Sometimes people are the best :)

YEY mail!  I have a little review of  a soap/lipbalm/stuff shop on Etsy coming up, but today I got this awesome set of shiny things from a certain wonderful girl – Alzarine Claws She helped me out with a couple of the H&M holo polishes I’d missed out on and then suprised me with a couple of mineral eyeshadows :o I was quite shocked by the loveliness!

So of course I had to take one for a test run – this is Silver Spoon (if I remember correctly), Sugarpill- Tiara, a little Fyrinnae pixie epoxy and 1.22 gigawatt, and Aromaleigh Infernal Chaos.

Because pulling faces is the most fun ever!

You may notice slightly more tamed eyebrows. Thank you to future sister in law for that one!

July Blues, matching my new theme – EoTD

Been playing with makeup again, this time a mix of Aromaleigh and Fyrinnae.  The weather outside is rubbish today, so pictures are relatively fail.  Nothing overly exciting to note – haha!  Well other than my sadness that Aromaleigh will no longer ship Internationally.

I know they are closing and everything – but I was looking forwards to payday and ordering a little more (Backstory here is that I wanted to order quite a lot next year for wedding makeup).  While I understand that it’s not really the shops fault to have lost money due to mean ass customers and be forced to do this – there’s something about it that makes me a little sad/annoyed at them.  I’m going to put that down to me being me, and order me some Evil Shades and Fyrinnae shortly :D  (Also I was offered an American Address from a lovely girl on twitter… all together now… awwwww!)

Anyways, onto yet another blue look!

I used:-

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, 1.22 Gigawatts (can’t really see, it’s blended in with the aromaleigh)

Aromaleigh – Sapphire and Jade

I’m really liking having shadow under my eyes for some reason at the moment. Perhaps because it ends up there regardless!  No full face action as I have a really angry spot on my nose that I’ve been attacking in my sleep. Nice!

Is there any look you’d like me to try?  Challenge my lack of ability!

So, success on the nail front – they dried overnight!  Yey! Now time to take it off to do polish horder disorders weekly challenge okay, maybe not today (I need a grey polish first). But tomorow for sure – before I forget.

It may not have been perfect, but I loves the rainbows.

So on to today, more playing with blue eyeshadow, more fail! Well more realisation that it was one step forward, break for a few months, fall in a pile – this is not what I intended, certainly not when I want to do my own makeup next wedding day!

So here is todays attempt brought to you with:-

  • Fyrinnae – Glitter Boi as a kind of eyeliner
  • Lower eyeline is Benefit – Bad Gal
  • Mascara is just a waterproof bodyshop affair
  • Aromaleigh in Sapphire, Skeleton Key, and Infernal Chaos.

So what do you think? I need to get more even that’s for sure.  I think Sapphire is too bright for a wedding colour though sadly, even though I am going to geek it up in glasses…

I was going to show off Cherry Pie by China Glaze today, but I like yesterdays mani so much that it’s staying for now! So instead you get me attempting make-up after slacking for a few months!

A few weeks ago now I got a package from Aromaleigh – I’d wanted to place this order for ages, but had put it off till closer to the wedding – of course they are closing (Here’s the website and you can use ADIEU35 for a 35% discount) so I got my ass in gear.

Sapphire, Jade, Mania’s Locus, Poison Eutopia.

Swatched over the eye and lip primer.

I was a little sad that they had sold out of one of the shadow I ordered – Infernal Chaos (and I really really wanted it :( ), but well it happens I guess.  I also have an order of  some of the new eyeshadows, but stupidly sent that one to England.

Anyways I played around this afternoon and came up with this eye – I used something though that I thought was lighter than it actually was – this was supposed to be a blue look dammit!

Used – Sapphire, Mania’s Locus and sample of Cyanide Sorrow, over the eye and lip primer.  I mean to use infernal chaos as the highlight, opps!

Anyways what do you think?  And please excuse the eyebrows, they hate being tamed!

Tobermory EoTD

I’m driving home (well to England at least) today, so should be able to get some nicer camera updates tomorow/Monday, though I have a few family members to visit. :)

This is my EoTD from the trip across to Tobermory, if I had my whole make up collection here I might have gone with co-ordinating with the scenary – just check this out (picture from my mum’s camera on monday)

My look is not really that exciting, but playing (yet again) with the Aromaleigh, this time going for a more Victoriana look. Apologies for the iphone pictures!

Singing Sands EoTD (all down my face!)

So this is yesterdays EoTD for the trip out to Singing Sands.  I did rub it all away during some lovely tears, but thought I’d share it regardless!

Again this is from the Aromaleigh Victoria’s Revenge range, as you can probably tell I’m having a lot of fun with my samples!  They were perfect for bringing on holiday with me I have to say.

See, none left?

The look was done using just MAC paint pot in painterly (was too lazy for Fyrinnae and think thats why I cried it off).

Scotland – Day trip Tobermory-Tiree

So decided to blog a bit on my holiday – this week we’re staying in a remote part of Scotland, and yesterday we went to an island called Tiree from Tobermory on the last sea going paddle-boat – The Waverley.  It was a strange journey, with funny hats, beautiful weather and thanks to my own shortsightedness – a bright red burnt nose!

Here is my EoTD from the journey, along with some bonus pictures of Team Waverley (shamelessly stolen from team Zissou, just with Waverley hats)

On the boat to Tobermory.
