Your Weekend Read

Hello my lovely readers,
I do apologise for the fact that I have not kept up my Friday’s Weekend Read…oops :/. When I get back from Bali next week (yes I am flying out to Bali Friday night!!) I will make an effort to get back into routine. For this week I’m going to try out a little addition to the Weekend Read, I am going to include all the photos I’ve instagrammed this week…it will be like a visual summary of my week :) If you like this idea please let me know in the comments!!

I love this makeup combo! Using Makeup Geek Chickadee in the crease then darkened with MUG Cocoa Bear..I used a pale yellow on the lid, from my 88 Colour Palette by Coastal Scents and used MUG Shimma Shimma in the inner corners as a highlight…lined my water line with Maybelline Eyestudio waterproof gel liner in black, applied Morgan Annie mascara in black and bam, I look good! :P

About to walk to the hospital to visit my friend. I can’t express how much I love these shoes!! I have wanted a boots like these since…forever!…I am so glad I took the plunge and paid the $100 for them. I wear them ALL the time hehe, they are so comfy and go with a lot of my clothes <3 Plus I feel great when I wear them because I know that no one else has a pair in Perth…well not that I’ve as of yet. I’ll be pretty disappointed if I come across someone wearing them one day haha.

Got my hair cut (even shorter) today :D I’ve wanted to try out a micro fringe ever since I watched The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. I’m liking it so far! Btw how good are the millennium series!! I read the last one Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest in one sitting, all 741 pages! I didn’t finish it ’til 2.30am hehe. If you haven’t read them I recommend you go out and get yourself a copy. I can’t wait for the next movie to be made in English. Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara are perfect for the roles <3

Going through my old USBs tonight and I found a folder of pics from my 19th birthday…this is what I looked like (in 2009) three years ago!! This was when I first started to pursue makeup with a passion, thanks to Belinda who introduced me to Makeup Geek :D I look a tad different now :P  

Well this week hasn’t been a busy Instagram week ha, but I will be in Bali all next week so I will have lots of photos to show you all :D

Off to pack my bags!

Tutorial. Bring on the colour!

>Hello gorgeous people :-)

Today I am going on a road trip with a friend. We are driving up to the big smoke (Perth) for a poetry competition. My friend (who I am road tripping it with) is performing! I have never been to a poetry slam before so I am rather excited. I wanted to do a cool makeup look..with bold colours. Ahhh colour! You make me happy ha ha.

We are catching up with the rest of our gang in Perth. We’re having dinner and getting Bubble Tea…soo excited for Bubble Tea. I had it many years ago and ever since I’ve raved about it to my family. I hope it still tastes good :-D

I also wanted to do a photo tutorial. So here is my bold colourful tutorial!


 Step 1: Apply a base, I use MAC’s paint pot in Painterly.



 Step 2: Apply a blue eyeshadow on the lid and blend up and out. I used Barry Dazzle Dust #94.



 Step 3: Add a pop of yellow on the brow bone and inner corner of the eye. Barry M dazzle dust #76.



 Step 4: apply a reddish colored eyeshadow from the middle of the brow bone to the inner corner of the eye. I used the red from my 88 pallet. Blend.



 Step 5: Add the pop of white in the corners. I don’t have a really vibrant white eyeshadow so I just used my Barry M khol pencil in white. Blend.



 Step 6: Line under the lower lashline with a purple eyeshadow. I used a dark grape purple from my 88 pallet.



 Blend up and into the blue.



Step 7: line the water line with a black liner. I used a generic black gel liner from Makeup Geek.





Finished!



And here are some full face shots…
















Ok well that was a LOT of photos ha ha…I went a bit crazy with the photos  :-P
