Depressing Update

Hey guys

Sorry i havent posted anything for a while. I have officially finished all my exams as of the 13th so i've been a bit busy attempter to catch up with people and do all things i havent been able to.

I did get my hair done, its amazing! ill put some pictures up for you all real soon.

Last night was my school Formal for yr12 (last year for those of u who dont know) it was a complete disaster and waste of time and money, for me at least, but i wont go into that because it really upsets me. I will, however, put some pictures up so you all can see my hair and makeup.

Tonight im going to the Britney Spears concert which is exciting. I dont normally listen to her very often but she kind of burst into the music industry when i was growing up and i loved her back then so i figured why not go with a bunch of old friends and enjoy re-living our childhood favourites lol "Baby One More Time.." i still dont understand those lyrics after all these years =P I will be bringing my camera to the concert so ill try and grab some pics - not promising they will be any good because we all know how annoying concert ligthing can be, but ill try and ill put them up in a post.

Ill post about my look tonight for the concert

FOTD - Purple Pick-me-up

Hey Guys

Today i wanted to test out some of the shades that i got from Glamour Doll Eyes. I decided to use some of the purples and pinks and this is what i came up with:

 

  

FACE:

- The Face Shop makeup base primer, green

- Almay Smart Shade makeup foundation, light/medium 200

- Savvy pressed powder, dark

- Fyrinnae matte bronzer, Medium on cheeks

- Ebay Contour & Blush Palette (also from Coastal Scents), pink blusher on the bottom row also on cheeks

LIPS

- Evil Shades Lipgloss, Lethal Kiss

- TSS eyeshadow pigment, Lucifer's Chariot, dabbed on top

 

 

 

EYES:

- Ebay gel liner, Sexy Pink (also sold at Coastal Scents) applied all over the lid and blended into crease

- GDE, Pinky Swear, patted onto lid

- GDE, Sugar Plum, applied in the crease and outer V area. Only lightly blended into edges of Pink Swear

- Face Of Australia eyeliner, Jade (bright green), lower lashline

- GDE, Dirty Jeans, inner 3/4 of lower lashline

- GDE, Berry Lush, outter 1/4 of lower lashline

- Black liquid liner on upper lashline

- Black Kohl pencil on waterline

- Avon Super Shock mascara

 

 

My first experience using the shadows was pretty average - blended easily and were highly pigmented. However i did notice that toward the end of the day some of the colours had faded a little and they weren't as bright as when i first applied them =[

I really loved using Lucifer's Chariot as a lipgloss - its the perfect "my lips buy better" colour for me, i think i might try to get some clear gloss and mix some up ^_^

Has anyone else mixed their gloss before?

How well did it work for you?

Glamour Doll Eyes Swatches and Initial Thoughts

Hey everyone

If you remember a while ago i purchased a few samples from Glamour Doll Eyes. I finally recieved my order today after waiting 12 days for it to arrive in the post.

At this point in time I dont know if i will be ordering from them again as it did take a month to process my order and send it, even though at the time my order was placed their site stated it would only take 2 weeks to process orders. =/ However i did notice that the week after i placed my order the processing time on their site had chaned to 2-4 weeks, so i guess they got really busy over Halloween.

So all together i grabbed 13 samples, it worked out cheaper to get the colours i wanted in her collections that get them individually so i opted for that.

*colour descriptions are taken straight from the Glamour Dolls website*

- The Jelly Beans Collection [sadly this collection isn't being offered anymore]

  >Strawberry Cupcake: pretty pink not too bright and not too light
  > Pixie: (couldnt find a proper description) shimmery pink with a slight peach tinge
  > Blueberry Lush: bright blue with medium sheen
  > Sugar Plum: gorgeous light purple

  > Gold Digger: gold
  > Graffiti: matte black with lime glitter

- Bad Gal Collection

  > Violet: pale violet

  > Secretive: soft pink with low sheen

  > Dirty Jeans:  teal grean that rubs into a blue-green with gold hues

  > Leather & Lace: matte black with pink glitter

- Geeky But Glam Collection

  > Fabulous!: an amazing teal

  > Sterling Gitz: a silvery diamond glitter shade

  > Pinky Swear: bright fuschia with pearl finish

  > Glam Girl: super bright purple

- Fabulous!(individual sample) - teal

 

Line1: Leather & Lace, Sterling Glitz, Graffiti, Gold Digger

Line2: Blueberry Lush, Fabulous (x2), Dirty Jeans

Line3: Sugar Plum, Glam Girl, Violet, Pinky Swear

Line4: Pixie, Secretive, Strawberry Cupcake

Line1: Leather & Lace, Sterling Glitz, Graffiti, Gold Digger

Annoyingly neither Leather & Lace or Graffiti had any visible glitter in them. The formula was a bit grainy so im assuming that there was glitter in it, you just cant tell when you use it....

 

Line2: Blueberry Lush, Fabulous, Dirty Jeans

I did my best to capture the gold sheen in Dirty Jeans, which i think came out quite good ^_^ considering im normally whinging about my cameras inability to capture the different hues in some of my pigments

 

Line3: Sugar Plum, Glam Girl, Violet, Pinky Swear

Violet was a bit of a let down, its not as sheer as it appears here, but it isnt as vibrant as i would have expected. Pinky Swear was probably the most suprising because as i moved it under the light a blue hue was brought out of which was gorgeous (insert whinging about stupid camera here -.-" ) 

 

Line4: Pixie, Secretive, Strawberry Cupcake

I think the angle that i was taking this photo was just plain wrong - all these shades are much brighter and Secretive even has a hot pink highlight to it when moved under the light =/

I think my favourite colours are

- Dirty Jeans

- Sugar Plum

- Fabulous

- Pinky Swear

- Secretive

- Sterling Glitz

Have you ever ordered from Glamour Doll Eyes?

What do you think of their colours?

Has anybody else had the same problem with Leather & Lace and Graffitit?
