Hello Beautiful People

I am BACK yes BACK and today we are going to look at some BEAUTIFUL lashes from Ardell. These lashes were sent to me by Her Fashion Box to play with I was NOT asked to review these lashes but I love them so much I had to blog!

I was sent the Ardell Colour impact Demi Wispies in 'blue' for brown eyes. The theory behind these lashes is the subtle colour in the lashes will enhance your natural eye colour, I PERSONALLY don't feel that the blue enhanced my brown eyes AT all. The slight blue tint did make for a nice focus point without the look becoming Halloween-ish.

I am a huge fan of the Ardell Demi Whispies I think they look very natural and soft creating a flawless finish (they are 1 of my TOP lashes to wear I actually just bought another 3 sets).

I chose a very neutral soft pink/brown look to really allow the lashes to pop. You will see in the product photos the lashes appear very very blue I was a little worried I was going to look like I was wearing special effect lashes however that was DEFFINETLY not the effect. The band on these lashes is flexible, thin and clear allowing it to blend into the lash line with ease.

Price point in Australia Ardell retail between $14 AUD and $16 AUD for this particular style, around the average price for false lashes in Australia. Remember if you look after your lashes you can get 6 or so uses for each pair ;)

 Have you tried coloured lashes? If so what brand and what did you think of them?

 

I L-O-V-E these lashes again big big thank you to Her Fashion Box for sending me these lashes! I got so many compliments while wearing them in this look <3

Product:  10/10

Application: 4/5

Packaging: 4/5

 

Colour Impact: 2/5

 

Flexibility: 5/5

Final thoughts: Over all these are comfortable to wear once on nil irritation the band rests comfortable, is flexible making application easier, the lashes provide a even natural look, I don't think it enhances the colour of my eyes however it creates a beautiful effect. I will repurchase this item.

Hey Beautiful People

This was another HARD look how does one wear RED everywhere again I slinked to the bowels of my makeup draw and pulled out a few not used items  if you wanted this a little more toned down you could apply a deep plummy shade in the crease for depth

Hey Beautiful People

So day 4 was a bit tricky I wanted to do something different compared to other pop of colour looks I have done. So hunting through my makeup draws I found my poor neglected MUFE Flash palette and the idea for this look hit me I hope you like it. I will say if you choose to recreate this look using the SAME products PRESS your eye shadow VERY VERY well into the base!

A Review - De Leon Cosmetics Eye Shadows

House Keeping – all products below were gifts and I am not in any way shape or form getting paid for this review. All opinions are my own!!!

Please Click on the photos to see an enlarged picture =)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~{@

Hey Beautiful People

Here is a Quick review on 2 of the De Leon Cosmetics I got these 2 samples with a primer sample that I was gifted. De Leon is a Australian based mineral makeup company

De Leon is more expensive in the indy scene Full size (2g) is $17.50 AUD and samples $1.00AUD (?1/8 tsp?) however the added costs of high international shipping rates also need to be taken into account.

 

Full size packaged in a stylish black lidded jar, with rotating sifter and packed by volume. Minimum 2 grams of product in each jar.
Sample size packaged in a ziplock bag. (est about 1/18 tsp)

I love how the owner of Deleon has put individual ingredient lists on each product below is the ingredients for Fool's Gold

 

ES042. Fool’s Gold.

Ingredients: Mica, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, bronze powder, silica, yellow #5 lake, palmatic acid, hydrogenated polyisobutene

 

I found these shades need a sticky base to preform to their highest standard. the shades were both finely milled with no lumps or unblended mica's.

 

42. Fool's Gold
DL Description - Pearlescent new gold tone.
My Description - A mid tone gold shade

03. Squeaker's Ride
DL Description - Deep purple base with a peacock green duochrome.
My Description - A violet shade with a green Turquoise Duochrome

Credit Rating!

Product: 8/10

Pigmentation: 7/10
Texture: 8/10
Longevity: 7/10
Application: 4/5
Packaging: 4/5

Final thoughts: These two shades are well pigmented and apply well over a sticky base, they don't adhere well over bare skin. the Duo chrome in Squeaker's Ride is stunning and appears readily over a black base. Pricing is the higher end of Indy boarding with main-stream cosmetic costs however the pricing to get ingredients to Australia is extremely high and need to be taken into consideration.

Overall Rating:  B+

Lets get back to Blogging!!!

Hey Beautiful People

 

So firstly I just want to apologise for the lack of posts I know its not a excuse but I totally lost motivation and drive!!! but I am here to get back into blogging with a passion I have a bunch of new reviews lined up as well as some fun tips, about me's and more coming to a screen near you ;)

 

I am drawing some quick draw inspiration from random make up challenges I am not doing a every day one just sporatic posts semi beauty/personal I hope you enjoy it



 

Here is todays question/topic also please feel free to ask questions for me to answer in the comments below =)

 

 

"When Did you Start Putting on Makeup"

 

 

Well as most girls do I would play in my mum's makeup bag when she was getting ready if I was good she might have put on a 'swipe' of blush or a dab of lippy but I first started using make up (buying and using it myself) when I was about 12-13 years old I started boarding school when I turned 12 (year 8 in Australia) and my boarding school was co-ed year 8 to 12 (Australian school system) so I was surrounded by older girls who would use makeup.

 

Being in that environment I was exposed to a lot of different styles ect I remember I started to wear a tinted moisturiser (the name escapes me) 2 shadow brush, 1 blush brush  and 1 palette from Australis (a combo blush, powder, mascara, lip gloss, shadows ect) I would go to school with 1 colour shadow on my lids no primer!!! I remember my makeup being all smeared between recess and lunch!!

 

I remember my teacher would always tell me off in the morning (teacher in bold)

"channy whats school makeup policy"

"ummm no makeup"

"whats on your face"

"makeup?"

"*sigh* don't wear it tomorrow!!"

"...."

 

Those were the days ;) Clearly my obsession has grown into a passion I even remember ripping pages out of my dolly and girlfriend magazines with pretty makeup look or tips so I could try and learn them haha I had a huge folder full of them =p

 

so here is my question  to you all... When did YOU start wearing makeup?
