FOTD's

Hey Guys!
Today I am posting up a few more FOTD's, technically it's pretty much the same make up products over and over, but at least you get to see different looks!

First up I tried a sweet, summery Gyaru style, a little bit natural (i.e no false eyelashes)

Innisfree eco natural cover BB cream (review soon)

Collection 2000 concealer-fair

Rimmel London under eye concealer

Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation

Lily Lolo  blush in Candy Girl

Urban Decay eyeshadow in Zero (matte black)

Next I tried a subtle Ulzzang look....

Body Shop eyeshadow duo-brown colour

Carins red lipstick(patted on to create stained effect)

You might be wondering how my eyes are green in the first picture and brown in the second, I just got a really cool eye colour changing app for my phone! In fact hopefully in my next post I will be listing my top favoirte photo editig application, just like XiaXue recently did!

In other news reviews that are up and coming will be Innisfree Eco natural Cover BB cream, Innisfree sebum control mineral powder (hopefuly) and Innisfree marbling brightener (hopefully)
Also I hope that if my exam results are good my dad will go halfers with me on a new camera, so the picture quality will be improved.
Thanks for reading!!! <3

I added in her famous triangle bottom lashes, and I realise my hand is on the stupid wrong side, damn!!

I am sorry It is in black and white....well grey, but I found this filter did it the most justice!!

Candy Doll Make up base review

Hey guys,
A few weeks ago now, I ordered Candy Doll Makeup base off of Adam beauty.com and It arrived promptly.
I decided I should probably do a review so here it is....

Packaging
OK I had to Camwhore a bit with the product because the packaging was soooo cayoot, I know, I know vain much ^--^

Because of the filter and the general rubbishness of the quality of this photo here is a more close up one...

I would give the packaging a 4/5 !!

Coverage
Do not expect much coverage from this product, it is very light with a light cream/gel texture. When blended you can see shimmer particles appear. Unfortunately I ordered in shade 2 by mistake, and I should have ordered shade 1, so I have actually been using this for contering and bronzing as it has a nice sheen to it.
2/5

Swatches below.....

Swatched..

Blended

Sorry the colour looks different but the lighting changed, with really good blending I could probably get away with this.

Usefulness as Makeup base?
It smooths your pores out slightly but not dramatically, I couldn't really say this made my makeup stay that much longer, maybe a little bit. I do like the sheeny, sparkly effect of this though, for a night out or party makeup it would be lovely!
3/5

Overall I think I would have enjoyed this product more if I had gotten it in the right shade. But please dont expect this to provide any coverage.

Summer days OOTD and FOTD

Hey guys,
I was planning on writing this post around a week ago when the weather in the UK was sunny and hot and I had a chance to dust off my summer wardrobe, unfortunately I am just starting a new year at school and have been preoccupied with exams and timetable shifts, so I am writing this post now.

This is an outfit and make up post from around 2 weeks ago when I was enjoying the summer weather, right now when I look outside it is currently grey,dull and raining and I am back in tights and jumpers, sigh...

The tank top is from New look I think and is pretty simple
The skirt is from Australia, which my sister bought me as a birthday present. I think the shop was called Supre
The necklace is vintage from my mum
I am wearing tan tights because my legs are very pale and just don't tan, I am immune to tanning....forever pale


next my FOTD

Collection 2000 concealer in fair

Rimmel Under eye concealer

Lily Lolo mineral foundation

Lily Lolo mineral blush in candy pink

Urban Decay eyeshadow pallette

Gyaru

Hmmmm I kind of wanted to do a post about Gyaru to me, if you know what I mean.
I think I started liking Gyaru around 6 months ago, maybe less.
I was just reading some blogs and suddenly a saw this really unique style and immaculate make up and I was like WOW.
I had wanted to go to Japan for other reasons apart from fashion and shopping, but this thing opened me up to the wonders of Japanese make up and fashion and I am glad.

I think I was just a bit sick of looking through fashion magazines here and hating practically all the styles I saw. Although I do like some British styles, some of the clothes I see in magazines that are supposed to be "fashionable" look awful. Pretty much every Gyaru magazine I have looked in has amazing clothes and amazing make up. That's another thing, Gyaru make up is AMAZING!! It is so much more polished and extravagant ( not right word but you get my gist) then a lot of British styles. I love Japanese models like popteen because they have amazing step by step guides on makeup. If you look at a lot of British makeup magazines the beauty section is small and full of totally unwearable looks. I don't want blusher in fushia colours up to my temples or pink spray die down my face! I want simple step by step instructions on how best to apply your base makeup and eye makeup. OK I am over exaggerating, there are some British fashion magazines that I like, and some make up styles that I like, I am just saying I like many Japanese styles more.

Gyaru to me is a way of being unique, although I am a shy person I like to think that sometimes I am noticed. OK not everyone is going to like the make up and clothes, but that is there choice and it doesn't put me off the style at all.
I don't think I would qualify myself as a full Gyaru yet, because I need to develop my makeup skills, buy some more clothe and Japanese makeup and do some research in Japanese magazines. But I hope to one day be a full on Gyaru!!.

Just as a side note I wanted to talk about Circle Lenses.
To many circle lenses are a stable object when becoming a Gyaru.
To me there is a problem, you may have noticed that in some pictures on one of my eyes is a permanent red patch that I have had for a a few years. I have no idea where it came from but it has never gone away. The optician was baffled and all that he could think of was that it was a thickening of the skin around the outer corner of my eye where a blood vessel had grew.
I am very apprehensive of trying circle lens because it restricts the oxygen getting to your eye and I am afraid that if I try them they will make the red patch grow or become painful.
Over time it might fade and I will be able to try them but until then that is the reason I never wear them in any pictures.

Ending this blog with two vain photots of myself ^--^

Bye
