Purple Eyes, Purple Lips Makeup Tutorial

Hello all and welcome back to my blog! HAPPY FRIDAY!
I thought I would post a make up look for today's post as I haven't done one in a while and I really wanted to try out my chi chi shadows so I created a purple eye and purple lip look! 

I'll firstly talk about what I used on my face. I wanted to have a flawless finish so I used my Stilla Stay all day and my MAC pro longwear concealer and then I set that with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Transparent. 
I contoured slightly with my Hoola Bronzer and applied my elf studo blush in Berry Merry.
I highlighted with a Chi Chi eyeshadow that I will show in the next photo.

The first step was apply this Chi Chi baked eyeshadow in Call Me all over my lid. This is also what I used to highlight my face.

I then took my other Chi Chi baked eyeshadow in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and blended that through my crease and on my bottom lash line. 

I then went in with Hustle from the first Naked Palette and darkened up the crease. I then applied my Maybelline Eye Studio gel liner with a small flick. I then actually smudged it out a bit for a softer look and applied more Chi Chi shadow in Call me to the center of my lid. 

I then generously applied 2 coats of my They're Real Mascara 

For my lips I firstly applied a nude lipstick to blank out my lips and then went it with my purple lipstick which was Ben Nye Lipstick in Sangria. Applying the nude base made in a really vibrant purple.
FINISHED LOOK

 This look is super super simply to create, the eyes aren't too much and it really focuses on the lips.
I absolutely love it and I think it's great for winter/ autumn.
I hope you enjoyed it and look forward to you reading my next post on Monday!

18th Birthday Hair, Makeup and Outfit

Hello and welcome back to my blog!
As some of you may know I had my 18th birthday last week and I went out for dinner with my family and close friends. I thought I would show you how I dressed up!


HAIR
For my hair I did a messy side bun. I thought it looked quite pretty and suited the dress a lot.
I left some bit out to frame my face.

MAKEUP
 
I also went very simple with my makeup, the star of the show was Bad to The Bronze a Maybelline Color tattoo all over the lid with Elf mineral shadow in Sassy blended over that. 
For my lips I wore Chi Chi lipstick in Centrefold and Nyx buttergloss is Eclair 

OUTFIT
 

If you are wanting to know where I got my dress is was from StFrock and my belt was from Dissh boutique! 
I did end up ironing my dress cause as you can tell by the photos it was very crinkly. 


This was a very quick post unfortunately I've been a bit tied up in a few things but I have LOTS of exciting post planned for you guys so please keep an eye out for them! 
Thank you for reading

Where I shop online





Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today's post will be about where I shop online for my makeup. This will be where I buy both my high and low end makeup. I was meant to be posting my Makeup, Outfit and Hair post but I wasn't able to get some nice photos so I will be recreating the whole look for Wednesdays post 

First up
                                     
 Beautybay is where I purchase some of my high end products. I have previously purchased my Naked Palettes, Stilla Foundation and palettes from here. 
The service is great and always hear back from them within 24 hours 
Shipping is FREE to Australia and usually takes around 1-2 weeks. 
They have an option to pay another $3.50 or if you spend a certain amount it's free to receive a deluxe sized sample! 
www.beautybay.com


                                   
I don't live extremely close to a Priceline so I'm not able to go in whenever I want and look, but I can go online and have look which is good enough! 
What I usually by from brands such as Loreal, Maybelline, Australis, Essence, Simple Skincare etc. 
Shipping is about $5-9 and it comes within a week. 
Become a Priceline sister! 
www.priceline.com.au


                                      
 I love iHerb! I go to Iherb to buy my Real Techniques brushes. Eco tools and most importantly elf cosmetics.
Their prices are ridiculously amazing! So if you are wanting to stock up on these ands even hurraw lips balms go to iHerb right now! 
Shipping costs me $8 and it takes around 2-3 days which is the best shipping I've experienced from an overseas company. 
www.iherb.com


                                   
I used to be a bit iffy on buying from ozsale because I never heard much about it before.
I then saw a lot more people purchasing off them when they had a great sale on a certain brand. 
So when I saw 80% off NYX I had to get on that! 
Shipping cost me $5 but the only downside the delivery takes around 4-5 weeks which is pretty dissapointing! 
www.ozsale.com.au 


Along with Priceline line I don't live very close to a MAC for be to be able to go I and have a browse, but again I can go and look online. I have purchased from MAC online a few times and shipping costs around $5-9 and it only took 2-3 days to arrive! 
www.maccosmetics.com.au 

Chichi is another great online store. I took complete advantage of my 20% they gave me for my birthday! Shipping was Free and it usually takes around 2-5 business days! 
www.chichicosmetics.com.au 

I have purchased from other stores but these have defiantly been the stand out ones for me! Also keep an eye out for an upcoming haul that features a few of these websites! 
Hope you enjoyed finding out where I like to look and shop online, let me know some of your favourites!
