Sorry for not posting that often

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been posting that often and have missed a couple of the #2014BloggerChallenge. It's because My laptop broke so I had to get a new one so now hopefully I can post more often. If anyone has anything they would like to me to blog about let me know by tweeting me, emailing me or commenting below. All my contact info is in the contact page HERE.

Photo's of my work

Since I missed topic 7 of #2014BloggerChallenge which was about photo's I thought I would just show you some of the makeup I have done for college as I am training to be a Makeup artist,  I only have about 7 weeks left which isn't that long. I am very excited to be qualified in something I love to do. The makeup I used is from my college kits so it isn't a well known brand and isn't the best that could be used. But once I start earning and save money I will be able to buy High end makeup for my kit.

This is one of the first makeups I did on someone else and it is a night out look. I have put gold on the lids and then a black on the outer v I also placed some black and gold on the lower lash line. For the lips I just used a light pink called sheer twig.


This makeup look is good for a prom. I used a silver on the lids and a dark shimmery grey on the outer v. One the lips i used a light shimmer pink lip gloss.

  
This an everyday makeup look. I used a light shimmer pale pink on the lids and a light matte brown through the crease and a dark matte brown on the outer v. On the lips I used a nude lipstick.


This makeup look was created for a competition and the theme was fantasy so I chose to do a forest pixie and I came 2nd place out of about 30 people. I used a gold on the lid and dark green mixed with black through the crease and outer v. I used a dark green eyeshadow with a bit of shimmer for the eyebrows. I contoured the face using a dark green eyeshadow. For the lips I used a light and ark green eyeshadow to create an ombre affect. 

If you liked any of the looks please let me know by commenting I love hearing peoples opinions.

Nails ~ #2014BloggerChallenge

Topic 5 of #2014BloggerChallenge is all about nails so I thought I would do a NOTD since I love to paint my nails.

On my nails I have the colour 'mink' by 17 which came in a pack 9 different mini nail varnishes. I think that nude colours can be worn all year round so that's why I love this colour. I also stuck a gem to jazz it up and make it a little less plain. I would really recommend this colour as the varnish is great quality for the price at only £3.99 a bottle.

High End V High Street ~ #2014BloggerChallenge

So this is topic 4 of #2014BloggerChallenge and it is all about High street and High end products. Since I am a student I can't afford much and I don't have many High end products so I thought I would do a Wish list of everything I want but can't have yet.

1. Smashbox Full Exposure palette. I have been wanting this since it came out as I think it is the perfect neutrals palette with shimmers and mattes.

2. Nars Orgasm / Laguna Duo. I have been wanting both of them in single form for a while as they are really nice colours and looking at reviews of them made me want them more.

3. Chanel Vitalumiere aqua. I have seen the Pixiwoo sisters use this a couple of there videos and I love the finished look of it.

4. Mac Paint pot in Painterly. I have seen many youtubers use this in their tutorials to even out the skin and work as a base for eyeshadow and I like how it evens out the skin tone and covers up any veins on the eyelid.

5. Urban Decay Naked 1, 2 & 3. I have a cheap dupe for the first one which I have done a review HERE. But I would like the real thing as I love all the colours in each palette.

I hope you liked this and it gave you idea's of what you might wanna buy. Comment telling me if there are any more High end products worth buying.
