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?

EOTD - Gingersnaps Purple!

Hey Beautiful People

Here is another EOTD I keep forgetting to post them here sorry feel free to give me gentle prodding haha.

This EOTD came about because I wanted to use a beautiful Custom colour that Susan of darling girl cosmetics made me called gingersnap (main lid colour) as I asked (begged) for a dupe of my all time fave MAC pigment Green Brown. Susan did a amazing job maybe if you ask nicely it could make a appearance in the DG store? who knows...

I hope you like this EOTD <3

A Review - MUA Baked Trio Eyeshadows - Innocence

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

ALL PICTURES ARE SWATCHED WET USING SKINDONAVIA SETTING SPRAY

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

Hello Beautiful People

I have a review for you all today I know shock horror right? haha today we are looking at the MUA baked trio shadows in Innocent! I bought this product a while ago and kinda forgot about it. however during a huge de-stash I stumbled across it once more! Baked shadows arnt anything new many brands have been doing them for years however I am always on the look out for budget friendly products as makeup in Australia has a very high price tag.

MUA is a UK based brand they do ship world wide I believe it cost around £7 to ship this and a few other things to Australia (around $13 AUD on par with current international shipping rates) I was send shipping confirmation within 48 hrs and it arrived on my door step about 2 weeks later.

In terms of pricing this trio cost £2.50 ($4.09 AUD) and there is a wide variety of shades available. I chose this particular Trio as the first color looked like a MAC blue brown dupe and you all know I love my MAC. 

In terms of pigmentation I honestly didn't enjoy this trio dry the colours were very sheer (sadly my photo didn't work and its raining here at the moment once its sunny I will snap a pic) but that can sometimes happen with backed shadows! I then swatched using a damp brush and I was blown away the pigmentation is amazing as you can see in swatches below.  Sadly a catch 22 is these weren't easy to blend wet.

These shades once dry lasted a good 8 hrs which is impressive there was SOME minor flaking however but not enough to make a huge impact,

Colour Descriptions

Top Left colour - Sadly once swatched this isn't a dupe for MAC blue brown but it is a gorgeous warm brown with a hint of green duo chrome

Top Right Colour - A cool toned almost taupe shade frost finish

Bottom Colour - A metallic ivory shade

Would I re-purchase? yes  would I love these as lid shades

Question of the day
what's you favourite baked eye shadow colour?

Xoxo
