks is definitely not bad at all. The creamy texture is great as it glides on your lips smoothly. Some of them don’t smell bad either so that’s also a plus for me. I just can’t stand lipsticks that have that super strong chemical smell to it. I get put off by the smell no matter how pretty the colour of the lipstick is. So I’m glad NYX don’t’ produce ones with those chemical scent to them.

However my down side to these lipsticks are that they’re not long lasting so they do tend to wear off a lot faster when you compare them to other drugstore brands like L’Oreal or Cover Girl. Then that only means I have to do touch ups a bit more often then I usually do and I think I can live with that if the price is good and the pigmentation of them are beautiful. Note that none are matte shade and all has that pearl/shimmer finish to it.

Now onto the swatches of the ones I own (Everything is bought with my own money, there was no sponsor or money paid for this review)

I think it have being a while since I've posted an FOTD for you guys so I thought I would share it today since I like the way it turned out.  It's nothing special just a golden/brown combination with a very thin liner and nude lips.

Anyway now onto some photos of two recent EOTD that I wore out during the day.  One is rather neutral/brown and the other is blue and green.

I rarely walk out during the day with bright eyes so it's good that this year I'm beginning to try more colours to wear out.
