Zebra Print,Pinkness & Sparkles

Heya chicas,today I have tried to do something a little more challenging. For the past few months Ive played safe with my makeup and always done looks Im confident with and that I have a little practice in! Well today I thought I would add that little bit more to it! I had a brainstorm and put together something completely different with a little bit of color and sparkle added to it!

*DRUMROLL* I present my zebra print,pinkness and sparkles :D Aha this is what Ive called this look. Its the latest addition to my makeup portfolio {as part of my application to university}

For the eyes I used a white eyeshadow from FACEFIX, I then went on to completing the stripes with a black liquid eyeliner by Collection 2000. After I done the zebra stripes I thought hmm black and whites boring maybe a splash of color so I added a little pink line near the tear duct and a longer line at the corner of the eye! The eyelashes are Eyelure Girls Aloud-Nadine. Hmm *fun* For the lips I used a pink eyeliner and lipgloss by Barry M. I then went onto adding little gems with eyelash glue onto the lips giving it that little umph and adding abit of sparkle and glamour! And I had my newest look!

I absolutely love it and Im very pleased with myself.This is my second attempt at zebra print and this is definately an improvement to the first {check my blog}

Heres the completed look.

Barbie Inspired Makeup

Heya chicas, this is another look I put together from a MAC picture which I always see about on the internet. I have always loved this look and put together a look yesterday inspired by this picture. The colors are very summery and girly and compliment eachother very well.

The colors I used are from my Arabic eyeshadow palette. The green is a very light spring green that is shimmery and fresh and the pink which has been used is a very pigmented and girly barbie pink. For the lips I used BARRY M bubblegum lipgloss and BARRY M pink eye/lipliner. The eyelashes used are the EYELURE GIRLS ALOUD LASHES-NADINE. This look is a very affordable look and a very easy look to achieve. It would be perfect for a fancy dress party/night out.

Here is the completed look.

Heya Chicas

I thought I would update my blog with some new makeup looks as I haven’t done one in quite a while. I’ve been super busy doing..NOTHING!

Well tbh I’ve been feeling very stressed lately life has taken it’s toll but Im trying to look on the bright side and stay positive.

The first look I’m going to show you is a makeup inspired by RIHANNA.

I see this look posted on KANDEE JOHNSON facebook page but I think it’s a look she hasn’t completed. It was requested by a fan of hers and I was immediately drawn to the bright colors so I thought I’d give it shot.

Remember all looks are done using AFFORDABLE makeup.

Yellow-ARABIC EYESHADOWS

Black Eyeliner-COLLECTION 2000

MASCARA-COLOSSAL

PINK BLUSH-ARABIC EYESHADOWS

LIPSTICK/GLOSS-BARRY M

Here’s the finished product

Heya Chicas
I have yet another make-up look to show to you!
Remember all of my make-up is for my portfolio which I plan on presenting for my University application!

This look is inspired again by an animal
THE ZEBRA! 
As you know I have done a leopard print inspired eye makeup look in a few different colors
This is the zebra print and black & pink funky retro eye makeup TOGETHER!
I see this look on google and re-created it using my little sister as a model {she loves me doing makeup on her!}
This look is very easy to create! I used a white pigment from FACEFIX, a white highlighter from FACEFIX and a black liquid eyeliner from COLLECTION 2000. For the lips I used a black pigment by FACEFIX.
This look took around 15 mins to complete and needs a steady hand!
If you would like to see a tutorial on this look please leave a comment below

It was created using a pink pigment from ARABIC EYESHADOWS, a black pigment from FACEFIX, a white pigment by FACEFIX and a black liquid eyeliner by COLLECTION 2000.

Chicas!
Eeeeeeeeek
Im super excited
Last night I thought Id go a little more EXTREME!
Whilst browsing through youtube I came across a look called 
'Anime Eyes'
For those of you who DONT know what an anime is the Japenese shortened word for animation.
So you guessed it! Animes are japenese cartoons. If you still dont know type anime in Google and a picture will come up! There just cartoon character with these big eyes. Cool right :]
I thought I'd give it a shot as me and my baby sister were bored and I thought hmm I really need to liven up my blog!
This look was created purely using a black RIMMEL eyeliner, a white FACEFIX highlighter powder & a marine blue ARABIC eyeshadow.
Creating anime eyes is all down to the imagination.
I added a pink ribbon to my sisters hair and some light pink lipstick from COLLECTION 2000.
I had her smile and show her dimples and VOILA I have me my own ANIME DOLL :D

Have you tried this? Would you like to see any other colors? Want more information on this look?

Heya Chicas,
Ive done yet ANOTHER leopard print look but using different colors obvi
This is going towards my portfolio and is a look most of my friends and family always request!
So I do it again and again with different colors.
As I mentioned in my previous post I received a gift from my other half's little sister.
48 Arabic eyeshadows. They are very pigmented and have lovely bold and vibrant colors.
This one is created using what I like to call 'Marine Blue'
I used a light cream/gold shimmer eyeshadow for the base.
The outlining is done in Liquid eyeliner by COLLECTION 2000.
I created the lip color using the same eyeshadow and little vaseline.
What do you think of this color? Would you like to see any other colors? Have you tried this yet?

Heya chicas,
Time for a nunu blog I think :]
I would like to introduce you to one of my newest looks which I named
*DRUMROLL PLEASE*
Sunset Eyes
^_^
I recently received a gift from my other half's little sister {so sweet of her}
48 Arabic Eyeshadows! The pigment in them is so strong and amazing.
All for £5 BARGAIN!

I created this look using a PINK,PURPLE,WHITE AND CREAM/GOLD.

-I used a very light white on the upper eyesocket/browbone area.

-I then used a coral pink towards the front of the eyelid blending it with the white on the browbone.

-Next I used a purple blending it with the pink working my way outwards and blending with the white into the browbone. 

-Last but not least I used a little cream/gold in the corners of the eyes and finished off with a thin application of mascara.

I was inspired by a fairy princess halloween look I saw on youtube and decided to re-create the eyes myself.
  Muah enjoy!

Heya Chicas,
Tonight I decided to create yet ANOTHER leopard print eye look as I got great feedback from my last one.
I decided to keep with a bold color and this time went for an aqua liquid eyeliner by FACEFIX which I used to create the aqua spots. A black liquid eyeliner by COLLECTION 2000.For the base I used a shimmery light grey by FACEFIX.For the lips I used a black eyeliner by RIMMEL and an aqua liquid eyeliner by FACEFIX. 



This look is going to be added to my portfolio to present at LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION UNIVERSITY next September. Its a really affordable look to create because Ive used affordable make-up. I will start using more pigmented make-up such as MAC,NARS,COASTAL SCENTS etc after x-mas but for now I want to show the nation that these looks CAN be created with affordable make-up as I know not everybody can afford such expensive brands.
All feedback is very much appreciated. Any requests of posts you would like to see are also welcomed.

Rimmel London
030 Double Decker Red

Heya Chicas,
Here's a quick review on Rimmel London 030 Double Decker Red nail polish.
Im a fan of red,black and pink nail varnish. No other colors!! I done a little retail therapy
and bought two bottles. They was on special offer in Boots. Two for £5..BARGAIN!

This is 1 of the 2 bottles. I love Rimmel Nail Varnish. Its affordable & a good quality.
I applied this to my toes & hands. I found it to be long lasting on my toes but it chipped within 1-2 days on my nails which I wasn't too happy about grr! The color is very bold i.e the bottle name. Its DOUBLE DECKER RED. For those of you who live outside the U.K thats the color of a LONDON bus aha.

For those of you who dont know the proper way to apply nail varnish I will let you know.
You should start by pushing your cuticles down and clipping away any loose cuticle skin.Ensure you dont have any other nail varnish on. The worst thing to do is paint over nail varnish! Eww

Place brush at the bottom of your nail. Start in the middle of your nail plate and apply a little pressure fanning the brush out at the end. Working from the bottom to the top of your nail swiftly glide the brush. Repeat this application technique on the right and left side of the nail. NAILS SHOULD ALWAYS BE PAINTED IN THREE SWIFT GLIDES NOT LOADS OF LITTLE ONES! Wait until the first coat has dried before applying another coat.

Who else uses Rimmel London nail varnish? Used this color? What were the results after a couple of days?

Heya Chicas!
WOW am I excited. I've literally just this moment created a look for the FIRST time which I am so proud of. Im working on building my portfolio for Uni next year for my fashion make-up degree. So I decided to experiment on my little sister. Ive created a PINK LEOPARD EYE & MATTE PINK LIP LOOK. Obviously this has been done before but bare in mind im 18, NOT a professional, I havent had NO lessons, and I use affordable make-up to create my looks so you chicas can try it at home! 

Believe it or not I created this look using shimmery pink eyeshadow dust by FACEFIX, pink eyeliner by BARRY M,a lip brush and mascara (I run out of liquid eyeliner so I used the lip brush and mascara clever ayy ;])



For the lips I used pink lipliner by BARRY M and volume boost sugar pink lipstick by COLLECTION 2000.


Im really happy with what Ive managed to do and my little sister LOVES it.
Please leave your feedback! Im open to all opinions!
