Napoleon Perdis Event!!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. As some of you may know already last night me and 3 other beauty bloggers Shayley, Veronica and Monique went to a exclusive Napoleon Perdis event. The event included makeup demonstrations with products used from there limited addition Slim Aarons colour collection  

Slim Aarons Collection

The set comes in the bag shown in the picture on the left and inside is a Cream Highlighter in Champagne Days, Cream Lipstick in Entitled and a Matte Bronzer all also shown in the picture on the left.

These were all shown in the make up demonstrations and look amazing applied!

 

They also showed the new Two-Faced Eyeliner Duos in the shades (left to right) Society, Power and Privilege and they retail for $35AUD

 

   This was the finished look on the beautiful model, Tatiana. 

 

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the amazing treats they had there for us, that lemon slice was to die for.

 

On arrival this is what our seats looked like! Underneath was a clip board and that had a form for our details and also 2 face charts of the looks that were being demonstrated. We got to keep these and received a blank one ourselves to create our own look.

On top was a stunning envelope satchel and the contents of that will be photographed below

Sheer Genius Liquid Foundation Sample in Look 2, Auto Pilot BBB Cream x2, Auto Pilot Radiance Boosting Mask, Long Black Mascara, Nail File, Luminous Lip Veil in VIP, Stroke of Genius Liquid Cashmere Foundation shade samples.

My first purchase of the night was this gorgeous bag which is now my new makeup bag. I got the Dove one, which includes a Pearly White Nail Polish and a Pearly White lip gloss.

The next two purchases are what I'm excited to use the most. On the top is the Auto Pilot Concealer primer, this is meant to prevent your concealer creasing under your eyes which I am completely prone too. 

The next product I purchased is also for under the eyes and it's the Mighty Concealer Pen in Mellow Yellow which is meant to counteract and brighten under the eyes.

 

 Because I spent a certain amount I qualified for a free gift. At first I only thought it was a big black bag, until I looked inside and saw these goodies.

Long Black Mascara, Auto Pilot Duet Makeup Remover, A very mini Luminous Lip Veil in Caramel Kiss, A very mini Devine Goddess Lipstick is Demeter and a Prismatic Eyeshadow Quad in Sandstorm

All together it was a really fun night but it was also very informative. I feel like going to these and watching makeup demonstrations, you learn something new because a lot of people do things differently.
If the opportunity arises for you to attend an event like this at Napoleon Perdis, take it!

I would also like to thank everyone who works at the Napoleon Perdis in David Jones on Bourke Street for organizing this and having me there. I had an amazing time and I'll definitely be wanting to come to the next one.

Super Easy Winged Liner and Red Lips!

Hello and welcome back to my blog! 

I recreated a very simple winged liner and red lip look for today's post. From someone that sucks at winged I think I did pretty good.

If you would like to see a detailed, step by step post on doing the winged liner let me know! 

 

The first step for my eyes was blending Buck from the Naked 1 Palette (top) into my crease with a fluffy brush and then patting it over my lid with my finger.

Secondly I took Dust from the Naked 3 Palette and patted that over Buck and blended it out

I then highlighted my brow bone and inner corner with Strange also from the Naked 3.

For the winged liner I used my Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner with my Real Techniques liner brush.

This is the most amazing brush to apply liner with, because it's quite longer them most it's easy to get a good straight line. 

If you want to see a more in depth tutorial on how I do my winged liner let me know! 

I pushed Creep from the Naked 1 Palette into my tight line and ran it over my bottom lash line.

I then applied one coat on the I love extreme mascara then another coat of the Benefit They're Real

I lined my lips with the Essence Lip Liner in Femme Fatale and filled them in and then went over that with Ruby Woo by MAC 

For my base I used Stilla Stay all day and Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer! 

I contoured with Hoola, used MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle and applied Elf blush is Tickled Pink.

  Finished look! 

I really hope you enjoyed this very simple look! 

If you have any requests please let me know!

June Beauty Favourites 2014

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! I hope you all had a great weekend! 

Today's post is my June Beauty Favourites, I was going to do my favourites of everything from shows and music, so if you want to see that let me know! Let's begin. 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle

I feel back in love with this product this month! It's an absolute beautiful highlight for the cheekbones but I also love it all over the lid and on my Cupid's Bow! 

If you haven't tried this I recommended you to jump on it! You won't be dissapointed. 

MAC Lipstick in Snob 

I got this for Christmas from my boyfriend and I wore it for a few weeks straight and then opted for other lipsticks, but again with this I fell back in love with it and it's been my everyday lipstick for this month! 

elf cosmetics Eyebrow Kit in Ash and ChiChi Eyebrow Pencil in Blonde Taupe 

These are both new products in my collection and I am obsessed with them both! They are both as equally as good, I get a more natural look from the elf kit and a bolder brow with the chichi pencil! 

They are both ridiculously cheap and recommend them both! 

The only problem is decided which one I want to use

Chi Chi Cosmetics Baked Eyeshadow in Call Me 

 

I'm in love! Like my Mineralize Skin Finish I can wear this as a highlight and also amazing all over the lid! It's super pigmented, so if you are looking for some highly pigmented afforadble go and pick up some of these bad boys. 

Zazi Minerals Brush 

This brush is meant for apply their mineral foundation which it is good for but I tried it with my liquid foundation and it buffs it in flawlessly. I new favourite brush to apply my foundation. 

Stilla Stay All Day Foundation in Bare

This is pretty new to my collection also, it gives me a flawless matte finish. It's been my absolute favourite and has taken over my benefit hello flawless, although I still love that one this has been my favourite this month.

Elf cosmetics High Definition Under Eye Setting Powder

Hands down best product for setting under my eyes. Under my eyes crease so easily and this helps them not to so much. It's also super brightening which is another plus for me! 

This also is a ridiculously cheap product that's amazing! 

MAC Pan Shadow in Naked Lunch 

I placed this all over my lid a few weeks back and I was so amazed! It's so perfect. Although you can slightly see it's pink in the pan in comes off a lot more pink blended onto the lid. 

Gorgeous everyday eyeshadow! 

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe 

This is also a fairly new product in my collection. I bought this because I remembered seeing someone use it on their eyebrows so I noun I'd try it and, I was surprised that it actually looked good! But I've been using it for what it's meant for, a shadow. I love it blended through the crease and over the lid. 

That's all for my June Beauty Favourites, and again if you are wanting to see my favourites in general like the shows I've been love to the music or even food! Let me know. 

Let me know what your favourites are or if these were in you're favourites for June.
