Neo Sunflower Aqua Lens Review

Hey!

I love coloured contacts, and I have a good few pairs but I don't wear them often enough. I buy yearly disposable ones so they last a long time, but I think I should start using them a lot more than I do. Today I'm reviewing Neo Sunflower Aqua. I've had them for a while but only worn them a handful of times. This is what they look like on me.

I got them on honeycolor.com for $24. They are 14.2mm diameter so they're only slightly enlarging. They look nice though, I really like how they look in my eyes. They look a little more natural in dimmer lights when my pupils are more dilated. They don't look unnatural in size but this aqua shade is quite bright. I think these lenses in other colours could look quite natural, I'll have to get some more and find out :D

They're yearly disposable and came with a free case. They're quite comfortable! I wear them for long periods of time without needing to remove them. They dry out, but not too often. I use a dry eyes mist to help with that so it's not much of a problem. These lenses are also available in green, blue, violet, grey, brown and hazel! Check them all out here. I'll leave you with a product list in case any of you were wondering about the makeup! See you soon, expect more lens reviews :)

MUA Glitterball Palette Review, Swatches and Look (with Sugarpill too!)

Hey!

Here's the review I threatened you with! I made an order from MUA a couple of weeks ago. Among the items I purchased, I got the Glitterball palette. It was only £4! Definitely check out the site here, your money goes so far it's actually hard to believe. Let's take a look at Glitterball!

Stop giving us these crappy sponge shadow brushes, nobody wants them >:(

For your £4, you get twelve soft, shimmery, well pigmented shadows. After swatching them, I couldn't believe how cheap they are, check it out.

You have to build them up a bit and you would definitely need a primer, but look at them! From these swatches you could easily mistake them for a high end brand. Some of the shades in this palette remind me of some Urban Decay shadows! The quality isn't high end, but it's very good especially considering the price. They perform incredibly well. These shadows apply nicely, they're very buildable and blend easily too. I didn't have much problem with fallout either. There was some, but not a great deal. Here's the look I came up with.

I'm not done with my colourful phase, but definitely excited to use some shimmer for the first time in a little while! I paired a couple of Glitterball's lovely shimmery shades with some matte Sugarpill shadows to create this look. I went light on the liner and kept it looking pretty soft. I filled in my super scruffy brows with shadow instead of pencil so as to not overpower the rest of the eye makeup. I am super impressed with this palette. What you get for your money is unreal, I can't wait until my new spending ban is lifted and I can get some more of their stuff. Here's one more photo and a product list, see you soon!

Sugarpill Blue & Green

Hey!

Another colourful eye look, blue and green this time. I'm crazy about Sugarpill lately! I'd love to get my hands on some more of their loose shadows too, I only have Goldilux but it's fab. I wore this look out to a party at a friends house last night. I paired it with clear gloss and Bourjois Blush Pot in Rose d'Or, keeping it toned down to show off the eyes. I can't find my eyelash glue but I wanted to wear false lashes too. I really need to practice applying them. Here are some photos and a product list! I'll post again soon with a product review or something hopefully for a change.

Sugarpill Green & Purple

I suddenly got colourful today. I got a sweet new Totoro t-shirt and it's green and purple, so I did some makeup to sort of coordinate with it. Ta-dah!

My eyebrows D: Eyebrow maintenance is the biggest pain. Purple brows might be cool with this look actually. I think coloured brows look odd on me though so it doesn't often occur to me to try it. Ooh, I got the Sigma Precision Eye Kit this week and it is so badass. The brushes are amazing, especially the crease brush and the blending brush. I'll review it at some point but I want to use them more first. So far I love them anyway! Here's another photo and a product list.

Blue Smoky Eye

I haven't done makeup on myself in a few days! I wanted to try something that I'd seen around recently, this dark blue smoky eye look. I'm a big fan of Gossmakeupartist on Youtube and yesterday I watched one of his videos on complimentary eyeshadow colours. A dark blue shade was on the list for brown eyes, and that reminded me about this look! I didn't work from a tutorial or anything, I just sort of winged it with a basic smoky eye method. I hope you like, see you soon!

Blackened Teal

Hey! I've been using a lot of palettes lately so I thought it would be nice to use some loose shadows for a change. I did today's look using some loose shadows by The Body Needs. They're one of my favourite brands, I have a ton of their glitters, blushes and shadows. Definitely check them out! The most prominent shade in this look is Blackened Teal. It's available alone or as part of the Blackened Collection, which contains ten shades. I swatched them before, check them out here. It's an incredible collection, especially if you're into smokey looks. See you soon, I hope you like my look!

Another Face #2 - Keelin

Tonight my friend Keelin called over and I did her makeup before she went out! She was going to a gig so I did colourful, dramatic party makeup with glitter.

Before, wearing only foundation

After

Both of those photos are unedited, just cropped. I think I did ok! I don't get to work on other people as often as I'd like so it's kind of hard to tell how I'm doing, but I like how the makeup came out. Still, I feel more confident working on people than I used to. Hopefully I'll get to work on Keelin some more in the future >_^ Do some different kind of looks and stuff. Let me know in the comments what you think of this look! I know it's pretty crazy but it's night out makeup, and glitter is so much fun! Here are some more photos and a product list, see you soon!

#FOTD 3 - Sugarpill ColourPunch

Hello! Viola at Killer Colours is doing a contest, you can read more about it here: http://rodeo.net/killercolours/2012/11/03/contest-neutral-or-bright-win-prices-from-maddstyle-cosmetics/. There are two categories, neutral and bright. Four Maddstyle eyeshadows are the prize for each category. I did a colourful look for the bright category that I might enter! I'd like to do a few more different looks for each and choose the best. This is what I came up with yesterday. What do you think?

I might consider the Bubbles look I did recently as an entry too, but I think this one is better. Here's some pictures of the eye makeup.

Sugarpill Black and Purple Smokey Eye - Look with Tutorial

Hello! Sorry that I've been away for so long. I didn't have a camera for weeks. I was using a borrowed camera to take photos with, but the owner needed it. Luckily my family was awesome enough to get me a Canon EOS1100D for my birthday so I'm sorted now! I'm still terrible at photography but I'm working on it.

So my friend and Starcraft 2 team mate Michelle (MsCupcake) asked me to do a purple and black look for her. She said that when she tries it looks like someone punched her in the eye. Here's a tutorial to see if we can avoid that in future! :D

Product list can be found below the tutorial.

Step 1

Prime the eye. I used Essence's 'I Love Stage' primer, followed by NYX white eyeshadow base.  Don't forget to prime below the eye too, since shadow will be applied here.

Step 2

Apply purple shadow all over the lid. I used Sugarpill's '2am' 

Step 3

Apply black shadow to the outer V and crease. I used Sugarpill's 'Bulletproof'

Step 4

Blend the black up and out. Keep blending until the lines are gone and you get a smokey effect. Also blend it into the purple on the lid.

Step 5

Blend a little pink above the black. I used Sugarpill's 'Dollipop'.

Step 6

Apply white shadow to the brow bone and blend it with the pink. I used Sugarpill's 'Tako'. Also apply white to the inner corner of the eye. Then apply pink or purple liner to the lower lash line. Set this with purple shadow, and put some black shadow on the outer part of the lower lid. Blend these colours together.

Step 7

Line the waterline and upper lash line with black.

Step 8

Finish the look by curling the lashes and applying  mascara, I used Maybelline Falsies. Also fill in your brows, it gives the eye area more definition. I used Essence's Eyebrow Designer pencil and a dark brown shadow to do this.

I hope you found this tutorial helpful! If anyone has a look request, post a comment below and I will try to come up with a tutorial for you. The same goes if you have any questions about this look. Thanks for reading!
