I'm so sorry that i haven't done a blog in over a week! Actually.. almost 2 weeks. I've been pretty busy.
So here's an update:
* For those of you who know about the Poison Ivy wig trauma.. i have finally found a wig! I didn't receive the original that i ordered, but i found one just as good in a supermarket - it's actually a halloween wig. haha. So i will be doing that look very very soon.
* Yesterday i purchased this massive set of plastic drawers, and i organised my whole kit (which used to be piled up in a plastic bow under my bed) into sections - Foundations/Concealers/Powders/Face Primers - Mascara/Eyeliner/Liquid Eyeliners - Lipsticks/Lipglosses/Lip stains - Eyeshadows/Cream eyeshadows - Dazzle dusts/shimmery/glitters - Fake eyelashes/eyelash glue - Blushers/Bronzers/Highlighters/Contours. It's so much easier to find things, and now i can see what colours i have and what colours i need. It was only £20 and it really doesn't take up that much room.. I must take a photo!
* I have a busy few weeks ahead, from driving lessons, driving test, parties, make-up jobs, foot surgery, and resting. Yes, i said foot surgery! Even the word 'surgery' is scarey. Due to working in a factory working 24 hours in 2 days with very small padding in my safety shoes to protect my toes from touching the metal in them, have destroyed my poor toes, and i have had to wear flip flops in this horrible weather, as even one day of wearing closed in shoes.. my toes hurt so much they thump with pain. Many appointments with the 'ingrown toe' lady, and they refuse to heal! A LOT of money spent on antibiotics.. nothing works. Now i have an appointment for next week to go to Hospital and have part of my nails removed. EWWWW. I'm just dreading the needle..
In other news.. I am hoping to buy a car within the next 2 weeks, i've been saving up for 2 months now, Dad has chipped in to help afford a half decent car and insure it too. So, fingers crossed!
I'm sure i'll post photo's when i get it :)

Well, that's all for now. I've blabbed on.. and bored you all.

Jewellery to sell.

Ok, so i have a few pieces of jewellery that i need to get rid of, anything interesting that you can think of i can do with it? =/

So first, i have this gold heart shaped necklace, probably been worn once.

Next i have a D&G Necklace, not too sure if it is real or not, as it was a gift. I like the dog tag effect.

Couldn't get a very clear photo of this as it's silver and pretty shiney. Sorry!

I have more photo's to upload, but my laptop is REALLY slow..

Will upload more soon! :) x

Kardashian Looks+

I really want to try out Kim Kardashian's eye make-up, i found some photo's of all the sisters which i want to try over the next few days..

Which one do you like best?  x

Just an update..

Ok, so i wanted to update this blog a bit to keep you all updated.. I know i say 'all' and i have only 2 followers but those of you who are members of my Facebook page and just read this time to time, this goes to you guys too. (Click on the word 'Facebook' to go to my page).

So first;
Work:
♡ I am currently working Monday - Friday full time until Christmas, so please, if anyone wants to book up please don't request during the day. I will however, be happy to do evenings any time after 6pm if it is for a Party/Wedding.. etc.
Minimised Make-Up:
♡ I have found a new way of keeping my whole make-up kit condensed! It's very time consuming, but it's sooo handy. I've minimised all of my lipsticks, powders, blushers, and eye shadows (soon to be pigments too) into a very neat palette, all are labelled as they are all plain black outside. It's perfect. I will put a photo of them up, just in case any of you have troubles putting your little eyeshadow pots all together without taking up so much room!
Bye Bye Make-Up:
♡ Next, i will not be able to purchase any more make-up until after Christmas :( BOO! As i have to save all of my money for a new car, which will then enable me to travel to you guys! Instead of making my Ma drive me everywhere! - but if i see something stupidly cheap on Ebay/MAC, i will NOT hesitate to purchase it :)
Selling Jewellery:
♡ I have some jewellery that i would like to sell, not much mind you, but i don't just want to upload it on Ebay like any other boring person, i want to do something fun with it, make a competition, or something, but i need to make money from it also =/ Hmm, i'll have to think about it.
New Leaflets:
♡ Really need to photocopy my leaflets and design a new one too, but there's just not enough hours in the day at the moment! I will use my originals for the rest of the year, but i will have a brand new lot at the beginning of the year. I will post a copy of my leaflets onto Facebook, which is where most of my 'fans' are.
You have the link, check it out :)
New photos!:
♡ I know i need to do some more make-up looks, but again, i haven't had time. Today, i have been searching and searching the Internet for some inspiration, and now i think i will have enough photos for the rest of the year! haha. - I can assure you i am making a list of what i need to do!
Poison Ivy Look!:
♡ Most of my 'fans' on Facebook will know that i did a survey a while back about what look to do next and post on my page, but due to ordering in Kong Kong ..(i know) i haven't received the red wig that i need to complete the look! I will keep you up to date. Complaints are going their way!

Well, i think that is all i can think of at the moment.. If you have any questions, or any ideas of what else i can write about that you may be interested in reading, let me know!

Have a good weekend x

Long live Make-Up.

The photo's will be coming tonight, it took an hour to upload 2 out of 18 photos!! Damn computers.

So, while i have time, i thought i'd do a post about how long you should keep your make-up, to prevent sticky icky things on your eyes and lips, and all sorts of diseases!!. Eww.


♡Cream or Compact Foundation: 18 months

♡Concealer : 12-18 months

♡Powder (Pressed or Loose): 2 years

♡Blush and Bronzer: 2 years

♡Cream Blush: 12-18 months

♡Powder Eye shadow: 2 years

♡Cream Eye shadow: 12-18 months

♡Eyeliner: 2 years

♡Liquid eyeliner: 3-6 months

♡Mascara: 3 months

♡Lipstick: 2 years

♡Lip liner: 2 years

♡Lip gloss: 18-24 months

♡Nail Color: 1 year

If you mainly use natural cosmetics, then i recommend you throw these out sooner. Regular cosmetics contain ingredients that do help to prolong shelf life.

A little tip; As i'm a Make-Up artist, i always make sure that i will NEVER use an out of date product on my clients, so i put an expiry date on them so i know when to throw them out. x

Guys.. I need some new ideas!!

Been looking through quite a lot of photo's online from modelling websites etc. I was going to copy and paste them on here and get you to choose one, but i don't think that's a good idea. I don't like to copy other people's make-up styles, i believe everyone has their own way of applying make-up, and copying just isn't inspirational at all, and if it looks different to the original i'm bound to have someone say mine looks worse.. etc.
So i'm just going to ask if anyone has any ideas?

I'm open to them all!! x

My first photoshoot!

I was sooo excited to do my first photoshoot, with 3 lovely ladies who wanted some really nice photo's of themselves. I tried to do each girl differently, mainly for portfolio purposes. Here is a few photo's which i really LOVE!

Feedback would be great :) x

More Nails!

Just an idea of colours you could use on your nails if you think that there aren't many, trust me, there are plenty! I sometimes match my nails to my lipstick.

These are more of the lighter shades that look good with darker outfits, or even a LBD (little black dress) It all depends, they are easy to match to lipstick colours too :)

The darker shades, i always use a dark brown in the winter and i will now use my grey colour. I bought this shimmery green mainly for Christmas, i think it's nice. 

Hot Nails

In my previous post, i mentioned that i bought a new nail varnish.. Grey matte! It looks looooovely on and is the latest colour to wear on your nails. It also looks so nice with white tops or even black, wearing grey clothes will be way too much.
Here are some photo's ;

This last photo looks more brown than grey because of the lighting, i didn't get to buy a Barry M one as i bought this in my lunch break and didn't have enough time. I think it works just as good & it dries in 60 seconds!
All around, it's amazing. Go out and buy one! x
