Video: MAC Christmas Pigments Look

Hi!

I realised I've owned the MAC Christmas pigments for over a week and hadn't used them so I decided to just get in front of a camera and have a go. I had a vague idea of what I was going to do, but wasn't sure how well it would work since the pigments are so difficult to use and tend to blend together into one big sheen, which makes it hard to even tell what it's supposed to look like.

I usually would have made the crease of my eye darker to prevent the 'one big sheen' thing, but I wanted to mostly just use the pigments for those that have them and aren't sure how to use them.

I found it impossible to photograph it for some reason, so the photos are even more useless than normal today!

Also I'm gutted cause I did some pro skills with my eyeliner, didn't mess up once, but you can't tell at all from the photos :/

Eyes
MAC Paint Pot - Bare Study
MAC Crushed Metallic Pigments - Maribu, Femininity, Prettified, Dusty Desire
MUA e/s - Shade 2
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil - Asphyxia & Zero
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Perversion
Too Faced Glitter Liner - Freak Show
No 7 Extreme Length Mascara - Black  

Lips
Collection Cream Puff Lipstick - Cotton Candy

  

I am having second thoughts about the lip colour, I reckon a pink lipgloss might have been better, especially if it was glittery since that would be quite festive.



Thanks for reading (:  

Video: Pretty Grunge

Recently I remembered how much I love Smog eyeshadow by Urban Decay so I decided my next video had to feature it. It's one of very few eyeshadow colours I love to wear alone. Normally I'll use a good 3 or 4 colours in an eye look, but this one features just Smog (excluding the highlight colour).

I decided to call it 'Pretty Grunge' because the eyeshadow is relatively dark and smudgey, but then the lips are quite a light girly pink to balance it out. I quite like them together.

I wondered if it was even worth doing a tutorial on this, but I thought what the heck I'll do it anyway.

Jersey MAC & OPI Haul

Because I don't think I can ever have enough make up (apparently) I went and bought some more.

Video: Christmas Gold Glitter

So it begins, the Christmas makeup tutorials!

Pretty simple - gold glitter and red lips.

MAC Haul

As you can see, I got three lipsticks and two lipliners (how on Earth do you photograph lip liners, I just can't figure it out, they're so long so you have to be far away, but then the photo is so empty because they're thin! Plus they roll around).

Illamasqua Haul

Because I have no self control when it comes to make up I have decided to buy some more. This post is going to only be about Illamasqua since I got quite a lot, and there are quite a lot of photos for this brand alone, let alone other stuff I've bought recently.

Review & Tutorial: Lime Crime Aquataenia Palette

Hello!

 I haven't done a tutorial or written a blog post in far too long, so I'm endeavouring to resolve this.
