Jordana Eyeshadow Base: Cheap, cheerful. Gets the job done, Love it. Slightly flesh toned so you can wear it as a "lid concealer". 

Estee Lauder Double wear Powder. Not so cheap but just as cheerful. Great as a setting powder or a mineral foundation. I love this. it's well worth the $80 i paid for it

Cheap, very cheap. I love this eyeliner. It's the only one I use these days. It glides on so easily and the tip is super flexible and perfect for winged eyeliner.

Just a fucking good brush. Go buy it. That's all i have to say.

Smells yum. Trust me. And the bottle is cute. YUM. Must have for Summer. (it's winter here, I goes i just want ti watch the world burn.

I blogged about it. It's fab. Go buy it $42 nz

I have used this every single day this month. good for smoky, neutral and "barely there" eye look

Shh. I'm pale but it's good. If  you don't like dewey finishes, steer clear of this one. It's like a disco ball up in this bitch.

Napoleon Perdis, "The One Concealer" Review

Say bye bye to tired eyes. Pretty much all my life i have battled with dark under eyes. I will be the first to say that my camera is pretty forgiving. I good friend of mine suggested using a salmon toned corrector. After some research i decided to buy this one. It is labeled as a concealer but i think it is a universal corrector. at first, i thought the shade would be much to dark for my skin but even with light/fair skin this product blended incredibly. I have been using the on concealer for a month and i am struggling to put a dent in it. A little bit goes a long way! It has banished my dark rings of doom under my eyes. Definitely a must have in my makeup routine

Here are some before and afters :)

The beauties of makeup

To the left is me with no makeup and my hair not done, to the right is me with a full face of makeup and may hair done including extensions.

The right side is definitely more attractive and just better. So when people ask me why I wear makeup every single day, this is why. I have many broken capillaries on my face, dark circles, pale lips and blotchy uneven skin tone. That is why I wear makeup every single day, to improve and enhance my looks. The amount of makeup i wear varies depending on the occasion and my mood but makeup is a must for me :)

Revlon Pink Happiness Delicate Moment Perfume Review

I bought this perfume about a month back because i did not like like idea of using designer perfume everyday. this has replaced my Gucci Rush as an everyday scent. I do still love Gucci rush every bit as much but it is more of a deeper, night time scent. Delicate moments is a light, sweet, fun scent that is suitable for all ages. The scent lasts all day on the skin. You can pick this up for $52.99 and Farmers or $25 when it's on sale. I really like the simple and understated sophistication of the bottle. Great perfume at a great price

Bed.

After a long, hard week I just can't wait to retire to my boudoir
